Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Quickstrike is put to trial for his betrayal of Megatron, but it is interrupted when the Vok send Tigerhawk, a supernatural fusion of Tigatron and Airazor, to stop Megatron’s interference with time. They do not realize, however, that Megatron has part of his predecessor’s spark within him, thus destroying him would cause another timestorm. Upon his arrival, Tigerhawk destroys the Predacon’s ship. Tarantulas captures Tigerhawk and proceeds to kill his Vok control. The experiment goes fatally wrong however, and Tarantulas is killed. The sparks of Tigatron and Airazor reunite with the body of Tigerhawk and he is welcomed back home to the Maximals.

Our Take

A busy, effects-heavy hour that finally pays off the Vok storyline while giving Tarantulas a memorable exit. Tigerhawk’s arrival looks great and the destruction of the Predacon base feels genuinely consequential, though the trial framing gets dropped almost immediately. The logic around Megatron’s spark is thin, but the spectacle mostly carries it. Worth watching for the character deaths alone.
