I loved this episode. It was great.

Little Sari wasn't overbearing and the twist w/ her is becoming very interesting though I suspect I know where it's going. She may not be so dis-similar to Black Arachnia after all.

It was great to see Optmus shine under the eyes of Ultra Magnus. I couldn't quite place it at first but then I realised why I was really enjoying Optimus take command. It's the beginning of Optimus' growth as a respected leader in the Autobot ranks. I suspect that Ultra Magnus may end up dying, paving the way for Optimus to take on the mantle of Autobot commander

I have to say, unlike you all, I LOVE Sentinel Prime. He's not the Sentinel Prime I want to see in the IDW comics but he's a unique character. We've never had this annoying a character with substance. Characters like Wheelie were failed characters. The writers wanted us to like them. Sentinel Prime though is a character we don't want to like. And I think he adds that sharp contrast to team dynamics. In real life, I'd hate this guy, but I love him as a character b/c he gives more depth and significance to the other characters. I think an interesting part is watching whether or not he ends respecting Optimus. A great deal of character potential brimming there.

Jazz looks visually sweet and laid back. I dig that. But character-wise I felt he was the weakest of the three.

Ultra Magnus is a tougher one for me. I love the leader vibe, the classic head mould, his alt mode and the hammer but then there's the hammer which screams way too much Thor for my liking. But that's just me, I guess, since I'm a massive Marvel comics' Thor fan. The other thing I've begun to notice is that many of the characters in this line possess less conventional TF weaponry (IE. guns) which really appeals to me. Ultra Magnus' presence was well done too. Everything he says is simple and to the point. Great portrayal. My only quibble is that I would've like shoulder missiles to go w/ it too.

And also, i want to say that the TFA need to take this episode as a template. They were able to preserve the humour of this w/ belittling the audience's intelligence. I found it quite humourous but logical why the TFs would want to worry about contamination from organic life forms.

Great episode and I got to say I'm hooked. After I watched this ep, i clicked on the RiD episode and found it to be unbearable.
