#so they devoted 1/7th of the runtime to this plotline

This post contains spoilers for Earthspark Season 3.

I liked the addition of Prowl and his arc of initially being suspicious of Megatron, but eventually trusting him.

However, I do find this character arc confusing given that in the very first episode of Season 3, the writers go out of their way to break up Bumblebee and Breakdown's friendship. (Or relationship, or whatever.) Bumblebee hatches a plan to break Breakdown out of the containment bubble but Breakdown, unprompted, betrays him to Shockwave.

But why? Why is the moral of this episode "Don't trust any Decepticons!", when they're going to have Prowl come along and learn "You can trust some Decepticons"?
