Season 2 Ep 16 ' Hurt'

First time Miko hasn't been insufferable. She needs more stories like this.

The huge gap between episode 15 and 16 did make Bulkheads predicament less powerful than I think was the intention, which is a great shame. Not a bad epsidoe, but not out and out awesome. Consistant, is probably the best word.

[bumblebee]

yeah there was to much of a gap between the two episodes but it was still a decent episode

[Nemesis Scourge]

I actually forgot about the Bulkhead thing until I watched the new episode... Can't they just air shows without all these annoying breaks?

[bumblebee]

you can easily forget what happens after the long break, but next episode is a flashback episode with cliffjumper

Episode 17 ' Out Of The Past'

Another nice character study for Arcee, and some further good work done with Miko. Bulkhead's recovery was a bit more sudden than I expected, even though he's not 100%. The most notable feature of the epsidoe though was the prime debut of Shockwave.

Whom, just like his G1 counterpart is left by himself to tinker on Cybertron. Also looks like he has no interesting Alt mode, and is liable to turn into a similar half assed pile of scrap as the DOTM version.

Also puzzled why sometimes the Transformers remain in robot mode when it would be more practical for them to convert to vehicular mode. Clearly the budget doesn't stretch to Cybertronian alt modes ...

[bumblebee]

I thought Bulkhead was going to be out of it for a good couple of episodes, always nice to see what Cliffjumper was like before he died from a flashback episode, and hopefully we'll get to see Shockwave in a later episode somewhere

Got a new Autobot coming next episode, and (Silas)down coming back in the next episode so it can be pretty good

Was anyone else annoyed that Cliffjumper wasn't voiced by The Rock in this episode?

[bumblebee]

I think they might not have been able to get him to do the voice or something like that, he could have been doing a movie at the time they made the episode, but it was a little let down to see him doing the voice, but I didn't really like Shockwave's voice very much
