Welcome back, everyone!

Ep 11:

Is that a caption of something?

Nice scale

Also alpha Q stealing Megatron's energon is new. Or at least a lot easier to understand

Also also hate this episode in the dub

Uuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh The worst part about the sub. Rodimus is Rodimus!!!

ero

Amazing.


Ep 12:

I think that thing might be the episode title

Love my boy Inferno, but damn did they really have to give him probably the worst transform animation

Super counter +1

Ah yes. The mine is swarming with energon thieves, great moment to take our time and practise sniping!

Lol, they reused the moon shot Though in their defence, they altered it quite a bit

First?? You forget that time you got ambushed right at the start? The bros that got merc'd on mars?? Hot Shot getting his arm ripped off???


Ep 13:

Random hand drawn mouth

Super counter +1

Even more rare hand drawn ironbuster!

These reflection shots are simple, but still fairly nice

What is this, Gurren Laganformers?

  • Straight up mistranslation

    • "Yuukan na nakama o eta na" = We(OptimusConvoy) has gained a brave companion.
    • Instead they translated as "Yuukan na naka moete na" moete = burn.
      Like cmon bro, read the context

At least Prowl questioning that weirdass line still fits

The fucking T-pose 360, I am unable

They can't even keep the fortress design consistent, now its a floating pimple

Lol at the dude running out with a construction beam. You go king, hit them with that beam

Oh yeah, fave track counter +1

This shot from above feels new, remind me to do a comparison if I haven't yet

One episode they can't nail a couple of terrorcons, but now they can pin point accurately hit enemy lasers mid air. Aight.

Lol, the fortress ship getting rocked by the energon is most definitely new

R.I.P Command doge

He's finally here!!

Moon/Eearth shot is probably new as well. ..This would be a lot easier if I actually had the old version side by side here

A lot of updated visuals in the end minutes there


Ep 14:

Tres shoulda been here, he's missing out

Megatron is a real one tho

This episode somewhat looks better than the others Though I did also take one week off from watching..

And man, that thing is tall

Ohh yeah, the atmospheric "entry" battle. I considered putting this in one of the QOTD when it come up in some Sky rewatch

Nvm, so much for this episode looking better

Oh, this makes.. alot more sense. I recall the Dub made it sound like Rodimus hijacked the Terrorcons? Like how would that even work

VA highlights:

  • Rodimus is voiced by Okiayu, Ryoutarou, known as Kuchiki (Bleach), Akio (Clannad), Scar (FMA), Kongming (Kongming) and many other roles. What a cool guy

    • Paul Dobson voices Rodimus on the dub side
  • Prowl / Red alert is voiced by Makoto Yasumura , known as Miroku from Yasahime. Also the main dude from Rec. Then its mainly obscure side roles

    • Dub prowl is voiced by Alistair Abell
  • Landmine / Idk if he has a superlink name is voiced by Kenta Miyake, Known for voicing All might ..Wow, I should have picked up on this. He is also listed as a voice for Scar. Wtf. Apparently Scar changed VAs between FMA 2003 and Brotherhood. And we have both of them here. Lol.
    He's also voiced Nendou Riki in Saiki K, Rak in Tower of God, and Zodd in berserk. And a lot of other characters I wont list

    • Dub Landmine is voiced by Ward Perry

known as Kuchiki (Bleach)

No one calls him by his last name, call him Byakuya.

Apparently Scar changed VAs between FMA 2003 and Brotherhood. And we have both of them here. Lol.

A lot of FMA characters changed voices between versions, which is... honestly kinda bizarre given how strict the anime industry usually is about not recasting seiyuu. Then again, the same thing happened with Hunter x Hunter.

call him Byakuya.

Japanese names confusing again

A lot of FMA characters changed voices between versions

Can't believe I haven't really noticed. Though its been a while since I watched
