Transformers Animated Se3Ep11 "This is Why I Hate Machines" discussion

I love the way anti-organic sentiment is widespread amongst the Autobots

Yeah, I thought that was funny too. I liked the way Flareup told Grandus to step on Fanzone - reminds of G1 when Bruticus first saw a human (Ethan Zachary) and was like, "Eww! Can I squish it?!" The scene of Fanzone drooling over Rattletrap and sucking it back in seriously grossed me out... yuck!

great episode, purple shockwave was pretty cool and I like jazz intresting(if not slow) character development and it's nice to seem him join the cool autobots

IMO most of Shockwave's greatest moments occured under his "Longarm" colours.

Yeah, Jazz has always been portrayed as being a loyal yet intelligent soldier. He clearly has a moral conscience but at the same time he's not one to defy orders or overstep his bounds. Animated Jazz pretty much lives up to G1 Sideswipe's motto: "I don't break the rules, I bend them - a lot." only with more morally altruistic motivations. So it makes sense that he would've done this. Was it slow? I don't know... I guess he never really had any real compelling reason to side with Optimus' mob before. I think until Sentinel became acting Magnus, Jazz was able to justify working under Sentinel's command of the Elite Guard. After all, Sentinel himself was answerable to Ultra Magnus. But now Sentinel wields executive command - so I guess Jazz feels that he's able to do more good on Earth with Optimus' crew rather than remaining on Cybertron under Sentinel's reign.

That was fantastic! The credits do call him Rattlerap though. Fanzone's nose must be huge. The guy can stick 2 of his fingers in one nostril! I can understand Rattletrap being scared, I wouldn't like anyone dangling a loogie over me either.

Awesome cameos, squealed with delight at Fort Max! Oh and the Powerglide walking by just after Fanzone appears on Cybertron!

Loved the way Sentinel Prime has turned Cybetron into a Post WWII style "Reds under the Bed" paranioa era of 1950's America! I got a little buzz out of that!

"Maybe even your own model" -S.P

Awesome stuff. This season is fast becoming my favourite run of TF cartoons! I hope they bring it back after the movies!!!

I Approve of this Post

Yes I also do want/hope they come up with a whole new season once the movie season is over. Although the toys have indeed been not to everyone's liking TF Animated is making its own indelible mark with its homages to G1 but at the same time a mark that is absolutely its own flavor that has been so acceptable to the fandom. It has better quality in continuity, nostalgia, character handling, appeal to adults and kids, fans and Im pretty sure even nonfans and no (well, not much) irritating human backup characters unlike the failed miserable attempts with Armada/Energon, ick! I still can't get my head around how the parents of those useless kids allow they're children to gallivant around with giant robots all over the planet and beyond.

Was it just me, or when Rattletrap started talking you can hear this "blip" sound which sounds like the Maximals' comlink signal from Beast Wars?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Hmm, not sure there gok, will have to watch it again.


HURRAH!

Just checked, I think the noise is just ehad movements. It doesn't coincide with speech regularly but at the start of the scene there are water droplets. Well maybe not water perse, but liquid drop noises

Well no one is saying, yes or no. I think that it might be a continuation of the series. Really. I think that it'll rebranded though.

Maybe as Transformers: Neo or something.

We'll all find out soon enough, "Endgame" is upon us.
