You know that nice, sweet girl, [[Sari Sumdac]]? Yeah, this isn't that Sari. This '''Sari Sumdac''' collects eyes. Years of torture can do that to a girl. She hails from an alternate continuity from the normal Animated universe, where everything is flipped, turned upside down. Autobots are evil. Decepticons are good. [[Porter C. Powell]] is a nice guy. [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|You know the deal.]]

==Fiction==
When [[Isaac Sumdac (SG Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]] discovered and touched her [[protoform]] in his lab, she absorbed his DNA and attacked him, tearing out his eye (OUCH). Her violent nature impressed him, and from then on, he raised her in a cage, subjecting her to constant painful experiments and upgrades. After testing the results of [[AllSpark]] fragment implantation, her true power was revealed. Subsequently armed with a battle mode, she served as a slave alongside the [[Autobot]]s. While she enjoyed the destruction and power, she was more of a prankster than truly evil. She hated her "creator" with every fiber of her being, and dreamed of the day when she would be free to finish what she started all those years ago. {{storylink|BotCon 2011|BotCon 2011 attendee lithograph}}

The [[Autobot]]s were captured by [[Heroic Youths Battling Robots Infesting Detroit|HYBRID]] and stuck in [[Soundwave (SG Animated)|Soundwave]]'s VR world, so Sari gathered some local [[hobobot]]s, "convinced" them to help her, and went to get the slaves back to normal. They beat up HYBRID and freed the Autobots, then her "dork armada" ran off, and she and the Autobots smashed Soundwave. {{storylink|The AllSpark Almanac Addendum}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Generations_2011_animated_illustration.jpg|thumb|150px|Shattered Glass Sari, I choose you, [[The Motor Master|OHHHH YEEAH!]] ]]
* ''Shattered Glass'' Sari was first revealed in two posts on [[Derrick J. Wyatt]]'s blog,<ref>http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2010/10/many-moods-of-sari-sumdac.html</ref><ref>http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2011/04/transformers-generations-2011-vol-1.html</ref> and first officially shown in a special illustration Wyatt created for inclusion in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' Vol. 1. Seems like while Takara were cool about her having a bare midriff, it didn't fly with Hasbro.
* Belonging to two entirely different, and previously unlinked franchises, Sari and [[Bumblebee (SG Animated)|other]] [[Optimus Prime (SG Animated)|members]] of her universe present a... bit of a classification problem.

'''The Bots are enlisted to watch after Doc Greene's Robo-Baby.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FourBotsBaby Robo-Baby introduction.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The [[Rescue Bot]]s are in the middle of repairing a bridge outside town, when an impatient motorist attempts to jump his motorcycle across the gap. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] attempt to rescue him, but Kade falls loose from Heatwave's ladder. The two [[human]]s head for a nearby waterfall, and all seems lost until Heatwave throws his fire hose, and Kade grabs it, saving them both.

Sometime later, [[Doc Greene]] shows video of the incident to [[Cody Burns]] in way of explanation for the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] he's built. Cody offers to be a test driver, but the doc already has someone for that. Cody believes himself to be more responsible than Kade, but Greene reminds him of the incident with the fusion-powered water gun. [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] has an idea, and believes Cody can prove he's mature by taking care of one of the doctor's other inventions—the [[Robo-Baby]], designed to record how babies see the world. Cody is unsure, and even less so when it turns out the Robo-Baby is even capable of soiling itself.

Cody takes the Robo-Baby back to the fire station, where he ropes the Rescue Bots into helping him look after the tyke. Heatwave regards it as a [[spark]]less machine, while the other Bots are enamored by it. [[Boulder]] attempts to warm some milk for the baby with a blowtorch, which results in a mess. While they clean the mess up, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] finds a baby bottle which quiets the Robo-Baby down, though it spews on [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. After it starts crying, Chase finds a [[Rubber Ducky]]. The baby doesn't like the toy, and throws it into the air. The Rubber Ducky lands in a nearby sink and is sucked down a drain, eventually entering the sewer system where it clogs a pipe. The sewer soon bursts.

Still trying to calm the Robo-Baby, Chase attempts to sing a lullaby, but his loud, flat singing doesn't help. Cody refuses to consult his siblings, but then they discover that Blades's rotors work like a mobile and the baby is soon snoozing. Unfortunately there's an emergency alarm-the broken sewer has caused a sinkhole to appear in front of the bank. While the Rescue Bots roll out, Cody takes the baby to the control room so he can monitor the rescue and the baby at the same time. Once at the bank, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades rescue a stranded bank customer, Heatwave and Chase set about propping the building up, and Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] venture into the hole to check out the burst pipe. As they need to shut down the water, Cody switches the power from the hydro-electric plant to the wind farm. The sight of the wind farm turbines wakes the Robo-Baby, but the bank is saved, and Graham fishes the Rubber Ducky from the pipe. Cody looks around, and discovers that the Robo-Baby is gone.

The Rescue Bots return to the fire station to find Cody searching for the baby. Frankie gives Cody a call from the ferry to check how he's doing, and tells him that the Rob-Baby's worth three million dollars. The now-desperate search comes up blank, but Cody spots the wind farm rotors on the monitor, and they head there under the assumption that's where the Robo-Baby is. Heatwave uses his olfactory [[sensors]] to detect the baby, and they find it heading up one of the windmills on a platform. With Blades unable to move close enough to pick the baby up, Chase uses his singing to keep it away from the edge while Boulder scales the windmill. Unfortunately the baby falls before Boulder reaches it, and Heatwave has to grab it out of mid-air.

Doc Greene is fascinated by the readings the Robo-Baby has recorded. Impressed, Greene announces Cody can test the Turbo Cycle. Kade gets to look after the Robo-Baby for the next week.

==Quotes==
"Blades, watch the baby!"<br>
"Watch it do what?!"
:—'''Cody''' and '''Blades'''

"Ah, leakage that's not baby related."
:—'''Heatwave'''

"ROCK A BYE BABY ON TOP OF THE ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCE. WHEN BOULDER CLIMBS UP, THE ROBO-BABY MAY LOSE ELEVATION PRECIPITOUSLY AND I CAN'T WATCH IT FALL AND BREAK IT'S ARMS.
:—'''Chase''' singing a song that might not end well.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*840 wind turbines would not only far surpass the highest number of turbines for any single real-world wind farm, it would also require an area far larger than Griffin Rock itself!

===Continuity errors===

===Real-world references===
*The episode's title refers to the 1987 comedy film, [[Wikipedia:3 Men and a Baby|''3 Men and a Baby'']] (which just happened to be directed by [[Leonard Nimoy]]).

===Foreign localization===
===Trivia===
* Graham just up and sticks his unprotected arm into a sewer pipe. That doesn't seem especially healthy!
