Episode Name: The Girl Who Loved Powerglide
Series: The Transformers (classic, 1980's), Season 2
Rating: Four and a Half Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
When the Decepticons try to capture the owner of High Tech Industries, Astoria Ritz, it's Powerglide to the rescue! But Megatron isn't going to let go of Astoria whatever the cost, and no one knows the reason why. Feelings are popping up between Astoria and Powerglide during the whole deal, making this situation more complicated between the two.
What does Megatron want, and what will happen if he gets it... and what will happen to Powerglide along the way?
Mission Report:
Binga-banga-boom! The Transformers were on a roll with these episodes! No wonder they're still famous today!
But back to the reviewing part. This was a very good show. It did show Astoria doing some stuff that shouldn't have been possible, though... in one scene, she jumped too high, and in another near the end, she threw a necklace very high... from what I'm guessing was at least half a mile high, most likely higher! Now, either Astoria is an athlete and they forgot to mention it, or it's some big story glitch.
But the rest of the episode was very good. The love relationship between the slightly-spoiled, more teen-like Astoria, and the more self-absorbed and, using Astoria's words, "Mr. Macho" Powerglide was fun. This episode also had one of my favorite Megatron lines, where says after the air-platform falls onto his Base, "Your new orders are... um... erg... clean up this mess!" That's funny, especially when you see it!
The story was very good and enjoyable. I really like this episode too!
