This is Transformers volume 11:The Decepticon Possession. This video contains the following episodes of the American Transformers cartoon show: Ghost in the Machine and A Burden Hardest to Bear! This is one video you got to pick up if you like Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime! In the first episode, StarScream returns as a ghost to cause havoc on Galvatron and the Decepticons. StarScream's Ghost possess Scourge and he uses him to reacivate the Head of Unicron! Unicron makes a deal with Starscream. He must do three labors for him in order to give Starscream life again.The First task is to steal the Eyes of Metroplex and Trypticon. The second task is to steal Trypticon and remove his Trasformation cog to install it in Unicron's head. Next and final task is to connect his head to the planet Cyberton. (This episode was not the same as it was in the Movie, the late Orsen Welles is trufully missed, However, the late Roger C. Camel did fine performance as Unicron.)Will Starscream and Scourge get away with helping Unicron get resurrected? Will StarScream Live again? Will Rodimus Prime and Galvatron be able to stop either of them from completing their tasks? This is also the very last episode that the late Chris Latta did the voice of Starscream! The next episode is A Burden Hardest to Bear. Rodimus Prime is burden with the chain of command. He feels that their are too many responsibilities on his shoulders. Ironically, he loses a the matrix in a race with two Stunticons, Deadend and Wildrider. Rodimus becomes Hot Rod again! Later, the Matrix is taken to Charr, and Galvatron tries to activate the power of the matrix with his fusion cannon. But the ghost of the Ancient Autobots leaders appear instead and tells Gavtron to return the Matrix (Optimus Prime's appears in this scene for a few seconds!)Galvatron gives the Matrix to Scourge and tells him to Destroy it! But instead Scourge puts the Matrix in his Chest and becomes possessed by it. Then, He takes control of the Decepticon forces. Galvatron and Cyclonus are knocked unconscience. The Decepticons attack Tokyo, Japan with Scourge leading the Assualt. Hot Rod realizes it is his destiny to lead the Autobots and takes the Matrix back from Scourge. He becomes Rodimus Prime again! Galvatron and and Cyclonus find Scourge and punish him. The Decepticons retreat! Rodimus rolls to his fellow Autobots and tells Kup that he found the missing part of himself. Rodimus Prime is refering to the matrix. A Must see video! Good for all Children of the 1980s Generation!

Another reviewer will have to supply the title of the first episode on this cassette, which escapes me. Suffice it to say that in the story in question, Starscream's ghost returns and possesses Scourge in an effort to--, oh, well, do what Starscream does best: irritate the audience. Sniff. Death does NOT become everyone's favorite rotten egg. Look for appearances by Trypticon, Metroplex, and Unicron. The second episode is "The Burden Hardest to Bear," my personal favorite out of all the Transformer episodes. Rodimus Prime loses the Matrix of Leadership while protecting Japan, thus reverting to Hod Rod. The beauty of this episode is that it actually does some character development, albeit only with two characters (watch the episode if you want to know who the other one is!!). Four stars to Rhino for including this episode.
