Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The psychotic Protoform X crashes on Earth and attacks Maximal and Predacon alike. Eventually, Megatron removes his Spark, using it to blackmail him into joining the Predacons under a new name: Rampage. During this time, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia begin a relationship.
Our Take
A surprisingly dark hour for this show, and the horror vibe mostly works, with Rampage coming across as genuinely unsettling rather than just another heavy. The Silverbolt and Blackarachnia stuff is sappier and slows things down, though it sets up something interesting. Worth a watch for the villain alone, even if the romance bits test your patience.
