Episode Name: Dark Awakening
Series: The Transformers (classic, 1980's), Season 3
Rating: Two Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
When Rodimus, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Spike, and Daniel are chased by Decepticons into an Autobot tomb, they make a surprising discovery... Optimus Prime lives! But he is acting strange, especially when he opens fire on them, and then sends the tomb on a collision course with a nearby sun... with them trapped inside! The Autobots and humans escape, but they then find out that Optimus took the whole Autobot fleet Quintesson-hunting!
Something smells like a five-faced-fish...
Mission Report:
Mainly, it was the content of this story. We had an Optimus Prime robo-zombie under Quintesson control! I know, I know, I have a Forsaken character on W.O.W., but I still didn't like OptiZombie! His character stayed, luckily. But the show lost a bunch of Spaceships due to this fact. At the most, there were a few amusing lines I liked, but not much else.
Some of you might ask, "Okay, then why didn't this get one Spaceship?" Funny thing is, the story itself was very good! It was well-written, and well done. That's what earned it the extra Spaceship.
This was one of my least favorite episodes, but I tip my hat off to the writer.
