"Sari, No One's Home"
When the episode opened with "looks like the Constructicons are up to their old tricks again", I was wondering how building things could be malicious. Did they build Architecture in the middle of a bridge? Tear up the roads in preparation of a road improvement project that might never end? Demolish some of those fugly steel Payless stores?
No, says the show, they are stealing motor oil and being alcoholics.
... That's different, though I suppose yes, it does qualify as "old tricks" for Mix and Scrapper.
ALCOHOLIC VAGRANTS!
Yes, show, yes, I get it. Ohai, is that Prime being a dick to Sari again? Despite her key being incredibly useful for, oh, finding people who've got Allspark energy all over them like the various robots brought to life by Allspark slivers?
Why, yes, Prime is!
Sure, gotta protect the little girl from the two-story robots. But, you know, given the genre, she's never in any serious danger from the Transformers. Ever. So it's hard for me to believe that Optimus was doing the right thing here, even when he was.
Blah, blah, blah, Sari is a bad girl, Bumblebee is leaking like a sieve, Constructicons follow his leaked oil back to Autobase...
Yes, nice freak-out there, Sari-girl. Hey, did you even listen to what they were saying and notice that they were still amnesiac? No, accusing them of still being Decepticons shows you didn't. Suck.
Oh, look, Megatron has dispatched Blitzwing to win the Constructicons over with oil! Hm, I wonder how that's going to go. Little girl who yells at them and attacks them vs. big jet guy who hands them some oil and goes 'come hang with me and my boss back at our place'.
Fortunately, Blitzwing is distracted by spanking all five Autobots at once. Bitchin'.
Meanwhile, the Constructicons and Sari are reprising a movie I liked much better when it was a small boy vs. two house-robbers. The boy was much better at setting clever traps.
At the end of the episode, the Constructicons are terrified of Autobase and Sari, still amnesiac, and walk right into Blitzwing's waiting arms. Also, Scrapper has more characterization. Also, also, the only reason the Autobots didn't lose someone is because Megatron ordered Blitzwing to stop dorking around and get back to his mission.
Meanwhile, the Autobots... Got beat on by Blitzwing.
You suck today, Autobots. SUCK.
