Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jack, Raf and Miko get trapped in between dimensions, along with the revived body of the fallen Decepticon Skyquake. The Autobots have to figure out a way to save them. The battered and humiliated Starscream meanwhile tries to follow up on his latest scheme to overthrow Megatron.
Our Take
A solid kids-trapped-in-peril episode that leans hard on atmosphere, and the shadow dimension gimmick mostly works. The zombie-Skyquake reveal is genuinely creepy for a show aimed at younger viewers, though the kids’ bickering wears thin fast. The real treat is Starscream scheming from the sidelines, which keeps things moving when the main plot stalls. Worth a watch.
