I was in a road accident and somehow ended up in a disco...

TV Review: G1 Ep. 34: "Microbots"

Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Being a Dork.

PREMISE Human archeologists dig up Megatron's old ship, the Nemesis (not that he actually remembers it.) Its power source - the Heart of Cybertron - could make Megatron TEH M0ST PWNAGE CYB3RTR0N EV4R, so naturally he steals it...um, back, and has it installed into his chest compartment and promptly becomes a Sith Lord. So naturally, Brawn, Perceptor and Bumblebee go on a Fantastic Voyage to disconnect and steal the Heart before Megatron can use it to destroy the Ark. On the way, Perceptor proves to Brawn that dorkage is an integral part of the Autobot team. And Thundercracker gets drunk and falls over.

"The Mayans didn't have spacecraft!"

Archeologist #2. Where the feck did he get his degree, Indiana Jones College?

We're wise to your tricks, David.
