Dinbot Island Part II, featuring the Dinobots, Perceptor, Beachcomber, 
and Warpath.

The Decepticons continue to suck energy out of the natural phenomena of 
Dinobot Island, causing temporal warps to appear all over. The Autobots
must repel ice age wooly mammoths in Oregon, exploration-age pirate ships 
in the Atlantic, and golden age cattle rustlers in California. The 
Dinobots escape the tar pits and begin to round up dinosaurs for an 
assault, demonstrating very controlled use of their powers. THe other 
Autobots arrive via jet-pack and are losing the fight until the Dinobots 
arrive. The Decepticons are driven away, and the Dinobots are allowed to 
remain at the Ark.

My brain isn't working this morning (a sure sign of writer's block) so 
here are the highlights. A beautiful scene occurs at the end where you 
see the Autobots flying away from head-on. Also there are some impressive 
transform animations, including those of Blitzwing, Perceptor, and 
Megatron, all very close to the actual toy transformation. THe only 
downside to this episode is the obvious commercial-like attitude they 
took towards introducing the new Autobots.

Toys they should re-issue:
Perceptor, in laboratory-grade chrome and black :)
Swoop
Sludge
Sunstreaker
Sideswipe
Red Alert
Any triple changer

"I hope his insurance covers elephant damage..."

"NO! I saw you perish in the tar pits--" BLAM
"You wrong! And you ugly, too."

KKC, still waiting for his 19 new transformers and his new Necronomicon 
to come in the mail. Hope the former isn't too heavy to carry, hope the 
latter hasn't caused any postmen to go insane...
