	Bumblebee is nervous about the mission, especially with half the team absent, and it's only made worse when Fanzone ''claims'' the helicopter can't safely land and they'll need to jump down. Bumblebee believes there's no way Afterburn could figure out a way down, and is embarrassed when the dude effortlessly comes up with a simple way to jump down down safely... and then ''more'' embarrassed when he screws up the safe landing and almost hits a big rock (luckily Sari reminded him he has ''brakes''). To add insult to injury, Afterburn lands smoothly and wins Sari's affection again; Bumblebee looks like he wants to cry.

	''Just'' as Ratchet says they need to find Snarl and Swoop, Snarl comes charging out at them. Bumblebee and Afterburn both dodge him, but Ratchet forgets he can move and is knocked down and gnawed by Snarl! Luckily, Sari reminds him he has ''magnetic powers'' and can throw Snarl away. While Afterburn gazes at amazement at the power Snarl showed and is reminded of something, Bumblebee steps out to finish Snarl off... at which point Swoop turns up and knocks him into mud.
