In my opinion Dumped is Early Transitional Markerbob
And you forgot Welcome to the Chum Bucket

I have corrected my error about not including 'Welcome to the Chum Bucket'.

'Dumped' still looks mid-transitional MarkerBob to me, since SpongeBob's shape is no longer wobbly.
 
I didn't notice this before but damn, in Help Wanted Patrick has his N Eyebrows from season 2. Strange that he doesn't have his M eyebrows from season 1. Oh well, I can understand that, they were still early days.

Every frame was drawn like a sketch artist trying to storyboard a design to go with. Look how messy his eyebrows are in this scene. Plus, they change back to the correct design.

Also, the way Patrick snaps back to the pose of him talking in this scene at around 0:09 is so funny. They were clearly gonna make him do something else here, but they didn't.
 
They didn't have good models at all. They kind of just drew and went with it. You can see many different designs throughout the episode. Would be funny if we named all of them.

Also, this happens to his arm a lot.

Help Wanted looks so primitive. The oldest looking episode in the series. To be expected since it’s the pilot. It looks like it’s from 1993
 
Imagine if Nickelodeon did a thing called markerbob mondays where they did a marathon of markerbob episodes every Monday.
 
If markerbob had never existed, i think these would be the art styles for each episode:

Bossy Boots - Sailornoodle
Big Pink Loser - Sailorcube
Imitation Krabs - Sailornoodle
Life of Crime - Noodlebob
Dumped - Cubebob
I'm Your Biggest Fanatic - Noodlebob
Pressure - Sailorbob
Shanghaied - Cubebob
Welcome to the Chum Bucket - Noodlebob
I'm With Stupid - Cubebob
The Fry Cook Games - Noodlebob
Squid on Strike - Noodlecube
Sandy, Spongebob and the Worm - Cubebob
SpongeGuard on Duty - Cubebob
My Pretty Seahorse - Cubebob
The Bully - Cubebob/Noodlebob
Snowball Effect - Cubebob
One Krabs Trash - Noodlecube
As Seen on TV - Sailornoodle
Can You Spare a Dime - Noodlebob
Squilliam Returns - Noodlebob
Wet Painters - Sailorblatt
Krusty Krab Training Video - Noodlebob
New Student Starfish - Cubebob
Mid-Life Crustacean Sailorbob
Krabby Land - Noodlebob
The Camping Episode - Noodlebob
Missing Identity - Noodlebob
The Sponge Who Could Fly (Walk Cycle) Sailorbob
Party Pooper Pants (Invitation Scene) Noodlebob
Party Pooper Pants (Underwater Sun) Sailorbob
Ugh (Krusty Krab Scene) - Noodlebob
Pranks a Lot - Sailorbob
