After the Dinobot episode, I thought I was being alittle harsh on this series.

After watching this episode though, I decided that I haven't been harsh enough!

These human monsters suck!

I respect you and your opinion, Liege, but I got to say I REALLY disagree with you. I LOVED this episode. :grin: Its cool that we got to see it, and its a cool episode. I loved the Bots joking around. It was fun and cool. Like "trunks" says, "Awesomesauce!" :lol:

Nice, now we don't have to worry about this not being aired, a good episode overall, but I preferred getting the Dinobot episode.

Acid Man is silly... The massive wrestling guy reminds me of Hulk Hogan though with his white handlebar moustache. :lol:

I gotta admit, I did laugh quite a bit in this episode. It wasn't all that bad, and I think Prometheus knows something about Sumdac finding Megatron.

I also love that he recognizes Sumdac is a bit of a dimwit.

"I refuse to be beaten by some simpering nerd who merely got lucky!" Loved that line.

Alright. This is a joke right?
This is the only episode I've watched.
And I wanted it to be good.
This is the worst example for a Transformers cartoon I
could have never imagined. It's like Muzzy on crack.
I mean they've done a good job of destroying everything
a good cartoon of the 80's ever represented. But this flat out takes the cake.
I'm disgusted, I really am.
I got through part 2 and would rather cut myself than proceed with the drivel they are trying to dish out."UGH!!!"
What the 773H is that monkey thing that runs around with
the Autobots anyway?

Liked the part where BB climbed up the elevator shaft. That was pretty cool.

For the episode as a whole......eh, sarrite, but I'd rather see D-cons instead of knockoff Batman bad guys.

Speaking of which, wasn't Meltdown the name of the main bad guy in Batman Beyond?

Not a bad episode. Plus it has Peter Stormare in it, love him! He was also in Armageddon...Which the Transformers movie was "...A hundred times cooler than-".

Sorry to say this, but that ep was all sorts of chuck-full of SUCK! I HATED IT! Worst ep thus far! I am dry-heaving just thinking about it! :SICK: :SICK: :SICK:

Well, this episode was the worst Teen Titans-style. But everybody knew such episodes will be put in this show, no need to be surprised.

Meltdown is all kinds of cool. The human supervillians remind me of the old Marvel TF comics.

THAT'S IT! THANK YOU!

I just could not remember his name for anything. =\

Such a distinctive voice, I knew it was him but couldn't put my finger on it.

Crap in a hat.

I'll admit, the human villains could start to wear a bit thin, but with the Decepticons returning soon (Lockdown arrives tomorrow/today)I wouldn't tell any on the fencers or naysayers to give up just yet.

However, I wouldn't call Meltdown a human villain. I mean beside the obvious part of him, he does have a part of Bumblebee in him as well, so technically you could say he's cyborg...ish.

Was it perfect? No. Enjoyable? Yeah. Fortunately, the rest of the series has been made of nothing but pure win.

Oh and Meltdown is still better than The Archer. Wow...

So, out of all the episodes available, you decided it would be a good idea to watch the one that didn't air to make a good impression.
Thats pretty daring if you get my drift, maybe it didn't air because it was horrible. In my opinion it was.
I felt like watching Batman: Animated which didn't fit at all. It was just silly.

I suggest you to watch the first three eps. Those were really great. You also get to see the new Decepticons, a real highlight of the show. You will also see a really rad Starscream and a non silly plot. :|

Don't be haters. Be happy that there still is Transformers shows at all. I like all the Transformers series, regardless of style, look and content. Hell, even Beast Machines is accepted here ^^

Animated rocks so far =D
(although it must suck extremely superbly hard, to say that it's bad.)

Liked this ep, as well as all the Animated eps so far.

Sorry, I don't have cable, so I don't get to watch the show.
I've never had the gut wrenching experience I had viewing this episode. I seriously didn't watch the 3rd part, there was no point. I got my pops to record the movie pilot and will
probably pick it up this weekend. If it isn't so terrible
I may change my point of view.

Am I alone in the fact that I LIKE when humans temporarily get the upper hand? It shows that Transformers, for all their size, might, and intelligence, are not infallible. It's like when a superhero is brought to his knees by something that seems so much smaller and weaker. It's more interesting, kinda like what is happening with Sunstreaker in the comics right now. It's delicious.

i actually laughed out loud when i realised that it was BB under wraps for the fight after ratchet had been wondering what fool bot would fight. From the snippets of AEC that ive seen nothing has ever brought me even close to a smile.

the interplay between BB and the other bots kinda reminds me of the tomfoolery between jinpei and the other gatcahaman team members (ie battle of the planets), the show similarly has a goofy but a serious side too.

I'm pretty convinced that they didn't air this one simply because it could suck Trypticon through a straw. Seriously, I can say that I liked all the other episodes, but "Meltdown" was just awful.

"Be happy that there still is Transformers shows at all." You make it sound like they are doing us a favor. I would rather they just stop and end Transformers than keep re-imagining it into something worse each time. I've seen enough of this show. Watching more of it isn't going to make me like it.

I agree. Instead of making some new rehash they should just not worry about a show and just keep the toy line running. Put the money that would go into some lame show and make some great toys. Or take a hint from Beast Wars. New bots and new story lines work well. Out of the 5 episodes that ive seen of Animated the only "good" one was todays. Why? No damn humans. And Lockdown kicks ass. I still hate this animation style but if they were to make all the episodes like that then id watch. And i still cant figure out if this is suppose to take place in between G1 and Beast Wars or if this is just another rehash that uses the same names with G1 shots thrown in for the hell of it.
