Mission Briefing:
Mysterious cyber-raptors come of nowhere an attack a group of early-humans (yeesh! These folks again?). The Maximals come just in time, but the two kids are separated from the tribe. Optimus sends Blackarachnia and Cheetor to help the kids home.
But Megatron's got plans...

Mission Report:
Okay, Tarantulas (guessing that's how you spell the name for real) is back. Doesn't make so much sense, but I'm just going to presume that Megatron's giving him a second chance, like his namesake in Starscream's case.
Once again, lost points for the primitive man. And more lost points for Cheetor falling in love! YEESH!
But the story was still very good and enjoyable, even with "primitive man". The protect-the-humans motif is back. And the story was just enjoyable and well done... some points earned back!
This was a surprisingly good episode.
