Transformers Animated Transwarp Reviews

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Great episode, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, joined on very nicely from a Bridge too close. I thought that Blackout was a decep equivalent of Omega, SpoilersHis bio in the TFCC Mag said that he took down a number of Omega sentinels, but he is the same size as Strika. Perhaps a he just packs a REALLY big stick.

Nice to see more personality from Ratchet. Definatley my Fave character in animated! Slowly, we are learning why he is a grumpy old bugger. Man, he has had to make some tough choices in his life.

So awesome and so sad too...

Yeh, I thought Blurr hit quite a grisly death. Wasn't expecting it to be so intense to be honest and had to pause as I set there in shock for a bit... I mean crushed, and they had a nice close up of his face as it happend. Disturbing. Hopefully Cliffjumper bungs him in a regen firld or something, or he picked up some tricks from BW Waspinator.

I enjoyed this season opener very much! I hope they'll find some way to bring back both Blurr and Omega Supreme. I can't help but wonder though why both Ratchet and Omega Supreme (being so important to the war in flashbacks) were assigned to the bridge repair team.

I was wondering that too, and why Prowl dropped out of Ninja school/ended up on brifge repair crew.

The sari protoform/organics thing seems a throw to beastwars.

MY thoughts were Pretender-ish. That would be nice.

I liked how Sari's voice has changed as well to accompany her growing up. She's kind of a Beast Wars protoform using DNA from Sumdac to take on an organic outershell. But surely this can only lead to some sort of circular thing later in the series? I actually find teenage-cyborg Sari much more annoying than young human Sari.

I liked the voice change too. Mind you I must say I prefer teenage Sari's voice to kiddy one. Less grating on the sensors.

I loved that Metroplex's design was actually used to look like a large Autobot city. (Although that ramp out the front is still too big!)

Did Mainframe do anything or just stand there? I guess Action Masters do just stand there...?

I loved the Metroplex they slammed in there! Heres hoping they up the ante of the Omega project and convert Metroplex!! That would be awesome. Maybe Mainframe is a new line, the "In-Actionmasters"

Overall, excited PLUS PLUS PLUS! Now I want some Human char toys. I need a Transforming allspark, Sari, Headmaster Unit... Come on Hasbro, you know you want too!

Indeed. I also enjoyed seeing more exposition into Ultra Magnus too - he's made even tougher choices (as is the burden of his post as Autobot leader). His moral universe is based on utilitarianism whereas Ratchet is more altruistic.

I can't help but wonder though why both Ratchet and Omega Supreme (being so important to the war in flashbacks) were assigned to the bridge repair team.

I was wondering that too, and why Prowl dropped out of Ninja school/ended up on brifge repair crew.

The war was over - the Autobots had considered the Decepticons thoroughly defeated and didn't think that they could really be a threat again. Ratchet had retired from service long ago and Omega Supreme was decommissioned. Prowl never completed his Cyber-Ninja training... makes you think how kick-butt a fully trained cyber-ninja must be (Jazz?).

Overall, excited PLUS PLUS PLUS! Now I want some Human char toys. I need a Transforming allspark, Sari, Headmaster Unit... Come on Hasbro, you know you want too!

YES! Me too! And I want proper action figures, not unarticulated PVC figurines.

Nah not really, not like a robot burst out of her and transformed. Unless that is how the next movie is going to redefine what a pretender is, nothing more than a t800.

Its more Beast Wars than Pretenders but there is a relation.

*SPOILERS*


Looks like Sari is is basically a Season 1 Beast Wars Transformer. She was a protoform who's stasis pod scanned an Animal (humans are animals-literally) and adopted an alt mode closely based on it.

Sari's human alt mode is exactly like a BW beast mode down to the Pretender like skin on top but still fully robot on the inside as it was repeatedly shown during this episode.

That hyperactive 'combat' mode we saw was probably her robot mode.

It seems that Animated has pioneered robots with real human alt modes (not shells).

I really liked this. Just hope Rodimus' team gets more screen time. I would ofliked more dialouge in that battle too.

Blurr is Transformer's Road Runner, those Decepticons never can mow him down.
