Episode Review: Coming of the Fuzors: Part 1
Season 2
Reviewed by Lord Skyfire ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
episode starts off with a gloomy storm echoing in the distant areas
passed two stasis pods. Both
pods are severely damaged and debris lay around them.
A small scorpion scurries down root near the pods.
Meanwhile
at the Predacon base the Predacon computer reports the detection
of two Maximal stasis pods down in Delta Quadrant.
Megatron and Inferno quickly venture off to secure the maximal
protoforms as their own. Waspinator watches his comrades fade into
the distance, but then catches a glimpse of the single remaining
moon. After thinking
for a bit he says, “One moon now… hmmm….
Those markings… Heh!
Waspinator knows!”
As
the Predacon wasp buzzes back into the Darkside, Dinobot stands
in the distance watching.
He too notices the remaining moon and realizes what planet
they really are on! But
then a Predacon auto-gun locks onto him and fires.
He dodges a direct impact, but gets pelted with falling rock
debris. As he recovers
he devises a method of shielding his signature from the auto-guns
scanners. After covering
himself in tar (????) he moves slowly towards the auto-gun.
After successfully getting close to it he smashes it and
moves on to the base.
In the disc room
both golden disc spin weightlessly in a containment field as Waspinator,
in beast form, buzzes in.
He transforms and approaches the field in awe.
He then reaches towards the field, but his quickly flung
backward into Dinobot, who had just arrived.
Dinobot grabs his former comrade by the neck and lifts him
to eye level. They
both discuss the matters of what planet they really are on and the
secrets the discs truly hold.
They determine that they have been stranded on ancient Earth
and that the discs hold a record of the future.
And as Waspinator put it they give, “…ultimate power!”
Waspinator proposes that they both work together to retrieve
the discs, but when Dinobot agrees he is very surprised!
Dinobot throws him into the containment field and watches
as the Waspinator is electrified, disassembled, and smashed into
a cube of ‘waspy’ parts! Dinobot then quickly retrieves the two
discs. Then, after
Waspy is smashed into a cube, the machine flips him out and into
Tarantulas’ curled up body, which was kicked in by none other then
Blackarachnia! Dinobot
quickly fires a few random blasts of his eye lasers and escapes
from a hull breech in the wall.
Tarantulas’ mind, that has possessed Blackarachnia’s body,
orders the femme to stop Dinobot, but Blackarachnia refuses to risk
herself. Tarantulas
ignores the disc as he spots the equipment he needs to revive himself.
At Maximal HQ
the maximals find a stasis pod close to their base.
Unfortunately it was a blank, a protoform without a spark.
Rattrap questions what good that does them.
Rhinox answers mysteriously, “None.
For now…” Tigatron and Airrazor then set out to find the
remaining pods throughout the planet.
Back at Delta
Quadrant, the two damaged stasis pods begin to come to life.
Both pods begin scanning for compatible life forms and their
computers state, “Critical scanner damage.
Replication error.
Data tracks non-recoverable.”
Then after the activation sequences is over both ‘bots emerge;
one, a silver eagle/wolf hybrid and the other a golden scorpion/cobra
hybrid. Both have no
identities and no idea what was going on.
The scorpion/cobra, we later learn to be called Quickstrike,
challenges Silverbolt, eagle/wolf, to a fight.
As they battle against each other, Inferno comes blasting
weaponry at them. Explosions
from impacts, send them both hurtling through the air.
After landing Quickstrike decides that he’s going to take
on Inferno. Quickstrike
then leaps at Inferno and clamps onto the ant’s arms.
His tail/cobra head nips at Inferno with little effect.
Inferno says (and this is one of my favorite lines!), “Fool!
Pain is my friend!
Allow me to introduce you to it!” And with that Quickstrike
is flung from side to side by the ant drone.
Meanwhile
in the distance Megatron lurks behind a rock formation.
He accesses the two new comers’ activation codes and changes
them to be Predacon.
After
an attempt of heroism by Silverbolt fails, Inferno unleashes a spray
of flames at them both, but he’s soon stopped my Megatron.
The mighty tyrant, in beast form, greets the new ‘bots and
tells them they are Predacons.
As proof, he tells them to speak aloud the Predacon activation
code, “Terrorize!” After
both do so, Megatron smirks successfully and puts a welcoming arm
on both ‘bot’s shoulders. Meanwhile,
back at the Maximal base, Rhinox prepares to go off-line.
Rhinox explains to a complaining Rattrap that, “After the
alien devices exploded it created a window into transwarp space…”
Rhinox then shuts down. After
which Rattrap sends Cheetor to find Dinobot before the Predacons
do.
In
maximal territory Dinobot stands pondering on the power the discs
hold and if he should, in fact, use them to control his destiny.
He finally, after a loooooong time, decides to hide one under
a boulder and bring the other back to base. Back
at the Predacon base Blackarachnia is hooked up to some sort of
machine. Electricity
crackles as life pumps back into Tarantulas’ transmetal body, which
rests on a web. Within
moments Tarantulas’ regains life and the spider cackles in joy that
he lives! In
Delta Quadrant, Megatron and the new comers discuss the Predacon
way and their goals and as Megatron put it, “…but our main focus
must be the Maximals. And
their destruction.” Quickstrike
asks about destruction and after Megatron spots an incoming Maximal,
Cheetor, he grants the western talking fuzor his request.
He fires a few blasts at Cheetor as the feline calls for
assistance. After which
he orders Silverbolt to follow the cat and destroy him.
Silverbolt questions Megatron’s orders and is met with a
blast in the chest. Megatron
yells, “Never question my orders!
Now go!” Silverbolt
goes and Megatron and the rest follow after. A
chase scene begins as Silverbolt gains on the transmetal maximal
cat! Cheetor leads
the ‘parade’ into a small valley in which large stone formations
rest. Cheetor using
his ‘cat speed and corning ability’ weaves in and out of the formations
with the Predacons following.
Eventually Silverbolt crashes into one of the formations,
but Megatron continues after Cheetor just busting through the stones.
Rattrap
sits watching over his friend Rhinox, but is interrupted by Cheetor’s
incoming message. Rattrap
answers and asks, “What have ya done now?”
Cheetor tells him about the Predacons and Rattrap tells him
he’ll put up sentinel. Rattrap
then goes back to Rhinox and tells him its time to wake up, but
is interrupted by the computer, “Danger!
Unit Rhinox’s core consciousness has extended beyond measurable
limits. Further interference
will cause permanent loss of spark.”
Then Dinobot comes in and brings down a weapon locker-thingy.
Lol. Rattrap
explains the situation. The
locker slides back up into the ceiling revealing a Rambo looking
Dinobot. Both of them
head out side to keep the Predacons from the base for Rhinox’s sake.
Outside Rattrap transforms into his vehicle mode and speeds
off leaving Dinobot caught in a cloud of dirt. Rattrap
spots Megatron closing on Cheetor in the air.
The rat quickly transforms and fires a few volleys at the
tyrant causing him to slam hard into the ground.
Megatron then orders everyone to converge on his coordinates.
Both Maximal and Predacon factions regroup in two parties
to prepare to fight. Meanwhile,
Tarantulas creeps towards Blackarachnia laughing maniacally.
Blackarachnia threatens to shoot him, but is unable because
of Tarantulas’ psychic link with the window.
Blackarachnia falls to the ground, as Megatron appears on
the screen in front of them.
He orders Tarantulas and Waspinator to come to him, to finish
the Maximals for good! A western song echoes through the area as both factions move out into their ranks. Rattrap and the Maximals prepare their weapons and slowly step out to fight. Both factions stand face to face with their weapons ready and slowly after the Preds bring their weapons up, the Maximals move to a fighting stance. The screen fades out…. To be continued! I hate those! Lol
