At last, we have an episode with ABSOLUTELY NO MAIN SIX. Instead, we concentrate on Grogar and his Legion of Doom ripoff. I was apparently not that far off with my trust fall joke in what he's been putting the three through. However, it's time to get to work as he has a job for them.
Spoiler
Apparently this Grogar has a bell of Adamantium as it's indestructible and Gusty the Great had to hide it. Now that he has underlings, he's sending them to retrieve it. We get to see the three's abilities, some bonding. In the end they actually build a friendship and work together to get the bell. However, the Starscream genes are strong in these three as they claim they failed to get the bell while they actually hide it for their own purposes.
I can't help but think of the Season 2 episode of Beast Wars where Tarantulus, Black Arachnia, and Quick Strike found an energon cube cache and claimed it had been destroyed when really Tarantulus was using it for himself.
An improvement over last week's (which isn't difficult) but....
Spoiler
1. The villains were only remotely enjoyable when they weren't arguing or when they were making fun of the Mane Six.
2. Cozy Glow is certainly not my favorite of the three.
3. The story behind Grogar's bell was at least somewhat interesting.
4. Wasn't thrilled about Cozy Glow's song.
5. The ending is at least promising but I'm not holding my breath given we've seen things in teasers before that didn't pan out like what Starlight did in that one episode that was like a tornado of magic.
I thought it was a fun episode that made me smile

I;m happy the 3 villains are workjing together and chrysalis was great, but it wasn't gusty that took his bell, it was northstar that destroyed it....oh well XD

It's hilarious that Gusty's only notable role in that story arc was winking herself to Tambelon OFF SCREEN. Yet here she's the big the hero of it all. I think this makes it clear this has nothing to with the actual G1 media.
Grogar also doesn't have his city in this either. Just the painfully obvious rock formation. Again, they are essentially the Legion of the Doom for ponies. I half expect a narrator to break in saying "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom."
I really enjoyed this one. :)
Spoiler
I loved the song and how Chrysalis and Tirek took over the song from Cozy and Cozy complaining that it was her song. It was fun seeing more of Chrysalis abilities and her transforming in to different creatures. I also enjoyed seeing the 3 learning to trust each other and being surprised when they actually followed through on their promises when they could have easily broken them.
I do wonder why there's a guardian of the mountain when no one is able to reach the summit alone unless Rusty Bucket is a descendant of a pony that Gusty gave the task of guarding the bell.
I'm assuming no one has been to Tartarus since Grogar freed Tirek and Cozy so no else knows that they aren't still trapped there?
