Optimus Prime has had a makeover, his body and legs have been streamlined, more detailed and he looks really cool with the flames coming up from his feet and around his legs. Hasbro improved the voice quality and increased the amount of phrases that Prime can speak, which is always nice for collectors and for kids who actually play with this toy. For those who do want to play with him, they recommend being at least five years old maybe even a little older.

In his engine revving, truck mode Prime has a button on top of the cab of the truck that sounds the air horn and lights up the windshield, along with headlights and clearance lights too! He is just packed with wisdom and charm, just like the character this toy represents, and is one our kids can look up to.

Transformers Season Two/First 40 Episodes

By far the longest of the three seasons with 49 episodes, season two is full of new and exciting inventions as well as a whole host of new Cons and Bots. Insecticons , Constucticons, Stunticons, and Combaticons were added to the mix of Decepticons.

The Autobots introduced, Dinobots, Morphobots, Arialbots, and of course Protectobots.

The first episode of season two shows Sparkplug developing a machine that is supposed to hold on to the memory of the Autobots while they are being worked on mechanically. This sounds like a good idea at first, but as always the Decepticons have to go and ruin everything.

The next invention comes from Wheejack, who has developed a way to immobilize virtually everything! Quite useful, until Megatron finds a way to use it against the Autobots.

Other early episodes focus on the Dinobots. As usual the Decepticons are hungry for the rich natural resources on the Dinobot Island, they try to tap into the energy of the island. Thankfully,  another nefarious plot is foiled by the good guys.

The next ten episodes go by in a flash until before mid season when Megatron takes control of the flow of oil by seizing control of the Torq 3 computer. The next two episodes titled “Megatrons  Master Plan” lead into the first highlight of the season when the Decepticons attempt to take over New York City and destroying Optimus Prime as well! In the end the Autobots have to save both without the help of their fearless leader.

Immediately following that, another two part episode 19 & 20 “The Desertion of the Dinobots”  With cybertonium in short supply both sides are having a tough time especially the Autobots who have to rely on the Dinobots for their share of the rare element. The Dinobots have a few gripes of their own and quickly turn on the Autobots leaving them without recourse.  

Episodes 21 through 30 reach out to the audience in different ways, giving them more character building and different scenarios to explore. Around the 32nd & 35^th episode female transformers were developed the story line set on working them in they wrote the kidnapping of the leader of the female Autobots, Elita1 and used her to set a trap for Optimus Prime. Elita uses her special time alteration powers, but is left near death and needs to go to Alpha Trion in order to be saved.

Both Powerglide and Seaspray have love interests in this season. First the Decepticons go after the teenage daughter of a man who has a secret invention. Powerglide rescues her and finds  she has fallen in love with him. Then later Seaspray falls for a rebel from another world which doesn’t end well either.

Another two part Episode 30 & 40 deals with the Decepticons getting the powerful key to Vector Sigma, only to find the key can be used to turn organics into machines. The impact of this power if used against the Earth would be devastating. Fortunately, the Autobots create a surprising new ally that saves the day.

The last nine episodes are loaded with excitement and history, read on as we wrap up season two, and move on to the third and fourth season.

Developing a Base of Transformer Geeks…1984

Today when someone mentions Transformers, most people can conjure up images from the most recent full length feature films, with the state-of-the-art technology and special effects. But if you’re a Transformer geek you know where it all began for the Decepticons and Autobots.

Back in 1984, the original Transformer cartoon series was released for the main purpose of marketing the Transformer toy collection. In order to have a decent cartoon to put out, the writers had to develop characters and story lines for them. After all a toy is only as cool as its character, just ask Buzz LightYear. What happened after that, no one could have predicted.

Writers and illustrators went to work creating heroes and villains of epic proportions and a whole new world for them to defend. Of course where there are good guys there have to be bad guys. The Autobots are the heroes and the Decepticons (word meaning deception/to deceive-con/negative) were the bad guys.

Optimus Prime is a beloved character throughout the Transformers long history. Of course the largest and most powerful Auto bot, Optimus is the role models’, role model. He is the strongest, wisest, most uplifting character! We learn to respect him, and care what happens to him. The fans jumped on board and never looked back, they wanted more and more of everything Transformers.

That first season had 16 episodes in all. The first three were called “More Than Meets the Eye”. These episodes developed the strong story line of the two enemies and provided the jumping off point for the rest of the season.

The Decepticons and Autobots battle over the control of energy sources and when they crash to earth, they awaken dormant powers on earth and the war is on! This season introduced some of the characters like Bumblebee, Hound, Spike and Sparkplug. 

With their energy reserves dwindling, the Autobots set out in their ship to find new reserves but are followed by the Decepticons, who attack right in the middle of a meteor shower. They board the Autobot ship, and in the course of the ensuing battle the ship is badly damaged and sent crashing to Earth.

In the second episode, the Autobots escape from the rubble of the crash to save the humans. Spike and Sparkplug return to Autobot Headquarters with them to help them in their battle. The Decepticons greedily plunder Earth’s resources and make Energon cubes, planning on returning to Cybertron with enough energy to ensure victory. Clearly the side that acquires control over the energy source has the upper hand, at least in the short story.

The first season ends with Megatron building the Constructicons in order to create a machine that can transfer all the Decepticons’ powers to him. When Megatron challenges Optimus Prime to a fight he must accept according to the code of honor. Prime is defeated and the Autobots must abandon Earth.
