Episode Name: Mission Accomplished
Series: Transformers Animated, Season 2
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The Elite Guard are giving Optimus trouble because they don't believe that the Decepticons are on Earth. They order the Autobots to prep to leave Earth, and there will undoubtedly be more trouble waiting on Cybertron... especially for Optimus, who believes that the truth should be told (go, Optimus!), while the E-Guard think otherwise. The Earth-Autobots try to find Sari a home.
But someone's back. A traitorous someone! He plans trouble, primarily for Megatron, but doesn't care who gets in his way...
To quote my post for Possession:
"That's right!
"STARSCREAM'S BACK!!!"
Mission Report:
This is the exception that I was talking about! The last one of the Elite Guard Trilogy is my fave, and one I actually enjoy. The story's good, though there are some glitches. There were some uncomfortable moments, but this was a mostly-enjoyable episode. And the Elite Guard finally leave Earth!!! Yay!!!
But this is my fave in the Trilogy because my fave Decepticon is back in action! This episode actually surprised me the first time I saw it, because I thought Starscream brought the big one. Lost And Found didn't surprise me, because of data seen in the movie (it's a bit of a glitch). But this episode was a happy surprise!
And they bring in classic: Starscream's inability to die! It starts with the 1980's Starscream, and jumps to 2009 Starscream! Nice...! And both have pretty reasonable explantions (1980's, Beast Wars: mutated Spark; Transformers Animated: Allspark fragment), though the one in this episode makes a little more sense... but who cares? My fave Decepticon's back! Lots of points for that!
This episode, despite being part of the Elite Guard Trilogy, is one of my fave episodes in this Season!
