Mission Briefing:
A Quintesson scientist and his guard captures the Autobot Ultra Magnus, the Decepticon Cyclonus, the Junkion Wreck-Gar, and the human EDC (Earth Defense Command) officer Marissa Faireborne (sp?). The scientist wishes to experiment on them, but they get a boatload of trouble... or should I say a spaceship-load of troube (lol!)! First it's an electron storm, but then it's a black hole!
The unlikely gang may have to team up to save their skins...

Mission Report:
This is another of my favorites. The story was well-done, except for some minor glitches. It was enjoyable, but I've told you before that I like team-ups.
It also points out an interesting point. Cyclonus and Ultra Magnus are peas in a pod (even the Quintesson said so!), yet the war keeps these two apart. This is probably the only episode where we see them team up (as well as everyone else). Seriously, it's kind of sad! It's a bitter point about war: two guys who could be best friends are mortal enemies. That was a well-shown moral, and it goes to the rest of the galaxy in this episode.
This was a well-done episode, and I enjoyed it.
