Bumblebee consults Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod for their thoughts on the game.
Synopsis
[edit]Bumblebee drives up to tell Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod that Mystery of Convoy has been remade. It turns out the pair already know and Magnus has even already played it a bit. Bumblebee is keen to find out what the original main characters of the game think about the remake as he's only heard mixed opinions, specifically Lockdown's opinion that the game should have been improved for the remake, and Optimus Prime's opinion that it's totally fine for it to be a crappy game as Transformers contains multitudes. Ultra Magnus bursts into tears, much to Bumblebee's surprise. Hot Rod explains he's been traumatized by the term "crappy game" as Magnus has been losing badly at the game and has taken a hit to his self esteem. Bumblebee recalls that the game started a rumor that Magnus was weak, again causing Ultra Magnus to burst out in tears and apologize for his fragility making the game so hard. Bee asserts that it makes the achievement of beating the game all the better when they get to play as Rodimus Prime, though as Hot Rod points out, that does mean also collecting all of the hidden letters which is even more difficult. The discussion just makes Ultra Magnus cry harder, at which point Bumblebee comments that he can see why the Matrix of Leadership chose Hot Rod over him.
Hot Rod notes that the most confusing part is what they "mystery" part of the game's title is supposed to refer to. The trio ponder this for a moment, and Magnus says the mystery is various things you can't talk about when you get older, which just makes Hot Rod and Bumblebee even more curious. Hot Rod ventures that the mystery is that when you go out to a restaurant and order a salad, there's always a mysteriously large amount of salad which you then get full up on. Ultra Magnus is confused and asks if they're eating salad. Hot Rod complains about poorly made salad dressing.
