a) Bumblebee NEVER learns from his mistakes. being too fast, loud, stupid, going alone etc, we have seen Bumblebee do it in the past, and then he supposedly "learns" only to do the same thing a few episodes later.
b) they did the tacky "what they were looking for was around the bend" stunt.
c) Bulkhead really being that thick/wanting to be Bumblebee's friends in camp felt forced. Ironhide seemed to be the true thickee of the 5 though.
That's pretty much what I though, bar (c). They should focus on someone like Optimus or Ratchet, who haven't all that many episodes about them. Or, better yet, do an entire episode from the Decepticons POV.
