[Heatwave] Hoist. Report to my office.

Uh-oh! What'd you do, Hoist?

Recycle trash? Yup, did that.

Oil GroundBridge ring tracks? Did that too.

Raise the Academy flag...

I forgot to raise the flag!

[mocking] Oh no. Not... the... flag?

Whoa!

Hoist, that's not a big deal!

And it might not even be that!

-Hmmm. -What?

C'mon, he knows I'm joking!

Ah, Hoist. That was fast.

The reason I called you here is--

I'm so sorry, sir. I promise it won't happen again!

Um, what won't happen again?

Nothing! Hehe, only, uh, if anything does happen...

in the future... I want to apologize... in advance.

Okaaay. Now.

I need a responsible recruit to take care of this.

-Hmm? -Inside is new high-tech rescue

equipment that needs testing.

[dramatic music plays]

Whoa! That's-- What is it?

-[alarm sounds] -Agh!

It's overloading my audio receptors!

This is a Virtual Sonic Fence.

A harmless safety-barrier that uses sound as a deterrent.

It's a one of a kind prototype and I'm putting you

-in charge of it. -Me? Really?

This VSF is so top-secret,

it can only be opened with the keypad.

So, you'll need to memorize the five-digit security code.

Five digits, sir. Got it.

You'll only get three tries to get it right.

After that the VSF will lock for good and I'll have to reset it!

And I'd rather not do that.

So. Watch closely.

[keypad beeps]

Now you.

[electronic voice] Incorrect. Two attempts remain.

Argh! Sorry! Sorry!

Ah, before you try again...

Stop for a moment.

Pause and take a deep breath.

Uh, but bots don't breathe, sir.

[frustrated] It's not about the-- Grrr.

Take a moment, calm down and focus.

Trust me, it'll help.

♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum ♪

[triumphant music plays]

Nicely done, Recruit.

Wow, Hoist! Congrats!

You're in charge of a backpack!

-Cool! -Thanks Whirl!

But it's what's inside that's important.

A prototype Virtual Sonic Fence!

It's super top secret, but Heatwave gave me the code!

Watch! ♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

-What are you doing? -It's how I remember the code.

♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

Hey, it's the same song!

-Whoa! -Intriguing!

Heatwave says we can test it out when we finish our chores!

Can't wait to see it in action!

[monotone] ♪ Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh! ♪

Um, keep practicing, Medix.

Why? I sang it just like you all did, didn't I?

[all] ♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

Ugh! I can't get this song out of my head.

Huh? What did you say Wedge? I was too busy singing.

Recruits, this Sim is the first ever to try out our new tech.

So your full concentration is required.

-Hoist, you ready? -♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

I mean, yes sir!

-[Wedge] Hot sh*t! -What? Oh, uh, sorry, yeah--

Uh, I got a visual on the...

sea unicorns?

-Narwhals! -That's what I said.

They're chasing some fish, so don't worry,

-They're not coming your way. -[Wedge] Keep us posted

if anything changes. We have to keep them away

-from this oil rig. -Got it.

-I wasn't singing! -You were.

It just happens without us knowing we're doing it.

[Hot sh*t] Here fish-- ohhh that's not good.

[bickering]

[Hot sh*t] Uh, guys? Guys!

The narwhals are coming!

Quick! We need to deploy the Sonic Wall right now!

We can't let the narwhals near the rig!

-They could get hurt! -♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

Hurry, Hoist!

Too late.

[computer voice] Mission failed.

What happened?

It was that song, it broke our concentration.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Hoist.

-I didn't force you to sing it! -[Heatwave] Enough!

If this had been a real mission, it would have been a disaster.

Figure. This. Out.

I've never seen Heatwave so mad.

How do we fix our focus problem?

There's only one way.

We have to all promise never to hum,

sing or even think that tune again.

-Deal? -[all] Deal!

-♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪ -[knocking]

♪♪

[monotone] ♪ Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh ♪

[clears throat] Ahem!

[humming]

Hot sh*t.

Was I humming it just now?

Oh. Sorry guys, it's just so hard not to.

I know, it's all I can hear!

It's buzzing in my brain like an Insecticon!

New plan! If we fill our audio receptors with other songs,

it might just knock this one out of our heads.

[upbeat melody plays]

♪♪

[sighs]

-Hey it worked! -I can't even remember

-that annoying song. -Me neither!

We're cured!

[siren wails]

Time for an off-planet mission.

You're going to planet Herboo.

A Karknoid Beetle is threatening a local town.

It can't hurt us, but it's a real danger

to the Herboovians who live there. Of course,

neither Karknoid nor Herboovians must be harmed.

I'll be monitoring your mission from here.

If things get out of hand, I'll step right in. But--

-We got this, sir! -Then Rescue Bot Recruits,

roll to the rescue!

Welcome to Herboo, everyone.

There's the settlement.

-What's the plan? -Who needs a plan?

The Karknoid's a beetle, right?

We just pick it up and move it away.

[thud]

[gasp]

Uh, I don't think picking that thing up's gonna be an option!

[screech]

Maybe we could, uh, scare it away?

What's scarier than that?

We've got the answer right here!

The Virtual Sonic Fence!

Of course. Beetles are sensitive to sound waves!

And nothing gets hurt!

Yeah! Let's do this Hoist!

Hoist?

Sonic Fence? Hellooo?

Uh, what was that song?

"Dum, dee, doo, dee, daa?"

Wait. You forgot the code?

Here, tap this in, Hoist.

♪ Dum, doo, dum, dee, dum! ♪

[electronic voice] Incorrect. Two attempts remain.

-Oh no! -Don't panic.

Thankfully, I did the logical thing and wrote the song down.

It goes...

[monotone] ♪ Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh ♪

[electronic voice] Incorrect. One attempt remains.

Only one more try before it locks for good.

Ugh, I never should have made myself forget that song!

[roaring]

Hoist, we'll stall the beetle, you figure the code out.

-C'mon! -Right behind you, Whirl.

Hey, big guy! Wanna play?

This should slow him down.

[thud]

Or not. Hurry, Hoist.

That bloated bug'll be breathing down your neck any second now!

Wait.

Breathing! That's it!

Everyone, get into bot mode and gather around me.

Now stop and take a deep breath.

Cybertronians technically don't--

Shhhh. Just do what I do.

Clears your head, right?

-[all] Yes! It does! -A most pleasant experience.

You'd never know we were about to be crushed by a -ton roach.

-Wha--? -Now, what was that song?

[all] ♪ Dum, dee, duh, doo, dum! ♪

-[thud] -Now, Hoist!

[snarling]

-Hoist, you did it! -[cheering]

No. We did it!

-[grumble] -Hey, do you hear that?

[humming and grumbling]

[Hot sh*t] It's our song!

-[laughter] -Are you sure that's our tune?

Sounds flat to me!
