The Low Road
Hey, Dinobot’s sword and shield that spin for absolutely no reason finally have a use. They are excellent weed whackers.Rhinox defending the base with his gatling guns is knee deep in shells. Maybe instead of a fairy tale, this is Hot Shots.
Another Tarantulas virus has nailed Rhinox- because that worked so well last time. (Wait, the one that hit Optimus was from Scorponok. There’s no way that bozo could have engineered it, he must have fired one made by the spider. Am I over thinking again?)
It is an Energon virus. Rhinox will discharge his energy until full depleted. He does this via blast firing sneezes… and burps. “The Low Road” was the proper title for this story.
Ah. Optimus puts them together to work out their differences, in full knowledge of the fact that the two of them doing away with each other is a viable option. Moron.
Even the music is wacky in this one. Deciding to do a straight out comedy as the themes get darker and more serious was a bold choice.
Our two bickering Maximals found Tarantulas's trap door hidey hole. It has an amusement park slide entrance because things weren’t silly enough. Oh, I guess they truly weren’t as Tarantulas was hit by a rolling boulder in a highly Wile E. Coyote fashion.
What a shock. Primal has to call in Tigatron and Airazor to find the other two. You should have started with them, Optimus.
Rattrap and Dinobot have upped the level of their banter for this one to constant levels. Sadly, it has not become funnier.
The rest of the Maximals decide a direct attack to get the antidote is needed. Because the two constantly arguing “stealth experts” they sent are useless. Morons.
Optimus tells Rhinox to convert to Beast Mode and eat something to build energy. So… if they can do that, why all the fuss about finding a planet with giant Energon deposits? I’m pretty sure there are other ways to power spaceships and stuff.
There is a lot of evidence that this is the first time Cybertronians have ever taken on "Beast Modes." Stating that would have cleared up much.
Rhinox takes the advice and is feeding off the beanstalks. I have a bad feeling about where this is going.
Megaton monologues, followed by someone asking, “Why do you always
talk to yourself?” Thank you Blackarachnia. Let’s keep those unnerving, big
purple face, close ups to a minimum.
The big climax! Dinobot has Tarantulas as a hostage. Which might work except for the issues:
A) Predacons regularly survive being blown to pieces.
B) Megatron doesn’t like the guy.
Not much of a surprise when Megatron blasts the oversized spider into his component parts again.
What is a surprise was that Megatron was NOT a moron, and was correct in saving the bottle of antidote as a possible bargaining device.
That hardly matters as Rattrap’s insane aiming skills come into play and he disarms the entire Predacon team. This is just in time for Rhinox to sneeze a hole in the side of the Darksyde.
This is so stupid. (Which is saying quite a lot after the other stuff I’ve seen in this franchise.)
The day is saved by a nuclear Rhino fart that can be seen from space…charming.
It blew up much of the Darksyde (Again.
How do they keep fixing it with no materials or resources? It’s like they don’t
care.)
Because this is a “comedy,” the glass bottle of antidote survives, the Maximals are untouched, and the Predacons got blown into various comical positions in a tree for the wacky fade out.

And yet, it was still far better than "Kremzeek."
We open on multiple animals eating each
other for some heavy symbolism.
Rhinox states the alien sites (The Henges) are important. See, he is the smart one.
Investigating them, Cheetor and Dinobot are ambushed by Predacon fliers, who are the LOUDEST Cybertronians we’ve ever met. Because they’re morons. Seriously, how did they not hear Inferno ranting and screaming like a loon?
A white tiger riding a giant wasp? I’ll
give this show one thing, you can never say the visuals are unoriginal.
Inferno has a flame thrower. Yes, he is a loon. But a horrifying loon.
Oopsie. Tigatron accidentally shot the
Predacon arsenal and blew up AN ENTIRE MOUNTAIN. (There goes another one, and it won't be the last.) This killed Snowstalker, the
female tiger he’s been hanging out with since he adopted this Beast Mode…because
the angsty character wasn’t angsty enough.
Well. That’s quite the mood shift after the episode ending with a fart joke, isn’t it? The traumas of Nineties kids continue.
Hey Dinobot, we know Predacon and Maximal values differ, but maybe this is not the best time to be an ass? Then again, they all treated your feelings like dirt multiple times, so go for it.
An orange tiger kills an antelope just when Dinobot makes a point about nature being cruel. Nice timing.
Once again, the animation of things that didn’t happen is amazing. The hypothetical flash forward to images of Megatron destroying Cybertron accompanying Dinobot’s warning speech are kind of awesome.
Um… so… Dinobot clearly stuffs his sword right into his butt when he puts it away. His barbed, spinning sword. That’s… gotta sting.
All three fliers attack Dinobot. They are literally the worst of the Predacons, I’m sure he’ll be fine.
Wow! Waspinator hit him. That never happens. The poor little doofus must have been tired from all the lecturing.
Oh good, Optimus flew in and took them all out. Wait, not all of them, because, correction- Inferno is not the worst of them but rather a Horrifying Loon.
What a happy ending. In defense of
nature, Tigatron can kill again. No wonder Nineties kids are like that.
Law of the Jungle

Wait!
Tigatron has fire retardant foam! Surely this will lead to victory!
Why is Megatron’s hand awake while he is
asleep? More importantly, I guess, why is a robot sleeping?
The aliens are coming!!! I know from write ups they are called the Vox, but I’m starting to think that’s like the ship names where they never say it.
Inferno found a monolith where the alien energy signature hit, I’m sure that will be fine. It has another Golden Disk on it. Gasp!
Inferno reporting to Megatron- “Yes, my queen.” He’s not wrong.
How did digging Inferno beat flying Optimus there? Horrifying. Loon.
AAAH! A Giant Megatron head hologram message. He wants a truce? I’m sure he’s sincere.
Optimus is not going for it and asks if Megatron thinks he is a fool. Megatron says he thinks Primal is a Maximal, implying (accurately) that they are the same thing.
Optimus is planning yet another ruse.
Meanwhile, Tarantulas is working on his own game again, stealing a transwarp coil from the Predacon base. Waspinator caught him. *Boom* And the poor little doofus was blown to pieces again, as expected. But Megatron knows what’s going on. Hmmm.

Megatron, why are you
petting your head hand? He sends Blackarachnia to check on Tarantulas, knowing full well she’s going to join him again. I may have misjudged Megatron.
The Darksyde automatic guns are blasting
the snot out of Airazor and Rattrap. This is a cease fire? Oh, Megatron
apologized but told them to leave…while brushing his head hand’s teeth. Is this
really the story to do all these gags in? Oh! He knew Rattrap was sneaking in.
Can’t fool Megatron. (Today, anyway.)
Ah. This is Optimus Primal’s ruse. Rattrap failed on purpose, while the “able to kill again," and much stealthier Tigatron snuck in.

The spiders are tossing around Waspinator’s head like a beach ball. Poor little
doofus. Nothing disturbing here. Are you sure you’re all right, Nineties’ kids?
Megatron has a hot tub. That is all.
Tigatron just plugged his crotch into
the computer socket, and the other end into his ear. Oh no! Whatever that was has been interrupted
by Terrosaur. He’ll probably be fine.
Megatron has a hot tub. That is all.
I was right. Punching is apparently
allowed in a cease fire. Who knew?
Tigatron can escape, because, fortunately, after all the times it blew up, there are a zillion holes in the walls of the Darksyde.
Dinobot learns rolling a giant boulder onto Predacons does not violate the cease fire either.
A resurgence of the “pull one wire” design flaw stops Inferno.
Wacky hand to hand combat is all around as Looney Tunes like attacks also do not violate the cease fire. Again I ask, is this episode really where we want the goofy tone stuff?
I get a feeling I owe Megatron an
apology. He has been playing the moron all season and is WAY ahead of everyone
in his planning.
The Maximals' reaction to the information from Tigatron:

Optimus- “Another Golden Disk, Coincidence?”
Rhinox- “Maybe.”
This is their
entire analysis. Morons.
Now the Maximals know- Aliens are coming!!!!!!!
Optimus- “That’s just prime.” Oh, shut up.
