TFtember: Roll for it

  "Roll for It", The Transformers, October 13 1984. 

Picking up from last episode, Megatron is still stuck on Cybertron and Starscream is calling the shots on Earth. The latter is finding that wanting to be leader and being effective are two different things, while the former is preparing to head back to Earth. 

Meanwhile, Spike and his best pal Chip Chase take Bumblebee to Chip's lab. They are attacked on the way home and Megatron is quite interested in Chip's work, namely the production of antimatter. 

Lot of action but the biggest thing to happen is Chip gets kidnapped and forced to work for the Decepticons. Can he escape in time?

So for this we get a good look at Chip Chase. From some production notes there was always going to be an older brother figure, so from that we get Chip. He's pretty much your typical 80's nerd plus a wheelchair user, which funny enough isn't used that much in terms of the story, or at least not this episode. No endless lessons on the handicapped. 

Still early in the series so we're still introducing more characters with everyone getting some little bits of what they could do.
