Transformers Animated (Spoilers within!)

Check this out. It's looks like there is a chance that Blur might come back. But still we might not wanna get our hopes up. Oh I got the link from StrangeVelocity's journal on DA.

Ok...

I'm trying to keep my hopes down... which isn't really hard. What does this equation/cat/person have to do with Blurr?!? Oh well, thanks for the small ray o hope, Sky!

Let me sum this up in one word:


NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now after much thinking:Here's my speculation of this news(As Posted on my DA Journal)

However,just because Blurr has a possible ressurrection,Mr.Wyatt has not claimed if Blurr will retain a speaking role.That is the most important element for him to return to this Series.Is Blurr going to end the Shockwave/Longarm Prime Subplot as originally intended?

Perhaps,perhaps not...there is still a lot of the Final Season to be discovered.If the Blue Racer is to speak once more,this Subplot is far more crucial than any other.Not only will this be another obstacle for Shockwave,but there will also be other paths the writers can conduct when ending this intriguing sub-storyline:The Autobots of Earth or Blurr can alert anyone on Cybertron on the Decepticon's true identity,which may be the Pandora's Box to the main plotline,the tied ends to all characters,and a final battle between Autobots and Decepticons.

However,since those Autobots planning to communicate with Cybertron is their first priority,Blurr's re-appearance may not come until the viewers are halfway done with the story.Blurr will return,however,he may not have as much importance in the story as he originally was.


However,the two paths may merge into one.Blurr might not have a speaking role but play the part of evidence through Cliffjumper,the one who threw the Agent into the incinerator.If the writers are to use Blurr as the last piece to end the Subplot this only means that Blurr might not come back to his original form until the very end of the Series...depending on how long this little Decepticon Double Agent Story is going to play out.

So,here is my Review of 'Three's a Crowd'



Animation


Dirtboss Alt-Mode is a forklift Construction vehicle.His Robot Mode,the Headmaster Unit is basicially his torso,which is the reason why he's so short.Like the Constructicons,he is designed to look like a typical construction worker,to the point of having a mustache design(Which is a vauge reference to Wario)



Characters


Sumdac:We know him a lot better since Season I,as he is tramatized about the idea of a Head staring and following him,reflecting his 'partnership' with Megatron.It does give us a hint of how imtimidated Sumdac was when he was captured by Megatron,which was later reflected when speaking to Bulkhead.Also,Sumdac sometimes forget knowing the difference between pretending to obey,and really obeying a Transformer...Sumdac may be so scarred for life over what's happened,that he became a little more gullible than before.

Bulkhead:Another Transformer showing slight distrust for Sumdac when he mentions Megatron,but he understands about the hardship and fear Sumdac went through.Also,we return to that techno-savvy Bulkhead as he spoke about Space bridge terminology.

Dirtboss:This character is really annoying to the point of making Scrapper and MixMaster so likeable.His attitude is that to a stereotypical gangster and is played out throughout the entire Episode.

MixMaster and Scrapper:Are the two other characters that make up the three stooges with Dirtboss.Joke aside,they are decent and are more of their own characters instead of being stereotypical,but contain that oil-loving personality.

Lugnut:His dialouge did concern about Megatron,but his 'Inferno-complex' was not the main focus for this character.




Storyline


The Episode starts shortly after 'Transwarped',in where Sumdac is creeped out by the damaged Headmaster Unit.Bulkhead,who is there with him,tells Sumdac that the Headmaster is Offline.He then tells Isaac that they must build another Space Bridge in order to contact Cybertron.After some conversation,Sumdac tells Bulkhead that he spent all night overriding the cloaking devices on the Decepticons,which the rest of the Autobots can finally track and capture.

To the Autobots,they finally tracked down one Decepticon,which turns out to be Lugnut;introducing them to his P.O.K.E. blast.As they battle,we return to Bulkhead,using an Allspark fragment to boost the power core.Seconds later,the floor started to crumble underneath Sumdac,a forklift,the Headmaster Unit,and the Allspark shard.Bulkhead was able to save Sumdac,but the equiptment falls three floors down.As Sumdac goes back to his room,Bulkhead thought about how to get the equiptment back and fix the broken floors.Bulkhead leaves to find the Constructicons...and the Allspark,started to merge the equiptment together and bring forth life.

The Constructicons return and are drinking oil in a warehouse.Bulkhead finds them,but his welcome was short lived as he was pinned against the wall seconds later.They told Bulkhead that they are Decepticons now,but Bulkhead contrasts them in wondering why their team left them behind.They reluctantly agreed to help Bulkhead,but tells him to never tell Megatron about this.They get back to the Tower and Scrapper uses his Alt-Mode to lift the equiptment back.When Bulkhead spoke to MixMaster about Megatron,Scrapper stuggles with something.As the three help Scrapper,Dirtboss is introduced and already calling the shots.Scrapper doesn't agree with him and the new Constructicon used his weapon to beat him senseless.

Meanwhile,the Autobots are battling Lugnut and managed to dodge the missiles.Bulkhead,noticing no communication,has to stop the Cons on his own.Back to the battle,Lugnut questions the Autobots on what they've done to Megatron.Prime forms a plan and as Lugnut waits,BumbleBee and Ratchet distract the large Decepticon.Prime and Prowl were able to use the Stasis Cuffs on Lugnut,but as he points out the flaw in their plan,Prime uses his grappler to fix it.All they need to do is pull Lungut out of the crater.

Going back to Bulkhead,Scrapper accepts Dirtboss' command,Sumdac returns.Dirtboss,about to give Sumdac a piece of his mind,is stopped by Bulkhead.He 'orders' Sumdac around and Sumdac finally got what he was saying(Or trying to do)and leaves.Dirtboss reveals his plan to take back what is 'his',by stealing the oil from Detorit.The Constructicons started their first raid of oil by stealing a truck from Sparkplug Witwicky.Bulkhead tries to stop them,but MixMaster cemented him to the road.They ran off with the oil.The Cons spent the night raiding oil,from gas stations to ports.During the raid,Fanzone and the Detriot Police where investigating Sparkplug's truck,and Fanzone starts talking to Bulkhead.Bulkhead tells Fanzone that he will find them and contain them.

Back in the abandoned road,Prime,Prowl,and BumbleBee use their Alt-Modes to lift Lugnut,while Ratchet is doing the same from behind.The coils that binded Lugnut to the Autobots gave way and once again,they have to make a new plan.As for the Construticons,MixMaster and Scrapper enjoy the oil they stole,but Dirtboss argues with them.Sumdac finds Bulkhead and tells him that he worked on the Space Bridge.Bulkhead explains to him tat he only tricked him to do that,but as the Constructicons come to see him,Bulkhead 'commands' Sumdac tow work on it still,and Sumdac 'obeys'.Dirtoss then tells Bulkhead that they are raiding once more,and Bulkhead,tells them that he's going to stop them.Before cementing his to the ground again,Bulkhead uses his weapon to stop MixMaster's,but seeing as both wepaons are stuck together,MixMaster drags Bulkhead to where they are headed.The Constructicons and Bulkhead now reached Fossil Fuel and plan to blow up the refinery.Maxmaster starts to question Dirtboss,but Dirtboss controls the Con to take out Bulkhead.

As Bulkhead calls for the Autobots,they,on the other hand are lifting Lugnut once more.They hear Bulkhead and his battle,and the Autobots decide to ditch Lugnut and help their friend.MixMaster and Bulkhead continue to fight at the refinery,spilling oil while they brawl.The Constructicons hear BumbleBee through Bulkheads Comlink and Dirtboss decides to switch controls from MixMaster to Bulkhead.Bulkhead,under Dirtboss' command,starts with their plan while MixMaster complains.

The Autobots finally reached the refinery and Sumdac calls to them,explaining what is happening.Bulkhead comes and attacks the Autobots(By using MixMaster)but is easily thwarted by Prime.Scrapper then comes in and fights BumbleBee,while Bulkhead gets a second round from Prime.Ratchet removes the mind-controlled Drill from Bulkhead and removes MixMaster from himself.MixMaster lands on top of Scrapper,and the friction between the clash causes a spark,and lands on the puddle of oil.The two try to run,but their arms are now stuck to one another.The Autobots walk foward to douse the flames.Sumdac suggests that the tank should be Transwarped into a short,but safe distance.Bulkhead throws the device to the tank,where the Constructicons were,landing between Detorit and Dinobot Island.The tank exploded and the Autobots are relieved.But before all things end well,the Autobots,along with Bulkhead,return to retrive Lugnut,but notice that he's gone.

And up in the sky is a freed Lugnut and a revived Liar Starscream,giving Lugnut a flase sense of hope in not telling Megatron on what happened.


The conversations about Megatron was humourous and does hint out that Animated Megatron is ambitious...but not as bright as assumed(The same can be said for Shockwave maybe)considering that minerals affect Space Bridges.By that conversation...Megatron is becoming more of a nod to G1 Megatron due to his lack of understanding.

This is the official end of the Headmaster Unit and Henry Masterson.

So the Constructicons return intact...

...and I so don't have time for the weakness of the characters' dialouge...with the exception of Sumdac and Bulkhead.

With Lugnut and Liar returning,we have a clear idea that the rest of the Decepticons and the Clones are fine and recovering.

Also,with the explosion of the tank,there is no telling if the Constructicons will return.There is a brief hint that they might not come back,since Dirtboss said 'Top of the world,cogs!' which is a reference to a movie character in White Heat,before getting killed.

I have to say this.One of Fanzone's lines were 'I don't take kindly to machines that act up in my city'.This line can be contradicted,considering that Fanzone and the Detroit Police were not there when the Autobots were handling Lugnut,and,this goes back to the previous,isolated battles between the Autobots and one Decepticon...where the Autobots usually fail at maintaining the Decepticon and cause a lot of property damage.

The Dinobots are back...but for how long?



Weapons


In Scrapper's Alt-Mode,his crane is able to stretch to three floors and lift objects as heavy as Dirtboss.It can also be used in his Robot Mode.

Dirtboss contains a small dirll weapon on his hand and can be shot to a Transformers head.By then,Dirtboss has the ability to control the victim,much like the Headmaster Unit.It can also be used to drain things,such as oil.

Lugnut also contains numerous small missiles on his back,but is required to do some Transformation.

Scrapper can use a drill weapon from his hand.



Quirks


Dirtboss was liked for one moment because he was able to beat up Scrapper.

WWPD-'What would Prime do?'

At last,another swear word that isn't slag.

Sludge!Awwww!

Huzzah,the Voice Synthizer!

So are car building warehouses strip clubs to Transformers?

I wonder how did Dirtboss became a Decepticon and contained the red eyes and Faction symbol.


Bonus:


After being in an Anime Convention,where Slash and/or Yaoi is a slight norm....you never knew how wrong I felt after watching the new Episode.

It is best if you see this Episode one more time with a dirty mind,because you will notice how many times there is something wrong with this Episode.So here is a list of them:

• Transformers who landed on top of each other(And is compatitble for Slash Fics)

BumbleBee/Prime
Prime/Lugnut
Ratchet/Lugnut
MixMaster/Scrapper

• MixMaster's arm(or belly button)being inserted by Scrapper's drill arm...and Dirtboss helping them 'struggle' to get free(not helping!)

• Lugnut,MixMaster,and Scrapper's fear of Megatron knowing what they are doing are proof that Megatron is the pimp of the Animated Decepticons.

• Scrapper's Crane in Robot mode seems more phallic than a obvious fishing rod reference,but the quote from MixMaster 'Ease up on the clutch,then pop it' is not making my reference any worse...no

• Lugnut:Cuffed and gaged....oh the beautiful bondage!

[SkyxDB]

Yeah, I didn't like Dirtboss either. But he did to Scapper was funny, would have been perfect oppertunity for the old "stop hittin' yourself" joke.

And for the last part, I guess I should be glad that I didn't have the yoai goggles on at the time I was watching it.

Oh and speaking of the yoai goggles, don't wear them while watching Guerilla Warfare trust me.

[Bling]

You guys, watch the new tf, the one with cars which looks like it was made for 10year olds?:S

[Aesir]

You guys, watch the new tf, the one with cars which looks like it was made for 10year olds?:S

yup I watch/read the whole franchise, but some people here probably only like it cos it has cast and crew from the beast era too *glares at Wonko*

[Wicked Woman]

And I watch it because of the plot and story line... and the characters themselves. (as long as the actors/actresses do a good job right?)


WW

[SkyxDB]

You guys, watch the new tf, the one with cars which looks like it was made for 10year olds?:S

Yeah, because it's a good show, and it does have references from G1, Beast Wars, and other TF series as well. So nothing wrong with the older fans wathcing it.

[Bling]

Well dunno but it seems so... uhm... childish, the way the characters look, and they aren't detailed at all, it might be a good show tho, i just watched 1 ep (and didint like it obviously ;p) maybe if i would watch more i would het into it.

[SkyxDB]

Well, you know what they say, don't judge a book by it's cover. But I'll admit that I was skectial of it at first, and I did think the way it drawn looked kind of weird, but after finally checked out, I thought it was pretty story and charatcer wise, and yeah the style it was drawn in did take some getting used to, but I think it's starting to grow on me.

[Aesir]

it's an expressive artform, which I actually prefer to the Unicron Trilogy's weird CGI-Cell animation hybrid thing with no emotions....yeah....

Watch Transwarped (type in Transformers Animated Transwarped into Youtube and you should find it, I watch the version by someone called FanofTransformers, it's a seven parter, so start from the beginning (I mean like 6 10 minute segments and a 2 minute one))

[Zargata]

Oh I just love TF animated. I just love the style!

I wonder how similar and or different the new Waspinator character will be.

[Aesir]

Oh I just love TF animated. I just love the style!

I wonder how similar and or different the new Waspinator character will be.

well considering what we know of wasp so far:

- He was once an autobot but got framed, and went insane in prison
- He has a grudge against Bumblebee
- He gets forcibly mutated by Blackarachnia at some point
- He WAS a brilliant fighter as an autobot

he doesn't sound like BW waspinator yet

[SkyxDB]

Yeah, so far the only similarity he has to BW Waspy is the way he talks after going insane.
