In an effort to bond with Hashtag, Twitch takes her younger sister out to town to choose an alt-mode. However, things escalate when Hashtag scans and transforms into a G.H.O.S.T. truck, then gets driven to G.H.O.S.T.'s Decepticon prison by the original truck's agents.
Tropes:
- Achievements in Ignorance: Despite having no idea what she's doing (at least at first), Hashtag not only manages to hack G.H.O.S.T.'s entire network, she also no-sells their attempt to remote-control her alt-mode and causes a prison riot by opening several cells.
- Aloof Big Sister: Executive Agent Croft acts cold and authoritative toward her younger brother agent Schloder, addressing him like he's merely one of her agents, instead of a family member. The one time she calls him her little brother she does it in an extremely condescending tone.
- Call-Back: Starscream, Hardtop, Skullcruncher, and Soundwave are seen in G.H.O.S.T.'s prison. The latter three take an active part in the prison riot.
- Cool Big Sibling: Thrash and Twitch try to be this to their younger Terran siblings. Twitch tries to get Hashtag excited for an alt-mode (with mixed to disastrous results) while Thrash attempts to bond with Nightshade. Their efforts are rewarded in the end, when both Hashtag and Nightshade openly state that they look up to their older brother and sister.
- A Day in the Limelight: After her introduction in the previous episode, Hashtag is the character who gets the most focus in this episode.
- Disability Immunity: During the riot, a G.H.O.S.T. agent attempts to subdue Hardtop by shooting a pair of cuffs at him. Since Hardtop is still missing an arm, this proves to be ineffective.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Starscream is furious about G.H.O.S.T. experimenting on Skullcruncher, even giving a Death Glare toward one of the security cameras when his fellow Decepticon breaks down from the strain.
- How Do I Shot Web?: Hashtag at first has no clue how to use her alt-mode bestowed powers, she's more or less just panicking and pressing buttons.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The episode has its name for a reason. First Hashtag scans a G.H.O.S.T. truck for her alt-mode, leading to her getting basically kidnapped to G.H.O.S.T.'s prison, then she inadvertently hacks into their network causing all sorts of trouble and just to put the cherry on top, she ends up deactivating the anti-energon fields in several of the detention cells, leading to a prison riot.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Twitch freaks out when she sees that Hashtag scanned a G.H.O.S.T. truck of all things for an altmode.
- Bumblebee's reaction when he sees him, Twitch and Hashtag chose to hide in the same corner of G.H.O.S.T.'s prison as Skullcruncher.
- Phoneaholic Teenager: Hashtag acts like a Terran version of this. In fact, Twitch only gets her to agree to scan an alt-mode by pointing out that the sooner she does, the faster she can get back to the Malto farm and their wi-fi signal.
- Shout-Out: Hashtag says "All your base are belonging to us!" while hacking G.H.O.S.T.'s security network, this time intentionally.
- Van in Black: Purple, really, but Hashtag ends up choosing a G.H.O.S.T. truck for her alt-mode. Disaster ensues.
