The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 83: Carnage in C-Minor  by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Warning: there are elements of death in this episode.

Storyline/Moral message: the storyline is good and this is another episode where it hits the ground running. The moral message is this; "You have to learn to live with your differences to live in perfect harmony."

Action sequences/Artistic visions/

Comedy level/Character developments: in this one example all four of these components work hand-in-hand, now we have Devastator, but suddenly out of nowhere this Autobot [Broadside in one of his transformed modes of a Aircraft carrier] lands on top of Devastator consequently squashing him, from an artistic perspective this small sequence looks excellent and it is comical. If you're now wondering where the character developments come from in this situation; it is from this perspective does anyone else remember in the era of Megatron when the Constructicons as Devastator were untouchable and a force to be extremely feared, yes individually these Constructicons can bring something to the table as engineers and those kind of things.

But as Devastator let's just say he is well and truly into the old veteran stage of his career, in fairness and balance I should just point out Broadside is very large Autobot, but Devastator at this point should be in a pub somewhere drinking Energon with Soundwave and his tapes reminiscing about the early years with Megatron and speaking of Soundwave we get him in this episode for the entire episode in his old rank of General/right-hand man to Galvatron instead of Megatron; but in no way shape or form do they have the same connection as Megatron and Soundwave used to have.

Bloopers: now this is something for you to hear out for/look out for; it is where you have the wrong voice coming out of the wrong character, but in this one example there are two bloopers in one it is where you have Autobot [Blaster] but Broadside's voice coming out with Broadside's monologue as well [it is in the action sequence at Allegra's retreat.]

This episode receives: 8/10, there is only one way I can finish this review and it is by highlighting again we get Soundwave in his old rank and position within the  Decepticons. Trust me when you get to this stage of this TV program/generation you will miss his larger-than-life stage presence when he isn't on screen as an ever present and yes I did absolutely give this episode one extra mark, based on Soundwave being an ever present in this episode.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 82: Webworld by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another episode which is top-notch entertainment

Warning: this episode is not suitable for anyone that you think it is not suitable for them or children this episode has dark themes anime; a continuous mental illness and drastic psychiatric practices.

Storyline/Character developments: the storyline is excellent; this episode has been designed to focus on Galvatron's erratic highly questionable and dangerous mental stability and emotional state.

Action sequences/Comedy level: now at the beginning of this episode these two components [yes before someone points this out you can include the character developments as well, but for here and now let's just focus on these two components and this one example.] Now this episode hits the ground running, but in this opening section we have Galvatron completely losing the plot with his own side; to the point where Autobot [Perceptor] says "Remarkable Galvatron is doing most of the work for us."

Artistic visions: they are highly creative and highly imaginative on and in this character/Planet known as Torkulon, once on this Planet there is always something to see and experience in one way or another like these various therapy methods.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this is another episode which is top-notch entertainment, I will finish off by saying it really does put over to its audience that Galvatron is an extremely unhinge be it mentally or emotionally individual to anyone around him at any time.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 81: Ghost in the Machine by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is top-notch entertainment

Warning: this episode is not suitable for anyone that you think it is not suitable for them or children, this episode has themes of anime; inner workings of a robot, a character's soul which is a robot, so having to explain that to your child or anyone may be difficult.

Storyline: the storyline is excellent; it hits the ground running from the very beginning it is a continuation from a recent previous episode The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 77: Starscream's Ghost, I will leave the link at the bottom of this review.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now in one-way or another these two components offer so much to this episode, be it the inner workings of this Autobot [Metroplex] or another character [I am not going to talk about this character, because that would be giving too much away,] but all I can say is; this individual looks great and it is marvelous to have this individual back in some capacity, but that is enough on that particular individual.

Action sequences; these are highly entertaining and bring lots of carnage to proceedings.

Character developments/Comedy level: likewise these two components bring a lot to the table as well, this alliance between Scourge [which he is an unwilling participant but Starscream has given him no other choice and on top of that Scourge gets threatened by the other individual as well,] Starscream and this other individual. The comedy level is consistently in the dialogue exchanges and there is this scene where Starscream takes over this character  Battlecharger [Runabout] and his final action in this character is to say is "Nighty-night" and run him [in his robot mode] into this wall [right next to this door entrance] to knock him out.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this episode is top-notch entertainment and this mark is a no-brainer to give to this episode.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 80: Nightmare Planet by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is lots of fun

Storyline/Back story/moral message: the storyline is good, the back story gets shown to us the viewers via mental imagery and dialogue exchanges. The moral message is this; "We will have to learn to overcome our fears."

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts this episode has lots and lots to offer around each corner be it the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk or two elements from The Wizard of Oz and other mystical characters and other things.

Character developments/Bloopers: we have some Autobots and the Predacons working together to get out of this place with assistance from Spike Witwick, but the viewers in still see and feel the friction between the Autobots and the Predacons now and again throughout this episode.

Bloopers; now the first one is something for you to look out for; now Rodimus Prime should have blue eyes, but now and again he has red eyes. Moving on to the second one and no I am not going to take any marks off; we have this Autobot [Springer] whispering this escape idea to this Predacon [Razorclaw] and when we see these three characters [including this Fairy-tale Princess] there are dealing with something else.

Now to make sure I am not clutching at straws here; I know what they have done here basically when you come to watch this episode; it jumps from situation to situation and back again which does make this episode a lively adventure. But my point here is this let me hear this dialogue exchange between these two characters or show me what happened and yes for those people that think outside the box; it is distinctly possible that Daniel may be helped them out but either way I want to see or hear something.

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

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 79: Madman's Paradise by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another good episode

Warning: there is an element of  visual death in this episode

Storyline/Back stories/Moral message: the storyline is good and it is a continuation from the previous episode based on yesterday [previous episode] Spike Witwicky and other characters were getting everything ready for this Piece Conference and today [in this episode] we are at this Piece Conference, the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges or hieroglyphics interpreted by Autobot [Rewind,] we also get this back story via this storyteller with voice-over/mental imagery from this Red Wizard [just to cover my back I know this character is another character, but that would be giving too much of the storyline away] and there is this moral message in the dialogue exchanges Daniel Witwicky says "Mum says to never go off with strangers."

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now I really do like this one action sequence; we have this highly imaginative blend of mystical powers meets science fiction and modern technology [for the 1980's and the 1990's.] In this double team it is where we have this character [his name is the Golden One] and to cast this spell and to give it; it's full power he says it into a microphone which belongs to Autobot [Blaster] which he is in [his transformed mode of a Boombox.]

The artistic visions are creative and likewise highly imaginative as for another one example we meet these highly aggressive tree characters which have two character fused together [tree cyclops on the top and wild boar on the bottom, so it looks like this cyclops is sitting/riding this wild boar, but as I have already said they are fused together roughly just below the stomach of the tree cyclops; they have the ability to change into a tree and into this form and back again and they have these weapons at their disposal as well.]

Character developments/Comedy level: on both counts they put over to the viewers how sweet and comical Grimlock is; be it when he tries to clean these hieroglyphics even though he creates this massive dust cloud his heart is in the right place or referencing California in a dialogue exchange with Daniel Witwicky with Daniel making a comment about California as well [there are other comedy elements in the dialogue exchanges.]

This episode receives: 7/10, as I have already said this is another good episode, it offers something different and no I am not criticizing what this TV show usually brings to the table, but I am just stating that this episode is a palette cleanser and without seeing the next episode yet [as I am dictating this blog] we should be returning to our regular scheduled programming/conflict in the next episode.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 77: Starscream's Ghost by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another excellent episode

Warning: this is another episode which may not be suitable for anyone that you think it isn't suitable for them or children because of its mature anime components [based on the title of this episode] it may be difficult to explain to some people that machines don't have souls and those kinds of elements.

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is a slow burner but it does get better the more you watch of this episode and the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: for one example we have this racing sequence between Decepticon renegade [Octane] and Autobots [Sandstorm] and in this sequence there is this mountain in the background which firstly it is eye-catching and secondly it is elegant with its colour and its textures.

Character developments/Comedy level: in one way or another there is a lot of character developments be it chemistry/friction and yes they continue the friction between Octane and Galvatron and for another one example; the comedy level we have this hired hit individual [this individual's name is Skuxxoid and is hired by Galvatron,] but there is one massive problem that this individual has no hope in deactivating Octane, because there is clearly a massive size difference. But in fairness and balance Skuxxoid doesn't want this job, but he has kids to feed [as Skuxxoid is on Octane the viewers get to hear all this.]

Blooper: Starscream's voice is coming out of Octane and Octane's voice is coming out of Cyclonus [this will make better sense when you watch this episode but it should be Starscream's voice coming out of Cyclonus's mouth.

This episode receives: 9/10, you will notice the difference between when this episode is a slow burner to when it catches on fire [nailed on specific it is when Starscream enters this episode.]

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 76: Thief in the Night by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is good the back stories either get shown to us via [Teletraan II] or discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Character developments/

Artistic visions: All three of these points go hand-in-hand at some point in this episode. The viewers see these two massive characters one Autobot [Metroplex] and one Decepticon [Trypticon] go one-on-one.

Metroplex is as I have already said a massive Autobot [his transformed modes are Robot, Autobot City and Battle Station mode.] Now moving on to Trypticon; he is also as I have already said massive in his own right but the Decepticons [to be more specific the Constructicons] they went down a slightly different route with Trypticon [transformed modes robot mode being of a dinosaur/Godzilla monster type, on reflection and after doing a little bit of research I knew if I was too specific about this character I would run the risk of receiving backlash from someone at some point in the future, so I have chosen to be a little bit vague to keep everyone happy, so it is up to the readers discretion what this character is but for me after doing some research he is a mixture of everything in this section, but I digress; City and Battle Station mode] and on a quick side note there is good chemistry between Trypticon and another Decepticon renegade [Octane] and good chemistry/friction between Galvatron and Octane [yes depending where you are; is depending what you get,] they should stretch out this uneasy situation between these two characters in upcoming episodes.

The artistic visions bring all the action sequences to life including the ones I haven't mentioned; they are easy to settle down with, engaging and are of chaotic nature and on top of that we get to see Trypticon taking or Metroplex returning these things or buildings of great value to Earth.

Blooper: now I did get confused by this; because in this episode Teletraan II voice is different in this episode to the one giving us this file on the Decepticons at the ending stages of this episode.

This episode receives: 8/10, as I have already said this episode is excellent.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 75: Fight or Flee by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is lots of fun

Storyline/Back story: this storyline hits the ground running right after the opening credits and it doesn't stop until the closing credits. There is articulate symbolism in this episode of; wherever these two warring Transformers [the Autobots and the Decepticons] go. They will leave their mark somehow on whatever Planet they are on. The back story either gets discussed in the dialogue exchanges or told via storyteller including mental imagery.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now these next four components gel fluently together, depending where you are; is depending what you get. The artistic visions and the action sequences beautifully bring this chaotic nature to this episode with many different things happening. For one example briefly we have Ultra Magnus wrestling with this sense seeking missile, he sends it on a new destination heading straight for the majority of the Combaticons [with two of them sitting inside this military weapons system and two of them standing one each side of it.]

Character development/Comedy level: there is so many characters being used in this episode and here is something for you to hear/look out for; the viewers will get this strong feeling/see how hard-nosed Rodimus Prime has become to this ongoing war in this last dialogue exchange for this episode and moving on to the comedy level; there are these moments in the dialogue exchanges such as Galvatron just pointing out to Bruticus what he just said was just an expression.

This episode receives: 10/10, in one way or another this episode brings a lot of highly entertaining carnage to the table. Now this is just something strange that I had to point out now we meet these pacifist Autobots that live on this Planet Paradron, so my question is this; if they are pacifists how come they have a big Prison? I know in fairness and balance the Decepticons could have gotten these Autobot pacifists to build it as we see them being enslaved to build other things in this episode. But even hypothetically speaking with the Constructicons [Devastator] and the Combaticons [Bruticus] this still would have taken some time.
