Okay, so I watch the first half of the second season and then watched the movie. I don't think I'll have time to watch the second half of the season before I left for Key West tomorrow, which is why I watched it last night.
So, I really liked the second season. Proof? I kind of like the Dinobots now. I mean, they have a combined IQ of 3, but Grimlock (bless his heart) is at least trying. "Shut up! Grimlock learning finesse!" And the whole Dinobot Island thing was so cool. Untill the cowboys and wooly mammoths showed up. That part was strange.
Oh, and the episode with the female Ninja created by the Japanese scientist? Priceless. I'm beginning to think maybe Starscream and Megatron did have something special. I mean, Starscream was so jealous Megatron was fawning over the new fembot.
"Nightwing will burn out before we get the *thingamabob*" "She'll burn out when I tell her to." (Megatron WTF?!?!) "She's not so hot." "She's hot enough to replace you!"
Ah. Now the whole gun thing starts to make sense.
Starscream is still my all-time favorite. The episode where they go back in time? Pricless. The bird-crap collection was pretty funny. "Megatron! Aren't you glad to see me? Haven't you missed us?"
All in all, the second season was even better than the first. Hopefully I can watch the second half of the season when I get back from the beach.
Now, onto the movie. What the hell. I hate you all.
Okay, I knew Optimus Prime dies in the movie. However, I assumed that he would be the only main one killed. Whoops. I really liked the red van with the redneck twang, and then Megatron kills him and the ambulance. I mean, their freakin bodies are burning! What the hell! And then Megatron shoot the red car point-blank...*sniff* who let their kids see this movie!
Okay, so pretty much, everyone that I liked from the TV show DIED. And then, I got the impression that maybe Optimus died in the end of the movie, in some sort of self-sacrifice to defeat Megatron or Unicron.
Wrong again.
Holy cow. The fight scene was awesome, and it was good to see Optimus and Megatron bash the shit out of each other. And the death scene was really moving. What scared the shit out of me was the way he turned black and just collapsed into dust. Yeah. Good thing I didn't see this as a kid.
Ah, Starscream. I'm a little bummed by how he died, but I loved how he kicked Megatron when he was down and threw him into space. Little ambitious bastard. And the corination? HAHAHA! "Megatron?" Bam. Boom. No more Starscream. I mean, just the fact that he recognized his old boss was kind of creepy.
Oh, and Unicron. I like that dude, despite the fact that he didn't say "Rosebud" even once. He didn't take any shit from Megatron. That was awesome.
Okay, this is where I got really confused. Why the hell create Galvintron? And why the hell did he start sounding like Spock all of a sudden? Spock is a nice guy. He can't be evil. So, basically, I will refer to this new guy as Megatron 2.0.
Oh, and they got rid of the robot insects. Thank God. I didn't like those guys at all.
Oh, and I also didn't get the point of Eric Idle's robot. I didn't get him at all. If anyone can explain him or Megatron 2.0, please do.
Let's see...I really liked the new robots, and the whole ending with Hot Rod (that was his name, right?) getting the...big...shiny...I know Optimus called it something....big spark thingie...was pretty cool. Nice little comeback. And then the 80s rock music starts blaring in the background...nice...
All in all, I can't believe anyone under 11 could watch this. It would leave so many emotional scars. That, and Spike said "shit". And yes, I bitched and moaned about this acid trip of a movie...but is there some sort of 20th Anniversary DVD coming out? Because I think I'll buy it in a heartbeat. I really liked that movie in some...weird...way.
And now I really have to get the third season. I really need to see Optimus and Starscream come back for more ass-kicking.
"You're either lying or stupid." "I'm stupid! I'm stupid!" Megatron and Starscream
