Roll For It

Plot Summary:

Megatron learns of a method to gain energy through the generation of antimatter (as discovered by a human lab) and kidnaps the young genius Chip Chase to obtain the formula. However, the antimatter energon cubes prove unstable, forcing Megatron to abandon them.

Best Dialogue:

No sparklers for this one.

Watch For...

Bluestreak is shown in robot mode in the closeups outside the power plant, but on the pullback shots we see Prowl in robot mode, and Bluestreak behind him as a car.

The security code for the lab is 295 when Reflector photographs it and 493 later on.

Soundwave speaks with Dr. Claw's voice. Cool.

Wheeljack's 'ears' flash red instead of blue at one point.

Comments:

Chip Chase is an interesting character; even today, we don't get to see very many handicapped characters in children's cartoons. Unfortunately for the story, he just...appears. And where did he learn to operate an F-15, let alone a Transformer? Especially given that there is no way a computer from 1984 should be able to interface with, let alone control, something as complex as a Transformer. (Are F-15s commonly stored with live ammo? I doubt it.)

Y'know, Skywarp doesn't need to shoot Spike. He could save the ammo by just tightening his grip a little. Alas for the chances we have lost...
