Teletraan II played back thebattle between Metroplex and Trypticonseveral times over forGrimlock's amusement. When a request was made of Teletraan II to show the moment whenMetroplexfinishedTrypticon"forever," the computer informed theAutobotsthat such was impossible, as that had never happened. Thus did the Autobots learn that Trypticon had not actually been destroyed, as they had previously believed to be the case. Thanks for waiting to tell them thatafterTrypticon had left.Thief in the Night

Notes

• While it was assumed for years Teletraan II was largely devised to cover the departure ofCasey Kasemfrom the show, the voice actor call sheet for "Chaos"shows that Kasem was initially cast as and recorded for Teletraan II in that episode, only for his lines to be replaced in the final edit following his departure.
• The computer also helpfully informed viewers of many facts about characters and concepts in the series at theend of several episodes.
• As with Teletraan I, the proper spelling of "Teletraan II" is somewhat unclear. Because the medium in which it was presented is not a written one, fans have long spelled it with an intuitive single "a". This is supported by Teletraan II's model sheet, but episode scripts spell it with two "a" s.^[1]This wiki resolves the question by maintaining consistency with "Teletraan I"; for more information on that, seeTeletraan I.

Foreign names
