Spider's Game
Tarantulas has a machine to take out both groups’ scanning and communications systems. If he can do that, why doesn’t he … Y’know what… never mind.
Blackarachnia found his hidey hole! Likely because it’s next door to the Darksyde. (Moron) Spider team up time!
Good thing Tigatron lives alone in the woods. They’d miss out on most of the Predcaon plans without him.
OK, the bits based around flirting spider bots are creepy.
So, there is only one chip that needs to be replaced in a Maximal pod to change the Protoform from a Maximal to a Predacon. That seems like a design flaw.
Tarantulas brought his own spider for the pod to scan, demonstrating more forethought than almost any other character in the show.
How does the eternally buzzing Waspinator sneak up on jungle savvy Tigatron in either form? Oh, its fine.
Airazor saved the cat. More foreshadowing there.
We now have a giant ant.
I’m guessing we will never get an explanation why the other animals are about the right size (not
counting the "velociraptor" Dinobot, thank you Jurassic Park), but the bugs are huge.
Also, due to insane pod technology, Inferno here thinks he’s a real ant. It’s basically the same problem as Tigatron but far loonier. He is horrifying and lethal though.
What the hell? He has a butt jet
assisted propellor for flight- making him only the second flying robot mode individual
with a non-flight capable Beast Mode. It is him and Optimus- the ant and the ape. Is
it only animals starting with the letter A?
Tarantulas is calling the POD the real prize? Something is REALLY up with him.
Whoah, correction. Inferno is not a giant ant, he is a freaking enormous ant!
Tarantulas has nine eyes. I kept thinking something looked wrong… about the giant, day glow colored, talking spider. Perhaps I’m over thinking again?
Maybe don’t bring the pod right next to the
Predacon base if you want it to be a secret, spider guy. Moron.
The pod gets blown up anyway. Nice shot Tigatron. Oh, he’s down. But he should be fine as Optimus just blew Inferno to bits. That’s a tough start for our loony friend.
The zillion Maximal pods in orbit make
the Axalon only having one healing chamber far dumber than I originally thought.
Tarantulas knows the planet is doomed. Huh? I told you something was up with him. Impressive evil laugh, though.
Cheetor is having a hunting nightmare.
Raising the question, why is he sleeping in Beast Mode inside the Energon
shielded ship?
“Don’t get your bananas in a bunch!” Good one Rattrap!
Megatron’s dinosaur head hand shoots missiles now. It’s like they don’t care.
For the high amount of danger and destruction in the fights, there’s also a huge amount of slapstick.
Oh no! The Predacons stole the rectifier coil that shields the Axalon against Energon contamination. Why is that in such an easily accessible …. Y’know what? Forget it.
Optimus is now having a Gorilla dream. Sort of, Gorillas don’t do any of that. He’s having a Tarzan dream, really.
The animal personalities are taking over. Beast Modes really are Lycanthropy. Another design flaw.
Wow, there are a huge amount of animal nightmares in this episode. It’s like I don’t care.
Freaking out feral Dinobot is gonna be a huge problem here at the herbivore house.
Now Megatron has a giant rifle instead of his tail for that hand. It’s like they don’t care. Oh, there is a reason, he’s participating in a Fifties movie, safari hunt.
Hey, Inferno is back!
Getting blasted to component parts doesn't seem to slow down Predacons at all. Are
they resilient ‘cause they have Exoskeletons maybe? I’m overthinking it again. (Also, that doesn’t
explain Terrorsaur who has his parts blown off with a frequency second only to Waspinator, poor little
doofus.)
We really don’t need to end every Megatron speech with a giant close up of his huge purple face.
All the Predacons went on the hunt. Meaning Airazor can swoop by the Darksyde’s crappy little automatic guns and grab the rectifier coil. Because they’re morons.
Tigatron gets through to his fellow
Maximals by staring creepily. Nice skill. Oh, he also has a speech which works
because the “Access Core consciousness” passcode is his name. That seems like a
design flaw.
Embrace the beast and combine your personalities. They still have no guns; this will not go well. Oh, wait. Just like the Maximals I forgot their condition does not prevent them from Maximize-ing.
Whoah! Rhinox for the win with the Rat-ball special!
Nice call back to Generation One with
Optimus Primal winning the fight with a good old fashioned “hoist Megatron over
his head and heave him away” victory.
We have established small, easily
harvestable Energon deposits, why are the Maximals poking around on that
MASSIVE unstable one?

Whoah! Rhinox for the win with the Rat-ball special!
Dark Voyage
Great. Scorponok hit it with a missile and blew up the
whole mountain. Is the series over?
Never mind, Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap and Dinobot are all intact. Do Predacons fall to pieces easier? Is that the down side of the exoskeleton?
Not completely intact. The Maximals seem more vulnerable to Energon contamination. (Sitting on an exploding mountain of the stuff will do that.) Also, they are blind! Gasp!
And the contamination will put their Sparks out. Double Gasp!!
Was that convincing? There are far too many “false suspense” episodes of this show early on.
They all freak out completely, except my man Rhinox. His highly developed Rhinoceros sense of smell is leading the way.

The rest of the Maximal gang are being bigger morons than usual, which is a feat.
Dinobot and Rattrap have silly pratfalls while Cheetor is being constricted to death by an enormous snake. This show has an excessively uneven tone.
Attacking Predacons have made the blinded good guys fall
down a massive waterfall. GASP for a third time!!! Surely, they are dead now.
Or they are completely unharmed. Moving on.
This is the type of leader I usually end up as. He doesn’t want the mantle at all, but in an emergency, Rhinox takes command effectively and easily, but with much complaining.
Zen master Rhinox will use his focus and hearing to help the rest aim at the Predacons. Seeing a Rhino sitting criss cross applesauce was not something I came into this show expecting, but it works.
Primal and Airazor to the rescue. Nice
how they skipped straight to the scene in the base, without showing the method they used to carry a full size, unconscious rhinoceros up
the cliff. That is probably for the best.
FINALLY! The direct Generation One references I
came to this party for begin!!! Bring on the ghost of Starscream!!!
A free travelling Space Spark!!! Man, once they bring up Sparks they are everywhere. No wonder I thought they showed up sooner.
Opening with a “dark and stormy night” for the ghost story is a nice touch.
The explosion (and ghost) hit Waspinator… because it’s always Waspinator. Poor little doofus.
Wow, it shorted out both bases. Didn’t
we learn a while ago that kind of lightning blast should have blown up the
Energon under the two of them? It’s like they don’t care.
“Air commander Starscream!” Gotta love how he uses a title he never did in the original to show these new folks he’s important.
Why his Spark randomly traveled through TIME and space between the Movie and the episodes we saw his ghost in is never explained. But he’s here, so who cares?
Why are they calling Decepticons their “Ancient Ancestors?” That was three-hundred years ago. Starscream lived for NINE MILLION (and twenty-one) years before getting disintegrated.
That’s an impressive digital scene of Unicron destroying Starscream considering the whole story is a lie.
Wait, how does Starscream know this
Purple Dinosaur Guy is Megatron. I guess he can tap into Waspinator’s brain,
such as it is.
Hey, another bee drone. Coming from Waspinator That makes a lot more sense.
Megatron! Your arm head is upside down. Fix that. It looks embarrassing in front of the company.
Waspinator flies WAY better now. Don’t mess with the original Seekers in air combat.
The Maximals are abandoning the Axalon once again.
Airazor lives outside the base, almost perpetually in Beast Mode, exactly like Tigatron. Yet no one gives her a hard time. Maybe the Maximals just don’t like Tigatron? (Or maybe she’s the only woman not trying to kill them on this backwater planet?)
Another “Secret Megatron Talk” for Scorponok. Which is once more done in earshot of the Predacon he’s giving the talk about… Moron
Hmmm. Starscream’s file is classified by the Maximals. But Dinobot knows his history as a former Predacon who changed sides. Perhaps Maximal Command are hiding something? (I'm getting ahead of myself.) Or perhaps, they are morons?
Blackarachnia (who came from a Maximal pod) knows the history. Why doesn’t Megatron? Perhaps because he is a moron?
I realize it is late to notice this, but Waspinator’s transform doesn’t look like he’s finished. His robot form has a big wasp butt.
Optimus Primal surrenders to Starscream after being chased out of his own base? Change your name, sir!
Oh, sorry. Apparently, it is a ruse of
some kind… which Starscream isn’t buying. He always was the brains of the
outfit.
Optimus and Dinobot are completely at the mercy of Starscream, locked up and threatened with death if the other Maximals don’t do a suicide run on the Darksyde as Starscream has turned traitor to take over, because of course he has.

Well done, Optimus, great ruse.
Moron.
Oh, my mistake, Starscream is a bigger moron, and has locked up Optimus Primal with shackles that Rattrap could have easily snapped, so they crumble under Gorilla Power.
Why are the Maximals are still following the order to attack Megatron’s group when “the ruse” is going on? Because they are morons?
Rhinox’s guns are the only ones that drop shells, because everyone else shoots energy. Since they run on Energon (maybe, but I’m getting ahead of myself) that would be where their beams come from. So, where does he get all those bullets?
Ah, I see. It is an example of the bosses being morons as the rest of the Maximals were unaware of “the ruse.”
Blackarachnia pulls a double traitor (or
perhaps still has some Maximal programming, I'm getting ahead of myself.) and takes out Starscream in
Waspinator by shooting the Energon next to his head. I have no idea why this
made Starscream’s Spark shoot back out into space (and, one presumes, time to get back to the "Starscream's Ghost" episode.) as
Waspinator has survived being blown to pieces regularly, and the poor little doofus
only has a bad hangover this time.
