Seeking to find ways to make Q-Transformers more popular, Optimus Prime invited Kazumi onto Q-Transformers Radio to quiz him about the manga and anime he starred in. Kazumi was first asked by Bumblebee if he knew anything about Transformers, which resulted in him insulting Bee. He responded to the news that Bumblebee thought Optimus was a little unreliable by reassuring the Autobot that it would just make the team bonds stronger. Kazumi broke out his Optimus Prime impression when asked, much to the delight of all present, and filled them in on the plans for the thirtieth anniversary of his manga.
