The Agenda (Part 1)

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The Tripredacus Council is hit by the explosion caused by the destruction of the alien device in “Other Voices”, and they recognize the signal as being from Megatron’s ship. After blocking the wave from reaching the Maximals, they send a covert operative to capture Megatron. The agent turns out to be ex-Decepticon Ravage, who makes an alliance with the Maximals in order to capture Megatron.

Our Take

This is where the show gets serious about its larger mythology, and the arrival of Ravage gives longtime fans a genuine jolt of G1 continuity. It’s mostly table-setting for the three-parter to come, but the Tripredacus Council scenes and the shifting alliances give it real weight. Slow in spots, but the tension keeps building. Worth it for where this story is clearly headed.
