== "Deal With It" ==

Yeeeeeah. This is becoming the latest reference the Wiki hammers into the ground until it means nothing, isn't it? Let's not overdo it, folks.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 19:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, but come on, Ultra Magnus. The others have it, he'll feel left out [[User:GWolfv2]]
::There's already one "deal with it" in there. I don't mind that. What I mind is people adding ten ''more'' "deal with it" jokes. It's like when they decided every Animated article needed six chin jokes. Less is more.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 20:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I really liked the line about having the hammer so he can deal with things. It's funny, leave it in!<div id="wikia-credits"> From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</div>

'''The Cybertron Elite Guard arrives on Earth to retrieve the All Spark and relieve Prime and his crew of their post, but they prove less than adept at blending in with the human world.'''

==Summary==
On the extensive highway system of [[Detroit]], the Autobots are aiding in the repair efforts after their titanic battle with the Decepticons. Unfortunately the residents of the city don't seem to ''understand'' that the road system was blown to rubble by the battle, and are upset that the Autobots are holding up traffic. Optimus Prime heads over to address their concerns, and they flee in fear. Bulkhead comments that he liked it better when they were heroes, to which Ratchet retorts that they still are. All of them wonder what the heck has happened that Bumblebee isn't there helping them.

There's no reason for them to be jealous though, as the little yellow bot has been pressed into service as Sari's secretary at [[Sumdac Tower]]. The little girl realizes that there's a lot of pressure in running a business, and feels sorry for her father's having had to deal with this. Porter C. Powell is less patient, and expresses a fairly cold attitude towards her "wasting" company funds on locating the genius who designs all the company's myriad robotic technologies. Sari is unable to address his concerns though, as an unidentified flying object is spotted in Detroit's skies.

Spotting it, the Autobots speed to the scene, only to be met with some justified resentment by Captain Fanzone. However they are allowed to pass once the ship is revealed to be crewed by Autobots. Sentinel Prime steps out of the ship and, once the Autobot crew walk up the gangplank, quarantines the entire area in a forcefield.

Sentinel is assigned to decontaminating the long lost Autobot crew, a task he takes to with relish until he is interrupted by Jazz for overdoing it. Released, the Autobots are informed that the Elite Guard have come to retrieve the AllSpark. Optimus explains that it suffered damage in a battle with the Decepticons, a fact that Sentinel accuses him of lying about.

==Quotes==
'''Optimus''': This is completely unnecessary, Sentinel! 
'''Sentinel''': Can't risk an infestation, "old buddy". Take it like a real bot. 
''[Jazz shuts down the decontamination system]'' 
'''Jazz''': Cool it, Sentinel. Whatever went down between you and Optimus, you don't need to hassle his crew.
:{{m-}}'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Jazz''' are reminded that '''Sentinel Prime''' is a jerk.

"Man, that was some funky blinkin colored light show! What'd you call those things again?" 
"Traffic lights?" 
"Traffic lights. Solid." 
:{{m-}}'''Jazz''' discovers the wonderful world of commuting with the help of '''Bulkhead'''. 

'''Bulkhead''': It's no good! They're coming out faster than I can smash 'em! 
'''Jazz''': Is it always like this on this crazy planet? 
'''Prowl''': Pretty much. 
:{{m-}}'''Jazz''' learns that Prime's crew has anything but a quiet life.

"Hey, why is my office locked?" 
"Ms. Sumdac, I regret to inform you that your services will no longer be required. The board has unanimously elected me to take over as CEO of [[Sumdac Systems]]." 
"You can't do that! This is still my family's company!" 
"Is it? I took the liberty of doing some research into your claim. It might interest you to know that there is no will, no birth certificate, no adoption papers, social security number, or any kind of record for a 'Sari Sumdac'." 
"Are you saying I can't prove I'm Isaac Sumdac's daughter?" 
"I'm saying you can't even prove you exist." 
:{{m-}}'''Sari''' and '''Porter C. Powell''' create a drastic change in plot.

==Other notes==
===Continuity errors===
* Errors

===Transformers references===
* Sentinel's past experience with organics is a reference to [[Along Came a Spider|a previous episode]].
* The force-field that Sentinel uses to quarantine the area around the ship is highly reminiscent of the [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] security system in ''[[Beast Wars]]''.
* This episode reveals that both Jazz & Prowl are practitioners of the Cybertronian martial art of [[Metallikato]], originally used by the Generation 1 character [[Bludgeon]].
* Jazz's curiosity and respect for Earth culture is a reference to his [[Jazz (G1)|Generation 1 namesake's]] personality.
* Prowl mentions [[space barnacles]], first seen in "[[Nature Calls]]".

===Real-world references===
* Ultra Magnus' Hammer is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Thor|Thor]]'s hammer [[Wikipedia:Mjolnir|Mjolnir]].

===Miscellaneous trivia===
* Megatron is evidently fully repaired now, while his subordinates are having trouble with their arms falling off. Guy's got priorities, certainly.
* We don't know what's happened to Starscream's body (alive or dead). Presumably he's either crawled off somewhere or been retrieved by Megatron, since it doesn't seem to have occurred to Optimus to use him as evidence of Decepticon activity.
* Speaking of evidence, how about all that recorded footage of the 'Cons that Megatron was paging through?
* So, what ''is'' the deal with Sari, anyway?
