Convoy

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Agent Fowler asks for the Autobots’ assistance in transporting a powerful nuclear device to a military base, but since sending such a device through the Ground Bridge could be potentially dangerous, they have to travel by road. Along the way, the Autobots are ambushed by M.E.C.H., a terrorist organization who wish to steal the nuclear device and use it for their own nefarious purposes. And to make things worse, the Decepticons get involved as well.Debuts: Silas and M.E.C.H.

Our Take

A solid road-trip episode that finally introduces M.E.C.H., giving the show a human villain worth caring about. Silas makes a strong first impression, and the convoy ambushes keep things moving, though the Decepticon involvement feels tacked on and dilutes the tension. Not essential viewing, but a fun hour with some good vehicle action and a promising new threat.
