of the Jungle

After
the first season intro (the best in my opinion) the
first thing we see is a mosquito being eaten by a frog, then the
frog getting eaten by a snake AND THEN the frog getting eaten by an
eagle; I guess that’s why it’s called law of the jungle. Then we
hear Dino-bot complaining about doing a scout mission with the
“small cat”. Suddenly Inferno starts to shoot at him for
no apparent reason (seriously what the hell is he doing there?!)
and with the most annoying tone ever used in a show Cheetor
screams: “We got company!" Even weirder is the
fact that one of Dinobot’s eye lasers hits
Inferno in the chin and
just….bounces? I have no idea, I think it
was a joke about Inferno’s chin.
Waspinator insists
on not helping Inferno because he didn’t give the signal. Terrosaur
grabs a bomb from a missile reserve
they have in the mountains (I didn’t know transformers had
nuclear armory) and throws it to Cheetor and Dinobot. They
call for help and Optimus is the only one who’s nearby. He
beats Terrosaur, and Waspinator
insists on the signal; yet he decides to help them out by dropping a
bigger bomb, but he sees another Maximal problem: “Tigatron!”
However it’s only a normal tiger since the real Tigatron is above
him! The fight continues and one loose shot goes toward
the mountain where the Tiger is, and the poor thing get squashed in
the ensuing rocky avalanche.
After
a short lived funeral, the rest of the beast warriors are ready to
keep continue the war.
However
Tigatron is still depressed since he has just realized that the war
is destroying the planet and the animals in it. The rest of
the crew try to convince him to not leave their side, especially
Dinobot by saying “It’s a war”. He may be the coolest
character but sometimes his reasoning seems really weird. That
being said, it could be argued Tigatron is over reacting to the
death of a friend.
After
he leaves, Dinobot is sure that he can get him back. Cheetor
remains with Optimus and returns to base for repairs; meanwhile the
three Predacons that attacked before are planning a payback plan
(Also they keep insisting on the signal thing). Optimus leaves
Cheetor and wants back up - but for what? He only answers “I
don’t know” and dramatic music plays.
The
scene changes to night time where as expected, we see our favorite
Raptor searching for Tigatron. However it is Tigatron who
finds Dinobot. The Raptor has another argument that justifies the
fact that they should fight. In demonstrating this, he points
to where some reindeers appear. The tranquil scene changes
quickly and drastically as another Tiger pops out and kill one
of them.
“That
is the Law of the Jungle” Dinobot says, but Tigatron insists
that the animals don’t kill for pleasure, they just need to survive.
To that Dinobot replies that war is also about survival.
He goes on to say that the Predacons live for the glory
of conquest, and also that with enough power they will kill the
entire universe. Tigatron replies that the fight stops when
some stops fighting. The debate ends when Dinobot loses his patience
and attacks Tigatron, who refuses fight him.
Fortunately
Optimus appears in time to stop them both. Dinobot tries to
get Optimus to make Tigatron understand the his viewpoint. Optimus
responds to this by saying to the grieving tiger-bot that he is
sorry for the loss of his friend, and realizes that it hurts. Dinobot
leaves complaining about their Maximal ways. Optimus tries to
convince Tigatron by saying that they must protect this planet, but Tigatron
has made his decision
Meanwhile
the three Predacons that attacked before have set a trap and they
are ready to attack. They see Dinobot and start to assault
him. Optimus overhears the explosions and goes to help his
friend. Dinobot tries to fight but eventually he falls.
Optimus rushes to his aid and takes down both Terrosaur and Waspinator,
but Inferno takes down Optimus and both of the Maximals
are in the floor. Inferno is ready to deliver his final strike when Tigatron
pops out. The ant bot has set fire to a bush which enrages Tigatron
and spurs him to battle and defeat the Predacon.
After
the fight both Dinobot and Optimus welcome back their comrade.
Tigatron states that he stills misses his friend, but as long
as there are Predacons
that harm this planet he will fight to stop them. We see the
moon and the credits roll.
