From kendrick@io.com Mon Mar 20 18:32:23 1995 Article: 6911 of alt.toys.transformers Path: illuminati.io.com!nobody From: kendrick@pentagon.io.com (Kendrick Kerwin Chua) Newsgroups: alt.toys.transformers Subject: TF Weekdays: Monday 12 Sept Date: 12 Sep 1994 08:25:29 -0500 Organization: Illuminati Online Lines: 42 Message-ID: <351ks9$ifg@pentagon.io.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: pentagon.io.com Implied spoilers follow, although since these episodes are ten years old I won't presume that anyone's not seen them. Since I work in the lab at nine, and I've decided to record the episodes every morning at 8:30 (and because I like to hear myself talk,) I'll take it upon myself to rediscover each episode as they air it. Today was the creation of Snarl and Swoop, and the temporary defection of the other three original Dinobots. No title screen was given, just like they used to not do with these early episodes. The evil invention/alien device this episode was a meteorite with unstable energies (whatever those are). Megatron tried and failed to make energon cubes from this. More and more they are choosing to re-air episodes where Soundwave plays a pivotal role in plot advancement. I can only hope that they reissue something resembling the toy, at very least the Action Master. Also, we are seeing more of the Autobot Cars that weren't reissued. I don't know why, but that stupid Cybernet Space Cube (tm) is beginning to grow on me. They began to do neater stuff like have the A/D symbols morph into one another, and neato 3-D scrolling stuff that wasn't present in the Saturday morning episodes. I guess that the softer edges on the com0puter graphics remind me of Andy Wildman's more organic art on the TF's. Or maybe I'm just babbling. Toys that they should reissue cause they are prominent in this episode: Swoop Sludge Soundwave Bluestreak/Prowl (at least one of them...) Wheeljack "Why you Grimlock stop me Slag?!" "Me not know." "Me Sludge not know too..." KKC, can only hope that Clastier got the syndication rights correct this time so that everybody saw the same episode today. And I still don't have Dreadwing, dammit. -- Kendrick Kerwin Chua - kendrick@io.com - "No way, you're just a little stiff" Necronomicon FAQ author, Transformer collector, cartomancer.
