Series: The Transformers, Season 1
Rating: Two Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Megatron has a new plan, blah-blah-blah! This time, he aims to win the war through Optimus Prime's sense of honor... due to Cybertron law, if the war goes on for a long time, the two leaders can have a final showdown without help from their armies; the loser and his army exile themselves to deep space, and the winner stays where he pleases. And Megatron has a plan to cheat, of course! With the help of his new Constructicons, he makes a device that allows him to take the powers of the Earth Decepticon Army*! Then he sends the Constructicons on a demolition mission, with Teletraan-1 as the target!
There's little hope for the Autobots this time around. Will they win the day?

Mission Report:
Here's another loser due to content. The story was decent, with only a few story glitches. And the Decepticon-power showcase is kind of fun and interesting. But it had the Optimus-beaten-to-a-pummel-near-death-kind element in it. I did not enjoy that. I'll be honest... the first time I saw this, I got all happy because it had Starscream in it. In Countdown To Extinction, I thought that they had taken out Starcream for good! But, nope, he's back! But the OBTAPNDK (up above in intalics) element killed it.
This is not my favorite episode.

*This is sometimes what I call the Decepticon Army that's on Earth.
