TF Animated Ep14 - Nature Calls

[kup]

I hate pointless G1 nods that have absolutely no reason for being there in the world aside from being just that, a nod to fans. They serve no purpose to the story so I find that underwhelming.

I hated such nods in Beast Machines and I am hating them here for the most part.

I love the pointless G1 nods. But this episode was weak, barely disguised filler. Now that Megs body is found things should heat up, so as crap as it is this episode served some small purpose.

Going on from what Sofaman said, G1 nods are nice goodies for older fans, but they're just Easter Eggs and you simply cannot run episodes on them. And to be fair, the writers have never tried to run any eps based on such G1 nods. Sparkplug and the Constructicon-esque mining machines were only briefly seen in the beginning of the ep, so the reference was brief and it didn't overwhelm the episode.

however, oni loved the last part which leads on to the next one!!! am EXCITED.....

...you watched this ep with an oni? That's scary!

But yeah, the last few seconds of the episode is the only part that's worth watching.

Basically this story has a nice prologue (G1 homage) and good epilogue, but the rest of it is just crap.

I'm sick of these non-Decepticon episodes.

Non-Decepticon villains are okay if they're written well. Decepticon villains can suck too if they're poorly written.

G1 had some neat non-TF villains such as Death's Head, the Mecannibals and everyone's favourite hottie... Josie Beller




aka CIRCUIT BREAKER!

You gotta respect a human supervillain who's able to take on UNICRON.

I liked the space barnacles better than the spores.

When Sari was having trouble starting the furnace with her key I thought that the writers were pushing toward another resolution that didn't involve the key (something that I praised in the last episode). I was hoping that Sari would find an alternative resolution to the plot complication... but alas she just got mad, smacked her key around and it worked. *sigh*

I guess you missed it then.

And bumblebee, while still a brat, was more tolerable this time around.

yea i liked this ep i liked bumble bees antics, thought it was funny when he was on the mine cart track

[autobreadticon]

i really liked it for the fact it was enjoyable and had good humour. i like how its more to do with the unique personalities of transformers. we see that this episode links with upcoming episodes. Hopefully when Megatron comes into the scene he doesnt ruin the fun factor of the series.

[GoktimusPrime]

Bumblebee had one or two good one-liners... that was about it. Personality wise, as I said before, there was no character development in this series - they came off as being more like terribly clichéd caricatures rather than characters. *sigh*

This series is still failing to engage me at an adult level. (-_-)

[i_amtrunks]

Bumblebee was tolerable for a change, while Prowl remains the best written and voice acted character in the entire show (well maybe except for Fanzone ).

POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW


I was expecting Constructicons to be the big bad this episode, but I guess since they are "attached" to Megatron's body we may see them in an upcoming episode.


Next 2 episodes will see the return of Megatron, who I am guessing will be vastly weakened, otherwise the series would end with the obliteration of the Autobots. After that the Cybertronian Autobots should arrive, so it seems the series will be ramping up in intensity towards the end of season 1.

u just have to check the episode guide to find out that the constructicons'episode is coming.
