Troy stands up against bullying and he must fight a bigger bully who is in the form of Creepox. Can Troy defeat Creepox once and for all and show us all of us deserve respect and to stand up against those who oppress you?
This episode is basically a public service announcement for bullying featuring two Goseiger episodes merged into one. I have no problems with it because it made Megaforce a totally different TV series. Now to the specifics, the anti-bullying campaign in this episode is really well done. The way Troy stood up against bullies is really well made and for once, his acting is not that stiff. The way he stands up against bullies feels natural and I really like it. In addition, the way he influenced the bullied kid is also one of the strongest points in this episode. What's more, he has the guts to stand up against Creepox!
Before Creepox can eliminate him, Jake and Gia arrived just in time to save the kid before we proceed to the Goseiger footage. The fight scene is fantastic and the transition to the original footage kinda looked awkward in some instances. It's awkward because of the lighting after a few minutes the lighting is dark and after a few minutes, the lighting becomes brighter. This is the only problem this episode had, inconsistencies in regards the show's lighting.
It is then followed with Troy and Noah fighting Creepox who in a rampage. The Goseiger footage is quite good and I will talk more about it once I will review the episode where this scene was from. Now that Noah is down thanks to Creepox, the only one who is left standing is Troy. His unmorphed scene when he fought Creepox is fine I guess. If his acting is a bit better and if he didn't repeat the line, "Have you seen any tears?" in a really monotonous manner, this scene will be really fantastic.
Even if that is the case, they were able to make up for it with Troy's epic transformation scene and the bits of original footage for his duel with Creepox. The fight is really amazing and I will talk more about it once I review the source Goseiger episode. Now to my personal favorite in this episode, Vrak observing the fight scene is one of the best bits in this episode; the fact that he is wearing his "battle armor" in this scene while observing the fight strikes me as something amazing. It shows that he might be scheming something behind the back of Admiral Malkor in some way.
Now for the giant fight in this episode, I can't help but notice that he is once again wearing his silver armor. Oh well, not surprised since this episode is basically composed of two episodes of Goseiger compressed into a single episode and sprinkled with a lot of anti-bully campaign stuff. But that is not what is noteworthy about it, what's noteworthy is how they tried their best to hide Datas. So how they hide one giant sentient robot? Simple, they digitally removed Datas and comparing it with the original Goseiger footage; they did a great job in removing Datas.
Now for the times they failed to hide Datas, there are some seconds you can see Datas' hand before they will insert different giant fight footage from a different episode. Also, there are times you can see Datas' "face" when they have shots related to Ultra Gosei Great Megazord. Speaking of which, just like my complaint with the original Goseiger episodes, it is kinda early for them to debut an ultimate robot. I will talk more about it once I review the source Goseiger episode. At the end, Troy's words about bullying had an effect on the bullies who bullied him earlier in the episode. But the fight for bullies is not yet over now that they defeated one bully in the form of Creepox.
