Thanks to torrents, this episode is available. FanTransformers has put it on YouTube.

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD

Ironhide makes an appearance at the very beginning, reporting Decepticon attacks all across space, one of which it seems he is a victim of. On Earth, Ultra Magnus is about to evacuate all Autobots off Earth on the basis of no Decepticons being there. Optimus Prime objects, and Sentinel continues arguing against him.

We see Starscream on a trash barge, then he suddenly awakens. He sets off to destroy Megatron. After shooting Megatron has no effect, Megatron blows Starscream to the ground, and tells Lugnut and Blitzwing to make sure he's dead. Lugnut observes there is no spark in his chamber, and throws him away in the water. Starscream is still alive though, and then notices he's missing a spark. He finds what's really keeping him alive - an Allspark fragment embedded in his forehead. This probably means he was killed by Megatron during "Megatron Rising"

After constant attacks on Megatron fail, Starscream finds another Allspark fragment, and tries to lure Megatron in a trap. But Megatron is watching him from higher up in the sky, and only the Autobots appear. Then Megatron blasts him, causing him to fall to earth, right in front of the Autobots. This proves Decepticon activity to Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Prime. They then try to take Starscream down, but because he has no spark, he has become immortal. So Optimus comes from behind and snaps on stasis handcuffs, which defeats SS. The Elite Guard then leaves Earth, permitting Optimus and the others to stay and fight Decepticons and collect more fragments.

The episode ends with another cliffhanger. Megatron had called previously for Decepticons throughout space to report to his call, similar to the end of the 2007 Movie. He now refers to some "double agent" on Cybertron, and how he is going to conguer Cybertron - FROM WITHIN!!!


So are we going to see Shockwave?
Is The Elite Guard going to reappear?
Why was there no Blackarachnia?
Can it get any better???

[Blurrz]

I was laughing pretty hard when Starscream kept getting shitkicked. After a while though it kind of got redundent. I also don't like how he nearly took out 8 Autobots.

And what the hell did that the thing in the bottom of the ship have to do with anything?

Where's Blurr?

And doesn't this remind anyone of pre-Empire Jedi? Like how they were so abundant.. and the Sith were believed to be dead?

This is exactly the same.. alot of Autobots, "barely" any decepticons.

This episode was great. But someone really needs to teach Canadians how to speed rip.

The Starscream bit was hilarious, and I can't wait for him to come back again. Zombie Starscream, running around without a soul.

Yea that part was awesome, he might be the most dangerous Screamer ever.

This seems to show us that Ironhide is not a real Animated character, that's why he'S just a repaint of Ratchet, he existed solemly for this scene, but I wouldn't mind being wrong with that one.

[Omega Charge]

So...thanks to Botcon, I guess we know the answers to some of the arising questions. Shockwave WILL appear. I am so getting his toy.

And BA has an interesting story in an upcoming episode...

[Shadowman]

Okay, here we go. I feel compelled to do this for every episode:

1. Ironhide makes an appearance. He's a red version of Ratchet, so not much has changed. His voice is different, and a lot less gruff. (Probably to distinguish him more from Ratchet)

2. Starscream is back, hey hey. Best line: "I can't sense any Decepticon energy signatures...even my own! I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE OFFLINE!!" This is the best Starscream ever. He apparently goes from Wile E. Coyote while trying to kill Megatron, then becomes Doomsday while fighting the Autobots.

3. Optimus FINALLY kicks Sentinel's ass.

4. Starscream not only references Starscream's Ghost from G1, but also his own immortality from BW.

5. Sentinel references Headmaster, while Prowl references Prometheus Black and Nanosec. Nice to see there's some continuity between episodes.

6. This episode was very Decepticon-heavy. In fact, while most episodes would feature usually one or two Autobots, usually as character development for one of them (Kids action shows have been doing this for a very long time), this one seemed to be more about Starscream than anything.

7. Megatron references a double-agent. Ironhide is out, since he's on the Galactic rim and not Cybertron, and Sentinel has just left Earth, so it's not him either. I assume it's someone who hasn't been shown yet. I'm going to go with Oilslick.

[Tekka]

Oilslick has been confirmed to be a toy only character though. My money is on Shockwave or Swindle.

[Decatron]

I love the scene with them towing a bot mode Starscream

[Tekka]

Did you notice how Starscream is suddenly massive compared to Bulkhead?

[robotrik]

My god what an intense episode. Megatron reminds me more and more of Darth Vader.. actually the whole episode had a star wars vibe to it. and Screamer, well he is sooo freaking g1ish.
finally they focus on the decepticons for a change and give us a dark episode.

[Shadowman]

Seriously? Huh. I even meant to NOT post that. I was actually going to suggest Shockwave.

[Autobot032]

I can't say enough good things about this episode. It was funny, action packed and well written. Definitely one of their best yet.

[Saber Prime]

And what the hell did that the thing in the bottom of the ship have to do with anything?

That's the thing Megatron needed to send out a comunication signal to the other Decepticons. It allso means the Autobots (or at least the ones on that ship) have no means of comunication.

[i_amtrunks]

Good Decepticon heavy episode.

Starscream was great again, Tom Kenny was the perfect casting for the job. Fanzone, Ratchet and Prowl all heavily appearing made this a great episode.

It seems that Sumdac actually is intelligent too, who would have guessed? I cant believe the Autobot Elite Guard ship did not have any sensoring equipment to notice when large bodies are near it, instead relying far too heavily on a scanner of Decepticon signals.

Who is the double agent? could it be Ironhide, since he was reporting the skirmishes in the outer rim territories? (Joking, it cant be him, the fan reaction would be terrible!)

[Moonbase2]

I can't say enough good things about this episode. It was funny, action packed and well written. Definitely one of their best yet.

Agreed. This show has far exceeded my expectations. It doesn't take itself too seriously, yet it grown up enough (despite our initial response to the designs) for us adults to enjoy.

This is one of my favorites definitely!

[neutralstate]

ultra magnus got owned pretty badly by starscream. i think he would just be ripped apart by megatron...

Yes he did! He was OBVIOUSLY not ready to deal with Megatron's right-hand-traitor! Even I cringed for that!

This episode was probably one of the funniest ever in Animated! Starscream getting his ass handed to him in groundhog-day fashion...One of the least savory aspects of immortality! The references to "Starscream's Ghost" were lovely little G1 easter-eggs, and I eat those up like candy! I was laughing so hard I was crying!

Animated Megatron is, and I say this again for punctuation, the most whoop-ass incarnation of the character outside the comics! The first time he hands Starscream his ass, he just aims into Starscream's face and fires, then turns around like it was nothing but a thing...total disregard for anyone and anything! FANTASTIC!!! The way Big Megs is supposed to be!

Once again, Optimus hands Sentinal a handful of SDASTFU..another thing that makes Pyro laugh! I do not like Sentinal. He's a total douche.

A tachion generator, eh? Interesting indeed! A lovely All-Decepticon transmission was sent out...meaning a assload of new Cons on the way! Full of total YAY!!

A Decepticon double-agent on Cybertron? Hmmmmmmmmm...........Swindle mayhaps? Now THAT would be a lovely thing indeed!

All in all, I am loving to see the way Animated is going....Was worried for a few weeks, but things seemed to have gotten back on track!

Wow! I got wordy again!

To be fair, Starscream had the element of surprise.

[idiot45]

You got to hand it to Megatron for kicking Starscream's ass 5 times in the episode. Four times thrown off a cliff. I really liked that Scene where in Megatron broadcasted his speech across the galaxy in which we will hopefully see more Decepticons in later episodes. I'm guessing Blurr might appear in the episode, "Velocity".

Heck I even cut this from the episode.

I love that G1 Reference as well. As for the Double agent I was thinking maybe Shockwave, Now that would really be the some good stuff!

[Moonbase2]

It is nice having Megatron be a serious threat and not just comic relief (though I love G1 Megs too. The episode that had him losing his voice and Starscream declaring himself leader had me in stitches).

Did anyone else laugh at Starscream running into Megatron and Blitzwing and turning tail, only to fall dead to the ground moments later?

I was still laughing from his "Sorry you must have me confused with another Harrier Jet" line to laugh too much more at that.

Ohmy! How could I have forgotten that GEM of a line! So much funny in that episode to list each and every one of em!

Watched it again this evening when I woke up, to see if I missed anything while I viewed it at work.....Nope, I missed nothing. Was just as good the second go-round!

[Archanubis]

Starscream: Ugh, this day couldn't get any worse!
Megatron and Blitzwing decend in front of Starscream
Starscream: I stand corrected.
Starscream retreats, with Megatron and Blitzwing hot his exhaust
Megatron: STAAAAAAAAAAAARSCREEEEEEEEEEAM!!!
Starscream: Sorry, you must have me confused with some other Harrier jet.

Best lines in the series thus far.
