Synopsis

[edit]

Part 1

[edit]

Rattrap, Tigatron, Silverbolt, and Rhinox head off to Tokyo Toy Show 2014 to check out TakaraTomy's latest toys, but are embarrassed when they run into Optimus Primal, who is there with his son, Minor, and is wondering what four adults are doing at a toy show. Faced with how unsightly their hobby is, the group is left disheartened except for Rhinox, who, being the oldest and thus seemingly the most pathetic of them all, argues that there's nothing embarrassing about them liking toys. His attempt to back it up by dancing to an Age of Extinction-themed children's song only embarrasses Rattrap further, but the discovery of Masterpiece Star Saber, a toy aimed at adult collectors, cheers them back up again. Seeing this as proof that it's okay for adults to dance, too, Rhinox gets back to it, leaving Rattrap to comment that he's not doing the steps properly.

Part 2

[edit]

Having a look at the Transformers-related activities at the Toy Show, the gang spots Yūki Tai hosting a stage performance and actors dressed up as Animated Optimus Prime and Bumblebee as well as Mach Five Racing Prime (mistaken for Safety Prime). Minor is overjoyed to see Animated characters again, and so is Rattrap, who goes on a long tangent about how he loved the many Beast Wars references in the show. Minor then plays a soccer game with the Optimus Prime actor, scoring a goal and winning an Optimus Prime toy that his dad helps him transform. Seeing father and son play together warms the hearts of Rattrap and the others, and he admits that in the end, Transformers is for the kids.
