Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Depth Charge, a Maximal from Colony Omicron, arrives on planet Earth looking for Protoform X, wanting revenge on Rampage for killing his comrades long ago. Depth Charge’s frustration alienates him from the other Maximals.

Our Take

Depth Charge makes a solid first impression, all scowling intensity and personal baggage, and his grudge against Rampage gives the season a dark thread worth pulling. The rest of the Maximals mostly stand around being annoyed by him, though, so the episode leans hard on one brooding newcomer. Worth it for the setup, just don’t expect much else happening.
