Dark Voyage

Episode Name: Dark Voyage
Series: Beast Wars Transformers, Season 1
Rating: Three Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Scorponok and Waspinator ambush Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap, and Dinobot on an Energon-mining mission. The Predacons cause a major Energon explosion. They leave, thinking the Maximals to be destroyed.
But the Maximals survive. But they are heavily Energon contaminated. Their systems are in big trouble. If they don't reach Maximal Base in time, they'll die for good!
But how will they make it when they're literally blind?

Mission Report:
The story idea was good. The story itself, however, could have been done better. There were story problems, and it wasn't super-enjoyable. The moral of the story didn't come out very well either (though this moral was for the Transformers, but we still didn't really get what was learned or, when we got something figured out, how). I did enjoy watching Rhinox act like a peaceful Zen Master, but that was it.
While this episode didn't bomb the place (despite the explosion at the start), it wasn't the best one either.
