'''Professor Penelope''' ("'''Penny'''" for short) '''"Princess" Sutton, Ph.D.''' is a little girl out to rid the world of violent boys' [[Toy|toys]]... by violently destroying them and any who stand in her way. Also, she hates rock music. (No accounting for taste...) Her arsenal includes a magic wand, razor-edged flowers, exploding kitten dolls, and her toy flying unicorn, [[Powdered Sugar]], which fires both beam and projectile weaponry from its horn.

Go ahead and laugh, but she took out [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and humiliated [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]].

She insists she is just trying to save people from dangerous, corrupting influences, and will not classify herself as a criminal or villain.

''Professor Princess came across [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] lying in a forest, trapped in [[stasis lock]] after his battle with [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] over the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. Starscream attempted to get her to reactivate him fully via manual restart switch...but because he didn't say "please", she gave him a faceful of Powdered Sugar's rainbow beam. After Starscream finally asked "nicely" for her help, Princess said that she'd fix him up...which actually meant give him a rather ridiculous makeover, complete with a pink wig and lipstick. Starscream's indignant cries earned him another rainbow blast, which actually jump-started his systems, letting him move freely. The only thing that saved Princess was the threat that should any harm befall her (or Powdered Sugar), an image of the "made-up" Starscream would be broadcast across the planet, if not the galaxy. Starscream politely let Princess go...failing to notice she had drawn happy rainbows and daisies all over his back.'' {{storylink|Whatever Happened To Whatisname?}}

[[Image:TFA Professor Princess Powdered Sugar head.JPG|200px|thumb|She shouldn't have refused the Don.]]

Later, Professor Princess attacked a toy store where [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and [[Sari Sumdac]] were shopping as part of her crusade to destroy "awful, violent toys". (''Oh, the irony...'') In her opening attack, she succeeded in incapacitating Bulkhead. However, Sari weakened her with a concentrated blast of very loud music from an [[AllSpark Key]]-enhanced stereo, and Bulkhead pinched Powdered Sugar's laser horn as it was about to fire, causing it to explode. The wannabe supervillainess was left bawling in the middle of the street, her unicorn's decapitated head on her lap. {{storylink|Sound and Fury}}

''Professor Princess actually became a brief ally of Bulkhead during [[Porter C. Powell]]'s control of [[Sumdac Systems]], as she was completely offended by the proliferation of the clunky, ugly "[[Bulkhead (vehicle)|Bulkhead]]" mega-van (though she kinda liked the one deco'd with flowers and rainbows). As the Autobot Bulkhead chased after the Angry Archer, who was escaping a bank heist in his own Bulkhead, Princess swooped in to attack and rant. She flew away when the Archer's vehicle exploded shortly after rolling over and crashing.'' {{storylink|The Insincerest Form of Flattery}}

[[Slo-Mo]] later recruited her along with [[Nanosec]] and the [[Angry Archer]] to form [[Society of Ultimate Villainy|a villainous team]] to defeat the Autobots once and for all. Professor Princess was initially opposed to the idea of classifying herself as a villain, but showed little aversion to stealing a large sack full of dolls on the team's first crime spree. Soon, [[Swindle (Animated)|a mysterious benefactor]] recruited the group to steal components for a massive weapon. While seeking out the weapon parts they needed, Princess used her magic wand to neutralize Angry Archer's nasty, violent exploding arrows, preferring her own rainbow-and-pink-glitter-colored explosions instead. At the end of that mission, Swindle betrayed his human lackeys. The group joined forces with [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] to stop Swindle, but the villains would not completely reform. Botching their getaway by attempting to use the disabled Swindle in vehicle mode, they were captured again and sent back to jail. {{storylink|SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy}}

==Notes==
* Professor Princess is an obvious spoof of many toy franchises for young girls, such as [[wikipedia:Rainbow Brite|Rainbow Brite]] and [[My Little Pony]].
* The ammo fired from Professor Princess's bazooka in "Sound and Fury"—balls that "pop" open into (exploding) cat dolls—appears to be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Popples|Popples]]''.
* Her theme music is similar to that of the main character from ''[[wikipedia:Sailor_Moon|Sailor Moon]]''.
* She is apparently able to disarm grenades expertly glued to a stick.
* While we got a bit more of her real name from her mugshot in "[[SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy]]" ("Prof. Penny Princess Ph.D"), her ''full'' name was revealed in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011#Volume 1|Generations 2011 Vol. 1]]''.

'''Knock Out and Jack are both drawn into the world of street racing.'''

==Synopsis==
Cruising along a road at night, [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] listens to a news report about illegal street racing. Switching it off, he pulls up alongside three other cars waiting to race. The [[Fast Willy|driver of one]] decides to put a long scratch in Knock Out's paintwork, rousing the [[Decepticon]]'s ire. After the race starts, Knock Out runs the other driver off the mountain road, informing the stunned human, "You scratch my paint, I scratch yours," before racing off.

[[Image:SpeedMetal-whispering.jpg|left|thumb|250px|There are so many captions for this, all of them dirty.]]

Outside the high school, [[Jack Darby|Jack]] encounters school bully [[Vince]], who mocks [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]'s vehicle mode. Jack and Arcee leave, but while stopped at a traffic light, Jack's called out to by [[Sierra]], who's keen on a ride. Before Jack can answer, Vince pulls up and challenges him to a race. Jack's still thinking about it when the light changes and Arcee takes off, reminding Jack of the rules about abusing their power. Vince catches up with them at the next light and insults Arcee's motorcycle mode, goading her to suspend the rules, just this once. The pair let Vince know they're ready for the race, and Sierra and [[Sierra's friend|her friend]] turn out at an old dirt road to spectate. Arcee's driving abilities far outstrip Vince's, and they win easily, but Arcee turns down Jack's suggestion that they should offer Sierra a lift.

On the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] is buffing the comatose [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] wanders in to check on the patient and wonders aloud where Knock Out's got to. The 'Con himself walks in a few moments later, complaining about the scratch some "skinjob" put in his finish. Starscream is most disapproving that Knock Out's been street racing again, though what ''really'' annoys him is Knock Out's failure—and glib refusal—to refer to Starscream as "Lord".

Back at [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]], Arcee reminds Jack not to tell anyone about the race, but it turns out [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] already know, having heard about it at school. Jack swears them to secrecy.

At school, Sierra tells Jack she was impressed with the outcome of the race, but Vince challenges Jack to race again, this time at the circuit. Jack's compelled to agree, but Arcee flatly refuses to race.

Knock Out is out cruising a road somewhere near [[Jasper]], when a speeding street racer car gets his attention, and he heads toward the town.

Jack asks Raf if he can borrow [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] so he can go street racing. Raf isn't so sure (much to Bumblebee's dismay), but Miko and Jack talk him into it. Jack and Bumblebee haul up at the race track, as does Knock Out. As the race begins and Bumblebee and Vince jostle for lead position, Knock Out recognizes Bumblebee and begins chasing the Autobot while firing. Jack finds he has problems overcoming the communications barrier with 'Bee.

Back at base, Miko and Raf are playing a [[Generic racing game|video game]] when Arcee asks them if they've seen Jack. They attempt to cover for their friend, but Arcee immediately works out what's up, and a short time later, Bumblebee's distress call comes though.

Bumblebee dumps some oil to slow Knock Out down, then ducks under a bridge. At first, it seems they've lost the Decepticon, but Vince hauls in to confront Jack and demand he finish the race. Jack tries to warn Vince of the danger, but Vince's headlights have attracted Knock Out, who grabs the boy, renders him unconscious, drives off. Knock Out contacts Breakdown to announce he's captured Bumblebee's human "friend". Arcee and Bulkhead join Bumblebee, but before Arcee can start a lecture, Jack tells her about Vince, and they head off to mount a rescue.

[[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] walks into the base and wonders where everyone else is. Raf and Miko give him the least convincing replies ever.

[[Image:PrimeScreamer'sFingerOfDoom.JPG|right|thumb|250px|"Not the gumdrop buttons!"]]

The three Autobots track Knock Out to a warehouse area, and Bulkhead and Bumblebee stroll in while Arcee scales a nearby water tower. Bulkhead and Bumblebee are ambushed by Breakdown. Just as Knock Out is wondering where Arcee is, she jumps on top of him. Knock Out decides to bail, but at least has the courtesy to radio Breakdown and let him know. Unfortunately, the call distracts Breakdown long enough for Bulkhead to deck him with a street lamp. Knock Out streaks down a road with Arcee in pursuit, but is suddenly sideswiped by Optimus, who knocks him onto the embankment. With the 'Con unable to flee, Optimus rips his door off and retrieves the unconscious Vince. Knock Out is outraged at the damage done to him, but retreats when the rest of the Autobots arrive. Vince finally recovers in Bumblebee on the way back to his car, and Jack spins a story to cover the whole thing.

Starscream is ''very'' upset with Knock Out's antics. Knock Out assures Starscream that he's learned his lesson and paid the price. Unfortunately for Knock Out, he once again addresses Starscream as "Commander" instead of "Lord", so Starscream gives him some more scratches as punishment.

At school again, Sierra asks Jack for a ride, but he turns her down. Arcee, however, is feeling more accommodating—just this once—and soon Jack and Sierra are zooming through town.

==Quotes==
"Uh, Jack? A lady's vital stats are her own business."
:—'''Arcee''' doesn't want Jack bragging about the different aspects of her body.

"Winning isn't enough, Jack. You want to make him ''cry''."
:—'''Arcee''' explains her method of getting even.

"No worries, ''herr commandant''." 
"It is 'Lord' to you." 
"Only if Megatron takes a nosedive." 
"''Hhhnnn.'' The day our master emerges from stasis, I will graciously relinquish the title. But I believe that outcome is unlikely. Something to do with the quality of medical care around here. So continue ''buffing''. We do want Megatron looking his best for the memorial." 
(''Starscream leaves the room.'') 
"Buff ''this''."
:—'''Knock Out''' and '''Starscream''' don't exactly see eye-to-eye.

'''Arcee''': Have you guys seen Jack?

'''Arcee''': Did you know about this?

[[Image:SpeedMetal-OptimusEyebrow.jpg|thumb|250px|Highly [[Leonard Nimoy|illogical]].]]

'''Raf''': We should just tell Optimus the truth. 
'''Miko''': Absolutely not! We made a deal. Just act completely normal. 
'''Optimus''': Raf, Miko, do either of you know where the others have gone? 
'''Miko''': Why, no, sir. We do not know. 
'''Raf''': ''(stiffly)'' Miko is correct. We do not know. 
'''Miko''': Why would we know? 
'''Optimus''': Hmm.
:—Seriously, it's a minor miracle the kids haven't blown their cover with their parents yet.

"Do you know how hard that is to replace?!"
:—'''Knock Out''' loses a door to Optimus Prime.

"Knock Out! Was I not clear? You have defied my orders yet again!" 
"My mistake, Commander Starscream. But, I've learned my lesson... and paid the price. 
"It. Is. '''LORD'''! And you have paid when I say you have paid! ''[extends a sharpened finger]'' Do not worry, your punishment shall be merely... cosmetic." 
"No, not the finish! Anything but the finish! ''[the "cosmetic punishment" begins offscreen]'' NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
:—<s>Commander</s> '''LORD Starscream''' reminds '''Knock Out''' where he stands.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*Sierra and her friend hold their books back-to-front. This is not [[The Jasper Daily|uncommon]].
*When Jack and Arcee stop at the second traffic light, Arcee's front wheel is shown not moving at all, as if it were sliding on the asphalt instead of spinning.
*When Arcee and Jack drive along the street (while debating Jack's decision to accept Vince's second challenge), all the traffic lights are shown as if they were upside down; red lights are in the place of green lights and vice versa.
* Like in the [[Deus ex Machina|previous episode]], the clear parts of Arcee's chest are pink.
*While Knock Out drives away (after kidnapping Vince), and Jack turns to talk to Bumblebee, the former's rear-lights are white instead of red.
*Simply driving on oil, or bumping into another car, would not make any car spin-out. However, we see this many times in T.V. shows and in movies.

===Continuity errors===
*Despite school just getting out, when Jack, Vince, and Sierra are talking, the roads are empty.
*Vince challenges Jack to a race on a "dirt road", but the road they race on is sealed and marked.

===Real-world references===
*Knock Out calls Fast Willy a "skinjob," a derogatory slang term used to refer to the human-like [[Wikipedia:Cylon (reimagining)|Cylons]] in the 2004 re-imagining of ''[[Wikipedia:Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', itself an homage to ''[[Wikipedia:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]''.
*Vince refers to Jack as "Ponch", a motorcycle-based reference to Erik Estrada's cycle-riding cop character from ''[[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]]''.
*Knock Out calls Starscream "Herr Kommandant", a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Hogan's Heroes|Hogan's Heroes]]''.
* "Drucker's Ranch" is presumably a reference to [[Steve Drucker]], longtime [[Hasbro]] creative person.

===Trivia===
* This is the first episode to premiere on a Saturday.
* Several of the other street racing cars in this episode are simply recolored variations of Bumblebee and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]'s alternate modes (sans horns in the case of the latter). Hello, easy [[redeco]]es!
* At least two of said cars never actually leave the starting line once the race begins.
* Sierra's friend continues to remain nameless, despite having appeared in more episodes than Sierra herself at this point. This girl really needs to introduce herself!
* Bumblebee's [[license plate]] is 936 SOH.
*How Many Rule 'No. #1's can the Autobots ''have''?
*In point-of-fact, it may have been better for Knock Out to stay with Breakdown rather than leave, seeing as he lost a door in addition to a nasty scratch.
