Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Megatron's insistence that Bruticus will fire the orbit disruptor cannon does not make sense: if there was need for Decepticon combiner, Megatron could use either Devastator or Menasor, who are more reliable than Bruticus. As things turned to be, even small primitive robot like BOT could operate the cannon effectively - so there was no real need for Bruticus or any of the combiners. Thus Megatron or any of the other Decepticons could fire the cannon as well. more

Quotes:

[the Combaticons enter a city, frightening the people]
Onslaught: Combaticons, transform!
[the Combaticons transform. Brawl and Swindle bump into each other]
Swindle: Heh-hey, watch it, Brawl!
Brawl: You two-faced pipsqueak! Stay behind me! Huh!
[Brawl shoves Swindle, knocking him over. The Combaticons advance down the street]
Onslaught: Combaticons, form Bruticus!
[the Combaticons combine into Bruticus. People run away in fear. Then, a shot hits Bruticus in the chest, blowing him to million pieces. Defensor, who fired that shot, appears. Swindle, who somehow survived the explosion without a scratch, appears from under yellow board with wheels among the debris]
Swindle: Defensor!
[Defensor fails to notice Swindle. He turns back and addresses the people on the street]

Having a transformer episode with a few combiners in it, seems like an awesome idea. But this episode is one of the worst of the entire season.

Swindle is ordered to find and reassemble the combaticons after they had been destroyed by Defensor. Meanwhile two boys in a science class are forced to get a blue ribbon in a science fair or else they will get an F in the class. (Yeagh what I said really happens in this episode.) So they build a robot and unknowingly use Brawls personality chip and create a robot that is destructive. Meanwhile meanwhile Megatron plans to knock the moon away so he can use the oceans as a power source. (yeagh that really happens also) This episode is dumb. The humans are building a robot and the science they use seems way to advanced for any students. Also why in the name of god would a teacher threaten to fail students if they did not get a blue ribbon? Defensor is cool, but he barely is in the episode and this I think is his first appearance in a cartoon and he is not showcased enough. Also Bruticus is in it, but he does absolutely nothing other than just stand around like a moron. The action at the end was awful, and it is really disappointing how Bruticus and Defensor do not battle at the end.

One of the worst episodes. Do not watch this one.
