Lucy, followed by Sari, Bumblebee, and the Trektwins head inside the office while the older bots wait outside. As they looked around the office, Lucy was inspecting the kids drawing on the wall.

The first drawing was of a young boy riding on Bron the dinosaur's back with the words 'my best friend' written on it.

Then, Sari found a drawing of the Poppy Playtime doll, with her name written on the top right, along with the drawing of a poppy flower and a green colored cat. And then she find another one, with Huggy Wuggy on it. Not only that, he was holding hand with a pink, female version of himself with hearts drawn around them.

Trekfire found a drawing of a kid surrounded by toys such as CatBee, Bron, the girl Huggy Wuggy, and a blue colored cat. While Star Tracker found a drawing of a little girl dancing in tutu along with the pink Huggy Wuggy.

"Who's that pink Huggy?" Bumblebee asked, looking at the pink Huggy drawing.

Star Tracker looked at writings on top of the drawing. The word 'Kissy' was pointed at the pink version of Huggy.

"From the looks of it, the pink one was named Kissy." Star Tracker said.

"Huh, well that seems to rhyme. Huggy, Kissy." Bumblebee mumbled.

Lucy look around the desk and saw a dirty, brown VHS tape on it. She picked it up and then head towards the VCR just sitting in the corner of the office. Sari saw this and decided to join her sister. The rosette place the tape in before a video biography starts playing.

"Guys, you gotta come see this." Sari called out, as three of the bots quickly gathered behind her and her sister and watch the video.

Narrator: "Playtime Co. is the product of a great man, by the name of Elliot Ludwig."
Narrator: "Divorced, but a family man at heart, his sights were always set on bringing amazing toys to amazing children around the globe."

"A divorced man who started working as a toy maker, hmm." Lucy thought to herself before she continue in watching the biography video.

Narrator: "Ludwig spent countless hours in the factory, working overtime relentlessly in an attempt to continuously innovate and surprise."
Narrator: "In the 1960's, an unfortunate family death had pushed Ludwig down to his lowest."

"Oh, dear. Poor guy." Star Tracker said in sympathy.

Narrator: "But with so much ambition, he rose back up and continued to fulfill his vision for the Playtime Co. toy factory."
Narrator: "Ludwig could never be content leaving a project unfinished, but just how did one man come to create such an astounding empire?"
Narrator: "How did he manage to stay determined, even after suffering such a tragic loss?"
Narrator: "It all began in the faithful year of 19-"
(The tape is cut out by static.)

"Aw, man, this isn't fair. Everytime when we're closer in finding a clue, it'll eventually disappeared without a warning." Trekfire whined in disappointment.

"Don't worry, Trek. I'm sure we can still find more clues around here." Lucy reassured, before she landed her eyes on a paper seen on Elliot Ludwig's work desk.

"..." The rosette immediately went over to the desk, took the paper and start reading it out loud. But soon regret it after finding some disturbing information on the yellow paper.
