To Catch a Phrase

Plot
Bumblebee's search for a catchphrase continues.

Synopsis
Bumblebee monologues the old phrase "Autobots, roll out!" Though he knows that he is not Optimus Prime, Bumblebee is determined to find a battle cry for himself. He suggests using "Convert and conquer!", but it would not work out as he realizes that he and his team were not on a conquest mission as he tosses this second sheet of paper from his notepad. His third phrase was "Rip it up and ride it out!", which sounded wrong and didn't appeal to him anyway. Bumblebee continuously brainstorms for the passing hours in the day, which during the time he has spent throwing away phrases he rejected and formed two piles of notebook paper. This leaves Bumblebee caught in a stumbling block that makes him question if anything rhymes with orange. That night, Strongarm comes across Bumblebee, who is now bleary-eyed, speaking in rhymes and covered in some of his post-it notes. With concerns for his health, Strongarm takes a post-it note off Bumblebee's face and suggests he takes a break. She then helps Bumblebee stand up walk and he asks her if anything rhymes with orange.

Trivia

 * This short was originally released on Hasbro's Transformers website.
 * There is, in fact, one single word in English that is a full rhyme of "orange": "sporange", a rarely-used shortening of "sporangium", a botanical term. There are some half-rhymes, such as "lozenge", but they're about as useful in a catchphrase as "orange" is in the first place.
 * Bumblebee rejects one potential catchphrase as insulting to Slipstream, potentially placing this short after "One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing".
