24 Hour Transformers Marathon
Season 2, Episode 6: The Immobilizer

Wheeljack has created “the wheeljack instant immobilizer”. He creates a hologram of Lazerbeak, and Ironhide blows the room up thinking it was the real thing. Nobody wants to hurt Ironhide’s feelings, so they forgive him.

Bumblebee is playing video games in an arcade, and a girl is totally hitting on him. It’s kind of gross. Her name is Carly. Spike and Bee shoot back to the Ark so they bring back some stuff for Wheeljack. They get pulled over by a cop, and Ravage shows up to bitch-slap Bee and leave some kind of tracer or something on Bumblebee. The Cop gives him a warning, and they leave.

Back at the Ark, Wheeljack gets ready to show off the immobilizer again. The Decepticons are watching the whole thing through the camera Ravage put on Bumblebee. Megatron says he’s gonna steal it. Prime tells them to move the tests outside.

Ironhide blasts at the Bumblebee-obsessed girl, who followed them to the tests. He apoligizes, and she whines, and by the time Ironhide is back, the Decepticons have taken control of the situation.

Break.

Megaturkey says to fire, and they do, and we got a Robot Fight, but there’s a force field, so nothing happens. Starscream yells at Megatron, for once, and goes up to get past the force field. Autobots Transform and there’s a for-real Robot Fight, but we miss most of it because it’s SO IMPORTANT that we see Spike and his stupid girlfriend Carly talk and almost get crushed by a tree, which Ironhide blocks.

Carly thinks it’s all her fault, and it is, and Megatron gets the immobilizer. Starscream can’t steer, and Megatron gives less than a shit. The ‘Cons get all wet, and take off after yelling at them.

The Autobots Transform and roll out back to HQ. Carly wants to come, and she does. Ironhide is too old for his shit, and retires. Prime misses him already. Carly tries to talk him out of it, but really just wants a tour of HQ. Manipulative shrew. Carly steals something off the shelf while on the tour.

Later, Carly takes off and Bumblebee won’t shut up. He fills my nightmares. Autobots Transform and roll to beat down Megatron, while Carly sneaks into Megatron’s underwater HQ. Now my roommate is talking and I can’t focus on the TV, and I just want to go home. Am I home? Oh god. Laserbeak catches her with the help of Soundwave.

Break.

Teletraan 1 picks up Laserbeak’s kidnapping of Carly, but really, she broke into his house, so she deserves whatever she gets. The other Autobots guilt-trip Ironhide into going in after her. Megatron righty assumes the Autobots are coming to rescue Carly. Ironhide runs into Bumblebee, and the two of them + Spike head to the ‘Cons HQ.

This part may be a hallucination. Sondwave tries to drown Carly, Megatron tells him to quit screwing around. Ironhide saves her. They rendezvous above-ground, Carly and Spike take off in Bumblebee, and Ironhide gets Immobilized by the stolen Immobray. Megatron taunts them from a conveniently-placed cliff, and Starscream fucks everything up by yelling and shooting. ROBOT FIGHT. Carly Has A Plan and uses Brawn to tunnel under the cliff. Jazz blasts some of that rock and roll music that he likes, which disrupts the Decepticons motor controls (why don’t they just do that EVERY TIME THEY FIGHT). Carly rewires the immobray. Rumble tries to Immobray Optimus, but the ray unfreezes the other Autobots. Megatron is sad.

Carly talks some jibber-jabber about positron flows or whatever, and she and Spike go for a “chocolate soda” whatever the hell that is.

Moral of the story: Megatron is sad inside and that’s why he is so mean, JESUS Starscream why are you like this, and Teletoon wants me dead.
