Transformers Season Two


Transformers Season 2
4 Disc Set

After the defeat of the Decepticons, the Autobots had some leeway from fighting the bad guys. Sadly peace does not last for long, as Megatron and his armada bounce back from defeat. No longer just a team, but even more recruits join the opposing forces, including pushing some of their opponents to figure out where their trust actually lies.

Highlights on key episodes:

Dinobot Island - An Dinobots origin tale unfolds in two parts. From finding a lost island, and helping the new guys to get used to being on home base. And juggling control, since they still retain some of their wild qualities based on the creatures they were copied from.

Enter the Nightbird -
The Master Builders -
The God Gambit -

Extra notes to share:
Starscream – We actually learn about his scientific prowess, his IQ level, and attitude towards the defiance of the opposing team. Actually, he puts Optimus in high regard, even though they come from opposing sides. Including: taking the helm as leader of scouting teams.

Mirage – Which side is he really on? There are some moments in key episodes where he seems to be slipping in judgment. But he does come through in the end. Except confusing some of his comrades in the long run.

Megatron – Who knew the bad guy actually cared? There are many occasions where he takes a stand by his allies, or under control to fight for his side. It all comes down to a brotherhood, even on opposing sides somehow they come together. What drove him to be a villain all along is a quest for power. But it is also what gets him in trouble for his efforts.

Optimus – Although he is the leader of the Autobots, he can still make mistakes and learn from them. I think a lot of fans put that aside, whenever they think of the character. And it is not because of his leadership, that is excellent. There are just some boundaries throughout this second season that prove that Optimus was always self-conscience of everyone before himself. Even more fun, is the notion that he puts his trust towards Megatron in some situations.


The intro sequence is a bit more action packed than the first season. Plus it goes  by so fast, its best not to blink. I actually forgot how much went into the intro, on tv it was just the logo. Time seems to have treated this series pretty well.
