"The Immobilizer", the Transformers, September 24, 1985
Wheeljack is showing off his latest invention-the Immobilizer! Sadly, while demonstrating its use, Ironhide mistakes a nearby hologram for the real thing and blows up some of the base. Spike and Bumblebee are tasked to get the needed parts to repair it.
While taking a small break in the arcade, Spike has an awkward meet cute with a gal named Carly. The pair leave but get stopped by a cop. Ravage attacks, but Spike manages to drive the cat off. He fails to see the tiny spy camera that got planted on Bumblebee.
They decide to have a demonstration outside, but thanks to some shenanigans Wheeljack ends up getting shot with the device and turned immobile. Also Carly tries to sneak into the base, gets caught by Ironhide, and manages to talk the older bot out of retiring when he blames himself for the Autobots getting ambushed by the Decepticons.
Megatron and co. manage to steal the Immoblizer, but a river washes them away. Wheeljack comes to, but there are bigger problems. Seems Carly stole a grenade! Why?
To blow up the Decepticons of course. Girl has some goals, you have to respect that.
So with a rescue party on the way, can they rescue Carly in time?
Carly would go on to be bigger part of the show, somewhat. I don't recall her being quite this competent after this episode. She's also an MIT student, which does raise some questions.
