Summary
The newly formed team of Autobots must stop Shockwave from destroying all life on the planet.
Our Take
A decent action episode that mostly delivers on its premise, though the stakes feel bigger than the runtime can handle. The team-up dynamics get some fun moments, and Shockwave makes for a solid villain, but the pacing rushes through what should be the season’s biggest threat. Kids will enjoy it, adult fans will find it forgettable. Fine, but not essential.
