The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 3, Disc 3] Episode 40: A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good

Artistic visions: straight off the bat there are some colourful effects/flashing effects in this episode, but now I will be discussing this very small element where we have this Decepticon [Ravage] being distracted/chasing after this owl [Archimedes.]

Action sequences: this is just a quick description of this sequence, we have these two Autobots [Warpath, transformed state of M551 Sheridan Medium Tank and Hoist, transformed state of Toyota Hi-Lux pickup] as they both ram this wall [Castle] standing on top of this wall is Starscream, but he won't be for too much longer.

Comedy level: now I can't tell you too much about this [it will get explained in the storyline,] but Starscream runs/dives onto Megatron consequently knocking him over.

This episode receives: 6/10, without splitting too many hairs I think this episode does have enough about it to get given this mark.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 3, Disc 3] Episode 39: Blaster Blues by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another highly entertaining episode.

Artistic visions: the viewers have Megatron, Starscream and Thundercracker flying/landing/breaking into this observatory [science; it is one of those places where you have a massive telescope sticking out at the top roughly amongst other things possibly a satellite dish in this case.] I should just point out there are colourful/flashing effects in the rock concert sequences and there are other artistic visions in this episode.

Storyline/Character developments/Action sequences: there are many things happening in this episode, so much so we have many characters doing or saying or anything in many different situations, which gives every situation a level of importance in this episode. Now I am going to be talking about the next two elements together, because I am 90% sure that these two characters are newcomers/new merchandise at this point of this TV series [I could be wrong about this so just to cover my own back I would like to apologize.] But putting that to one side, the Autobots and the Decepticons have one newcomer each and without saying too much but being precise at the same time, you won't be able to miss them. Because one is gigantic whilst the other is more adaptable, these two characters have an action packed sequence which is out of this world

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode has many high-quality elements which some I haven't mentioned in this review, because I don't discuss everything as we all know, but like it's recent predecessors this mark was straightforward to give.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 3, Disc 3] Episode 38: Desertion of the Dinobots: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another highly entertaining episode.

Storyline/Artistic visions/Action sequences: I was thinking of the best way for me to describe this storyline without giving too much away, so I have decided to go with something like this; this episode has this very, very, very loosely based Jack and the Beanstalk feel to it, now where I came up with this idea is where we have two characters [Spike and Carly going around Cybertron] and everything around these two characters is gigantic which in turn makes these two characters look very, very, very tiny and on a quick side note an element of history on how things came to be; is in this episode as well I can't say too much more than that.

Now as I have previously briefly stated as these two characters are very, very tiny the artistic visions do a fantastic job of selling this particular point, but also putting over to their audiences that this is a highly technical and advanced race, here are some other elements for you to look out for; Sparkplug Witwicky and Teletraan I [as they tried to assist Spike and Carly on Earth.]

On to the action sequences; here is just one example of them, in an element form [which basically means not all of this action sequence,] we have Spike, Carly and [Dinobot] Swoop trying to avoid these heat seeking missiles. Swoop transforms [transformed state of Pteranodon,] then we have Spike and Carly hanging on to Swoop as he tries to do some fancy flying to outmaneuver these heat seeking missiles.

Character developments: I have spoken about the Dinobots before as it relates to their personality traits and their mental capacities where I roughly said something to the effect of it can range from children to teenagers [The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 1, Volume 2] Episode 15: A Plague of Insecticons,] but in this episode they learn and grow to realize something [yes if I haven't mentioned this before individually these characters have their own personality traits,] but I prefer to talk about different collectives on the whole, because without being lazy it also gives me the option to tell you some things and not to tell you everything about any character in any project I review.

This episode receives: 10/10, this is another episode that offers so much so it was straightforward for me to give this mark.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Volume 3, Disc 3] Episode 37: Desertion of the Dinobots: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is highly entertaining.

Character developments: there is friction between Megatron and Starscream, the Autobots and the Dinobots [I am not trying to be lazy with not being too specific, it is one of those occasions where if or when you choose to watch this episode,] you will pick up on why I can't tell you too much, in one way or another these elements are linked together so it is like this; I will put out a decent sized review on this episode but less is more that kind of thing and on top of that my mark will reflect this episode anyway.

Storyline: now in this episode we have different numbers of characters doing different things in different locations, which in turn makes the next scene or sequence have a sense of purpose and meaning, because the characters may or may not crossover into another selection of characters storyline elements or they could continue in their storyline element away from the previous situation which may or may not affect the previous situation or the upcoming situation, without confusing myself or my readers if you use this foundation of storyline the possibilities are many [just off the top of my head here are some suggestions,] give some screen time to lesser used characters to maybe develop them or in one storyline element to be used in another episode or my final suggestion would be maybe to cover this massive war like sequence which of course you would have many characters in different locations, in different dialogue exchanges and many other things. But as I have already said the possibilities are many if you use this foundation to its full potential.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: I will be discussing these two elements at the same time, the first sequence I will be briefly discussing is where we have Soundwave checking out this vault in a technical way and then he passes the information onto Megatron [this element may be small but I do like how Soundwave quickly gathers this information.

The Dinobots; these characters take on the Decepticons and they do bring an element of carnage wherever they go if they are in the right mood [the wrong mood for everyone else,] they did an excellent job of selling to their audiences how big this group or collective are, as for one example this collective pretty much wipe the floor with the Decepticons for a section of this episode.

This episode receives: 10/10, in short there is a lot in this episode and on top of that; this is just part 1 of a two-parter, so let's hope it continues in this fashion in the next episode.
