Raf's Notes

Raf's Notes are a diary series of documents from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"Dear Diary. I can't shake the feeling the Decepticons are spying on me somehow."

Since becoming involved with the Autobots, Raf Esquivel has felt compelled to start keeping a series of documents on his laptop which he has entitled Raf's Notes. For safety's sake, he keeps them triple-encrypted. It's important to note that these are not a diary of any kind. Diaries are for girls.

Entries

#1: This Is NOT a Diary!

An introduction to the Autobots and Decepticons, how Raf was friends with Bumblebee, and how he was covering for his time at the Autobot base.

#2: The Bigger They Are....

Now Megatron was dead, the kids could work on their science projects with the help of the Autobots. Meanwhile Optimus Prime and Bumblebee had a fight with Skyquake that Raf wished he saw.

#3: Scraplets Scare!

Bulkhead and Bumblebee brought a big pod back from the Arctic, and then Raf found a cute little bot that was like a friendly dog. But then it attacked Bumblebee and Raf had to kill it with a pipe. And then there were HUNDREDS of them and the kids had to fix an Energon pipe to get the GroundBridge working.

#4: Don't Judge a Bot by Its Cover

One of Bulkhead's old friends came to visit, and they had a party. Miko's guitar playing seemed to be getting better, and Raf showed Bumblebee how to do the Robot. But Bulkhead said Wheeljack wasn't acting like himself and they realized they had a REAL LIVE CON in the base. Then the real Wheeljack came back and they had another party before he left for reals. Everyone was bummed.

#5: One Laptop, Over Easy

The Autobots helped Fowler transport the Dingus, and Raf's laptop got fried in a hacking incident, so Ratchet helped him fix it.

#6: Breaking and Energon

The kids broke into a museum to steal an Energon Harvester, but it was for a good reason, honest!

#7: Playing the Race Car

Raf let Bee help Jack impress some girl and they all got in trouble with Optimus.

#8: Bugging Out

Jack and Arcee had an encounter with Airachnid in the woods, and now Arcee's all quiet.

Notes

• Raf's Notes are a special feature provided on The Hub's website as an addendum to the cartoon.
• Shortly after entries 3 and 4 went up, that section of the site broke and was delinked from the rest of the site for a while. Though it has since been relinked, it hasn't been updated since.
• Throughout Transformers history, only once before has a diary journal diary been used as a storytelling element. This was in The Transformers cartoon, in which Spike kept a diary. Much like Raf's Notes, Spike's diary was also ditched after the first few episodes.
