Project Predacon

Episode Name: Project Predacon
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Three Spaceships

Mission Briefing:
Everyone's settling in, getting adjusted, and so forth in their new home and position. Smokescreen is also handling his almost-was-a-Prime problems, issues, and thoughts. By himself, since he (and most likely Optimus Prime) who knows about that almost-becoming-Prime situation.
Optimus finds a bunch of Decepticons digging up Predacon remains... on Earth.
We find out that Megatron has had Shockwave do some Pred' cloning long ago. This army secured Earth for the Decepticons, and then were lost thanks to time. The Autobots figure out that these Predacons have become basis for Earth mythology and Midevial(sp?)-time tales.
And it's not much to figure out that the Decepticons are starting to do cloning plans again! The Decepticons are gathering remains so that Shockwave can get the CNA (basically, it's like DNA for Cybertronians) to clone a new army of Predacons! And he pretty much needs a single strand of said CNA!
Agent Fowler reports two sightings of Decepticon activity. The team splits up (again :) ). This episode follows Optimus, Bumblebee, and Smokescreen as they attempt to stop the Decepticons from getting Predacon CNA...

Mission Report:
THIS is more like it! The theme song's different, and the emphasis on beast and beast hunters is finally coming out more!
Plus, Bulkhead said beast wars! Classic reference!
This episode wasn't the best. The story was okay, and it was sometimes more enjoyable at times than others. There were cool scenes, admittedly, like the one where Soundwave Groundbridges the Predacon tooth into the Nemesis*, and it lands in Megatron's open, and waiting, hand! Admittedly, there were story glitches there, but it was still cool to see!
And all the stuff around Optimus... seeing his new combat powers, him actually scanning a vehicle, seeing his new vehicle mode shoot missiles... just a bunch of cool stuff around him and the new-and-improved him!
And the background storyline and world-building is well done, at least in this case. It shows how the Cybertronian storyline affected Earth, and it did so logically. The scenario they had set up was well-done. I thought that was cool, well-done, and good work on their part. Well done, guys!
So, this episode had its up, and really up and cool, moments, but... it wasn't the best episode. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was pretty much average.
