Rook shows off a (literal) celebrity roast.

Synposis

Rook greets his viewers, telling them they'd start off tonight by reporting on strange chrono-energy readings reported from the old-ward, but with all the radiation already being detected, who really cares? Moving on, Rook moves into the entertainment section, as two Decepticon comedians, Dreadwind and Darkwind have been apprehended by security. Live-footage from their execution by smelting pool begins to play, and the Decepticons make one last joke before being melted alive. Rook believes this is one punchline that everyone can enjoy.

Notes

Continuity notes

• The "strange chrono-energy" readings are from Aquarius's slow time bubble, seen in "Reunification: Part 3".

Transformers references

• Dreadwing and Darkwind are repurposed from Robotmasters Smokesniper and Gigant Bomb, respectively.

Real-world references

• Dreadwind and Darkwind's Who's Got The Touch gag routine, aside from referencing the song from The Transformers: The Movie, references Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" comedy routine. Additionally, their slapstick acts reference Laurel and Hardy's various gags.
