Man, this just shows how much better season 2 is compared to the uncharismatic bore that was its first season.

Yeah, I just minutely quoted TFTM, sue me.

Honestly, aside from only seven episodes, I just cannot like season 1. It was poorly structured with plot points and directions being constantly dropped or changed left and right, only three characters got any long-term development (Arcee, Starscream, and Jack), and the whole thing completely lacks any noticeable creative vision prior to the Unicron finale, as though the creators simply didn't know what to do with the story and these characters for the first 22 episodes of the series. >:oP

Season 2, by contrast, feels like a breath of fresh air. Had season 1 been as competently made as season 2 is, I'd be more forgiving towards it. But sadly, it just isn't.

the first season probably sucked cuz they had to write an entire season of a full fledged show from what was (from my understanding) a stand-alone 5 part mini series, that just happened to have sparked big interest in people. either that or im mistaken and Prime was always meant to be an entire series.

Oh, season 1 isn't my favorite season either, but hey, you learn from mistakes. The mistakes of season 1 made the second season better.

Eh, aside from Bulkhead, who probably got more episodes about himself than any of those 3. It's kind of what made Miko so annoying.

and the whole thing completely lacks any noticeable creative vision prior to the Unicron finale,

MECH was creative for me. Not a new concept, though. Evil human terrorists... :roll:

What's in bold was correct. The made the mini-series as an afterthought to give them time to work on the rest of the series.

And despite that, he didn't develop as character. At all.

They had the chance for him to do so when he was convinved to go save Breakdown, but after that, he's beack to beuing bitter enemies with the guy as though nothing happened.
