TFtember: The Ultimate Doom, Part 2

 "The Ultimate Doom, Part 2", the Transformers, November 10, 1984

Picking up from the last episode, Cybertron is now in Earth's orbit. The Decepticons have the upper hand and actually drive the Autobots off, Sparkplug going with them. 

Things are getting worse. Dr. Arkeville needs more slaves, which Megatron promises. Spike and Bumblebee get attacked by Laserbeak but the other Autobots manage to drive the Decepticon off. 

Dr. Arkeville is getting annoyed with the Decepticons using his slaves as human shields, but Megatron reminds the doctor of their deal, namely he'll get Earth when Megatron gets his energy. Of course, there won't be much of Earth left after that, but there's no need to let him know that. 

Things really get worse, with the volcano surrounding the Ark going active. A small strike team is assembled, with Spike going on to try and figure out how to free his dad. Lucky he can ask him directly, as Sparkplug finds them as soon as they land and sounds the alarm...

Not bad, but honestly it feels less like a chapter and more cut scenes from Part 1. Sparkplug is still hypnotized and Cybertron's being in orbit doesn't seem to be causing that much destruction except when it does.
