	''' '''		'''Introducing the Decepticon cast!'''

	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	~~{{episodestub}}~~		Having had [[Laserbeak (G1)\|Laserbeak]] spy on the [[Autobot]]s and [[Lockdown (ROTF)\|Lockdown]], [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]] reports on their discussions to [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]], who makes it the [[Decepticon]]s' mission to attract more new fans than the Autobots can. Starscream doubts their Flash-animated five-minute cartoon will make a difference, but Megatron argues that this easily digestable media format is exactly what they need to reach new fans. [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] adds that the Decepticons have all gotten ''[[Q-Transformers]]'' toys to time with their appearance on the show, and most of them now transform into cars. Starscream asks Soundwave why he turned into a cassette player during a war to begin with, rejecting Megatron's explanation that it let him infiltrate enemy bases with the reasoning that finding a mysterious cassette player in your base is extremely suspicious. He also questions Megatron's own gun mode that was useless without someone else around to wield him, and what was up with both of them having the ability to ''shrink''? The others argue that a giant cassette player and gun would be inconvenient, completely missing Starscream's point, and start talking about Shockwave's laser gun mode back when his name was Laserwave. Starscream's complaints that he's changing between "Laserwave" and "Shockwave" for no reason are cut short by Megatron, who demands they think of ways to earn more fans than the Autobots.

			Drawing on the idea of verbal tics, Starscream suggests ending their sentences with variations of the word "wife" to earn them points among housewives, which he and Shockwave immediately begin doing.
			Megatron suggests appealing to boys with something cute like "nyu" or "nyo", while Soundwave (after [[Nobuhiko Okamoto\|his actor]] is told he's allowed to speak normally) goes for something romantic like "I love you". When Megatron begins combining their ideas, everyone breaks into laughter while discussing the kind of situation where they would all come into play.
