Transformers: Prime - Season Two [Blu-ray]

Review by child of MominatorAs soon as season 2 was available, we got it and started watching it. Savoring every episode and sitting on the edge of our seat for the next. Of course, there were plot twists and things that happened in season 1 that affected the events of season 2. A very well done TV show, much more like an adult TV show rather than a children’s show. Love it so much! Great cast and story line, amazing! No one can say enough about this series, aside from it ended way too soon!Oh, two other things, the Star Saber's sound effects are actually Fizzy the unicorn's in the original My Little Pony TV show...kind of sad. Number two, I wish that Alpha Trion had been voiced by someone that made him sound more like Generation 1 Alpha Trion. Nothing against Mr. George Takei but he is not Alpa Trion, Mr. John Stephenson (G1) will always be Alpha Trion. Also, if you read Transformers Exodus, Exiles, & Retribution you get the feeling that Alpha Trion plays himself down. With Mr. Takei voicing him....he sounds too capable. I think he should have sounded more like G1. Just my opinion though.Be sure to tell Hasbro Studios how much you love this! Use the picture to know how to contact them. Don’t forget to ask when they are going to make another TF show like it! Make sure to ask about Transformers Prime Powerful Alliances!

I have been a fan of Transformers for years, but I really started to love the series when Armada began back in the early 2000's. Since then, I have seen several of the other continuities that have been made, many of which I felt weren't too good. I got around to watching G1 a few years back, not long after Transformers Animated had ended. Through this, I understood some of the things that I have never picked up on in any of the shows, and understood several references made throughout the trilogy of films.Transformers: Prime really hits home because it a mixture of the original series, the films, and the latest series of video games, while still living in its own reality. The characters are very well made, and portrayed. The animation is superb, and the action sequences are to die for. Although it is a completely CG (and very abstract) series, it is incredible, and is great for all fans of Transformers, young and old. New fans will appreciate the humor, connection to the films/games, and animation, while older fans will appreciate the callback to every single prior continuity, particularly G1.10/10 Would watch forever

Transformers Prime is back for Season 2, great action and story, if you liked season 1, you'll love season 2. The characters and the story are very well written, the audio and video are fantastic, they can't be better.The downside to all the goodness of transformers prime is the lazy extras, there is almost no extras for this release, no audio commentary, no making off that you can say its a real making off. There are a few interviews with some of the animators and creators of the show, but is very boring, they almost show no new content, no exclusive images, no big behind the scenes, and the people on the interview seems very bored and just waiting for it to end.The Peter Cullen, Optimus himself, interview almost makes you forget the lack of any interesting features of this set, it is a great intervie by Larry King.The Season 1 set has a lot of better extra content, and the limited edition includes a comic book!.Any way it is a must have for any Transformers Prime fan, you get what it says, Transformers Prime Season 2 and almost nothing more.

I would have waited an eternity for a Transformers series that could stand by the side of the original G1 and G2 shows. This is it, and maybe even better. The writing on this show is reverent to the original series, the 1986 animated movie, the Marvel and IDW comics, and the recent films. It is sharp and the stories really bring the characters more dimension, humans and cybertonians alike. Oh, yeah, the graphics. We've come a long way and TP shows it. On BluRay the character detail is amazing...if Optimus Prime has been in a fight, then there is clearly damage from the event. Last thing...this series will probably be the last time that Megatron and Optimus are voiced by Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, respectively. There was an old joke on Saturday Night Live that said that the voice box of their famous announcer Don Pardo was being transplanted into a tortoise so that he could continue his role as announcer for at least another 100 years. I wonder if Welker and Cullen would be open to such a suggestion?

This is such a great show! I have always been a fan of the franchise, with varying degrees of excitement. In my opinion, this is the definitive series in the franchise, because it pays homage to the G1 series that so many of us grew up with. The production values are top-notch, and the transformations are very well-done. They tip their hats to some of the comic mythology, as well. The theme of the series is more serious than those that came before, but there are several bits of humor tucked in at appropriate points. The casting deserves special mention, because they got Peter Cullen and Frank Welker for Optimus and Megatron (the only 2 people who are truly qualified for the roles), Ernie Hudson (from Ghostbusters), and a whole cast of great supporting characters. I used to think that the Beast Wars series was the best, but this series blows that out of the water. If you like Transformers, get this - you won't be disappointed!
