The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 65: B.O.T. by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is mixed

Storyline/Character developments: the storyline narrative as it relates to one of the Combaticons [Swindle] this narrative and character developments are good and interesting these would be two big assets to this episode, but when this episode focuses on this character B.O.T. This is when this episode becomes tiresome and yes I am aware he is in the final section of this episode as well, but at this point there is a lot happening so it isn't just focused on him.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: these would be another big asset to this episode, be it for one example; this collective known as the Protectobot saving these people from a burning building or other action sequences in this episode [as long as B.O.T. is not the main focus on screen.]

This episode receives: 5/10, this mark is a fair outcome based on everything that this episode has to offer.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 64: Masquerade by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Character developments: now on both counts generally speaking the storyline and the character developments were and are a highly creative idea for this episode, I like how these characters [the Stunticons,] get split down into pairs and one single character, to have individual short-term narratives in their different numbers and I can't say too much more about the character developments [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this episode.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: once again on both counts they are highly entertaining and visually enjoyable for two examples we have Optimus Prime [in his transformed mode of FL86 cab over semi truck] vs. Motormaster [in his transformed mode of Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck] in a game of Chicken and we have the Stunticons/Menasor breaking out of this prison.

This episode receives: 9/10, this episode has been quite difficult to mark including re-dictating some elements of this blog, but I finally got there, as I have already said this episode is excellent.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 63: The Revenge of Bruticus by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another episode which is a lot of fun

Storyline/Character developments: in short it is a continuation of the previous episode and we have a lot happening in this episode, be it many different characters in the same narrative or a different narrative, we even have Megatron & Optimus Prime working together at some point for a little while.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts they are chaotic and imaginative, be it Bruticus performing this kip-up or [Starscream is in his transformed mode of a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor] and then Shockwave sits on Starscream, something like the way you would sit on a horse, this is all taking place in outer space as they are heading back to Cybertron, now just for the record this is just a small piece of this scene.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this is another episode which is a lot of fun.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 62: Starscream's Brigade  by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is lots of fun

Origin storyline/Storyline/Blooper: in short the origin storyline is of; the Combaticons and likewise like the previous episode; this episode hits the ground running after the opening credits, this historic sequence is and was a smart and creative way to begin this episode, generally speaking the storyline is excellent from beginning to end with a silent and clear [without these words To Be Continued] with Starscream swearing revenge on Megatron.

Now on to this blooper and it is a big one; even though on both counts I have highlighted the origin storyline is of these characters collectively known as the Combaticons and yes the storyline is excellent, the blooper is this; we have already had this collective in a previous episode The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 5, Disc 2] Episode 58: Aerial Assault I will leave the link down below, to cover my back we may have had this collective in other previous episodes, but I cannot remember off the top of my head, but I could also be wrong as well, so apologies about that either way I just wanted to point this out.

So we shouldn't have had this origin storyline in this episode, because this origin storyline shows how they were given life from day one.

Character developments/Action sequences: on both counts they are highly entertaining with this Civil War between Starscream and Megatron [I am trying not to give too much away Starscream has a small selection of characters at his disposal,] with the characters that Megatron has at his disposal with the Autobots staying out of this internal conflict; with them only getting involved, if Megatron attacks them or if it should involve any Autobots then they will get involved, but specifically for those Autobots and still leave the Decepticons to their Civil War.

This episode receives: 10/10, I am aware of this big blooper; the problem is this episode as a whole including this blooper is lots of fun.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 61: Cosmic Rust by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another excellent episode

Storyline/Back story: the storyline hits the ground running straight after the opening credits and the warning/poem is excellent and should be given high praise, moving on to the back story sequence it is informative and good as well.

Day/Night: the viewers get this variety in this episode which is a good little touch.

Character developments: in this one example there is good chemistry/friction between this Autobot [Perceptor] and Megatron you get a mixture of chemistry/friction [depending where you are in this scene is depending what you get.]

Artistic visions/Action sequences: the Autobots insignia on this planet it is large, it is certainly eye-catching you won't be able to miss it and for the action sequences have a excellent variety in them as well; be it a hostage-taking sequence or an air to air sequence or a potential explosive situation or something else.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode from beginning to end as something to offer in one way or another.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 60: Trans-Europe Express by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Back story: this storyline at first looks like and feels like a solid yet good storyline, but the more you watch of it the more you realize that it has been designed to offer much more than you previously thought, with different characters in different locations within their own storyline segments, with the back story being an excellent touch [they all feed into the bigger picture.]

Comedy level: Megatron and Soundwave are looking for this individual, they crash through this wall of this home; they come to this man for information which he says something to the effect of "I will not tell you" with that Megatron says "I think you will" and then aims his Fusion Cannon at this TV and blows it away, which in turn this man tells Megatron precisely where this individual lives.

Character developments: this Race car Driver [Auggie Cahnay,] which let's just say when you first meet this man he is one of those people that will rub you up the wrong way and in one way or another some of these Autobots feel and get that impression as well; just to drop one Autobot's name here I will choose [Bumblebee.] But then again [Auggie Cahnay] behind this hard, incredibly hard attitude and personality; way, way, way behind this incredibly hard attitude and personality, this man will do something right and good. But as soon as he has done this good deed, the audience gets that impression he's rotating back behind his incredibly hard shell, so in short there is friction and chemistry here.

Action sequence/Artistic visions: I will choose this one example for both of these points, in this example we have a [Stunticon] Motormaster [in his transformed mode of Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck,] which he jumps off from where he is which is some distance, behind Wheeljack to on Wheeljack's bonnet which he is [in his transformed mode of Lancia Stratos Turbo,] which leaves Wheeljack with massive damage and one massive headache; this small sequence is simple, yet very effective.

This episode receives: 8/10, from beginning to end this episode just gets better and better, to the point where this mark is deserved.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 59: War Dawn by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is top-notch entertainment

Origin storylines/Back storys/Storyline: now without giving too much away, the origin storylines and the back storys tells/shows just a little bit but important elements of how this situation came to be between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The storyline [based in the present day] is good as well.

Character developments: well because there are two origin storylines [the audience gets to see one in parts in short the death of one and the birth of another and hear of another death and birth of another character,] there are character developments here. But on top of that there is friction/chemistry between the Decepticons and the Decepticons [internally,] the Aerialbots and the Decepticons, the Aerialbots and the Autobots, I will take you through one example a little bit more closely, now internally the Aerialbots ; as their commander/leader Silverbolt says things and has a different opinion to the rest of them, but as they say"Knowledge is power"; I should just point out it depends where you are in this episode is depending what you get be it; chemistry or friction and just before someone points this out yes we get friction between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: the Decepticons [Starscream,Skywarp and Thundercracker] vs. the Aerialbots air to air action/rescue sequence this sequence is a smooth yet simple yet a creative action sequence. Moving on to the artistic visions, they are elegant to show what Cybertron used to look like before this planet got decimated by this Civil War.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this episode is top-notch entertainment. On a quick side note, this character talks about the ability to fly [as he cannot do it,] but some time later he does this little flying dive thing, more importantly there is this flashing effect when this explosion happens, this is just a friendly heads up.
