Episode Summary & Review
Summary
While Starscream acquires new power through the Allspark, the Autobots mistakenly assume Starscream is still under Megatron’s command.
Our Take
A brisk midseason entry that mostly runs in place. Starscream’s Allspark power-up gives the episode its one real jolt, and his scenes have more energy than anything involving the Autobots, who spend the runtime being wrong in ways the audience figured out episodes ago. Fine for a quick watch, but it feels like setup for better things rather than a strong hour on its own.
