The Autobots are stuck in a video game training simulator while the actual war waits outside, and the whole thing exists just to celebrate 500 episodes of Transformers in Japan with zero concern for fitting into the actual story. It's filler that knows it's filler, treats itself like a joke, and swings for pure comedy instead of pretending to matter. A special built for people who just want to watch robots mess around without narrative permission.

The Autobots spend their time playing a video game training simulator in this comedic Transformers Superlink special, numbered as episode 43.5 and titled "Distribution". It was made to mark 500 episodes of Transformers broadcast in Japan, a count that folds in several Japanese series. It aired outside Superlink's regular timeslot and does not fit the show's chronology, since there is no room for such a break between episodes 42 and 44. Expect giant robot action played for laughs.
