Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Beleaguered Bumblebee must learn to lead in his own way as the Team struggles to bring in a brutish Decepticon whose stasis pod has been discovered by human authorities.

Our Take

A middling episode that leans on a fairly tired premise: the new leader doubting himself while everyone waits for him to figure it out. Bumblebee’s insecurity gets some genuine moments, but the villain of the week is a generic bruiser and the action feels padded. Fine if you’re following along, skippable if you’re not.
