"Fight or Flee", the Transformers, Oct. 15, 1986
In which we met Sandstorm for the first time, again.
Cyclonus and Scrouge are chased through space and after a pitched battle find themselves on the planet Paradron. What is Paradron? Paradise as best as they can tell; it's a perfect mirror of Cybertron back in its golden age and populated entirely by Transformers like themselves only pacifists.
Figuring they hit the jackpot they quickly call Galvatron and soon the Decepticons are running rampant. Sandstrom, a young native, is the only one to see any issues with that.
When the Autobots finally arrive, can they save the planet?
Yeah, this was clearly supposed to be the introduction of Sandstorm but we met him earlier in "Starscream's Ghost". The Autobots don't come across any better here, as they decide the planet is far too gone and opt to blow it up, even with Rodimus cracking wise about it. Starting to see why fans prefer Optimus to be in charge.
