Quotes

"...did he just call his blaster 'Pal'?"
"Perhaps. Criminals are often eccentric in their speech patterns."
"Yeah, and they talk funny too."

—Blurr gets a complicated explanation from Drift and the Cliff's Notes from Sideswipe.

"Grimlock's got the Sphere, Ugh
Grimlock's got the Sphere, Ugh
Don't know where he's goin'
But he has got the Sphere--
Aah!"

—Grimlock, singing.

"Besides, if you were truly driven by the desire to possess something spectacular, you'd fight over me every day."

—Fixit

Notes

Continuity notes

• While virtually every previously-seen Decepticon was imprisoned and taken off-world by the end of "Decepticon Island (Part 2)", Springload was one of two Decepticons unaccounted for at the end of last season, the other being Kickback. Could the latter still be skittering around on Earth too?
• The research facility in this episode is the same building where the team battled Simacore in "Brainpower".
