Total Meltdown

Episode Name: Total Meltdown
Series: Transformers Animated, Season 1
Rating: Two and a Half Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Bumblebee joins a wrestling match that's doing a commercial for Prometheus Black's bio-chemical makeovers. But things turn bad when Bumblebee's opponent turns into a giant mutant man! And then things get out of control The Autobots come to help, but once the battle's won, start picking on Bumblebee because he's the shortest member.
Meanwhile, Black's business has been shut down completely. Trying to find an edge against the machines he hates, he experiments with his chemicals and Autobot fluids from Bumblebee (from his fight-injuries). But a labatory (sp?) accident turns him into the mutant Meltdown. He continually generates an acid that can melt anything, even Autobot metal!
And his first target is Professor Sumdac!

Mission Report:
I liked this episode better than I want to admit. I never really cared for the Meltdown episodes (yeah, there's more than one). Again, not the best for the first "human trouble" episode.
The episode was more enjoyable than I want to admit. But the story had problems, and not all were comfort and/or like/dislike issues. There were actually some story glitches, and they were all over the place!
This is not my fave episode.

Note:
This is also the first episode where we see Porter C. Powell. Yeah, that jerk becomes important later on, more in the second Season. It's just an interesting note that we see him here.
