Episode Summary & Review

Our Take

A surprisingly grim season opener that leans hard into the Autobots’ lowest moment, with the scattered team regrouping and the Decepticons winning for once. The stakes feel real and the darker tone suits the show, though some of the human subplots drag a bit. Worth watching if you’ve been following along, since it sets the table for everything after.
