A 60 minute “TV movie”
that is set after the events of the last episode of Season 3. This is unique in the fact that it is set
completely on Cybertron and humans do not even make an appearance here. The plot is that Megatron is revived and
controlled by Unicron to which he then tries to destroy Cybertron. There is a significant focus upon the
Predacons as well, namely new Predacons make an appearance. While the first half hour was fairly boring
and formulaic, there was a lot of dialogue and narrating, once Unicron pulls
his ace in the hole, it gets quite good.
The climax fights and showdowns did not disappoint. The movie also throws in a few twists in
regards to allegiances of various characters, some better than others. While this is the “true” ending, some elements
may feel unusual, especially the way Megatron reacted. You would not have thought that he would have
spoken what he did. The ending was emotional;
a sacrifice that you could see coming but still impacts you.
