Transformers Animated "Rise of the Constructicons"-Showing On Cartoon Network At 10:30

I'll watch it. I need some mindless entertainment.

Is there something going on with the servers? This is the only news topic that isn't coming up "Page Not Found" for me this morning.

so animated is only going to have 2 constructicons? there should be all 6 of them so we can see devastator.

OMG...that was really lame. I should get a lawyer and sue on behalf of the construction industry who was so obviously stereotyped there...just so we'd never see the damned Constructidrunks again

This isn't an episode to go really crazy over. There were only two constructicons and we just should have called them MArio and Luigi. No Devastator and one Mixmaster had a butt crack, I think this was a sucky episode.

Even though there were only 2 Constructicons, they were pretty damn big. The 2 of them might combine and be pretty good size. But I completely agree that there should be more Constructicons, at least 2 more.

Why the obsession with seeing the same show over and over agian?!?! If you want to see 6 Constructicons turn into Devastator then I suggest finding your DVD copies of the G1 show and watching those episodes. The original show already did it so why should the Animated people do the same exact thing over and over again?
Boooring.

Personally I liked this episode. It made me laugh, showed how ruthless the Decepticons can be (Blitzwings Use 'em and Lose 'em strategy) and showed how clever Megatron is. (Whaaaat? Who told you that?) Granted, I will concede that it could be argued that the episode stereotypes Construction Workers, or even blue collar workers in general, tho I don't see it that way. The idea that the images of Mixmaster and Scrapper representing an image of the entire construction industry seems a bit of a stretch to me. Perhaps their demeanors are a bit over the top, but they do exhibit great qualities such as always being willing to help out others no matter who needs the help. And quite frankly, who doesn't enjoy a nice relaxing drink (whatever your choice) after a hard days work? Perhaps some younger viewers can't identify with this, but I certainly can.

And poor Bulkhead. *tear* He did kinda go a bit crazy at the end, tho. Still, I thought that the Constructicons losing their memory was kinda a cop out ending. "If they lose their memories then they can't tell the Decepticons where the Autobots are!" and vice versa.

And quite frankly, how does no one know where the Autobots are hiding out? I wouldn't think that an abandoned warehouse in the city would be much of a hiding place. *shrugs*

Nope, the voice actor Jeff Glen Bennett, from what I can tell, has not done any Mario related voices/appearences. In Animated he is the voice of Mixmaster, Angry Archer, Prowl, Soundwave, and Ultra Magnus and a boatload of other shows and movies. (Brooklyn from Gargoyles, hells yeah!) If you are referring to the live action movie, the actor who played Luigi was John Leguizamo.

I watched the first 2 minutes and turned it off. The Animated people really like dumbing down all the characters. I've talked to some children about this show, they either only watch it because it's on right before Ben 10 or because their little brother watches it. They weren't excited about this show.

Well, it was interesting for sure.

I thought it was very interesting in relationship to G1 episodes. The relationship between Bulkhead and the Constructicons reminded me an awful lot of the relationship between Omega Supreme and the Constructicons in G1 before they were mindwiped and reprogrammed by Megatron to be bad.

I watched it with that flavor in mind, and it made it more tolerable.

However, it was fun in its cliche generalizations. The whistling chasing skirts constructions workers. The brew enjoying boys. I thought it was funny, if not a bit overdone.

However, the animation in this really bugged me.

Next week you get your wish NM. Prowl is featured with Lockdown.

Yes, the G1 construction guys seem to be a recurring theme. Seems like everyone dresses that way if they are in construction.

What will sorry do without her hair--pony tails-- "Hey, those don't grow back overnight you know!?!"


Megatron was a bit more calculating isn't he? A bit more like when he was Sumdac's source of tech trying to build his body back.

That’s the episode where the Seekers appear right? To tell you the truth this is one of the few episodes I’ve wholeheartedly been looking forward to. I cant wait!

I hope they pull this off.

Not sure, I have been trying to only catch them as they come out, not using other ways to see them.

I know it has to do with Prowl, Lockdown, and Starscream, so it is entirely possible from what I do know about Starscream's future that it starts here.
