I also liked Hotrod stepping up to command the ark without actually becoming Rodimus or too serious. I can\'t help but wonder why cyberverse has lots of Ironhide look-a-likes but no actual Ironhide though.
Not bad though I hoped Prime would be out of commision longer than 1 episode. Plus I was ejoying his trippy journey into the Matrix. I like how they handled temporarily putting Hotrod in charge, rather than being chosen to replace Optimus as the new Prime he simply had a plan and stepped up to fill in the leadership position that was needed in the moment. I\'m also glad to see we\'re heading back to Cybertron. I am glad this show steered away from human interaction despite being on Earth. The episodes are not long enough as it is and adding humans into the mix would\'ve distracted from the primary conflict. I\'m still not sure how I feel about Ratchet\'s voice. Hopefully he\'ll feature more prominantly in some episodes soon. I also find it strange we haven\'t seen Ironhide at all, hopefully that changes soon. I really would like to see more characters recieve attention like Arcee who we haven\'t really seen much of. I\'m a little disapointed we didn\'t see Wheeljack at all this episode, even if only in the background. I did like how on the nose they were with Red 5 who seemed to be a direct homage to both Star Wars and Star Trek.
I got the Star Wars reference, but I also thought it was a Star Trek redshirt joke as he was the first to “die”
