Episode Name: A Bridge Too Close Parts 1-2
Series: Transformers Animated, Season 2
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Megatron's having trouble making his SpaceBridge... so he gets Shockwave to look up Cybertron's SpaceBridge expert. Guess who it is! BULKHEAD!!! Megs himself captures the Autobot, and the Autobots team up with the Blue Racer... who is really an Elite Guard Intelligence Officer named Blurr. Sari and Ratchet once again go to the spaceship to try and reboot it, and the Autobots go to assault Decepticon HQ. Meanwhile, Starscream's planning and prepping his own assault against Megatron.
Things are going to get very wild...
Mission Report:
This was a pretty good set of episodes. Even a little better than the other two-parter! Guess it's good that there was no Cranky Prime, though there were some awkward and uncomfortable moments.
The story was pretty well-done, but there were a couple of glitches. Some were series glitches. But the story was pretty good overall.
It was mostly enjoyable. Like said above, there were some uncomfortable and awkward moments I did not care for. But it was mostly enjoyable.
This was a pretty good two-parter.
Notes:
I actually think that the Blurr from the 1980's is more understandable than this Blurr. He seems to speak a notch slower, though it's still pretty fast. You can understand this Blurr, but you have to really focus on his words. I've seen these episodes a couple of times (and read graphic novel), so I'm getting the hang of it, but it's really easy to loose Mr. Blah-Blah-Blah. So if you watch this episode, word of advice... pay attention to those words!
One of the glitches in these episodes is that they never tell you the names of the Starscream clones, though the toys that came out on them seem to indicate that they're more important than one might think, and it's kind of indicated in the episodes. Since I collected the toys when they came out, I know the names of three of them... only three. I'm putting them here for help and/or curiousity (sp?):
Blue One ("ego-maniac"*, way too much ego guy)--Thundercracker
Orange-white One ("suck-up"*, always praising everyone including Autobots guy)--Sunstorm
Purple-and-black One (the "coward"*)--Skywarp
*Terms from the female Starscream clone (which I suspect represents the intelligent part of Starscream), though anyone would be able to figure out "coward" with Skywarp
