Series: Transformers Animated, Season 1
Rating: Three and a Half Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Now that his body has been recovered, Megatron sets off his plan to return. The Decepticons up begin to rumble, even Blackarachnia with her own agenda! It doesn't help that Optimus Prime is stressed, cranky, and even doubts his leadership skills! His crankiness causes trouble...
But Megatron will cause even more trouble when he returns at long last!

Mission Briefing:
The series' first two-parter... and it's not my fave. But it wasn't total hate material either! I really enjoyed the Starscream scenes in the first part, and a good deal in the second. The second episode, when Prime wasn't too cranky and there were more action scenes, was enjoyable. The story was pretty decently done, though it had some glitches (two major examples: they forgot the stupid auto-defense field at Sumdac tower again, and Sari somehow knew Megatron in his Earth vehicle mode, though she never saw him!).
The loser points were content. Mostly, it was near Cranky Prime. I understand that he was stressed and he's young and the leadership thing is still a learning business to him, but those scenes were still highly uncomfortable. And the whole Megatron-kill-Starscream thing lost some points for me too.
But this episode was pretty good, though. And the story was pretty well-done, compared to certain episodes earlier in the Season.
All in all, this was a pretty good episode, but it's not my fave and a bit uncomfortable, especially in the first one.
