Transformers Animated Transwarp Reviews

[GoktimusPrime]

That fembot is Red Alert. She is in Rodimus' team, and they should appear more in this season, along with Strika's team. They were both featured in the 24th issue of the Club's magazine if you have 'access' to a copy.

Red Alert? Wow, thanks.

Red Alert also appears in the comic book that comes with Safeguard.

Rodimus and Strika's teams were cool in their brief appearances.

Indeed! I thought Strika's voice sounded spot on. Either that's Patricia Drake or another actor who's done a really good imitation (right down to the accent). I also enjoyed seeing Spittor and Blackout whose power lives up to his name! Bring on more post-G1 homages!!

Megatron's use of Omega was excellent.

Indeed. His control over Omega Supreme reminded me of Beast Machines when Megatron ressurected himself with that Optimal Optimus body. And Starscream's reign over Omega Supreme was quite reminiscent of G2! Omega's internal defence claws reminded me of Unicron's internal defence system in TFTM.

I didn't like Perceptor's voice. Doesn't suit the look of the character.

I agree. I also felt like a simultaneous tribute and insult to Dr. Hawking. From a TF fiction POV it makes no sense to me... here's an Autobot scientist who can build Omega Supreme - the Autobots' ultimate weapon... yet he can't build himself a proper speech module??

Anyone else notice the refrence to season 3 intro of G1, (where blurr and wheelie are shown driving around the rings of some planet.)

Yes - I picked up the tribute right away, but it felt really silly to me. There's no way he could run like that in a zero-gravity environment. In an opening theme sequence you could suspend disbelief because there's all kinds of visually surreal/abstract things happening... but as part of the actual story... yeah no. Also, when Bumblebee used his battle-grade electro-stingers underwater, why didn't he also electrocute himself?

Also Oil slicks voice was cool but diffrent to what I expected, I hope he plays a bigger role later.

It was cooler than I expected.

Also dosn't the whole protoform thing remind anyone of "budding" from the marvel comics.

Not really. Tbh it just reminded me of the protoforms in Beast Wars, only that the protoform is way cuter and baby-like in Animated. The G2 "budding-out" TFs remind me more of Matrix-Supergirl in her protoplasmic state (like, eewww )

I'm also glad that Bulkhead isn't reverting back to being a simpleton/oaf now that they've established that he's more than just a mindless fool.
