Mission Briefing:
The Autobots find a picture of an escape pod on the Internet. They soon discover it's a Decepticon pod... carrying the wrong cargo!!! They meet the Autobot Smokescreen, a super-new Autobot when we're talking about experience... with training under the Elite Guard, and once-guardian of Alpha Trion, head archivist of Iacon and friend of Optimus Prime. He is accepted, but he's so new, he needs training! And his coming affects the still-recovering Bulkhead, making the big dude upset.
But a different discovery has been found via the World Wide Web... a bunch of Red Energon! This super-rare Energon does an energy boost, but it also gives the owner super-speed! The Autobots go after it... but Starscream has found the Red Energon via the Internet as well!!!
Smokescreen may soon end up being on the field faster than anyone wants...

Mission Report:
Hmm... this is an episode that needs work. Now, there were enjoyable parts (Starscream enjoyed an image that Raf used to replace a Bumblebee sighting!). And there was a little more lore, and we learn that this Cybertron did indeed have an Autobot Elite Guard (the symbol for them pretty much matches the one in Transformers Animated). And it's cool that we have a new Autobot... a young one at that!
However, the highest enjoyment level was only 4-Spaceships. It was a mostly average show. The story needs work. There were glitches. And it wasn't really the best for enjoyment. Now, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. But there were enjoyable and good parts... it was just mostly average.
So, this episode was a mostly-average show, though it did have some more enjoyable and better parts!
