Episode Name: Possession
Series: Beast Wars Transformers, Season 1
Rating: Four and Half Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
During an Energon storm, a good deal of the Maximals' security system is taken out. But the most unlikely visitor came around to Predacon Base during that same storm... one that had me dancing and cheering in my seat, but was causing mayhem while possessing Waspinator's body...
That's right!
STARSCREAM'S BACK!!!
Mission Report:
ALL RIGHT! I had thought they had taken out Starscream permanently in Ghost In The Machine*, but this was a wonderful surprise! My favorite Decepticon's back (it looks like only for one episode [possibly a few more, but highly unlikely], but who cares?)! And they pulled out all the stops with this episode... the story was very wonderfully done... with very few errors! The only existent errors weren't that big (though they could have made it clearer whether or not the Maximals knew Optimus Primal's plan or not). And, as a bonus, we learn a little lore: the Preds are the Decepticons' descendants, and the Maximals are the Autobots'. Neat, aye?
This is definitely my favorite Beast Wars episode yet!
