TF Animated Ep22 - Rise of the Constructicons

[The_Damned]

well it is out, just waiting so i can watch it :(

Same here.

Until FanTransformers puts up a better torrent or ThotThor puts up his own torrent, I'll won't be watching it til' then. :)

The KNiGhT rip seems ok quality wise.

As for the ep: it was kinda pointless again. It didn't really go anywhere and the humour didn't work for me.

Seems weird only having 2/6 Constructicons as well.

Interesting episode.

Poor bulkhead.

Well,
a good-quality episode has taken the place of the craptacular one. :D




First thing's first,
It really feels like it's lacking something with only 2 Constructicons. There needs to be 6 of them - Couldn't they have given all 6 of them the same construction worker-personalities? Sigh...

Then again, what's with the wolf whistles & constant oil chugging? For me personally, it started to get old real fast.

So are they suggesting Mixmaster & Scrapper are like Wreck-Gar in that they're trying to find their way in the world?

In reflection, this episode was probably one of the best building-block episodes so far (no pun intended :p).

I'd give it a...

7 out of 10. :)

that was boring.
Especially didn't like stereotyping of construction workers.

[MV75]

I liked how there were only two of them, and that the green/purple vehicles at the start were not the ones to become the transformers.

It was good because it allowed character in both of them. Sure it was stereotyped stuff, but it's all they've been around being construction vehicles, they were hardly used in medical labs or libraries or anything "intellectual". And back to characters, they had personalities. Go back and look at past constructicons, they're souless cookie cutter drones with no individuality only there to form devastator.

I gotta admit, I had a chuckle every time they wolf-whistled when a little car went past! :D:D

They didn't seem to bother me as much as they bothered other people. It was a nothing episode, but I thought it was fairly entertaining! I think it set up some interesting ideas about the Space Bridge...

Sari's hair got cut off...wonder if it grows back by next episode!!
*haha*

[The_Damned]

yea i enjoyed this ep. quite amusing, feel sorry for bulkhead though.

[griffin]

The thing that I find odd about this episode, is the title. It sounds ominous or a prelude to something climactic, and yet it was a bit misleading. I was expecting from the title to have the Constructicons be menevolant and evil, but they were just stupid.
I fear I'm beginning to see a pattern for the way the show introduces most of its new characters - Create them from scratch with shards of the Allspark, and they end up lacking intellegence like a new-born.
I hope we don't get too many more 'newborn' TFs from the Allspark, and instead see more TFs that already exist.

Not a bad episode.

I liked the misdirection at the beginning of the episode with the Purple and green construction vehicles turning out to be nothing but normal vehicles.

I quite like the "newborn" transformer idea, it kind of makes sense that these characters know next to nothing since they were only created moments before, but since we have had 3 in such a short amount of time, more of the same would be overkill. I'm not sure I liked the whole part of them knowing that they were plain vehicles before the "bright blue light" inferring that they were somewhat aware when they were normal vehicles.

Constructicons were okay, they were intelligent, yet naive and stupid at the same time. Their intelligence corresponding to their field and nothing else was a good choice, instead of making them super intelligent like their G1 namesakes. Didnt mind the very stereotypical portrayal of construction workers, but I was expecting more focus on the Bulkhead drinking aspect.

Nice to have minimal Bumblebee and Sari for a change, and Blitzwing/Lugnutz is always good.

best line: "hey he's our Dipstick"

I loved Mix and Scrapper, I though they were very funny. It seems they picked up RID Sideburn's habit of chasing attractive automobiles.

I don't think we need to have six constructicons. That was G1. I like that Animated homages/reprises characters from G1 but it would be less interesting if it was exactly the same.

+1!

Though I did find that a letdown it was a decent episode. I particularly liked Bulkhead's place in all of it. Big heart for the big guy. I thought it was quite funny too. Didn't mind it at all.

I kind of agree w/ you on the baby-formers too Griffin. I understand it as a gimmick but it's frustrating to get TFs with so little personality.

[Paulbot]

The Constructicons have personaility... well a kind of stereotyped personality anyway. They like chasing after good looking machines and drinking (a lot of) fuel
