Spike Witwicky, his mind temporarily in the shell of the jury-rigged Autobot X, watched a movie via a television signal routed through Teletraan I. The movie featured the mad Dr Frankenstein trying to create life from dead tissue in defiance of the sage advice from his lab assistant Igor, whom he clearly held in contempt. Upon the creature's animation and subsequent fit of rage, Igor indicated to the doctor that his own earlier warnings had been appropriate and the results of the experiment were unsatisfactory.

Notes

• This Igor, like pretty much all fictional Igors, is based on the hunchbacked lab assistant played by Dwight Frye in the 1931 version of Frankenstein...whose name was Fritz.
