The transformers franchise is a franchise that's been going on for around forty years or so and well I wanted to talk about the very first incarnation of this iconic franchise. Since this was a show that I never got to grow up with simply just due to the fact that I wasn't even born then and even tho i've seen the very first Transformers movie i've never an episode from the original Transformers show and so then join me as I review the episodes that kickstarted the The Transformers animated series with the episodes in question being called simply just "More Than Meets The Eye" enjoy.
The plot of this three episode arc is that both the Autobots and the Decepticons want some energy from Earth to fuel there home planet and so then it's up to the Autobots to stop the Decepticons from wiping out all of Earth's energy before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes wasn't that bad but at the exact same time it's necessarily that good either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in these episodes are Michael Bell as Prowl and Sideswipe and Corey Burton as Shockwave , Spike Witwicky , Sunstreaker and Brawn. Also starring in these episodes Victor Caroli as These Episodes Narrator , Scatman Crothers as Jazz , Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime , Ironhide and Joe , Dan Gilvezan as Bumblebee , Casey Kasem as Cliffjumper , Teletraan I and Bluestreak , Chris Latta as Starscream , Wheeljack , Reflector and Sparkplug Witwicky , Don Messick as Ratchet and Gears , Ken Sansom as Hound , John Stephenson as Thundercracker , Huffer and Windcharger and Frank Welker as Megatron , Soundwave , Laserbeak , Ravage , Rumble , Skywarp , Trailbreaker and Mirage.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty alot better then what I thought that it would be. Since I haven't a single episode of this show and so then I have absolutely no idea of what to expect from this show acting wise and so to see three episodes in a row that all some good acting in them is well and truly a good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for these episodes is either Akom Production Company , Daewon Media , Sam Young Animation , Toei Animation or Trans Arts Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes is for the time that these episodes really freaking good but at the exact same these episodes animation does seem like it's very dated in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then if you all thought that the death of Optimus Prime came out of know where in the animated movie then you were wrong. Since the second episode of this show straight up ends with Optimus Prime almost dieing granted it's blatant cliffhanger bait but it's still in there for us all to see but like I said it was just a blatant cliffhanger and it's one that works very freaking well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
These episodes are such a product of the eighties that it's almost worth watching these episodes just to see how eighties it all is. Since the robots don't use guns they use space lasers and there are human Earth characters in these episode for unknown reasons heck i'm surprised that a comic relief autobot wasn't a part of the main cast since that would make these episodes feel even more eighties in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
One of the things that I really didn't like about these episodes is the fact that there never quite sure on how to portray Megatron. Since he comes across as being both smart and kind of dumb at the exact same time which makes him come across as being a badly written villain because of the fact that you can't take this guy seriously as the main villain nor can you be scared of him in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
These episodes have a combined grand total running time of being roughly around one hour and ten minuets long. With each individual episode being around twenty two episodes in all honesty I really don't see why this opening storyline had to be three episodes long since you very easily could have told this storyline in two episodes and all you'd have to do is just cut down on alot of the stuff with the human characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this show is meant to be an action show after all and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty not that freaking bad. However tho that's all the issue because it's not that good either which I kind of understand why because it would have been very difficult for the animators to animate these complex action scenes but at the same tho they could or even perhaps should have given a least something cool to look at in these episodes action scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall these episodes aren't a bad trilogy of episodes to watch since they give you a very good example of what both this show and it's animated movie spin off are like in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and as such that means that these very episodes are a grand total combined score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Transformers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Transformers fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Transformers fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
