    Episode 8: Nanosec

    Ok, this episode started off with another human villian and i admit i sighed to myself but as the episode went on i thought ok maybe this guy isnt going to play as big a role as i thought which i ended up being wrong about but a good thing about it was that it wasnt just a supervillian, it was a guy who megatron pretty much turned into a supervillian which did make it a lot less lame to me for some reason. Sumdac is still a dummy, how could you not know megatron has something up his sleeve? bumblebee was the hero again but this was the first episode that really warrented it imo. i didnt like how nanosec got older though he actually should have stayed the same age while everyone else got older but whatever its a kids show, but it does make me wonder if the writers got that little piece of physics backwards.

    Final verdict:

    I give this episode a 7 out of 10. Another human villian that could have been a decepticon but at least this one was influenced by megatron. nothing really character developing on the autobot side and it was the same ol same ol with sumdac.

    Season Average Score So Far:

    6.6/10

    Abdul Fakkadi, Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya, Lord Chumely, Doctor Arkeville, and "Old Snake" all disagree with your opinion of the Human bad guys not being "from Transformers."

    Evil transforming robots from outer space are mature.

    But embittered human villains aren't.

    Really?

    And your 'character development' definition is wrong. We've been through this.

    Remember, Sumdac doesn't yet know that Megatron is the Autobot's enemy.

    Easy on him guys, he doesn't have to worship Animated. Heck, I like Animated, but even I find problems with it. There are way too many episodes that feel like "Bumblebee and Friends" where we once again get to watch Bumblebee forget the lessons he learned in the prior episode. On top of that, Sari is the worst character in TF history. I'll take Kicker over Sari any day of the week.

    That being said, when Animated is good its great.

    yes, but the way he said it made it kind of ambiguous as to who megatron really was. for all sumdac knew, megatron could have been an autobot leader, or an autobot sympathizer who was "killed" for that reason. sumdac just works with the info he has. i guess the message from this is that without details, some facts can become distorted.

    Yeah, but I don't even like Animated. I like bits of it, but as a whole, I don't like it, but I don't go around sayings it's immature and people who watch it are immature.

    It's not about worshiping Animated or hating it, it's about how you argue and why you don't like it.

    Congrats in trying Animated again, especially if you decided on your own (Which I'm sure you did).

    Yeah, I'd have to say that season 2 is much better than season 1. (Season 1 was good for the character development) And you won't be disapointed with the season 1 finalie either (I hooked one of my co-workers with the episode :D )

    That, on top of the fact that Sumdac is a total space cadet who is so addle-brained that he honestly forgets to *eat* for days at a time.

    Did Megatron even introduce himself to Sumdac as 'Megatron', for that matter?
