Everyone decided to play an escalating game of:

• "Any Decepticons, come out!"
• "I... Ironhide?"
• "Rodimus?"
• "Sunstreaker?!"
• "Wait... did you say "Matrix"?"
• "Is that Wheelie?"
• "Is that an Insecticon?"

(Bob wins the game.)

Later Sunstreaker (G1) explained how he found Bob wandering all alone without his Swarm and trained him to sniff out other Swarm for them. While Sunstreaker explained this, Bob wriggled down and took a happy good-dog nap, it was adorable.
