	''' '''		'''Optimus, Bumblebee and Lockdown discuss how to differentiate between Autobots and Decepticons.'''

	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	~~{{episodestub}}~~		Continuing their discussion, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]] agree that it's not as simple as pulling any stunt to win new fans, they have to stay true to the ''Transformers'' formula. For this reason, they will go over previous series and reflect on their pros and cons to improve the franchise while staying within established rules ([[Lockdown (ROTF)\|Lockdown]] comments that ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy\|Mystery of Convoy]]'' broke many rules). Starting with ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)\|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'', Optimus and Bumblebee praise the show's unique "living robot" premise, easy to understand [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] factions, enduring popularity and memorable designs for [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]]. They prepare to move on to ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (franchise)\|Transformers 2010]]'' only to be stopped by Lockdown, who points out that they didn't actually reflect on any of the show's faults. For one, if the Autobots and Decepticons are fighting an ancient galaxy-spanning war, why do their battles feature no real strategy? The other two respond that it has to be easy for kids to understand, prompting Lockdown to ask why the premise needed such a large-scale conflict to begin with then. His next complaint is that the designs make it difficult for children to tell who's a good guy and who's a bad guy, since the main difference usually comes down to a small [[insignia]]. Optimus and Bumblebee argue that Autobots mostly have blue eyes and mostly turn into cars while Decepticons mostly turn into fighter jets, but their repeated use of "mostly" does little to convince Lockdown.

			Having identified a problem, the three decide to think of a easy way to identify Autobots and Decepticons. Bumblebee suggests uniforms such as those worn by sports teams, which everyone agrees is a very fashionable idea, even Lockdown, and everyone laughs at how out of character his sudden agreeability is. Optimus's idea is to give everyone verbal tics, such as having Decepticons end their sentences with "-ticon", a suggestion that causes the other two to crack up.
