Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Steeljaw and his Pack commandeer the Scrapyard and its defenses, our heroes must find a way to take back their base – or face an army of freed Decepticon prisoners.

Our Take

A decent villain-focused hour that finally lets Steeljaw’s crew score a real win, which the show badly needed. The siege setup generates some genuine tension, though a few of the Autobot counterattacks feel too convenient to fully buy. It moves fast and sets up bigger trouble ahead, so it’s worth a watch if you’ve stuck with the season this far.
