Grimlock likes playing fetch!

Synopsis

We see an apparently determined Bulkhead staring ahead of him, the hot sun beating down on his large frame. His hand then reaches forward for a large tree, which he promptly flings to the horizon.

Soon a huge, lumbering figure stomps its way towards the airborne tree, and, with a mighty leap, catches the wayward flora with his massive jaws.

Resting the tree at Bulkhead's feet, Grimlock looks up, stares down Bulkhead, and then declares: "Me Grimlock like fetch! Let's play again!" A puzzled Bulkhead scratches his head as an eager Grimlock wags his tail.

Wait. What?

• The tree that Grimlock rests at Bulkhead's feet vanishes in the final scene. Perhaps that's what's puzzling Bulkhead?

Transformers references

• Though these shorts are deviations from the actual plot and therefore not truly in-continuity with the main cartoon, this episode does raise an interesting question... why is Grimlock so eager to play pet to Bulkhead when he declares "DINOBOTS NOT PETS!" and ousts Snarl as a traitor in another episode for acting the same way?
