Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Inferno finds a second Golden Disc, marked with alien runes. Megatron and Optimus supposedly agree to a truce, and Tarantulas is determined to get off Earth.

Our Take

A slow-burn setup hour that mostly works because the tension between Megatron and Tarantulas finally boils over in interesting ways. The truce gives the cast room to breathe and scheme, though the alien disc material can feel like homework. Worth watching for the character work, just don’t expect any action payoff until later.
