Mission Briefing:
Ratchet has been captured! After failing to save the human device, the Autobots head back to Base to discover their doctor gone. They are trying to figure out what to do.
Meanwhile, Megatron is trying to get the data--or help--he needs from Ratchet. When the cordical physic patch doesn't work, Megatron begins to work his "voodoo"* on Ratchet.
Things are going to be troublesome before they get better...

Mission Report:
Again, not the best episode, but not total trash either.
There were good parts to this episode. One of my faves is when Raf starts acting like Ratchet... that was funny!
And it was interesting to watch how Megatron did his negotiations with, and persuaded, Ratchet to help. There was honesty, yet attacking certain points. Megatron was very clever in his plan. It was very interesting.
And I think they did a good job with the catch-up part of the episode. I had forgotten about Megatron plotting to grab Ratchet, until they couped the scene and his line with the one where Soundwave is approaching Ratchet with crackling wire-things...
But there were lulls and not-so great parts. Some parts of the show were boring.
But this wasn't a total-trash episode. But it wasn't a shining best either.
All in all, this was only an average episode.
