    First Encounter is a fantastic way of starting a new series of Transformers. The episode shows what the Transformers look like before they get Earth vehicles. First appearence of Megatron and Optimus Prime is a good way of introducing the Transformers, and brings out the side of them. This episode is a good way to get into Transfomers: Armada, compared to some of the other episodes. This episode also deserves more then a basic 10, it should be worth atleast a 10+. I would recommand this episode to be seen.moreless
