Mission Briefing:
Starscream has escaped! About one month after he escapes (graphic novels are helpful in figuring out Transformers terms sometimes), the Elite Guard sends word to Optimus Prime & Co. Just finishing up cleaning up a Dinobot rampage on Dinobot Island with a lent EMP Generator from Ratchet and Bulkhead, Prowl sets out on his own to capture Starscream, way too overconfident. He gets mixed up with Lockdown on the way.
But Starscream's got trouble planned, and Prowl is going to have to learn the lesson about overconfidence and over-modification...

Mission Report:
Yeah, having Starscream in an episode does a lot for the rating. I hate Sentinel, but Starscream's a fave. In other words, they're polar opposites on the fave list! LOL!
Back to reviewing. The story was pretty well-done, though it had glitches. None were super-major, however. Some were decent size, however...
Oh, there was one super-glitch that makes no sense. Are the Transformers color-blind? I think that they showed that Megatron has pretty much only-red-with-tinges vision, so the Decepticons I kind of get.... But the Autobots? The clones were different colors from the original Starscream. How come no one noticed that? It was never explained. Yeesh...
It was pretty enjoyable, though there were some downer, awkward moments. The enjoyment level was about three and a half. Prowl was acting all out-of-character (younger, sometimes)... kind of cool, kind of weird, depending on the scene. And he looks awesome as a samurai! I'm glad he's back to normal, however. There was a lesson learned, though I'm not sure I understand what. I have a guess, but I'm not sure at all... And this episode proves that Starscream's a little smarter than his 1980's counterpart, though it's more than clear that he has more courage than 1980's! LOL! And they took out Bumblebee and Sari in a clever way, though I would have liked them in it (at least Bumblebee). The episode's pretty good without them anyway.
This was a pretty good episode overall, and it's one of my faves (three cheers for Starscream's return! LOL!).
