Has someone confirmed this is the character's name? I took "discharge scores for the Polyhex team" as equivalent to "point scores for the Polyhex team," that it was referencing the discharge of energon. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 08:49, 15 October 2018 (EDT)

The Announcer says "Absorption!" immediately before the line, which to me swings it in favour of Discharge being the player name since it would otherwise be redundant. Maybe someone could ask the writer on Twitter? --abates (talk) 16:54, 15 October 2018 (EDT)
Yeah, that's reaching, IMHO. The act of the energon being released from the Cube is "Absorbtion", both with the score in question and later when Bee is dealing with the spiked Cube. Also even allowing for the announcer drone running Cybertronian OCR, "discharge scores" would be horrific from a grammatical standpoint. We don't say "point scores", we say "X scored" or "X scored a point". - TBR (talk) 17:11, 15 October 2018 (EDT)

I asked on Twitter and turns out I was wrong!

You know, every time I start to fret about Twitter rotting our brains, we get something like this and I'm reminded of the awesomeness of it connecting us like this. - TBR (talk) 17:14, 15 October 2018 (EDT)
