* Waspinator: *NOT TWO BEEZZZ! Wazzzpinaotr and Scorponok! Don't you know?*
* Tantrum: *Is that a question? I can't keep track of every bug wandering in and out of here.*

* Scorponok: *Same thing we were trying to make the other month, we need a Space Bridge!*
* Optimus Primal: *None of the materials you are carrying could possibly make a bridge, space or otherwise.*
* Waspinator: *Enough partzzz and we would have figured it out!*
