Bumblebee attempts to mount Strafe.
Synopsis
[edit]Relaxing, Bumblebee spies Strafe circling overhead. The Narrator, sensing Bumblebee wants to learn to ride, supplies him with a book with diagrams. As the first step is mounting the Dinobot, Bumblebee jumps from a cliff, intending to land on the apparently oblivious Strafe below, however Strafe moves at the last moment, leaving Bumblebee to impact with the ground. Bumblebee attempts to chase the Dinobot, only to be led over another crevasse and fall in.
At the continued encouragement of the Narrator, Bumblebee sprinkles some seasoning on a gear placed within a lasso. This time he manages to get the rope around Strafe's feet, only for the Dinobot to fly him into the side of a cliff. As the book bounces off his head and falls to the ground, Bumblebee pulls out a gun and disintegrates it.

Notes
[edit]Transformers references
[edit]- While the seasoning Bumblebee sprinkles on the giant gear goes unidentified, it might be iron filings.
Real-world references
[edit]- The desert setting and cartoon physics are strongly reminiscent of Chuck Jones's Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.
