Black Friday

Episode Name: Black Friday
Series: Transformers Animated, Season 2
Rating: One Spaceship

Mission Briefing:
Bumblebee and Sari visit Meltdown in prison to see if he's got anything to use against Porter C. Powell... that does not go well. That night, Meltdown is sprung from prison by none other than the Dinobots and forced to work for a surprising Decepticon... Blackarachnia!
Prowl and Bumblebee has a Bee-keep-silent-for-ten-cycles (I'm guessing minutes) bet going on that's not going too well for Bumblebee (LOL!). Optimus Prime and the two betters leave for Dinobot Island. But Blackarachnia attacks Bee and Prowl on the Isle, and over-vemons them on purpose... without an antidote in two megacycles (I'm guessing hours), they'll die! Blackarachnia uses this to blackmail Optimus into helping Grimlock get a certain device of Meltdown's...
This is going to be a bad Friday for Optimus...*

Mission Report:
Not my fave. It has two of my least-fave characters... Blackarachnia and Meltdown! Oh, add Porter C. Powell to the list, though it's nice to see Fanzone tiring of him and him getting some of what he deserves. :)
The story... not so enjoyable, and glitchy. Especially in series details! For one, if Black landed on D-bot Isle after Megatron Rising Parts 1-2, where was she in the other episodes that had Dinobot Isle scenes? And how come the Dinobots didn't act different before this episode? No sense! And what about Meltdown's mutant "pets"...? The in-episode story was better, but still had some glitches. It was just mostly un-enjoyable, however.
This is one of my least-fave episodes in this series... right along with the first Elite Guard Trilogy episode The Elite Guard!

*Or at least I'm guessing it's a Friday from the episode name! LOL!
