Extended summary

Everyone is relaxing... well, Optimus Primal is worrying, Blackarachnia (BW) is reclining, Rattrap is fiddling with a bit of computer stuff, and Nightscream is... okay, sleeping. Suddenly plants spring up around everywhere, and Nightscream wakes up with an alarmed squeak. Thrust bursts in, and attacks Nightscream. Ouch. Blackarachnia webs him, and hears a groan of "why wa-I mean thrust always get hurt?" he crawls away, and it dawns on Blackarachnia who he really is.

Notes

Technical/Animation Glitches

  • Glitch

Continuity Errors

  • Silverbolt and Waspinator seem unaware that they are in Vehicon bodies with drones at their command. This is odd, considering that Rhinox was fully aware (or so he claims) within the body of Tankor, and even more so when Silverbolt feels guilt when he finally returns to the Maximal fold (although these can both be chalked up to the Maximals tampering with their respective programming). Even a few seconds before Waspinator acts oblivious to his command over the drones, he confesses "Chicks dig the cool biker-bot!", acknowledging his role as Thrust. Huh?

Transformers References

  • Silverbolt and Waspinator's Beast Wars personalities emerge in this episode, albeit for a few minutes.
