Decent story-moving stuff. Plenty that needed to be done, but few surprises because of it.

About three/three-and-a-half out of five.

Really good fun - some sweet Easter eggs to be found as well.

Give in, Scraplet. He's an unstoppable force always scratching at our subconcious.

DECEPTICONS FOREVER!

Spittor is the new Waspinator btw, he's been seemingly smashed twice now.

I likey. Not quite as much as Infiltration. Feels very true to the spirit of the show, and I hope to see some Agenda/Nemesis type big risks.

I prefer it to Infiltration.

Storywise, it really feels like an episode of the cartoon. In fact, if there had ever been a spin off Beast Wars cartoon, it would've looked like this.

Art is blimin' amazing. Lovely detail in the colouring too.

Is anyone gonna step up to lead the Maximals? Razorbeast can't really go toe to toe with Magmatron can he?

So has Drill Bit.

edit - it's set in 70,000 BC. I always assumed it was more like 1 million years?
