    The only person who'd know for sure if it was intended to be a literal comment or an expression, is the author of the episode... if they still remember that far back.

    For now though, it is pretty much accepted by the fandom (and someone at Hasbro it seems), that they are related in a literal sense.

    I also think the great aunt Arcee has always been literal. Rattrap says "What in the name of my great aunt Arcee is going on?" I think that's more like "I swear on the life of my great aunt Arcee" than "Bob's your uncle."

    He said it more than once too didn't he?, I'm sure of it.

    Seems like the sort of thing Ben Yee would know for certain, shy of the Writer/s that is... At any rate, it is cemented now!

    It's not a big deal or anything, just weird. I always considered it a little throwaway line that fans would recognise and think was cool. Y'know like Megatron's "Unicron spawn" line to Tarantu.... oh, right.
