Synopsis
It's Optimus Prime’s birthday, but Bumblebee doesn’t know what kind of gift he’d like! Bumblebee nearly gets devoured by Wheeljack’s carnivorous plant, Grimlock’s appetite gets the better of him and he winds up eating his own energon cube, and Jazz suggests writing a song. Ratchet provides some sensible advice—it’s the thought behind the gift that really counts. Although Bumblebee doesn’t go with Ratchet’s suggestion of “nutrition juice”, he does wind up baking an enormous, Optimus Prime-shaped cake for all of the Autobots to enjoy.

Notes
- This comic was published in the February/March 2022 issue of TV Magazine and advertised the War for Cybertron Trilogy Sparkless Seeker.
- It was re-run as the second April 2022 issue of the bi-monthly web comic, now advertising Premium Finish PF WFC-01 Optimus Prime and PFSS-01 Bumblebee, the same toys passing the squint test for our heroes as all the way back in issue 1.
- This issue was published a yet third time in the first collected edition of Transformers Go! Go!, after which Kodansha subsequently took the rather cynical step of replacing its page on the TV Magazine website with a redirect to an issue advertising the physical release.
Transformers references
- Wheeljack's "carnivorous plant" is a Morphobot, a plant-like robotic pest that appeared in the The Transformers episode "Quest for Survival".
