Only Human

Episode Name: Only Human
Series: The Transformers (classic, 1986), Season 3
Rating: Three Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Human trouble yet again! When the Autobots stop the plans of Mr. Drath, he wants revenge! He assigns the help of Snake, and they trap the Autobots and use a machine on them... that puts their minds into human-like bodies!
Now the Autobots Rodimus Prime, Springer, Arcee, and Ultra Magnus have to stop Mr. Drath by themselves, and in human bodies... but the fact that their robot bodies are being used for evil isn't helping...

Mission Report:
This was not my favorite. The story was okay, but it wasn't the most enjoyable one. We do see the answer to a Season 2 episode (Autobot Spike), where Bumblebee wonders out loud, "I wonder what it would be like for a robot to be in a human." The quote's so off, but I think the basic message got through. This episode's interesting in that matter.
And we have another GI Joe interaction... actually literally! The Cobra Commander is a character in this one (Snake). His face-mask sets it off, and when he yells "COBRA!" at the end makes it obvious. That was really cool.
This episode had some interesting points, but it was not my favorite.
