Mission Briefing:
An old friend of Bulkhead's is coming to Earth: the Wrecker Wheeljack! But the Decepticons pick up on Wheeljack's coming as well, and capture him. Starscream sends the Decepticon Makeshift--looking and sounding exactly like Wheeljack--into the Autobots' midst in order to activate a surprise attack and/or discover the location of the Autobots' secret base.
But Bulkhead's knowledge of his dear friend may reveal Makeshift's true identity...
Mission Report:
Ah, the modern version of A Prime Problem. When I got the gist of the show, that episode was the one that came to mind.
This was better than that episode, however. The story was pretty well-done, though could use some tweaking. And they aren't keeping Wheeljack! Come on! Sure, he's not the same bot from the 1980's (though they did a great job making him look very similar, especially with his battle mask on), but I was upset by the fact that he's not staying! There's a bit of a hint that he might visit again, but yeesh...! I was starting to like him too!
But, despite that, this was a pretty good show overall.
