Episode of the day: "Enter the Nightbird" (G1)

I enjoy the second season more than the first. Nevertheless, season one has also great episodes. So, this is the tenth episode of the second season, called "Enter the Nightbird". It introduces a female ninja robot made by a Japanese (who else?) scientist, which the Decepticons are about to steal and use it for their own evil purpose.

Here's the short info:

The Autobots attend the unveiling of Nightbird, a human-built “female ninja robot,” by invitation from the robot’s creator, Dr. Fujiyama. Predictably, the Decepticons attack and immediately have the upper hand because the Autobots won’t fight in a hall crowded with humans. Starscream and the other Seekers steal the robot, and the other Decepticons take off.

Apologetic for their abject failure to protect the robot, Optimus promises to return it back to Dr. Fujiyama quickly and unharmed.

Trying new stuff: Armada, Cybertron & Energon

At least, I'll keep myself out of the series Armada and Cybertron. I was looking to watch something else than G1 and these were the first to enter my viewing area, scarring it forever. I saw the first episodes of the shows above and they suck. Big time.

Armada is way too much childish for me (I know, it's a kids' toon, but I enjoy cartoons in general, so..) and that's it. Little children would love it, but big older kids (20 something) like myself - no way.

Cybertron could be fun if it's not for those 3D-like renders which I despise. It's awful and it's runing the show. I found the plots (even the script-writing is better) not so numb, but those renders are giving me the creeps. I'll pass.

Energon... Well, Energon is something different. Not too childish, no 3D. It's pure anime and I love the look of it. I'll give this one a chance. The first impression was positive.

Episode of the day: "Heavy Metal War" (G1)

One of my favorite Transformers G1 episodes is the first season finale, "Heavy Metal War". It marks an appearance of one of the coolest Decepticons, the Devastator, combined by the Constructicons. I have a Devastator toy, I'll post some photos soon.

Check out the short info on the episode. In future I'll try to provide a link when you'll be able to watch the episodes.

A busy construction site is attacked by driver-less construction equipment, and several components are stolen. The construction vehicles return to Decepticon headquarters and are revealed to be the newly built Constructicons. The components they stole are parts to a machine that will allow Megatron to absorb the power chip rectifiers from his Decepticon warriors.

While the final preparations are completed on the machine, Megatron flies to Autobot headquarters and makes Optimus Prime an offer he can't refuse. Megatron offers the Autobot leader a one on one battle with the winner staying on Earth to do as he pleases, and the loser taking his army and exiling themselves to deep space. Prime, confident in his own abilities, accepts the challenge and sets the match.
