Last Bit of G1 Episodes 'till I Rewatch a Couple
Due to various bouncing around, Dad's seen already "Auto-Berserk" and "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court". I just forgot what I was going to say about them. I'll get around to them again sometime this week.
"Desertion of the Dinobots, Parts 1 & 2"
- Contrast:
Wheeljack suggests the Dinobots do something.
Grimlock: Sure thing, Dad. Your Autobot buddies suck too much to do the job right.
Optimus gives the Dinobots an order.
Grimlock: Not just no, but fuck no.
- Compare:
Optimus gives the Dinobots an order.
Grimlock: Not just no, but fuck no.
Mirai Trunks: We've got to wait for Goku!
Vegeta: No! I can defeat the Androids by myself!
- Cybertonium is apparently this green stuff that's only naturally available on Cybertron. Right, fine and dandy. I just seem to recall that the Constructicons were shovelling cybertonium out of the space bridge circle when we first run into them. Why does Megatron keep calling back for cybertonium to be shipped to Earth?
Current theory is that it takes a lot of raw cybertonium to synthesize into those glowing, green energon cubes that we had at the end of the episode.
- Megatron, lying down, drained of cybertonium: "Capture the humans, or I'll have you reprogrammed to do maintenance!"
Shockwave: "Two things. First of all, I aleady do maintenance. Second, who is going to reprogram me when all of you are inactive due to lack of cybertonium?"
- Optimus, as the kids are about to go save everyone's butts: "You can't go. It's too dangerous!"
Carly: "And you're going to stop us how?"
Spike: "I've been living with you guys for over a year. We'll talk about 'too dangerous' the next time I get kidnapped by Megatron, okay?"
- I love the mass transit system. Hell, the entire family loved that bit.
- Carly is fully capable of spending five minutes in the presence of a transformer and learning how to reprogram him as a toaster.
- Spike: "What are military jets doing at a commercial airport?"
More importantly, what are military jets painted bright colors doing at a commercial airport?
- Megatron! He had an attack plan slightly that actually relied on subterfuge! And it worked! *excitedly squeezles Megatron*
- So, um, Shockwave. The humans are trying to get to the cybertonium. You capture them, and send them to the cybertonium pits.
Are all of your actions in this episode geared towards arranging for an exciting escape to happen? Are you really that bored?
- The ancient Cybertronian booby-traps remind me of Scooby Doo episodes. (Psst. Trap-makers, this means you suck.)
- Swoop was utterly adorable. Especially when he remembered that hey, he's got missiles in robot-mode! He can just blow these other missiles up!
Or the whole "Metal of good old days not so good" scene.
"Microbots"
- Drunk Decepticons. 'Nuff said.
- Okay, so we've got a "Fantastic Voyage" rip-off episode. All well and good, because "Fantastic Voyage" is like "The Most Dangerous Game". It's easy to rip-off, and it usually produces something half-way decent when you do so.
That being said, why did Perceptor and them care if they got out of Megatron before they grew to full-size? C'mon, burst his chest like a xenomorph!
- Megatron's cannon is once more reduced to giant laser-pointer.
- So... the Heart of Cybertron is unstable. Okay, I can picture that. After all, it's been sitting unmolested for four million years, then suddenly gets disconnected from the ship (with something that wasn't forceps), and jammed into someone's chest.
I'm just left with the feeling that most Cybertronian technology is faulty, due to its penchant for exploding. Can't you guys design something that just stops working?
- So, "Traitor" was Cliffjumper's episode to be an ass. After which, we never really hear much from him again. He's there, he gets some lines, but he's back to being background filler. Now "Microbots" is Brawn's episode to be an ass. Does he go the same route as Cliffjumper?
- At the end, when Brawn is declaring Perceptor to be his new buddy, Percy should be getting royally pissed off. At the very least, he should mentally compose some "frack off, Brawn, you never liked me more before, kthxdie" messages.
- Brawn, I'd just like to say one thing to you. Don't piss off your healers, or they may passive-aggressively "forget" to fix you.
