Optimus asked about the Decepticons on Earth and was disappointed to learn they still didn't believe there were any on Earth now. Meanwhile Blitzwing and Lugnut stole equipment from the Autobots that would allow Megatron to contact other Decepticons in space. Starscream saw them and decided to ambush them, but he keep getting shut down and was only kept alive by a piece of All Spark. It ended with Starscream facing the Autobots. Optimus managed to get stun cuffs on Starscream. Seeing that Decepticons were indeed on Earth, Ultra Magnus left Optimus and company with stun cuffs and a mission to gather the all Spark pieces while the Elite guard went to help the Autobots across the galaxy.

It sees all the Autobots are doing and decides to become one of them, but will this new bot, going by the name of Wreck Gar end up causing more problems than goodness?

Meet your Autobots:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/optimus-prime/optimus-prime-preview.jpg Optimus Prime: Optimus is the leader of the Autobots that have crashed on Earth. He attended the Autobot academy, but Ultra Magnus made him leader of a salvaging team since he believes Optimus isn't programmed to be a hero.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bumblebee/bumblebee-preview.jpg Bumblebee: Bumblebee may be a young bot, but he has speed and is willing to serve. He worries about having never been programmed for actual battles, but he believes his speed will allow him to overcome any obstacle.

[http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bulkhead/bulkhead-preview.jpg Bulkhead: Bulkhead is strong and ready to bust through must challenges with his strength, but he tends to get stuck on the simplest tasks from being too overaggressive. When he tries to adapt others strategies though, he finds he isn't of much use, so crushing everything in his path seems to be the way to go. Many people like to compare Bulkhead to Thing from Fantastic Four.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/ratchet/ratchet-preview.jpg Ratchet: Ratchet is a veteran from the previous war, and he's always ready to assist his friends when they are in danger. He has great repair capabilities, but he is also known as being senile.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/prowl/prowl-preview.jpg Prowl: Prowl is silent, but he is also deadly. He usually strikes without any warning. Prowl carefully watches everyone on Earth and is trying to adapt their most deadly skills, even if it's being as silent as a cat.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/wreck-gar/wreck-gar-preview.jpg Wreck Gar: Wreck Gar is a garbage barge that is brought to life by All Spark pieces. The problem is he has no training in terms of fighting, so he must rely on the other Autobots example and that of the humans who find him to see which way to go.

The Decepticons that are hiding:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/megatron/megatron-preview.jpg Megatron: This Decepticon leader has been watching the Autobots heroics as a head, but now the AllSpark has restored his body. He's ready to test his new powers against the Autobots and Starscream, but will he succeed at destroying all his enemies?

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/blitzwing/blitzwing-preview.jpg Blitzwing: Blitzwing's multi-personalities make him highly unpredictable. As a result, Megatron isn't sure he can trust him, but Blitzwing was the first Decepticon to put bounties on the heads of the Autobots and learn they were located on earth.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/lugnut/lugnut-preview.jpg Lugnut: This Decepticon may have a few lose bolts in his head, but he is highly loyal to Megatron. As a result, Megatron tries to give him locations to his whereabouts so he can be freed.

And, of course, the humans.
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/sari-sumdac/sari-sumdac-preview.jpg Sari Sumdac: Sari Sumdac is a young girl armed with a key powered by the All Spark. She's decided to help the Autobots train to become heroes. After her father's disappearance, Sari inherits the company for a short time, but a shocking revelation is about to change her life forever.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/isaac-sumdac/isaac-sumdac-preview.jpg Isaac Sumdac: Isaac Sumdac is the creator of Detroit's robot empire, but he has stolen technology from Megatron to do so. He assists the Autobots when he can in secret, but Megatron has kidnapped him for his knowledge in reverse engineering.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/captain-fanzone/captain-fanzone-preview.jpg Captain Fanzone: Captain Fanzone is the chief of Detroit's police, but he isn't a fan of robots. He questions what the Autobots true intents are, but he also recognizes they can help him when the situation calls for it.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/porter-c-powell/porter-c-powell-preview.jpg Porter C. Powell: After Issac's disappearance, Powell did some research and revealed that Sari Sumdac doesn't exist in any records. Using this research he took over Sumdac Corporation and is now doing everything he can to keep it prosperous while avoiding looking for the true leader.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/angry-archer/angry-archer-preview.jpg Angry Archer: This criminal believes he is a modern day Robin Hood, but instead of fighting for others, he fights only for himself. Earlier he was embarrassed by Optimus Prime, so now he has decided to get revenge on the Autobots.

Next week
Episode 21- "Velocity"
Bumblebee has always been known for his speed, but he's never been in an actual race until now.

[LordTerminal]

I've been waiting for this episode for while now. Finally, it's time for some Wreck-Gar Yankovich!

[Dudley]

I didn't know he first appeared in the Movie.
That's neat!

"Dare to be stupid!"

[Rook]

Did the woman in that couple say Spike?

Wreck Gar: "I am only good for one thing, GARBAGE!@!@!!!11"

[LordTerminal]

"Ah the universal greeting Ba-weep-gragna-weep-nini-bong."
"All hail Megatron! What's a Megatron?"
"I must deliver garbage to all!"
"I am Wreck-Gar. I dare to be stupid."

It's official. Wreck-Gar is now my favorite Autobot on this show. I really hope he comes back.

[Daxdiv]

Wreck-Gar is just... EPIC WIN. "I dare to be stupid." had me in stitches, along with everything else he did and say. Ratchet seems to be warming up a bit, after helping with the garbage dispute.

[creativerealms]

Wreck-Gar was great I hope he comes back soon.

[Ditto]

I'm pretty sure he'll be back, since he was seen alive at the bottom of the ocean in the end.

[HEATXZ]

XD very funny Transformers episode
Weird Al did a great job as Wreck-Gar

[jlaking]

Did the woman in that couple say Spike?

Yes and the woman's name was Carly as well.

[Dudley]

Wreck-Gar was kind of annoying, but he's still pretty awesome. Both me and my roommate laughed when he said "Dare to be Stupid." And easily defeated that Decepticon.

[R-Taco]

Oh dang, that really was Wierd Al? I thought it sounded like him, but I didn't think he'd actually be cast in the role.

[Tash]

I have a feeling that Wreck-gar's "stupid" line is going to be the most remembered quote in the series.

[LordTerminal]

I have a feeling that Wreck-gar's "stupid" line is going to be the most remembered quote in the series.

Either that or the universal greeting line: "Bah-weep-gragna-weep-nini-bong." Both are genius nods to G1 after all.

[AdamYJ]

Junk everywhere, Wreck-Gar, Weird Al, the Universal greeting, "I Dare to be stupid" . . .

So, this episode was mainly just to pay homage to the junk planet scene from the animated Transformers movie, huh?

Not a bad thing exactly, just a bit odd (though, I suppose that scene deserves an homage more than the Headmaster toy line did). I do like Wreck-Gar. He meant well. He was just really confused. I imagine he'll be back someday. He's not dead after all. He's just waiting for someone to find him like Soundwave is.

[bigddan11]

While Wreck Gar did steal the show, Ratchet had his moments as well. His reactions with the clamps at the beginning were hilarious, and his reactions at the end with the Mayor and Powell also ruled.

[Lavenderpaw]

Nice to see how everyone seems to enjoy a classic show being turned into a modern kiddie flick.

[veemonjosh]

Nice to see how everyone seems to enjoy a classic show being turned into a modern kiddie flick.

Nice to see how someone seems to fail at remember that G1 was just as much of a kiddie flick as this.

Except with, you know, this show being more consistantly fun.

[G1Ravage]

Heh, Spike and Carly.
