Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The Maximals and Predacons battle for control of the floating island. But Blackarachnia gets it, and plans to use it for her own agenda.

Our Take

The island arc wraps up with a lot of shooting and not much surprise, though Blackarachnia’s double-crossing keeps things lively when the battles start to blur together. The ending gets surprisingly grim for a kids’ show, which counts for something. Fine Saturday morning fun, but it mostly exists to blow up a cool location. Worth it if you liked part one.
