"Dinobot Island part 1" the Transformers, September 25, 1985
Last cartoon episode for the year, and get ready next month for Horror Hosts and Horror Countdown.
Bumblebee and Powerglide are on patrol when they find an uncharted island filled with dinosaurs! They report back to base, and it is brought up that maybe the Dinobots would be happier on their own island.
The Dinobots, after nearly wrecking the base, agree and leave. Ravage overhears this and soon the island is being spied on by Laserbeak.
While the Dinobots train, Laserbeak reports back to Megatron. He figures such an island would be rich with energy he could use, so an assault is planned.
Spike and Bumblebee, meanwhile, are back in the city when a barbarian riding a wooly mammoth appears in the middle of the street and knocks the buildings around him down, burying Spike and Bumblebee in the rubble.
When Megatron attacks, he kicks off a stampede of dinosaurs, who end up knocking the Dinobots into a tar pit.
Can they escape in time?
Overall good. Donald F. Glut really sells us on the idea of a dinosaur island and no one really questions it. More characters are introduced, and their powers showcased, which is nice.
