Pipes: Megs, we have an issue with a potential new arr...uh...

Megatron (now Newage Megatron, who is shorter than MP36): Remember last strip where I overspent on our special effects budget? Well, Becka took some of my height to pay the creditors. So this is what I look like now. Pipes: Oh...my...god...

Pipes: I can't believe Becka took your height in the divorce. Megatron: I...what?

Megatron: Pipes, you know I don't know what tumblr memes are and that I refuse to learn. Pipes: That's a Star Trek reference! Megatron: Oh, sorry. Ahem. Pipes, you know I don't know what Star Trek is and that I refuse to learn. Pipes: It's good to know that you're still you inside, Megs.

Megatron: We’re back! And with a budget! Look at my optics! Pipes: I hope you’re just testing those, we don’t really have -

Megatron: This is a bold new era for the Bide-a-Wee, Pipes. Better special effects. Scripts with proper editing. A continuity consultant. My own personal dressing room that you can also use on alternate Wednesdays. Pipes: that’s great, um, Megs, you need to -

Megatron: and I - hey, why did my optics go out? Pipes: You used up three years of our special effects budget in the first two panels.

Megatron: We hope you enjoyed this reference to the 2002 Transformers: Armada cartoon and its animation quality. Pipes: is that what we were doing? Megatron: Sure, why not.
