'''When the team visits the local museum, they think Whirl's gone into police overdrive.'''

==Synopsis==
The recruits are confused by a new object, which [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] assumes is some sort of robot, and [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] suspects of being some sort of spy. [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] is about to blast it when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] reveals is a souvenir statuette of [[Horace Burns]], founder of [[Griffin Rock]]. The recruits are confused by the concept of art, so Heatwave decides to take them on a field trip to the museum in [[Milford]]. Whirl starts organizing her police gear under the assumption they'll encounter a heist. 

Arriving at the museum, the bots stay in their vehicle modes until they see the security guard closing up and then they head inside. They start admiring the art, though Whirl scoffs at the security systems and starts looking for signs of a burglary. She spots a janitor heading into a utility room and heads to warn the others about the potential burglary. Heatwave suggests she takes the night off from police work. They spot the janitor moving about nearby, and Heatwave realizes [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] must have forgotten about the cleaning staff. While the others resume looking at art, Whirl decides to tail the janitor and watches him cleaning, until finally she realizes that his cleaning bucket is actually empty. As the "janitor" is headed towards the main hall, she contacts the others to warn them.

The other Bots quickly realize there's nowhere for them to hide, but at Heatwave's instruction, they pretend to be works of art. The thief walks right past them, and they head outside so they're not spotted. Whirl follows the thief, who appears to be attempting to snatch the full-sized statue of Horace Burns. She has the others outside create a distraction, which allows her to rig up a trap. When the thief returns to his thieving, Whirl catches him in a noose and carries him out of the museum. Heatwave says he'll contact Chief Burns to let him know Whirl is on the way.

Later, back at base, the recruits reflect on what they've learned, and Heatwave presents Whirl with a Horace Burns statuette, but Whirl, considering the successful capture a team effort, decides to share the statue with the rest of the team.
