## Plot

The film would follow The Lost Bots as they go on their first official mission since becoming an official squad. The Lost Bots would travel to the mall and split up to investigate different areas - the food court, department stores, arcade, etc. The villain bot could be named something like Havoc-Tron. His villainous plan would add stakes and a sense of urgency to The Lost Bots' investigation. The Lost Bots would have to overcome obstacles caused by the villain's malfunctions as they work to track him down and stop his plot. This would highlight how their different skills complement each other as a team. Each would encounter bots affected by the strange malfunctions. The film's climactic battle would take place somewhere spectacular in the mall like the food court fountain. The Lost Bots would ultimately succeed in stopping the villain, saving the mall and proving themselves as a formidable team of bots.

The Lost Bots are enjoying some downtime at the mall food court and talking after their victory. Their chatter is suddenly interrupted by a series of strange sounds and flashing lights coming from the game arcade. They investigate and discover a new bot who has been stuck inside an arcade game for who knows how long. This could set up the arrival of a new member for The Lost Bots squad in future stories.
