    Overlord is basically Negan.

    Hasbro is cracking down hard on YouTube uploads of the episode, likely because they'll upload it onto YouTube themselves once the show has concluded.

    I guess the slight improvement in the first episode was a false alarm. All the crappiness is back with a revenge. It's so slow and boring that I think it can kill me.

    "No interrupting, concocting."
    Really?
    Why can't Victorion just have her head blown off so we don't see or hear that ridiculous character anymore.

    Combiners are now easily beaten. Somehow Devastator survives having his entire torso turned into a doughnut, but Computron is dead in one shot. When combiners die they lose one giant spark?

    So Rodimuscrons' little hand blaster is more powerful than Optimus Prime or Megatron's cannon?

    Predaking and Volcanicus just because.

    Whatever promise this had went into the dumpster.

    What are the bets megatronus turns in overlord once he’s done all he wanted and overlord becomes some sort of anti-hero/bad good guy at the end or at least helps out Megatron and the autobots somehow? That line between him and Megatron and the shitty writing make it seem pretty likely to me....

    agree that Victorian is REALLY irriatating and windblade continues to be ridiculously over powered to the point of making it unbearable. “We had the dinobots easily under control” WTF?! So Victorian, whingeblade and preceptor can easily do the dinobots?! Come that’s ridiculous....

    I love that the Combiners apparently have one spark each, thereby confirming that the show creators don’t know/care/comprehend that they’re actually 5-6 Transformers.

    So, I still haven't really got the foggiest on what's going on, or why even though I watched CW and TR...

    Rodimus (Uni)Cron(us) is kind of cool I suppose; I love the perverseness of him having Optimus's faceplate, which is better than the bearded thing the figure has going on.

    I enjoy how dark it is but still wish they would just release it all as one piece.

    Show rodimus wouldn’t have the beard since I’m pretty sure he’s still the hot rod body which also had the faceplate in the last show

    Someone please extinguish Victorion, Perceptor, and Windblade!

    Volcanicus portrayed as bumbling idiot sucks; Predaking is even worse, wants the Enigma of Combination when already combined.

    Computron was pathetic, Devastator and Menasor at least showed some potential.

    Rodimuscron has some serious firepower!

    Megatronus' plan is obvious:
    -Use Overlord and Rodimus to do all the dirty work just like AOE Lockdown (wipe the board clean).
    -Now the major plan:

    Matrix of Leadership + Enigma of Combination + Requiem Blaster + TFs sparks + head of Unicron = revival of the doomsday planet

    It IS a stupid name and a stupid set-up, but that's Studio Trigger's thing. They like to do some ridiculous premises even for low-brow Japanese standards, but they put a tremendous budget on their animation and acting so it looks and acts amazing. Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia (very normal and very enjoyable show. Think Harry Potter), and Inferno Cop are their best known projects. Darling in the Franxxx is currently a controversial hot topic for anime fans on its spin on...relationships per se thanks to it's current 15 episodes. I'd explain it all here but I've yet to see the show and some of my friends who have really, REALLY hate it.

    ...I'm really not fond of DitF and I'd still watch it over PotP.

    A friend of mine who's watching it explained the basic concept to me. I replied, "so it's like Pacific Rim, only more awkward"
    For what it's worth I've since seen the first 6 episodes, its okay. I'd buy a Strelizia if they make one that turns into the lion mode.
