Chain Of Command

Episode Name: Chain of Command
Series: Beast Wars Transformers, Season 1 (1996)
Rating: Four Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
While they investigate the Standing Stones (the rock formation that looks like a completed Stonehenge), there's a Predacon attack. In result, some sort of signal is sent to space... and a mysterious alien probe comes as a result. The probe makes Optimus disappear, and there's a fight for the command of the Maximals between Rattrap and Dinobot.
Megatron doesn't need a report to figure this out, and he always takes his advantages... and what if it's discovered that Optimus is alive?

Mission Report:
Okay, not the worst. It could have been done better, but they remembered the fact that the Cybertronians couldn't stay in the world's air in robo-mode for too long. The time was longer, so it has to be endurance level, but it's nice to see all the same.
And there's the question of the probe, who sent it, who built the Standing Stones, etc, etc, etc... it wasn't comfy. But the problem is that I think it's supposed to do that! You know, make you want more, and give questions to answer in later shows! Yikes!
Okay, again not the best episode, but not the worst and better than the last episode... though too many unanswered questions (good for a series, though)!
