| '''The Autobots try to scare up some attention by making a horror video.'''
| |
| | |
| ==Synopsis==
| |
| After seeing the attention the [[Decepticon]]s' last video received, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] decides the [[Autobot]]s could make an even better one. Everyone except [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] is stumped on coming up with a video idea, who suggests a horror video. [[Teletraan I]] suddenly activates, startling everyone, and begins playing the movie ''[[Bird Box]]''. [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] watch huddling together while [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] take swings at each other while blindfolded. Noticing Optimus is engrossed in the movie, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] decides to give him a scare by touching him. Optimus jumps from his chair in fright, then gives Ultra Magnus an angry glare.

| ''Sideswipe slowly walks down a darkened hallway, looking about apprehensively. Behind him, two blurry shapes scuttle out of sight just before Sideswipe turns to look. Not seeing anything, he grows scared and begins moving quicker. As he steps past a door, it opens with a creak. Peering in, a large shape moves through the room as it darkens, and a low, ominous [[Transformation#The noise|noise]] is heard. Lightning flashes and a [[ghost|shadowy image]] of a woman appears for a moment before the door slams shut.''
| |
| | |
| ''Now in a panic, Sideswipe dashes into a room at the end of the hall, and hides in a wardrobe. Hearing a knock at the door, he slowly peers out to see the door to the room is open. Suddenly Ultra Magnus slides in front of him, eyes glowing red and head spinning around. Ultra Magnus then reaches out and tags Sideswipe before running away. Sideswipe catches his breath, before looking up, eyes now red and head spinning around.''
| |
| | |
| In the Decepticon headquarters, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] all shiver in fear watching the Autobot horror movie while [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] sits blindfolded. As the music swells, [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] becomes so terrified he jumps and accidentally shoots the screen. He hides his gun and looks about sheepishly as the others glare at him.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * The short was initially released via the Netflix Japan Anime account on Twitter in September 2020, though this has since been deleted, followed by releases on Counter656's YouTube channel in November and the English Netflix Anime YouTube channel in December.
| |
| * [[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]] and the [[smart speaker]] can be seen in the background in one shot during the recap of the last episode.
| |
| * As with other Netflix stop motions, [[Transformers: BotBots (franchise)|BotBots]] appear in both the Autobot and Decepticon bases as props. For the Autobots, we see [[Bogus Pocus]] and [[Professor Wellread]] on the bookshelf behind Optimus. [[Greeny Rex]] and [[Smerg the Sad]] are on the side wall of the room and [[Game Over]] is seen on a shelf at the back of the room. Finally [[Brotato]], [[Duderoni]], [[Hawt Diggity]], [[Shredder Jack]], [[Sippyberry]], [[The Fizz]], and [[Twerple Burple]] are on the table as snacks. In the Decepticon base, [[Angry Cheese]], [[Burrito Favorito]], [[Carb O'Nate]], Duderoni, two Hawt Diggitys, [[S'up Dawg]], [[Sippy Slurps]], [[Spud Muffin]], [[The Vengeful Terror-Yaki]], and Twerple Burple are on the table as snacks. In the final shot, [[Arctic Guzzlerush]] and [[Kikmee]] can be seen behind Soundwave while [[Rootwing]] is behind Astrotrain.
| |
| **[[Ranger Lampton]] can also be seen in the recap from the previous episode.
| |
| **Two unidentified BotBots were also used as the blurry shapes moving behind Sideswipe in the horror video. However, they're so out of focus it's nearly impossible to tell which ones.

| ===Transformers references===
| |
| * As with the other videos in the series, a large picture of [[Cybertron (planet)#Aligned continuity family|Cybertron]], as seen in the [[Darkness Rising, Part 1|first episode]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'', can be seen on the wall in Autobot headquarters.
| |
| | |
| ===Real-world references===
| |
| * ''{{w|Bird Box (film)|Bird Box}}'' was a [[Netflix]] exclusive horror movie that premiered on [[December 21]], 2018. A major plot point in the film involves the characters needing to remain blindfolded for protection, which is why Sidesipe, Hound and Mirage all sport blindfolds through the video.
| |
| * When Teletraan I turns on, everyone reacts with exclamation marks suddenly appearing over their heads, accompanied by a horn-like noise, in reference to the ''[[Solid Snake|Metal Gear]]'' video game series.
