EarthSpark can’t decide how much to reference the past. One scene will feature a deep-cut homage to Beast Wars (a cameo by a protoform of Dinobot), and the next will have Optimus delivering a speech lifted almost verbatim from the 1986 movie. While fun for older fans, it sometimes overwhelms the new characters. The show shines when it focuses on the Terrans, not when it leans on “Remember this?”
