Transformers Victory (& Zone) #Spoilers Ahead#

[Pulse]

I just finished watching it a couple of hours ago & I'd have to say - It was pretty darn good! I honestly enjoyed it! The story had a great build-up to the finish (Deszaras' Space Fortress & it's weakspot was a nice throwback to Unicron ), The Filler episodes weren't too bad and the Dinoforce's assistance to the Cybertron's cause in the last episode was a nice touch !

There were a couple of points that occured to me as the episodes went on:

# So Jan & Holi became the new Danny & Wheelie? Atleast they're not nearly as annoying as Danny & Wheelie were in Season 3 & Headmasters...

# At the end of Masterforce, The Cybertron's lost their bracelets (due to Devil Z being the creator of the Masterforce bracelets) & became humans again - right?

So if Devil Z is dead, & the Masterforce bracelets no longer exist, then how can God Ginrai & Minerva exist either?

# If God Ginrai used his Fire Guts Power in Masterforce to kill Devil Z, then why didn't he also use this power against Deszaras before he got fatally wounded?

# Wouldn't it have been cool if they would have released a figure of Deathcobra in that he could have been interchangeable with Hellbat as a member of Liokaiser?

# If Jan is only a kid, then how can he drive his Mech?

# I was even getting used to putting up with constant references to the Supreme Commander & Lieutenant Commander (I guess Headmasters got me used to it) as well as the bumbling antics of the Dinoforce

# It was a nice throwback to the Season One storyline when the Decepticons were collecting energon to fly back to Cybertron as towards the end of Victory the Destrons were amassing energy in order to resurrect Deszaras' Space Fortress

# Deszaras & Liokaiser got blown away into space... & that's it?

Going onto Zone, The episode seemed to have even more fluent animation than Victory but it also seemed to turn up the Anime Factor some what (That human character had what coloured hair? ). The episode seemed to be built around Micromaster Bases & Micromasters as well as Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Violenjiger (Did Violenjiger ever have a prototype figure?) but the resurrected gestalts looked completely different to their original incarnations - Someone screwed up there!

Maybe the G1 Cartoon had just run its course - Who's to say? Kaneda Masumi's distant hope of having the remainder of the season eventuate seems like a far off dream that's never likely to come to fruition - Oh well...

Only now I can say I've watched every episode of G1 & I luved every minute of it!

At the end of Masterforce the Godmasters became normal humans and the Transtectors gained life with the same personalities as their Human components.

# If God Ginrai used his Fire Guts Power in Masterforce to kill Devil Z, then why didn't he also use this power against Deszaras before he got fatally wounded?

That ability is only realized by using Chōkon Power which can only be achived with humans.

Thanks Kup . I guess they can always find a plot device when they need one .

Do we need spoiler warnings for old school G1 stuff?? (o_O)

There are some real s_l_o_w_c_o_a_c_h_e_s out there who haven't even finished Masterforce yet (They whinge that we spoil it for them )

guh... I think it's safe to say that if a topic contains something old and is clearly labelled, and if you're a slow coach who hasn't seen it and don't want spoilers - then just avoid threads with that topic! e.g.: if you've never seen Beast Wars and don't want to be spoiled, then just don't read threads about BW, likewise with G1, G2 etc. It's a bit different with more recent and upcoming material (e.g.: Animated) where people might want to discuss it but not expose themselves to spoilers. Seems like common sense to me. Sorry about the derailage - back on topic now...

I enjoyed Victory and I really liked the ending. The final battle is comparable with the Optimus Prime vs Megatron fight in Transformers The Movie. Zone is pretty cool in its own way - excellent animation. The story is decent considering that it was a cancelled series pilot and the fact that the toyline lacked Decepticons ('cept for Metrotitan and the Race Track Patrol) so they had to bring back Decepticons from previous series and obscure them with garish costumes since toys like Devastator and Trypticon weren't on sale any more.

Dai Atlas is quite a controversial character amongst Japanese fans, but I like him.

Hey I resemble that remark

Not that it bothers me about spoilers,I'm on holidays at the moment so I might be able to sit down and finish watching HeadMasters and Masterforce.

Just a question But where do you find the Victory and Zone series?
