The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 36: Megatron's Master Plan: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Character developments: there is friction between the Autobots/I should just point out if it isn't friction they are involved in this situation in one way or another [Ironhide, Cosmos, Huffer, Optimus Prime, Hound and Cliffjumper.]

Comedy level: a character [someone,] tries to offer the Decepticon [Laserbeak] a cracker. Now for a little bit of variety and as these two episodes are linked [The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 35: Megatron's Master Plan: Part 1.] I have to say that; this small piece of comedy used in that episode [briefly without giving too much away a character begins to read something which he has already read,] feels better placed, natural and in short much better than this by miles, yes it may be also small, but it doesn't feel natural in fact I would feel more comfortable suggesting predictable.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now someone is wearing a body costume of Megatron [clothing,] moving on to the action sequences here is just a small selection of some of the action sequences you can see in this episode, in-outer space sequences, Chip Chase escaping this facility with a diversion from Spike Witwickey and there are other scenes or sequences.

This episode receives: 8/10 now where the previous episode was somewhat difficult to mark, this one on the other hand was more cut and dry, generally speaking the action sequences do a lot for this episode and on a quick side note if I have gotten any of the characters names wrong in this review I apologize, yes I have checked them but if it should happen I have got any of them wrong, I am just covering my own back.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 35: Megatron's Master Plan: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is highly entertaining.

Character developments: now without giving too much away Megatron persuades a human being to assist him and the Decepticons, Megatron's dialogue/dialogue exchanges with this character are very persuasive and manipulative, but then again I should point out it doesn't take much for this other character to be on board with this plan.

Action sequences: they all bring something to the table, just for one example there is this trap.

Politics/Trial/Comedy level: the first two elements in this paragraph play a heavy role in this episode; these two elements are well used to proper effect to put over to the viewers the serious nature of the situation. Now where the comedy level comes into effect is where we have this Mayor, reading this speech and he realizes he is just beginning to read, the same one from earlier on.

This episode receives: 10/10, now I had a small number of marks in mind for this episode, but without overanalyzing it too much I went for this mark, in short I couldn't find anything wrong with it and on top of that all of its elements are pulling in the same direction.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 34: Microbots by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode excellent.

Character developments: there is friction between some characters of the Autobots [Brawn, Perceptor, Bumblebee and even Optimus Prime gets involved a little in these elements.]

Day/Night: this episode uses both of these times; it is a good yet simple yet effective way of including a little bit of variety in these episodes for me.

Comedy level: in one sentence we have drunk Decepticons in this episode.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now I am going to be discussing these two elements at the same time so I can talk about them in a decent amount, but not giving too much away, we have these three Autobots [Brawn, Perceptor and Bumblebee] going around inside this evil place which has its own dangers and not forgetting these three characters have a certain amount of time to get out of this place before they run out of space. The artistic visions are detailed to show where they are is a highly sophisticated place, it captures the imagination with lots to see without cluttering up the scenes or sequences, these elements are clean and tidy and really well presented.

This episode receives: 9/10, in short after I have taken everything into consideration this mark feels and looks right.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 33: Auto Berserk by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good.

Soundwave and his mini-cassettes: these elements in one way or another bring a lot to the table, it just reminds the viewers; that is if you needed reminding of Soundwave's abilities, skills, mini-cassettes [what they bring to the table as well] and other things, this episode highlights just some of these elements.

Storyline: now before I begin I just want to say this; I can make references like this because I have mental health issues as well and as of this review I have had it for many, many years. Now I have gotten that out of the way with; this Autobot [Red Alert] seems to be suffering a mental illness or in the interest of fairness and balance if it isn't a mental illness it is coming over like that, because I haven't used this expression for a long time it seems a good time to bring it back, so with this being said I can only point out things that are in these episodes or films or any projects that I am reviewing, in a nutshell if this wasn't here I wouldn't be discussing it [I was thinking I would just point that out to cover my own back.]

Comedy level: this is just a rough description of this sequence; this Autobot [Ironhide] picks up this vehicle thinking it is the Autobot [Red Alert,] they are looking for but it isn't.

Character developments: not only do we get to have a reminder about Soundwave and his mini-cassettes. Starscream also shows us the audience he has no limits to his devious and underhanded ways in this episode as well.

This episode receives: 7/10, now taking everything into consideration this mark feels right and on a quick side note there is this flashing effect thing at some point in this episode, yes usually I don't always mention it but in this case when you see it; you will know what I am talking about.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 32: The Master Builders by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Character developments: these are really well managed in one way or another in this episode, firstly the Constructicons and these two Autobots [Grapple and Hoist] and secondly in a different situation Megatron and the Constructicons are having this brief friction. I can't really say too much more than that, because the storyline of this episode explains these elements.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts these two elements are excellent; Devastator takes on the Autobots [there are other Decepticons in this sequence is well,] but how Devastator accidentally puts his foot through this technological construction and he does other things in this sequence.

This episode receives: 9/10, this episode offers so much; because I haven't said this for some time, I may as well say it now on anything I review I never tell you everything, it has never been my way simply based on; I have never been too keen on people telling me the best or the interesting bits of any project before I see it just for the record I don't mind little bits here and there, I am specifically talking to the level of something like this; the family ties in the perfect age of the first Star Wars trilogy and as you can see I have even chosen my words very carefully just in case you have not seen this trilogy and you want to, this is why I never say too much and there is always a possibility I may forget something or something like this; but back to this episode it is excellent.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 31: Dinobot Island: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good.

Character developments: in this episode we have two different kinds of character developments, without giving too much away Starscream and Megatron are having this dialogue exchange where in a nutshell Starscream is right and the second character developments are; now is it me or are there many new characters in one way or another in this episode, I mean don't get me wrong now and again they do drop them in with a push, but in this episode it seems to feel like they are more like bombarding the viewers with a number of new characters/merchandise, it should be stated that I am not criticizing this; but I am just pointing out how it feels and how it may look, but then again I could be wrong about this or I have just missed something, but in fairness and balance at least it freshens things up.

Action sequences: generally speaking these elements do a lot for most parts [briefly there are moments without the Autobots the Decepticons or the Dinobots. But roughly in the final quarter it does feel like this episode is going out on a strong ending, so much so I had to readjust my mark that I originally had for this episode.

This episode receives: 7/10, as I have already said this episode is good.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 30: Dinobot Island: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good.

Storyline/Character developments/Action sequences: this is the first part of a two-parter storyline, which generally speaking it has been designed to develop the characters collectively known as the Dinobots [there are other things happening as well.] This episode shows in one way or another that individually or in different numbers or collectively these characters are not bad or unpleasant, they are just big in size which can turn into them being clumsy which sometimes they may not mean to be, but their hearts are in the right place or at least their hearts have the best intentions amongst other things. Now on to the action sequences at some point in this episode we see the Dinobots individually or together training their abilities or skills.

Artistic visions: now here are two examples; Spike Witwicky is hanging on to or climbing to sit on these two Dinobots into different situations the first one is [Swoop, transformed state of Pteranodon] and the second one is [Sludge, transformed state of Apatosaurus] and they have done a great job of putting over to the audience how big these Dinobots are, because Spike is very small in comparison yes before anyone says that any human is small compared to all of these characters generally speaking, but in these two examples they are subtly making this point from where the camera angles are situated, close-up or close enough to make this point [these are just two rough descriptions for you to look out for whilst you are watching this episode.]

This episode receives: 7/10, this is a good episode and I should point out some things like; there are some flashing lights things happening and if you are choosing to watch this episode with your children there is an element which could be seen as death, these characters will be fine but based on here and now some children could see this as death and if I have gotten these things wrong I'm just going to say I am just pointing out these things and nothing more.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 29: The Insecticon Syndrome by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is lots of fun.

Character developments: well the character developments play a big role in this episode in one way or another, now usually yes I would give you one or maybe more examples of this, but this time around I have just chosen to say this; there are either willing alliances or no choice alliances [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this episode.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: Soundwave is spying on the Insecticons or another example of the action sequences is where we have  Optimus Prime and Megatron performing this double team where Optimus Prime and Megatron are firstly kind of trying to transform [Megatron into his transformed mode of Walther P38,] yes Megatron can transform himself but I think in this situation it has been designed to show that Megatron has taken some damage and he needs a little bit of assistance from Optimus Prime to transform and then secondly when the viewers see these two leaders working with one another in any way shape or form it should be seen as highly entertaining and it looks fantastic whenever these situations arises in this TV series with these two iconic characters on the same page for a little while.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this episode is lots of fun and after everything is said and done I came up with this mark.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 28: The Core by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is highly entertaining.

Character developments: well yes usually I would pick out some small elements and talk about them briefly, but as these three groups of characters in this episode the Autobots, the Decepticons, the Constructicons and not forgetting Devastator have so much interesting and excellent chemistry or things to say or to do anything like this in this episode; all I can really say is all of these characters brings something to the table in one way or another.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now speaking of these two elements in one example, I really do like how Devastator finds this boulder from out of somewhere and then throws it, hits the ground whilst at the same time hits this small rock bounces off it and hits these Autobots and sends them over this waterfall [just in case I have got something slightly wrong in this example, I should just point out this is just a rough description of this sequence.]

This episode receives: 10/10, even though this may look like a small review, this episode does have some much to offer its viewers that this mark was a straightforward decision by the time that the ending credits began rolling.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 2, Disc 2] Episode 27: A Prime Problem by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Character developments/Storyline: now this is one of those situations where I can't really say too much, this is not out of laziness it is just as you should know by now I don't like to give too much away about any project. But it is somewhat difficult based on the facts this episode elements are interlocking, so I am having too really think on how I can put things in this review.

There is reliably interesting/entertaining chemistry between Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave, I really, really want to make this point because it is a great observation, but I will have to be really vague [but it will make sense if or when you watch this episode or not.]

Now at some point in this episode Teletraan I says these two characters are identical or something to this effect, so I got thinking how can this be when there is one key thing that would tell them apart straightaway unless Laserbeak took images of this as well, but this thing would be very difficult to make a copy of because this thing is one-of-a-kind.

Action sequences/Comedy level: this sequence works on two different levels meaning action and then a comedy level, briefly Laserbeak is sent to bring back Starscream after running/flying away.

This episode receives: 8/10, now I feel I should point out now and again I'm going to say throughout this episode just to cover my back, that this episode has some kind of colorful thing going on, it is one of those kind of things where once you see it you will remember what I have said here. But putting that to one side I think this mark is fair, just based on anything less doesn't look or feel like.
