Star Force: The Great AMAKEN Panic

Plot Synopsis
Dubius's machine is attracting thousands of EM-Viruses to the city, and AMAKEN labs. MegaMan is completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of them, and figures his only choice is to destroy the machine. Unfortunately just before he can do that, Cancer Bubble follows the viruses to the machine and jumps in front of MegaMan's blast to protect it. Cancer figures he can use the machine to destroy the Earth, and turns up the power projecting more viruses!

The Satella Police start taking on the viruses in the city, and eventually Harp Note shows up to help MegaMan. Unfortunately, even with her help, MegaMan is still pinned down. Cancer is about to finish them off and turns up the machine even more, which causes it to blow up in his face! The viruses then quickly lose interest and start to leave, while Cancer panics and runs from MegaMan who is about seconds away from blasting Cancer to all hell.

The Satella Police arrive at AMAKEN to find whose responsible, and Dubius's admits blame. Boreal explains about the machine and how it was an accident, so Bob Copper has the Satella Police commission Tom Dubius and AMAKEN to start working on better EM-Virus deleting devices.

Critique
Decent episode with some alright humor with a bit of a ridiculous ending. This episode hits just about the average level of quality for this show, which is usually pretty good, although the action could have been a bit better. Dubius's side plot resolves nicely, and I like how Bob Copper immediately assumes MegaMan was responsible for all the problems and points fingers at him as soon as he sees him. The majority of this episode takes place in a single room, and I think it's interesting seeing MegaMan's battle card animations interrupted by him getting tackled.

Geo also got a new animation from the Wave Scanner, which I think they carry over into the Star Carrier later, and we don't see the Transer on Geo for the rest of the series.

Rating: Thumbs up!
