Review Time: this episode is top-notch
entertainment
Warning: there are colourful or flashing effects or
something to these effects and animal testing.
Storyline/Back stories/Origin Storyline: the storyline is excellent, it has to be said that this episode is
put together like a short movie; you will get this feeling early on and
throughout; without giving too much away especially within the final section of
this episode. The back stories come to the viewers from storyteller with mental
imagery a recap of previous events, in the dialogue exchanges and there is this
origin storyline element it is straight to the point Bye-bye Autobot
[Bumblebee] and Hello Autobot [Goldbug.]
Action sequences/Artistic visions: these two components go hand-in-hand, we have these characters go on
this mission and they have to battle minus Galvatron/he sets up these other
characters to do battle with this giant spider on its web and he leaves them to
deal with it [yes if you are afraid of spiders you may want to not see this
part,] but if you do end up watching it; this scene feels and looks like
something out of Dungeons & Dragons Board Game in fact on reflection this
mission has this feeling of a journey/quest [beginning with this conversation
of a plan and roughly ends with them securing this important metal and taking
it back, that is enough, because I don't want to give too much of the storyline
away.] But moving on; for an individual artistic sequence Optimus Prime goes on
a separate journey [I'm not going to point out too much here, because that
would be giving too much away and with already pointing something out in my
previous example I will not do it here as well,] but I will say this; this
journey is highly imaginative like the previous example and at least we get to
see an old face again.
Character developments: well I am sure 99.9%
of people know out there in Internet land that Optimus Prime is irreplaceable
and is in a league of characters/performers/people that cannot be replaced such
as Tommy Oliver/Jason David Frank [Power Rangers franchise] or Tom Brady [now
Ex-New England Patriot Quarterback.]
Now the more
time I spend thinking about this; I don't know if on one hand they
intentionally push this idea over to their viewers of we have this
larger-than-life character back or on the other hand this is just Optimus Prime
anyway which let's be honest he does have a larger-than-life presence to him in
every way shape and form, I would like to think it is a mixture of these two
options.
But whatever
the case may be; he hits the ground running listening and discussing things
with other characters, being appreciative in one way or another, forming this
uneasy alliance with Galvatron for now [with something on the same line as
Optimus Prime and Megatron's chemistry/friction, before I receive any backlash
I don't mean to that perfect rivalry/connection, because in comparison there is
no comparison, because Optimus Prime is Megatron's equal and vice versa, but I
find it fascinating that with Optimus Prime he just elevates Galvatron to be a
better character/foe and on top of that doing what needs to be done, basically
in a nutshell it's like he hasn't been away.
This episode receives: 10/10, from beginning to end as I have already
said this episode is top-notch entertainment.
