Blackarachnia has plans... for Wasp!

Synopsis

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Quotes

Bumblebee: Hate to say it, but Sentinel's got a point. I'd feel a lot safer with Wasp behind bars.
Optimus: That's not your call to make, Bumblebee.
Sentinel: It's not your decision either, Optimus. I'm in command.
Optimus: On Cybertron. This is my jurisdiction, Sentinel.
Sentinel: This is a Cybertronian fugitive, and I'll enforce my authority as the...the uh...primer Prime!
Optimus: Did you just make that up?!
Sentinel: No!
Optimus: There's no such thing as a Primer Prime!
Sentinel: It's a real term. Look it up.
Optimus: I'm not gonna look it up!

—Optimus and Sentinel engage in what can be politely described as a pissing contest.

Real-world references

  • When Blackarachnia presses some buttons on her computer, they sound the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
  • The transwarp experimentation chambers look and function exactly like the telepods from David Cronenberg's The Fly.

Trivia

  • That's now four episodes in a row without a single mention of Sari. C'mon, guys, just a little thought isn't that hard to do...
  • The rat near the ending may be really big, or really close.
  • OK, we all know that it's first and foremost a huge, gratuitous, fan-service, here, but what are a rat, a rhinoceros, a gorilla and a cheetah doing together, seriously ?
  • Is it really gratuitous fan-service?
