Episode Summary & Review

Our Take

This one’s a classic example of G1 not thinking things through: Megatron builds a fake Optimus Prime, then wastes the advantage on a silly contest instead of just destroying the confused Autobots. The animation errors pile up and the logic holes are huge, but there’s a goofy charm to it all. Fine for a lazy watch, just don’t expect it to make sense.
