Fight or Flight, featuring Sandstorm

In combat with the Aerialbots, Cyclonus and Scourge slip through a 
space-time distortion(tm) and end up on Paratron, a world full of Autobot 
refugees from the Fourth Cybertronian War. Led by Sandstorm, the triple 
changer, they are unable to prevent Sickie and Scuzzy from taking over 
and bringing Galvatron and his crew. Sandstorm escapes, and summons 
Rodimus Prime's help. After a prolonged battle and reconnoitter 
operation, Rodimus blows up the planet and takes the Autobots home to 
Cybertron.

Lots of little meaningless nitpicks. For starters, you see a ton of 
female Autobots on Paratron, so we can assume that this is where 
everybody went when Shockwave assumed that all the females were extinct. 
But they keep referring to their forefathers who originally came here. 
Are they all dead? Why? And even if they are, does that mean that the 
Bots here now have no memory of leaving Cybertron? How were they created. 
Is there a Vector Gamma in the middle of Paratron or something?

What the dickens is Bruticus doing manning a perimeter scanning monitor 
for? And since when has he been so lucid? (perhaps someone slipped him 
some AUM.) 

Does it strike anyone else as odd that Rodimus decides to blow up 
paratron without so much as a "May we?" to Sandstorm, who seems to be the 
de-facto leader of the people there? Kind of Captain Kirk-like to me.

For completists, this episode wrapped up with the little minute vingette 
that they did at the end of post-movie episodes. This one featured the 
history of the Quintessons, as per cartoon continuity. Flipping out 
again, do you think that Claster is rushing through the post-movie eps in 
an effort to get to Victory or GodMaster series? Will they broadcast the 
rebirth next week? I'd like to see them get through a few more pre-movie 
stories, but I'd like to see some "new" stuff as well.

"Hey! I'm stuck up here!"
"Everybody's got to be somewhere."

"Before a society can move forward, everyone must agree on the rules.
Now KNEEL!"

"What do you suppose that could be?"
"It looks like an Autobot raiding party."
"I know what it is, you idiot!"
"You did ask..."

"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Alright, gimme the bomb."

"I think subtlety is lost on the Predacons..."

KKC, needs to write two papers and study for a midterm. And here he is 
writing about TF's because it's more fun. Hey, I'm writing every day now, 
I can put this in my Writer's Notebook for JOU3330, Cool!
