Shows You Should Be Watching
Honest reviews. Zero hype.
Our Take A solid season opener that mostly coasts on the Optimus Prime nostalgia of having him back on the team, though the friction between him and Bumblebee’s leadership actually gives it some bite. The new Decepticon threat feels like…
Our Take A decent enough wrap-up that mostly just ties up the Megatronus fight without much flair. The action moves fast and the team gets a few good moments, but the villain goes out with a whimper after all that…

Summary When a Decepticon Gladiator and his cheating Manager enter a human Demolition Derby, Grimlock, Denny and Fixit pose a competitors. Our Take Middle of the road. Watchable, but you’ll forget the details by next episode.
Summary Unaware that Grimlock is covering up a serious injury, Bee and the Team head to the ocean floor in pursuit of an escaped Decepticon. Our Take A decent underwater outing that leans on Grimlock hiding his injury a bit…
