The Axalon Trading Company sure has wacky policies.

Synopsis

The Transformation Gap

Robot mode is used as "serious adult mode". As such, workers use it while on the job. However, Rattrap does not follow this unwritten rule and instead transforms when he stops working at 5:00, planning to go to Akihabara. This annoys Optimus Primal.

The Gender Gap

Airazor is the office lady at the Axalon Trading Company, who works with the "Bat Aunt Chama" Nightscream. Rattrap thinks that they're cute, but Rhinox points out that their company does not have even one woman working there and leaves Rattrap with his shocked face.

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Notes

  • Airazor is gender ambiguous because she is portrayed male in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, but retains her female gender in the Beast Wars Metals manga; so she was both genders in Japan.
  • Nightscream's odd nickname, "Bat Aunt Chama" (コウモリのおばちゃま Kōmori no Oba Chama) is a reference to Japanese film critic Kazuko Komori (小森和子 Komori Kazuko), whose nickname was Komori no Oba Chama (小森のおばちゃま). His characterization here is based on the dub of Beast Machines, where he is played as a flamboyant gay man with a highly effeminate manner of speaking.
