It's the Sweeps! They're a wacky bunch!
Synopsis
The six identical Sweeps, loyal soldiers of Galvatron, are introduced:
- Sweep No. 1 is their self-styled leader, Scourge, a sleazy sycophant. Waspinator chimes in to point out that his voice sounds like that of Thundercracker.
- Sweep No. 2 is a pessimist who thinks bad things are always happening to him. He sounds like Astrotrain.
- Sweep No. 3 is a selfish, forceful jerk who's always ordering others around. He sounds just like Blast Off.
- Sweep No. 5 is calm and thoughtful, always being deep in thought about something, and disapproves of Scourge being the leader. His voice sounds like Skywarp's.
- Sweep No. 6 is a cheerful fella who likes to shout "six!" a lot and gets along with Sweep No. 7. He's got Superion's voice.
- Sweep No. 7 is a natural airhead with a tendency to gasp for breath even though he doesn't need to breathe. He sounds a bit like Blurr.
Galvatron wonders why there's no Sweep No. 4, and Scourge explains 4 is dead, Galvatron himself having told him to "die with dignity". 4 then appears as a ghost behind Galvatron, scaring him.

Notes
- Presumably, Waspinator's insistence on comparing the Sweeps' voices to those of other characters is done to mark them as specific Sweeps from the Generation 1 cartoon whose voices were performed by those characters' actors. But he's referring to the Japanese version of the show (in which, for example, both Thundercracker and Scourge were voiced by Yutaka Shimaka), so don't hold your breath waiting for us to figure out which ones he's talking about
- Sweep No. 4 represents a Sweep who died in "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3" after being shot by Wheelie and falling into Jupiter's atmosphere. Indeed, Galvatron ordered him to "meet [his] death with dignity" rather than save him.
- Sweep No. 4 shows up as a ghost. This fits into Japanese superstition regarding the number four (四), which can be pronounced as "yon" (よん) or "shi" (し); the latter of which is a homophone of the Japanese word for "death" (死).
