'''Bulkhead encounters life-threatening danger during the last relic hunt.'''

==Synopsis==

}}

==Quotes==
"I can has cheeseburger!"
:— Yes, '''Agent Fowler''' actually said that

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
* Both of Bulkhead's maces silently transform as he is first fighting Hardshell.

===Continuity notes===
* This is the final episode of the four-part relic-hunting arc, which all happen concurrently. This episode focuses on Bulkhead and Fowler. Fowler's handling of [[Vogel]] in "[[Tunnel Vision]]" and the Antarctic research base in "[[Triangulation]]" are shown from his point of view. Raf is also seen programming the virus that Ratchet installs in [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] in "Triage". The ending scene is the same as in "Triage".
* Fowler makes mention of his old Army Ranger days, which he first mentioned in "[[Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime]]".
* Bulkhead flashes back to numerous episodes from the first season, first to battle scenes, then to scenes with Miko.

===Transformers references===
* Hardshell is the modern name for the G1 Insecticon [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]].
* Hardshell says, [[Megatron (BW)|'Yesss']].

===Real-world references===
* While still recovering from the events of dark energon from a previous episode, Fowler blurts out "I can has cheeseburger"; which is a popular cat-based internet meme.

===Trivia===
* While in the past the Wreckers have generally been a small, closely-knit unit (despite their horrific attrition rates), Hardshell noting he's faced Wreckers numerous times suggests the team is much larger in the Aligned continuity.
