The little figurines that were made to look like the bots were indeed adorable, but what wasn't adorable was them was when they were being tiny theives.
Even after that was over, the bots actually got to take a moment to appreciate to how the little figurines look. Apparently, they all realized that the bots started staring at them too long and were heading downhill.
It got to a point that all the bots were physically and emotionally affected because the little bot figurines certainly weren't exact replica of themselves, but they sort of took it too far in a way.
Cody and Graham had to blow up those figurines faster than Chase can drive down a highway chasing down a car.
