Episode 43.5, "Distribution," is a comedic special that marks the 500th episode of Transformers in Japan (though, because that count includes various Japanese series, the Western release is still far from reaching this figure). When it aired in Japan, it did not broadcast in Superlink's standard timeslot and is not arranged in any chronological sequence—it shows the Autobots using a video game training simulator, something they clearly would not have time for between episodes 42 and 44.
