Episode Name: Darkness Rising Parts 1-5
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 1
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The Autobots have been on hiding on Earth for at least three years. But when the Decepticons return, things are going to get wild... especially since their returned leader, Megatron, has obtained Dark Energon (blood of Unicron)... allowing Megatron to create Cybertronian zombies! And three human kids, Jack, Miko, and Raf, get stuck up in their mess by accident!
Optimus and his team (Bulkhead, Ratchet, Arcee, and Bumblebee) are going the help of their human allies, including an old ally (Special Agent Bill Fowler) and a whole lot of luck, to save the Earth and everything from Megatron and his evil plans...
Mission Report:
Wow... They've learned their lesson from The Five Faces Of Darkness! The story was well-done, the action was good, and there was actually some humor (actually mostly near Ratchet)!
What were the lost points? Usual things: the multi-parter was long (five shows!) Yeesh! And, next usual losing points: ZOMBIES!!! (Yeah, yeah, I have a Forsaken character on W.O.W....) And there was an Autobot zombie in the beginning! Yeesh...! And there were a few glitches. Most were minor (but not all), but they were still there (like, how did Raf understand Bumblebee?*).
Despite all that, the multi-parter was amazing! I eventually got used to the zombies... still not enough for me... and the story was well-done. Good enough for me to like it with the undead element, which is weird and good!
These episodes were surprisingly good.
Keep this up, Transformers Prime, and you'll be dubbed worthy of the Transformers universe (and I'll keep watching you! LOL!).
*Oh, Bumblebee speaks like R2-D2 in this series (or a lot like it)! Soundwave's the one who now uses recorded transmissions to talk.
