Cliffjumper proves how awesome he is (and how stupid)
Synopsis Presumed to be defeated, the Decepticons have returned! After receiving a message from Shockwave on Cybertron, Megatron comes out of hiding and orders the construction of a "Space Bridge" to transport Earth's energy to Cybertron. When Bumblebee and Spike uncover his plan, they are captured, and Bumblebee is "reprogrammed" to lead the Autobots straight into a trap!
Review
Cliffjumper begins this episode by being an idiot by thinking a rock was Starscream. Also, Ironhide is being optimistic, so Megatron turns out to be alive. This is also the first time we see Shockwave since the first episode. We also get to see the creation of the Space Bridge which will later be used to bring kids into space. Jazz shows his love for very simple music. The city is low on power because Megatron attacks the solar power plant. Bumblebee is late for the roll call (why is that important? I don't know...). Starscream must be sick because is voice is off in this episode. Ironhide gets shot in the shoulder but is perfectly fine.
Too bad Brawn didn't have Ironhide's strong shoulder
This episode transitions scenes in a Star Wars fashion instead of symbol swapping tword the end. Alot of things that are present in seasons 1 and 2 are established in this episode. Brainwashing Bumblebee was a great plan, and it almost worked for the Decepticons. Unfortunately, because the Decepticons are bad guys, they can never win. When Bumblebee escapes the Space Bridge transport by transforming, he doesn't grab Spike and expects him to catch up on foot. It's almost like Bumblebee is saying "Goodbye Spike! If you die now, Daniel will never be born! You're helping the human race with your sacrifice today!" (unfortunately, Daniel is born 15 years later and will be the most annoying human in this franchise). Laserbeak also has a bad habit in this episode where he just starts spewing out Star Wars sound effects. Physics decided to leave this episode, because Jazz took a rock and was able to hit a null ray blast back at Starscream. This episode is certainly better than the last but not that great.
