Synopsis
Bumblebee sees Arcee zap Soundwave in the head, and the fatigued little Autobot wants to know how she can maintain such vigor and high spirits even after a long day of fighting Decepticons. Arcee transforms into her bike mode and says that she'll show him how she does it. He hops on and they ride off into a day of adventures, including having a pool party, getting a car wash, and stuffing themselves with tasty treats. As it gets late, Bumblebee wonders about heading back home, but then Arcee shows him that she's been texting and planning the most important adventure of all: singing and dancing your heart out like a star in karaoke! Bumblebee has an absolute blast.
However, the next morning, while Arcee is up and raring to do it all again, Bumblebee is about to collapse from exhaustion, and concludes that the secret of keeping such high spirits must be different for everyone.

Notes
- This comic was published in the July/August/September 2023 issue of TV Magazine and advertised the Rise of the Beasts Battle Changer Optimus Prime and Battle Master Cheetor figures.
Transformers references
- Arcee debuts this issue with notably the comic's first ground-up all new character design! As part of the comic's ongoing initiative to promote the contemporaneous film Rise of the Beasts, author Haruka Oda breaks with her usual toy-accurate style to produce a Generation 1 Arcee informed by her growth over the past fortyish years: heavily influenced by her Rise of the Beasts incarnation, with additional robot-mode flourishes pulled from her Bumblebee design and a characterization informed by Cyberverse Arcee.[1]
