Optimus, Bumblebee and Lockdown discuss human expressions.
Synopsis
As Bumblebee continues to lose at Mystery of Convoy Returns and Optimus Prime urges him to keep trying, Lockdown demands they answer his question as to why they have to play a stupidly hard game based on a crappy 30-year old game. Optimus takes offense, ramming Lockdown in vehicle mode and pointing out that the original Mystery of Convoy wasn't a crappy game, it was just an unreasonable game and it sold 61 000 copies at that, a number that doesn't impress the Decepticon. Lockdown also rejects Bumblebee's explanation that the remake was made in celebration of the 30th anniversary, questioning why they didn't just make a new game instead of smearing salt in an open wound. Bumblebee doesn't understand the saying, so Optimus explains that it means "making something bad even worse", although as super robot lifeforms, putting salt on their wounds wouldn't hurt.
The three decide to think of other examples of the saying, and Bumblebee suggests a situation where a bird poops on you, followed by a giant meteor crashing on you. The others find that kind of crisis a bit extreme, and Lockdown instead thinks of a situation where you accidentally text your dad "I love you" instead of your girlfriend, and to top it off your dad responds with "is that so". They get into a discussion about what the proper response would be from the dad's side, and Optimus suggests "I know", a line so cool that it strikes Bumblebee and Lockdown speechless.
