Review Time: this is another mixed episode
Storyline: the Autobots storyline for the
majority of this episode is boring it gets better in the closing stages, but
the only thing that keeps this episode going from beginning to end is the
Decepticons in whatever they are doing or saying in this episode, how editing
is done and this reel of film.
Character developments: the Decepticons
are a colossal asset throughout this episode be it Megatron being angry with
his Decepticons [here are three examples; Megatron being verbally or physical
with Starscream and verbally with Rumble.] There is also an Autobot acting out
of character as well [Hoist] this is good as well.
Action sequences: briefly there are
rescue and stunts sequences and a couple of recurring human characters get
dropped into something down below from somewhere high up [this is good,] but if
I had to pick out some things for you to watch out for; Megatron and Starscream
just watch out for these points and on a quick side note without giving too
much away Soundwave has two scenes of action as well either destroying or
locating, between these points these would be the best in this episode.
This episode receives: 5/10, now let's
just say this; if the Decepticons were not in this episode; this episode would
have really, really struggled. I don't know what to say here, because on one
hand it strongly highlights that the Decepticons are either individually or in
different numbers or as a whole are really interesting and engaging characters.
But on the other hand I could see this episode as a waste of the time slot as
it relates to the episode. I think if push came to shove I could justify
keeping this episode just based on what the Decepticons bring to the table in
this episode.
