Summary
Megatron receives a surprise visitor; Shockwave reveals how finding the mythical Allspark can help defeat the Autobots. The Decepticons lay a trap.
Our Take
A slower, talkier hour that leans on Decepticon scheming, which mostly works thanks to Shockwave getting room to be genuinely unnerving. The animation still stumbles during action beats, and the trap setup drags a bit in the middle. Fine if you’re already invested, but it won’t win over anyone on the fence.
