Transformers Animated Season Two 

 

The WMG has always had a special place for Transformers. The toys are actually two toys in one; a robot, and a vehicle. Plus transforming them never gets old. Season One of Transformers Animated introduced the viewers to a very limited roster of the Autobots, and Decepticons. There were also plenty of changes from the 80's Transformers cartoon. Transformers Animated Season Two lets viewers dig deeper into this robotic world by introducing even more characters, and differentiating itself from previous cartoons even furthers. In a lot of ways this series makes a lot more sense, and fleshes out characters a lot more.

Transformers Animated Season Two has an almost anime look to it. The designers made the robots look more human, and less (well) robotic. The sizes of the various transformers is diverse, and that adds a layer of realism to the cartoon. There is violence in this cartoon which reminds the WMG of the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. A punch is thrown, the screen flashes, and the recipient is seen flying the other direction. The different transformers have different weapons, and this is a big improvement from the 80's cartoon (editor: which had all the robots shooting at each other a lot).

Voice acting in cartoons has come a long way over the decades. Transformers Animated Season Two has some great voice acting with a lot of emotion in each of the characters. There are some characters on these DVD's that are arrogant, rude, and plain mean. One of the episodes talks about bending the rules, and following ones gut. The character in question disobeys a direct order, and it is shown as the right thing to do. There are also episodes where characters apologize for being wrong, and they make amends.

Transformers Animated Season Two includes just under 300 minutes(297 to be exact) in 13 television episodes on the two DVD's. There is audio commentary, animated shorts, and a photo gallery. If you like Transformers, or well written cartoons, and are not bothered by the violence the WMG feels Transformers Animated Season Two is worth the money. Children that were allowed to watch this under the supervision of the WMG enjoyed it. The WMG liked the very intricate storyline that wrapped up some wonderful threads.

Paramount did a good job with the menu layouts in Transformers Animated Season Two. The background graphics never got in the way of the menus, and the offsetting colors of the display cursor worked fabulously. Transformers Animated Season Two introduces a lot of intrigue, and interest in the Transformer universe that has been created from imagination. The twists and turns in the plot were masterful, and many of them are shocking. The surprises at the end of the last episode were hinted at, but the WMG did not expect certain things. What will happen next season has the WMG eagerly anticipating the next season DVD release.

Transformers Animated Season Two has plenty of wonderful lessons. Optimus Prime does the right thing even when he is mistreated. There are a lot of other characters who also do the right thing, and help out their friends. This kind of grace, and forgiveness is well received here at Family Friendly Gaming. The evil characters worship a false god, destroy, act selfish and plenty of other normal bad behaviors. One of the most important lessons in this DVD package is you can decide who you will be. Don't let peer pressure tell you to be a certain way.
