TFtember: Quest for Survival

"Quest for Survival", the Transformers, Nov. 5, 1985


First appearance of Skids, for whatever that is worth. 

Yes, this is the 'robotic insect repellent' episode. 


The Insecticons have been shown to clone themselves in previous episodes, so that isn't the new thing here. Here they clone themselves into an all devouring horde, with the idea to eat all of Earth's materials and convert it all to Energon. Thankfully Bumblebee, Spike, and Cosmos find the aforementioned bug repellent. 

There's another problem too, as it seems some kind of robotic spore attached itself to Cosmos and is now growing at a crazy speed on Earth. Can they solve both problems before the Earth is either stripped bare or totoally overrun?


Not bad; the stakes are set pretty early and set high. There's scheming aplenty, even if Megatron does make some questionable choices.
