Bumbleebee's search for a nickname continues.
Synopsis
"Autobots, Roll Out!", Bumblebee monologues. He knows that he isn't Optimus Prime, but he is determined to find a call to action that he can master for himself. "Convert and Conquer!" His group isn't on a conquest mission, he realizes as the tosses the second sheet of paper from his notepad. "Rip it Up and Ride it Out!" doesn't sound right at all. He continues his brainstorming session through the daytime hours, rejecting various phrases in his head. After creating two mountains of notebook paper, he is caught on a stumbling block: Does anything rhyme with orange? At nighttime, Strongarm approaches a bleary-eyed and post-it note covered Bumblebee with concerns about his health, which he responds to in the form of rhyming couplets. As Strongarm motions him to take a break, Bumbleebee is still unable to find a rhyme for orange.
