Mania Grade: B
In Summary:
Getting past the opening storyline has been an important thing as I liked it well enough but wanted to see where they intend to go beyond that. This episode shows some promise as we get Starscream actually acting a bit smart and the introduction of a new Decepticon who has a real sense of power and strength behind him that's fun. The action is very solid and enjoyable and it's accompanied by the right kind of music to make it even more excited. The human subplot of the episode is largely unmemorable but it gives it the things it needs to lighten Ratchet up a bit after the way he's been portrayed so far. This episode gives us a good start to the next phase of Transformers: Prime and has me more enthused for it overall at this point with the way things are unfolding.
