Thrill Of The Hunt

Mission Briefing:
Ratchet's the cranky, old, Great-War veteran, medic of the Autobot team. Optimus Prime has been trying to get Ratchet to talk about his old experiences in the the Great War, but with no luck. But when a terror from Ratchet's past comes to Detroit, not only does the old Autobot medic start having flashbacks about when he met this terror, but this terror's out to make trouble...

Mission Report:
Hmm... when I think about it, a good Transformers Prime version of this might just be Predatory. It was also an episode I didn't really care for.
The story was a bit glitchy. There were some unexplained stuff, and stuff that didn't quite make sense. Prime's motives behind trying to get Rachet to talk about his past was also slightly unclear, though I suspect curiousity (sp?) was what was trying to kill the cat this time around. Compared to some, however, it was decently done, just could stand a good amount of tweaking.
The enjoyment level was higher than might be expected, and a little more than I expected (I'm re-watching the Transformers Animated series). But the content wasn't really the most enjoyable, especially in the flashbacks.
This is not one of my fave episodes.

"Where's Whatever?":
Okay, Porter C. Powell wasn't in this one, but here's some interesting things: Lockdown's guns were very similar in style to the ones the Predacons used for auto-defense guns (and, later, the Maximals) in the Beast Wars. Also, it's the first time we spot Blitzwing since the movie! The gun-style was more interesting, however, though I admit that it may be concidence (sp?).
