Alpha/Omega

Episode Name: Alpha/Omega
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 2
Rating: Four Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Optimus Prime receives a message implanted in the Star Saber by Alpha Trion. It reveals a bunch of stuff, including that the bot also sent over the Omega Keys... which are the key (no pun intended) to reviving Cybertron!!! This causes some mixed feelings, since the Autobots are attached to Earth. But Optimus has to decode the coordinates to these Keys... luckily, there are only 4 left, most likely one per Omega Key.
Meanwhile, Megatron is trying to figure out how to tip the balance in power. He decides to take a disturbing method to gain the power of the Forge of Solis (sp?) Prime... and create a sword of equal power to the Star Saber out of Dark Energon! He calls it the Dark Star Saber... and it's going to cause some mighty trouble at Egypt, which is the location of the first Omega Key, and also where Smokescreen and Arcee are...
Will the day be saved?

Mission Report:
They've really been doing great this Season! This is another good episode... and this time, the good special effects really help! The sword-fight between the two leaders was awesome with all the flame-effects and so on (they must have fun with that, because there's a lot! It's super-cool, though!).
The story was pretty good too. It lost points for Megatron's twisted plan, and what he said about "being gods"... that was disturbing! Hey, I'm a Christian! I believe in the one true God, and that there are no other gods! However, I really liked Optimus Prime's comeback line to what Megatron said, though! Nice evening score, though it didn't help regain all the points lost by Megatron's line.
However, the rest of the story was good and enjoyable. It was cool seeing another classic face... Alpha Trion! And, while he's not as similar to his 1980's counterpart as Shockwave was, he was still pretty similar (nice going, guys!). And everything else was pretty enjoyable and well-done, though it did have some glitches (like, how did the heck did they get that arm to work?!? Did Megatron go and stick Dark Energon in it, or was it the D-gon* already in his system? Was it because they're robots? Never explained!]).
So, all in all, this was a pretty good episode, just lost some points because of disturbing memos and a few glitches.
