"War Dawn", the Transformers, December 25, 1985
We open with the Aerielbots taking on the Decepticon Seekers. It's rough going, as Starscream has hostages. He dumps them out, but thankfully Aerielbot leader Silverbolt saves them! Mostly by catching on his back, which seems to me would be instantly fatal but what do I know?
There is dissention in the ranks, however. Some of the Aerielbots are wondering if the Decepticons aren't right, or at the very least if humans are worth fighting for. On a mission to Cybertron, the Aerielbots blunder into a trap and end up sent a few million years in the past. Cybertron's past to be specific where they end up encounter a young bot named Orion Pax.
They also encounter Megatron and a few of his followers. Things get progressively worse from there, with Pax and his two friends being gunned down by Megatron. Thankfully Alpha Trion is here, and he has some ideas about repairing them into something a bit more...prime
Not bad, even if the animation is a bit wonky in parts. We get a proper origin for Optimus Prime, which had been strongly hinted at in "the Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2"
