Trust Exercises

Animation • TV-Y7 • Directed by: Transformers Robots in Disguise • 22 minutes

Bumblebee tries to build trust between his young charges in order to make a better team, but their immaturity makes the job difficult. Sideswipe and Strongarm in particular have a love-hate relationship, so when two Decepticon alerts come in simultaneously, Bee sends them to check out one while he and Grimlock investigate the other. Sideswipe and Strongarm encounter Steeljaw, a sly ‘Con with designs on turning Earth into a Decepticon homeland, while Bee and Grimlock confront Hammerstrike, a Sharkticon looking to pump oil into the waters off Crown City in order to make it more like his natural habitat. The two pairs of heroes only succeed when they work together, a small step on the road to becoming a formidable team.
