The profile for Thunderblast remarks that Autobots would rather shoot at Antillian bumble-puppies than at a beautiful female. Cybertron Thunderblast's toy bio

Jazz reminds Bumblebee that no matter how cool The Fallen may seem, he once shot down a ship filled with Antillian bumble-puppies, and that means he's not an appropriate role model.

Notes

• The presence of bumble-puppies in Transformers fiction is an homage to Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, where the creatures were used by social engineers to properly condition (and brainwash) children.
• The Fallen's cold blooded murder of innocent (And adorable) bumble-puppies continues the running theme in Transformers of villains murdering puppies.
