Episode Summary & Review
Summary
As an ancient Transformers prophecy is edging close to coming true, Megatron rushes to take matters into his own hands, answering the call of the mysterious Unicron. Thus Optimus Prime finally decides to put an end to Megatron’s evil.
Our Take
A big, noisy climax that mostly earns its scale. The Optimus and Megatron showdown finally delivers after a season of buildup, and the Unicron reveal gives the show a genuine sense of stakes. Some of the prophecy talk is clunky, and the pacing rushes a few emotional beats, but the action and animation carry it. Worth your time if you’ve been along for the ride.
