The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 1, Disc 1] Episode 24: Atlantis, Arise! by AverageMansReviews














Review Time: this episode is lots of fun.

Character developments: I will just put two examples here, now the first one is where we have Megatron at first being disgruntled with Soundwave and then Soundwave pointing something out that would be of great interest to Megatron and then Megatron being happy with the information given to him. The reason why I have chosen this example is because; this element may be small but at the same time it does so much in the way of reinforcing in a smart and elegant way that individually or together these two characters are really defined from these two perspectives; firstly Megatron is only interested in Intel or a situation or anything that benefits him or the Decepticons coarse and then secondly from Soundwave's perspective it shows that he is the only one that can get away with speaking to Megatron in this way and not be looking down at his Fusion cannon in the next second, because Soundwave either does what he is told or knows what Megatron wants or something like this.

Now to my second example and this one is slightly smaller it is between Soundwave and Starscream [I can't say too much about this point, because when or if you choose to watch this episode, it will come up,] but once again it is another subtle yet smart way of putting over to your viewers that Starscream shows with Soundwave's abilities and other scenes or sequences on his own in this episode that Starscream could have brought something different to the table and could have been a great asset to Megatron just like Soundwave, if Starscream wasn't mostly focused on and desperate for the leadership of the Decepticons.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts these two elements are of a very high standard, briefly here are one or two elements for you to look out for; these fighter jets underwater or these vehicles underwater or on the water.

Storyline: this is one of those occasions where may be making this storyline into a two-parter would have been an option they should have taken based on my opinion of this; they could have just continued with these elements in this episode and on top of that they have or had four groups of characters to work with.

This episode receives: 10/10 as I have already said this episode is lots of fun.
