Summary:
This episode begins
in the Valley DinoBot saved in Code of Hero. Four proto humans,
including the one with DinoBot’s hand-made weapon, were travelling
back home after hunting for food. The two young children began chasing
after the flower petals one of them had picked while the elder human
waited for them and quickly vanished. The leader, knowing something
was wrong, ordered the kids in his language to hide and was soon
chased by a strange raptor with glowing red eyes. The raptor lost
its prey and soon heard the children whimpering in fear. Before
it could harm them, Optimal Optimus Primal and Silverbolt came to
their aid. Silverbolt was shot down with ease but Optimus destroyed
the raptor.
Back at the Century, Rhinox indicated that the raptor
was made out of Cybertronian alloy and fused with a different Transmetal
technology, proving that Megatron was behind it. Optimus ordered
Blackarachnia to bring the kids back to their village. After a little
bit of complaints and a witty remark made by Rattrap, the new Predacon
traitor realized that she had no choice. Silverbolt volunteered
to accompany her but was denied because it would distract her from
her mission and he had already sustained damage from the last encounter.
Cheetor then volunteered, which didn’t make the bird-dog feel any
better.
Expecting Blackarachnia would be sent out to send
the children home, Megatron sent Tarantulas, Waspinator and three
cyber-raptors to find and destroy her. Blackarachnia and Cheetor
were ambushed by a cyber-raptor that was already in the area. Cheetor
was shot down easily while the black widow swallowed her pride and
rescued the kids while getting away. Both then realized that they
had entered one of Megatron’s jamming zones.
Knowing something was up, Optimus and, after some
failed objections, Silverbolt left to find their MIA comrades, leaving
Rhinox and Rattrap alone in the base, awaiting an attack from Megatron,
Rampage, Inferno and Quickstrike.
After a while of battle, the leader of the Proto
humans came back and found the cyber-raptor’s weak point, thus giving
the Maximals a way to defeat the Preds. After hearing of the Predacon’s
failure, Megatron ordered that the others take hostages; that is
until Depth Charge showed up and helped Rhinox and Rattrap drive
the Preds away.
The Maximals (mainly Cheetor) said their goodbyes
to the human children after their victory against Megatron… but
was it really a victory or was Megatron just testing the limitations
of his new Transmetal II technology? Only time will tell.

Review: This
was one of the episodes that seem important but are as funny as
heck at the same time. It was also what some people call the beginning
of the two-parted episode of Feral Scream.
I really like the episode because it reintroduces
the proto humans into the series. It is also, what some people say,
the beginning to Cheetor’s crush on Blackarachnia and the beginning
to BA’s secrete plot to find away to gain more power. Some of the
humorous parts of the episode were of Cheetor with his tail straight
in the air, Quickstrike getting hit by a primitive form of a trap
and Silverbolt using one of his wings to block Cheetor from seeing
the black widow (this was both funny and sad).
Waspinator’s surprised look before he was blasted
was pure humor and typical cartoon combined into one and was finished
off when the Predacon came back in beast mode only to be used as
a trampoline by one of the raptors who had begun to malfunction.
Poor Waspinator… all well at least he wasn’t singing as if he were
in opera… isn’t that right Optimus.
Cutting Edge was by far one of the most remember
able episodes in the series.
