TFtember: City of Steel

"City of Steel" the Transformers, October 17, 1985

Nearing the end, and oh boy. AKOM.

The Decepticons are in New York City. Are they seeing a Broadway show? Nope, they just stole the Empire State Building. Which doesn't seem to be that big a deal.

The Autobots arrive in Central Park and attack, but Prime gets captured as Megatron reveals his plan-turn New York into New Cybertron! They even rebuilt the Empire State Building into a Cybertronian fortress. 

Megatron, figuring he'd better get rid of Prime, has the Autobot leader cut apart. He keeps the head though. Got to have to something to gloat over, you know. He lets the Constructicons have the rest. 

The Autobots decide to find Prime first. Thankfully he has a homing beacon in all his parts, but what happens when his body has been rebuilt into a giant robot alligator? Gator wrestling, that's what happens. 

They manage to find most of Prime easily enough, save for his arm and his cannon, which has been placed on top of the fortress. 

Can Prime pull himself together? Will Megatron's actions have an impact on the city's rent?

Pretty nuts but AKOM manages to make it memorable but not for the reasons you think. Errors abound, dialogue is messed up and everthing feels more like a knock off.
