Garbage In, Garbage Out

Episode Name: Garbage In, Garbage Out
Series: Transformers Animated, Season 2
Rating: Four and a Half Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
The greedy Porter C. Powell is up to no good. There's a dispute between Sumdac Systems and Detroit City Hall over money, and Powell refuses to fix the trash-bots in the city until it's resolved, so Detroit is in one big mess. The Autobots are trying to help with the problem, but they realize that Ratchet's bad attitude is causing problems of its own. Optimus assigns Bumblebee and Sari to help with this.
But an Allspark fragment has brought a new bot online. The innocent and clueless bot, eventually named Wreck-Gar by the Angry Archer, accidently causes trouble. But his Allspark energy signal makes Megatron send Lugnut Allspark fragmnet-hunting.
But when Wreck-Gar meets Autobots and they meet Powell's new trash-eating microbots, things are going to get majorly troublesome...

Mission Report:
This is another one of my favorites. The story was very well-done, though it had a few glitches (like Wreck-Gar's endless supply of garbage made no sense). The comedy level was very high, however. Wreck-Gar is hilarious! He's so cute, trying to help, but failing and rhyming! Ratchet had a slight uncomfortable moments, but it was mostly a funny and fun episode!
And there's a reference to the classics... Ratchet tries to help out a husband and a wife (who's about to give birth). Guess their names! Spike and Carlee!!! That's so obviously a reference to the classics! And their outfits are almost exact matches (art styles considered) to their outfits in the third 1980's series Season. I'm betting that the Transformers Animated version had a son and named him Daniel! That would make sense and be awesome, though their appearance in this episode was awesome all the same!
I love the episode because of the comedy levels, but the storyline was very good too.
This is one of my fave episodes!
