    I'd like a serious fan dub sometime. Not a gag dub version either.

    Overlord being a agent of Unicron is the only thing interesting.

    I never realised how violent Overload was...then again, I’ve yet to read More than meets the eye.

    Animation was still good, but the dialogue...eh.

    Anyway, next episode should be interesting, with
    Volcanicus and Predaking battling it out

    Also, Victorion continues to not be an effective bot, yet is still alive.

    He was much more violent in Wreckers and MTMTE.

    Another Prime Wars cartoon, another horrendous waste of Computron.

    I think Victorion will die in this series when she meets Overlord and Cron.

    Cron is much more calmer and more collected version of Rodimus. I also notice Cron is more confident but not even overly so. He didn't even hesitate to kill those Combiners. Also a danger of Cron disposing Overlord when he appears weak and useless.

    Idk I mean hes working for megatronus who defeated Unicron. It’s weird he’s just switch. I know that’s the original portrayal but I wonder if he and his proxies just using unicrons power to further his own agenda.

    Then again it’s probaly just that. Working to finish what unicron planned which is destroy everything

    Awesome, can’t wait to watch it. Unfortunately, I’m still too darn busy.

    [Continue’s staring at that brick wall from last episode’s board.]

    That's like saying that a root canal is better than chemotherapy. I really want to be able to like these, but even if I watched this at midnight and half asleep, I still was awake enough to know how rubbish this thing really is.

    Freaking Rescue Bots has been the only remotely decent Transformers fiction in the past couple of years. With the downward QC spiral of the official toys now fully enabled at Takara's end as well as the now-normal Dollar Store QC from Hasbro, it's really becoming more frustrating to follow anything official these days.

    There's still some good 3P offerings, when they aren't all releasing the same exact same characters in barely distinguishable from each other toys all at once.

    I'm slowly finding myself getting more and more Gunpla and checking out the original Korean robot toys. Hopefully the tripling down take of reboots brings me back to my favorite hobby. If there is a Primus, hopefully Machinema is far far away from any future animations.

    Omg. So much wasted voice talent. And the plot?

    Let's hide from Volcanicus.
    Volcanicus walks in a circle and yells.
    Rodimus Evilness blows holes in combiners.
    Combiners live. Until they die.
    Overlord wants to kick Menasor in the nuts to find Megatron.
    3 stupid bots kinda fight Volcanicus.
    Predaking comes out of nowhere and REALLY wants the enigma of combination.
    The end.

    I died of laughter listening to the tink tink noise of Victorion’s feet! She’s the lightest combiner ever

    This series is terrible. Why are they wasting their money on this crap? Voice acting is terrible. Plot is terrible. Everything moves so slow.

    So when you think about it shouldn't Rodimus Cron be called "Rodicron Uni"?

    just watched and... this was something lol:

    - I didn't expected Volcanicus' mouth to actually be a mouth, I thought it was a faceplate to be honest.
    - highlight of the episode is obviously Overlord kicking Menasor in the crotch.
    - Combiners have never been this useless... and this it's saying something...
    - To me is kinda weird that Menasor feels something for Devastator's pain, I mean, I get the kind of truce they are in but they are still decepticons souls... to me at least.
    - Did I just heard an "Oh Sh---!" when Volcanicus punched Windblade?!... you whant to be edgy soo bad, cool lol

    All and all at the moment this is unsurprisingly bad, I can't say it's better than the past two shows because that is not even an achivement to be honest.

    I thought some people were just being overly negative....and then I watched it. The cajun Overlord is as bad as I expected and the combiners are pointless now. Somehow they take 5 individual transformers and turn them into a single shitty version. It's like the exact opposite of what the combing process is supposed to do. Only thing I do like is the faceplate on nemesis hot rod. Really would have liked that to be the face for the figure. I do mean the Hot Rod and not the Rodimus mode, cause the handle bar sg mustache is awesome.

    Have not seen it yet but I have to ask, did this Dashiegames guy even try to act this time? :D 

    I googled that because what a stupid name that is and...
    ... why is someone driving a mech by using a motorcycle-riding-posed girl as a driving apparatus, complete with handlebars on their ass? WTF Japan???

    I noticed an animation error. Overlord crushes Menasor's hand but when he has the combiner in a headlock the hand is back.
    They're basically Power Core Combiners at this point. No wonder they suck. If they were normal combiners they'd split apart when they're components are damaged.
