FINALLY! I CAN LISTEN!
Comments/Notes/Nitpicks/etc.:
I think it's kinda funny how the Prime opening says "Seibertron.com," yet Counterpunch says "Cybertron.com."
Dreadwing and Smoke
screen. Smokejumper is the RiD dude.
The WFC Generations figures can go fit with the upcoming TF: Prime toys, what with them being precursors to the Prime series.
I still wish the United Stepper figure had been remolded a bit to include the same "Target On!" feature that Cyclonus's toy had (which is kinda odd considering that Cyclonus never once performed a "Target On!" process prior to that figure's release).
You know, RiD Hot Shot's got a deco that look similar to Stepper too.
Fracas = "Frack-us" not "Frayk-us"
What being said about the remolding of Inferno to
Grapple "Grappel" has haappened before. When the Beast Machines Strika figure was redecoed into the Universe 2003 "Nemesis Strika" figure, her torso was remolded to accomodate a new Decepticon symbol. When the toy was later released in the Beast Wars Returns (Japanese Beast machines) line, the "Vehicon Strika" figure used the same remolded torso as the Universe Nemesis Strika toy had.

What did I say about Ginrai's (Jin-rye) name before?
Lovely:
The original G1 cartoon (like many others of the time) was animated by several Asian animation studios, with Toei Animation of Japan being the most prominent. It is still and american cartoon, but the animation comes form Asia. Same goes for the
Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.
The following cartoons were all animated in by Toei in Japan:
- Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends
- Dungeons and Dragons
- The Transformers
- The Transformers: The Movie
- Muppet Babies
- My Little Pony
- Jem
- The Smurfs
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 cartoon)
- The Real Ghostbusters
Another Asian studio that produced G1 episodes (mostly those of seasons 3 and 4) was AKOM, which also produced:
- Animaniacs
- Arthur
- Batman: The Animated Series (though, only 13 of its episodes)
- Gargoyles
- Muppet Babies
- The Land Before Time (movies II through VI)
- My Little Pony
- Pinky and the Brain
- Rescue Heroes
- Robocop: The Animated Series
- The Simpsons
- The Simpsons Movie
- Taz-Mania
- The Tick
- Tiny Toon Adventures
- X-Men (90's cartoon)
And none of the above are considered anime.
"Predatory" to me was TF: Prime's first "quality episode". Arguably the best episode yet. blows all the previous eleven out of the water.
"Speed Metal" was fun, but not as cool as "Predatory". I did like that it gave character focus to Knock Out.
Tailgate appeared in the episode as a white and red redeco of Cliffjumper.
I'd be happy if any of the yet-to-be released figures wind up as pegwarmers, since that'll teach Hasbro and/or the stores to not keep such figures from us.
You know, I've kinda wondered why we're called "Seibertronians" when this is "
Seibertron.com" Shouldn't we ought to be called "Seibertronseijin" (singular and plural)?
Great show again, guys. Keep'em coming.
