Episode Name: Cosmic Rust

Rating: Four Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
When Megatron goes to the lost Autobot ghost-city on Antilla(sp?), he brings back a dangerous heat ray that's shaped like a lightning bug. He encounters some asteroid trouble on the way back (don't worry, that fact's important).
Meanwhile, the Autobot scientist Prospector has invented Corrostop, a chemical fights super-effectively against rust and corrosive elements. The Autobots plan to coat all the world's history monuments with Corrostop, but they start out with only enough for the Statue of Liberty.
But while Lady Liberty is being coated, Prospector is kidnapped by the Decepticons. It turns out that asteroid trouble has caused major trouble, because they were coated with germs for the rare deadly metallic plague called Cosmic Rust. Corrostop is the only known cure.
After Megatron tricks Prospector into curing him, he sets Prospector, now infected, against the Autobots. They get infected, and to make matters worse... there is no more of the secret chemical needed to make Corrostop!

Mission Report:
This is one of my favorite shows. The story was pretty good, and it's just an enjoyable show to watch. It was fun to watch Cybertronians get sick, especially Mr. "Macho-Tough-and-Rough-Evil-Pants" Megatron!
This is one of my fave episodes.
