It was an okay episode.

Brief thoughts:

+ The human villain was riding something that looked like a My Little Pony (although it was a unicorn) and she was apparently waging a war of girls toys vs boys toys. A tribute to My Little Transformers perhaps? Definitely a tribute to My Little Pony, which is a girls' toyline made by Hasbro (Michael Bay also made a reference to this with the little girl who mistook Ironhide for the Tooth Fairy )

+ Soundwave's persona was actually more like Shockwave! - personalitywise he wasn't like Soundwave at all! Lots of visual tributes to Soundwave, especially the box that he came in and the leftover piece of him at the end. His ability to control other machines was cool and reminiscent of G1 Soundwave's command over the Decepticon cassettes, and of course, the voice. Otherwise he was a lot more like Shockwave!

I'm glad that Bulkhead was the hero at the end, but he's still sorely underdeveloped and still basically being portrayed as the clumsy brute... Bulkhead is more of a caricature than a character. :/
