Episode 03: The Web.

Cheetahs and Spiders and Rats, OH MY! Pull up a chair and join us for a spell. Is there anything that Cheetor can't mess up? Will Eric ever get Tarantulas' name right? Does Dale rewrite the endings of all of his favorite movies? What the scrap are all these bots eating?

Bring your straw because Tarantulas is providing the drinks!  

This week, the first of the character development episodes gives us a closer look at Cheetor's near-death experience, Rattrap has a heart of gold, why it's ok to be suspicious of Dinobot and Optimus is SO credulous. Meanwhile, what's the deal with Tarantulas, and why does he hate that rat?

In other news, a glimpse of Cybertron in Cheetor's fever dream - featuring Beast Wars' first appearance of Starscream!
