Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- Bumblebee rejects one potential catchphrase as insulting to Slipstream, potentially placing this after "One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing". Going forward, we're just going to assume these shorts happen semi-chronologically following that episode.

Trivia
[edit]- This short was originally released on Hasbro's Transformers website.
- There is, in fact, one single word in English that is a full rhyme of "orange": "sporange", a rarely-used shortening of "sporangium", a botanical term. There are some half-rhymes, such as "lozenge", but they're about as useful in a catchphrase as "orange" is in the first place.
- The obvious question here is, what exactly was Bumblebee's catchphrase that required a rhyme for "orange"?
