	* We'd be remiss if we didn't at least touch on the big meta-joke here: Bumblebee is one of the most prominent Transformers in the franchise, and the concept of an entire alien race infatuated with the little yellow guy seems like a wink at Bumblebee's meteoric rise to fame as the star of the [[Transformers (film)\|first live-action film]] and his high levels of popularity since then, headlining multiple comics, movies, and television shows, while Cliffjumper's status as a forgettable nobody seems like a bit of a jab at how he's, well, not achieved anything close to Bumblebee's success. The Probats mistaking him for Bumblebee also references the fact that most Cliffjumper toys use variations of a Bumblebee mold.		* We'd be remiss if we didn't at least touch on the big meta-joke here: Bumblebee is one of the most prominent Transformers in the franchise, and the concept of an entire alien race infatuated with the little yellow guy seems like a wink at Bumblebee's meteoric rise to fame as the star of the [[Transformers (film)\|first live-action film]] and his high levels of popularity since then, headlining multiple comics, movies, and television shows, while Cliffjumper's status as a forgettable nobody seems like a bit of a jab at how he's, well, not achieved anything close to Bumblebee's success.

	On the bleak world of [[Probat (planet)\|Probat]], a pair of recently-arrived Cybertronians make their way to the elevator that will take them down from the planet's spaceport into the settlement below. But while Ambassador [[Deathsaurus (~~Victory~~)\|Deathsaurus]] has visited the planet many times as part of his routine [[energon]]-collecting duties for the [[Senate]], it's [[Cliffjumper (G1)\|Cliffjumper]]'s first time on Probat... although, oblivious to the awed whispers of the native [[Probat (species)\|Probat]]s in the elevator down, he's puzzled as to ''why'' the cold, brusque ambassador, who can't even keep Cliffjumper's name straight, brought him along on this particular assignment. Deathsaurus doesn't answer right away; the moment he opens the doors to the Probat city beyond, however, Cliffjumper gawps at the sight of hundreds of bat-like citizens lining the road to the city's [[energon]] refinery. Foreman [[Natalus]] leads this strange congregation and joyfully announces that their "savior" has returned—their savior, ''[[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]]''!

	Correctly anticipating Cliffjumper's confusion, Deathsaurus grabs his fellow Cybertronian and whispers for him to play along: the Probats "see" with echolocation, and can't distinguish color, but Cliffjumper has no time to process this before he's shoved into the crowd and beset by his adoring fans. Pleased with the festivities, Natalus watches from a distance, but Deathsaurus has no time for these pleasantries: ''he''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s more concerned with picking up his regularly scheduled energon allocation and returning to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]].

	Still puzzled by his apparent popularity, Cliff quickly deduces that Bumblebee is a hero to the Probats, adored for helping to "uplift" their race and helping to install the city's energon refinery. Indeed, the Probat claim that Bumblebee even appointed Natalus as their leader; out of respect, all other Probat deliberately mutilate their wings and render themselves flightless in reverence to Natalus. Finally, Cliffjumper realizes that this is just the latest in a series of frustrating misunderstandings: in his humble job as a sanitation engineer on Cybertron, ''everyone'' mistakes him for his more popular yellow lookalike. Before he can correct his fans, however, the Probats abruptly hustle him off to their homespire to continue the celebration. Deathsaurus and Natalus watch as the riff-raff disperse, and the Probat leader invites Deathsaurus back to his own spire for a feast; Deathsaurus, however, demands that Natalus take him to the energon refinery immediately so that he can inspect the shipment.

	The towering roost that is a Probat homespire is home to dozens of Probat, but Cliffjumper's discomfort in the lightless environment prompt the Probats to build a fire for his benefit, igniting a portion of the mysterious, highly-reactive "substance" that lines the spire floor. Intrigued, Cliffjumper asks just what this substance ''is'', and in response the Probats recount a portion of their creation myth. Long ago, his host explains, the Probats were helpless cave-dwellers until the substance changed their bodies, giving them the power to fly and echolocate. Eventually, the Probats ~~incorprated~~ this miraculous element into every aspect of their lives—but when Cliffjumper asks just what this substance is, he's a little disturbed when the storyteller explains that the substance comes from ''them'', the Probats themselves! Although slightly disgusted by this revelation, Cliffjumper learns that the Probats have learned to farm their own waste, carefully harvesting only that which they need to survive and shipping the excess guano to Natalus for further "refinement". No sooner does Cliff asks what ''that'' entails, however, before the fire burns out and the cavern is illuminated by a strange, purple glow...

	In the Cybertronian outpost, Natalus and Deathsaurus make their way towards the shipment of energon bound for Cybertron. Still oblivious to Deathsaurus's ruse, Natalus praises Deathsaurus for bringing "Bumblebee" back to their planet, but points out that the most recent growing season has been unsatisfactory as he shows Deathsaurus the shipment: a shipment far below Probat's expected quota of [[energon cube]]s. Deathsaurus doesn't buy Natalus's story for an instant, however, and immediately smashes a nearby wall to reveal a hidden energon stockpile—proof that his trading partner has been lying to him.
