The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 98: The Rebirth: Part 3 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Warning: there are colourful effects of some description and death

Storyline/Back stories/Origin storyline: the storyline is for most parts excellent, but it does have a giant question mark of what happened next? On different things. The viewers get this recap voice-over with scenes of the previous episodes as well, the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges and the origin storyline; the viewers get to see a very small element of it and it is in the dialogue exchanges as well.

Character developments/Action sequences/

Artistic visions: likewise from the previous episodes in one way or another they go hand-in-hand; the first thing I want to stress before I forget, because it was shown in this episode if the Headmasters disengage even if the transformer wants them to or not, it will leave the transformer in question stranded in another mode and yes in this episode they are still showing off their new line of merchandise Autobot [Fortress Maximus] and Decepticon [Scorponok,] they are individually gigantic, let me put it another way it makes all the other collectives the ones that can merge into a bigger transformer look small that is how big these two individuals are and yes even [Autobot] Metroplex or [Decepticon] Trypticon would get destroyed individually or as a team, that is how gigantic and powerful these two individual characters are.

These two individual characters are part of the Headmasters characters/merchandise, so they work under the same understanding [Human or Nebulon in an Exosuit, so when these two individual characters are in their individual robot modes they are in their heads.] I have already made reference to being the size they are individually with a massive arsenal and power, these two giant characters can inflict so much devastation on to their enemies or if they really wanted to as it relates to Scorponok devastate Planets or Worlds with ease.

Artistic visions; the viewers have the Sun going supernova or the Earth and other Planets these are all eye-catching at some point in this episode.

This episode receives: 9/10, so after taking everything into consideration this mark is the right outcome.

So just to wrap things up I have two things left to say [I know I have discussed this point a little in a previous film review of Transformers: The Last Knight 2017 I will leave the link down below, but this is more of a general overlook;] the first thing is all Michael Bay had to do was section off this generation into films and they could even have split the key points down into Part 1 and Part 2 into two separate films providing all of these films are no more than 100 minutes long or as it relates to the Headmasters and the Targetmasters you could even put a Part 3 [and split things like this; a beginning, a middle and an end of this final battle and get all of these characters which we meet here in this TV series involved, I would be up for this and it would be a moneymaking idea, obviously providing you had the right people behind it from beginning to end of these three films,] but 2 or 3 Parts to give these key points or landscape changes the serious nature in respect they rightly deserve [full disclosure I haven't seen Bumblebee 2018 yet as of this review and I know he isn't in the director's chair.]

But when you have source material of this quality and somehow you come out with Bay's live-action interpretation that in itself must have been really hard work to screw up in the way he has, I mean not to repeat myself but when you have source material of this quality to begin with; yes bringing this live-action franchise to life is and was still going to be hard work, but it should have made his life a lot easier with once again this quality source material.

I mean if everything went alright they could have done a prequel series of films after this, about how things began and moving on throughout the years, I know very little about this like a pinch of salt [what gets covered in this TV series,] but it would have been interesting and enjoyable to see how things began, so if there was to be a next time with a Transformers live-action new franchise, put it in somebody's hands that respects it, cares for it and likes it.

The second point; yes the US TV program ended here but Japan put their own spin on things in the TV program the Transformers: The Headmasters 1987 and on a drop of research they disregarded the final three episodes of this TV program [I know at some point in the future if I didn't bring up this point here; I know I will be getting asked "Why didn't you bring up Transformers: The Headmasters 1987?" So here you are.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 97: The Rebirth: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

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

Warning: there are colourful effects of some description and there is a robotic component of seeing inside some of these characters.

Storyline/Back stories/Origin storylines: the storyline is excellent and the viewers get this recap voice-over with scenes of the previous episode as well, the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges and the origin storyline from the end of the previous episode gets completed of the Headmasters, but another set of the Headmasters and the Targetmasters begins and finishes in this episode and not forgetting a massive new character makes his presence known right before the end of this episode [I will not tell you his name, because I have already told you enough about this episode, but I can tell you this; you won't be able to miss him.

Character developments/Action sequences/
Artistic visions: likewise from the previous episode in one way or another these three components go hand-in-hand and they are showing more of their new line of merchandise [yes I know these characters were in the previous episode as well but at that point they were not what they become in this episode.]

So basically in a nutshell we have the Headmasters that operate inside their chosen transformers head in robot mode this could be an Human or an Nebulon, so when this transformer transforms into another mode its head turns into an Exosuit for its Headmaster with the transformer in question downloading itself into its extra memory which is in the chest.

The Targetmasters work under the same understanding as it relates to an Exosuit and a Nebulon, but they are given more freedom as they are handheld weapons as a they can either work hand-in-hand with their transformer or be separate characters or turn against their transformer

Action sequences; well because we have many characters with new abilities these action sequences are chaotic with showing what they have to offer.

Artistic visions; Daniel Witwicky/we the viewers get to see inside Autobot [Arcee's] head, this is highly imaginative and elegant all wrapped into one.

This episode receives: 10/10, with everything I have said plus the things I haven't said about this episode this mark shouldn't be any surprise really it just takes off where the previous episode finished and just carries on with things including the momentum and it leaves things, so the final episode of this TV program can take it from here

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 96: The Rebirth: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

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

Warning: there is death in this episode [now I don't know if this character is dead here or just badly damaged, but it could be/can be interpreted as death and an element of robotic undercovering as well.]

Storyline/Back stories/Origin storyline: the storyline is excellent, the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges and we have not one but two storytellers components in this episode one from Autobot [Kup] and the other with mental imagery from Nebulons/Rebellion leader [Gort] and without giving too much away the origin storyline happens in the final location of this episode of the Headmasters [it continues in the next episode.]

Action sequences/Character developments/

Artistic visions/Comedy level: now in one way or another these four components go hand-in-hand, the action sequences are manic with plenty of things happening with lots of characters on screen and at this point they must have had a new line of merchandise to sell based on the facts the Autobots and the Decepticons have new characters such as for one example Autobot [Punch] or Decepticon [Counterpunch,] yes they are one and the same one of his transform modes is the ability to go undercover and spy on the Decepticons as Counterpunch or let's be honest he could do it vice versa hypothetically speaking of course, if he wanted to and on top of that he has [another transform mode of a Blue Pontiac Fiero,] whomever came up with this idea it is and was a stroke of genius, my hat would be coming off to this individual or individuals providing I wore a hat, on reflection I just wish they had brought this character in a lot sooner than what they did, there is so much they could have done with this character once again for one example sending Counterpunch on a mission with Soundwave for an episode is something I would have loved to watch without Counterpunch getting caught by Soundwave sending Intel back to Optimus Prime.

Artistic visions; there is this eye-catching scene of this Planet [Nebulos] and the comedy level can be heard/seen in a monologue or dialogue exchanges or Autobot [Hardhead] trying to keep Autobot [Blurr's] mouth shut in this highly dangerous and life-threatening situation.

This episode receives: 10/10, as I have already said this is another episode which is top-notch entertainment and this is only Part 1 of 3 so there should be plenty more thrills and spills on the way.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 95: The Return of Optimus Prime: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is top-notch entertainment

Warning: there are colourful or flashing effects or something to these effects and animal testing.

Storyline/Back stories/Origin Storyline: the storyline is excellent, it has to be said that this episode is put together like a short movie; you will get this feeling early on and throughout; without giving too much away especially within the final section of this episode. The back stories come to the viewers from storyteller with mental imagery a recap of previous events, in the dialogue exchanges and there is this origin storyline element it is straight to the point Bye-bye Autobot [Bumblebee] and Hello Autobot [Goldbug.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: these two components go hand-in-hand, we have these characters go on this mission and they have to battle minus Galvatron/he sets up these other characters to do battle with this giant spider on its web and he leaves them to deal with it [yes if you are afraid of spiders you may want to not see this part,] but if you do end up watching it; this scene feels and looks like something out of Dungeons & Dragons Board Game in fact on reflection this mission has this feeling of a journey/quest [beginning with this conversation of a plan and roughly ends with them securing this important metal and taking it back, that is enough, because I don't want to give too much of the storyline away.] But moving on; for an individual artistic sequence Optimus Prime goes on a separate journey [I'm not going to point out too much here, because that would be giving too much away and with already pointing something out in my previous example I will not do it here as well,] but I will say this; this journey is highly imaginative like the previous example and at least we get to see an old face again.

Character developments: well I am sure 99.9% of people know out there in Internet land that Optimus Prime is irreplaceable and is in a league of characters/performers/people that cannot be replaced such as Tommy Oliver/Jason David Frank [Power Rangers franchise] or Tom Brady [now Ex-New England Patriot Quarterback.]

Now the more time I spend thinking about this; I don't know if on one hand they intentionally push this idea over to their viewers of we have this larger-than-life character back or on the other hand this is just Optimus Prime anyway which let's be honest he does have a larger-than-life presence to him in every way shape and form, I would like to think it is a mixture of these two options.

But whatever the case may be; he hits the ground running listening and discussing things with other characters, being appreciative in one way or another, forming this uneasy alliance with Galvatron for now [with something on the same line as Optimus Prime and Megatron's chemistry/friction, before I receive any backlash I don't mean to that perfect rivalry/connection, because in comparison there is no comparison, because Optimus Prime is Megatron's equal and vice versa, but I find it fascinating that with Optimus Prime he just elevates Galvatron to be a better character/foe and on top of that doing what needs to be done, basically in a nutshell it's like he hasn't been away.

This episode receives: 10/10, from beginning to end as I have already said this episode is top-notch entertainment.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 94: The Return of Optimus Prime: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good.

Warning: there are colourful or flashing effects or something to these effects and animal testing

Storyline/Origin storylines/Back stories/Problems: now these three components work hand-in-hand and not for good reasons the storyline or origin storyline or the back story as it relates to Optimus Prime as you will see is problematic in this episode [I will discuss it later in this section,] but the human origin storyline gets shown to the viewers.

The back stories come to us the viewers via mental imagery, Decepticon [Ratbat's] reconnaissance/Intel, on TV news report and in the dialogue exchanges.

Problems; Optimus Prime straight off the bat I am not going to lie after about a grand total of a day, I decided to do some research on this because it makes no sense basically without giving too much away because of the deaths of this iconic character children were not happy so basically they decided to change the ending of a previous episode The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 73: Dark Awakening, which I have seen a tiny bit of it in someone else's material; in this version they leave things on a question-mark, I had never seen this before but it still makes no sense, from Episode 73 without giving too much away Optimus Prime is mentally or emotionally or physically in bad shape, yet in this episode here he looks brand-new but still dead.

Optimus Prime's origin storyline; Rodimus Prime in short he says the Quintessons created Optimus Prime; this is so wrong so, so very wrong! They created his previous form known as Orion Pax; but it is Alpha Trion who is the creator of Optimus Prime and not I repeat not the Quintessons.

This Quintesson [one of the big ones with five faces] is working on Optimus Prime, the viewers can clearly see he is talking out of a face which is clearly not in the primary position as in the front, so it is a bit late in the day to be pointing this out but I was under the impression the face of the front in its primary position, this was the only one that could talk, why didn't they use this personality trait/skill more frequently in this TV program when it was suitable to do so? But at least you learn something new every day.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now let's talk about something a little bit more happier these two components work hand-in-hand or individually as it relates to the artistic visions, we have so much chaos happening and for the artistic visions we have these scenes of this Sun before it goes supernova or this bronze  memorial statue of Optimus Prime with Rodimus Prime sharing this monologue with him or this Planet Saturn in the background when we have Rodimus Prime giving this mission to Sky Lynx.

Character developments/Bloopers: we have new characters/a new line of merchandise, a new collective known as Throttlebots; leader Goldbug, I knew there was a blooper here after some more research this character shouldn't exist here because you have his previous form still alive in this episode by the name of Bumblebee. [This is just a rough description look for this scene where we are outside of this location, Rodimus Prime is giving out these orders you have basically Superion transforming down into the individual Aerialbots and Defensor and then you have on the left-hand side; this dark yellow Autobot with a silver lower face section; blue eyes this would be Goldbug and he is in other scenes after this as well, but he will get turned into a different colour, because of the storyline.]

Now it is where we have this Combaticon [Swindle] just standing in this Hospital with his back to us but in front of these two Protectobots [Hot Spot and Blades] with a sizable gap in the middle as these two human characters [Dr. Mark Morgan and Dr. Gregory Swofford] are running down the stairs and through this sizable gap urgently going to see another human character [Jessica Morgan.]

This episode receives: 7/10, yes there is so much happening in this episode but as you can see this episode has problems [on a quick side note I have just remembered/looked at an old episode review of this TV program where I did say I wasn't going to bring up the bloopers but never mind, I had forgotten that [yes I had forgotten not to bring up the bloopers,] I have been working on other contents as well, but still never mind.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3 And 4, Volume 4, Disc 10] Episode 93: The Burden Hardest to Bear by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is lots of fun

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is excellent and the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now these two components go hand-in-hand in this episode so for one example we have Bruticus vs. Defensor or individually as it relates to the artistic visions we have this scene at the beginning of this episode of the Sun rising over this river with this shimmery reflection and sparkly little effects with the sun rising it illuminates the sky and clouds with a wash of different colours such as blues, whites, yellows and greens beginning heavier on the left hand side and slowly getting lighter to the right-hand side and on the right-hand side there is this land more than likely this is part of a community/place of work  and behind that to the right is possibly is a Mountain or a Forest [I think one or the other is acceptable.]

Character developments: now we have come to another situation where I can't say too much in this review, because it would be giving way too much of this episode away, when you come to watch this episode it will become crystal clear why I cannot, but for here and now; all I can say is; there are two excellent character developments.

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode feels like as this is the final single episode [as in all the remaining ones are in parts,] it wants to go out with a big bang and it does that alright with ease.
