TF Animated Ep18 - Return of The Headmaster

[Pulse]

Hmm, not a bad episode . Not bad & not exactly great either.

The human villain wasn't exactly overbearing, but it seemed as though the episode focussed on only 3-4 characters - & that's it. Sari, Bumblez & Bulkhead had a pointless substory (so in the writer's mind, all girls cry because they regularly let their emotions get the better of them?) that appeared as though it was cobbled together at the last minute. Sigh.

No G1 throwbacks today (in this particular episode, that was probably a good thing), no Ratchet & no Decepticons. Oh well.

7 out of 10. They really need to work on these sub-stories so that they don't seem like an afterthought.

So this was on Saturday? Huh. I looked online yesterday but didn't see mention of it.

Check Youtube. FanTransformers uploaded it, oh, about an hour ago.

From the review it seems as if they have gone back to being mediocre again. That's too bad as I was enjoying the last three episodes and if that pace had continued my opinion on the series would have turned around.

IMO having these 'filler' episodes as the backbone of the series really brings it down as they are so considerably lesser than the Decepticon centered episodes that it almost feels as if its a different series altogether. The atmosphere and pace of these episodes changes radically and that also affects my enjoyment of the series.

Mmmmm tv.com has it listed for next week, so seeing this thread is a surprise. Well, torrenting I go then.

It was a development episode for Vector and Optimus - that's about it.

You wouldn't even miss this episode if it wasn't for the return of Headmaster - which the title gives away anyhow. There's no real story development except him returning to Sumdac Systems and them focusing on making military robotics.

Hopefully next week will be better.

I wonder if this is another Canadian or Website leak?

It's from a Canadian station that isn't taking a break at the same time as Carton Network - so I guess they are going to stay ahead for a while.

The current torrent quality is really crappy btw and is labeled as ep 17.

FYI, Canada got the episode first, since CN is airing something else.

I thought it was better than the Headmaster's debut episode. That said, it was actually really good (like this series ever has any not at-least good episodes...okay, BESIDES Nanosec and Total Meltdown).

I really liked Sentinal getting humiliated by the Headmaster. It's what he had coming to him, after all. The Sentinal/Optimus interaction was really well-done, too.

"You ripped my arm off!"
"It was trying to shove spikes into my neck!"

Tutor Bot gets his revenge! I thought that was pretty funny.

I think Headmaster is my favourite human villain (though I dislike most of them, so it isn't really much). He's funny and he's actually a credible threat.

Sari's subplot did feel a little tacked on, but I felt that it was important to at least address the results of learning that she couldn't prove her existance and

It was a development episode for Vector and Optimus - that's about it.

Who's Vector?

Who's Vector?

The one everyone else calls Sentinel :P
