Keep going. We're up to episode 7 as of this typing.
Well, it officially aired on CN over here this weekend, so to support that I'm going to watch it on TV rather than online. This weekend will be eps 4 and 5. Hopefully it won't do what Prime did and take too long to continue future seasons. I watched half of season 1 of Prime on CN, but got tired of waiting for the second half whilst the entire internet spoiled Unicron...so I watched the rest first online.
Not sure if I can really take to this show or the toys. I keep looking at Warrior Strongarm...but that price when I know CW is on the shelf isn't appealing. I'm considering warrior Prime, since I like collecting leaders at deluxe size, but again price versus product doesn't seem to balance with this RID stuff. £16.99 for that Prime doesn't feel anywhere near worth it. If they were £9.99 then maybe. But when the legion is £7 I think they've lost me on this one.
Without wanting to start a negatively toned debate, I don't feel they are working to their cause with Strongarm's character. They are pushing for positive Female types in Transformers, but I'm still seeing the tired archetypes; Prime Arcee had to prove she was as good as the males by being tough as nails and hardcore, and now Strongarm is the slightly dizzy over eager fan girl for the famous Bumblebee. Her design is good, very good. Her toy is probably my favourite of the line and the only warrior I'm serious about considering but...meh, I dunno. She isn't what I was hoping for character wise I guess.She could've been interesting, something different, y'know?
All I will say about Strongarm without spoiling later episodes is that we see more sides of Strongarm in episodes after the third one.
