    G1 colours.

    Except it doesn't, it has great BB and Bulkhead moments not to mention the best of Blitzwing.

    Frankly, I'm glad it's not an introductory episode but instead leads up to one in the future. the "Hey, look who's here! Love him and but his toy!" may work for Allspark characters like Wreck-Gar who can return, but for real transformers it's nice to just have them take their time while adding to the plot as they do.

    He doesn't speak THIS EPISODE, dude. You're acting like he's never coming back or something.Just because he didn't speak TODAY, doesn't mean he's not going to speak TOMORROW.

    We knew for a while he had no speaking role in this ep.

    I know he's coming back, taht's what I just said, but what does "Not me" mean?


    I still loved Bulkhead's "Underground? You mean they race in tunnels?" :lol

    His engines sounds amazing! BB can't even catch him with his boosters! I love the glow effect he has!

    Need screen captures!

    I meant I didn't know Blurr was going silent in his first appearance. Blurr= Silent? Impossible! What was the point of him showing up when he can't talk or transform at all. I might pass this episode unless Blitz really is awesome as you say he is.

    Yeah, I know. It's supposed to build SUSPENSE. Make you want to know what's up with the car and hense, you watch the show more until it's finally revealed "OMG HE WAS ANOTHER ROBOT HE WAS SO SNEAKY!" and he starts to be this great character. (With John Moschita as his VA, he better be a good character to make up for that horrid voice)

    And Blitzwing is awesome and so are BB and Bulkhead. (I'm surprised how relatively little of Sari there was, though. Like, she was there, but she kept to herself more than usual)

    Just watched it now, video taped it while I was out but err it was an ok episode. Blurr never transforms, talks or anything. I was hoping that he'd transform mid-air when he rushed off the ramp and flew towards Blitzwing. The whole example things was ok with BB and Sari, I guess it might play into his development later if he becomes part of the Elite Guard as the repaint version of him seen at Botcon 08.

    Thanks Split_Lip! I'm guessing this portrayal of Blurr is calm and leet, though everything he does is still 'fast-forwarded'. One of the top agents in the Elite Guard, like Jazz.

    It's going to be hilarious to see the quiet fast guy with the annoying voice.

    I'm dreading Blurr's voice. I hated, not, despised G1 Blurr for his hideous voice. I can only hope they gave him pointers to either slow it down, make him actually talk fast instead of just repeat words over and over and sound like an idiot, or change the pitch of his voice so he doesn't sound... like an idiot.

    Good Ep. Really enjoyed the racing and the interactions between BB, BH and sari
    Just watched it on PVR - can't handle commercials...

    Surprised that Optimus kept the "device" in one piece. I'm sure that it will come into play in the future.

    So, I wonder if Blurr will bite the dust in # 26-27

    I doubt it. They seem very hesitent to actually kill off characters.

    the guy who did blurrs voice in g1 is actually really cool, but due to the rushed production they just ended up having him repeat phrases over and over rather than talking quickly, but making sense. the amount of stuff he can memorize and repeat without error is amazing. if you dont believe me check him out:



    or perhaps more impressive:
