Description Sunstorm
Optimus Prime
Ratchet


Continuity: Animated
Acquired From: BotCon 2010
Accessories: instructions, Optimus Prime -- battle axe
Special Features: transform, Sunstorm and Optimus' optics "light up" when held up to light, Optimus' face mask slides down to show his face

You mean Kenya Starflight is actually buying Animated toys other than Blitzwing? Shock and horror!

Actually, I've been learning a bit more about Animated, and I must admit that I'm willing to give this show another shot -- it's definitley not G1, and it may not be as good as some of the other shows, but I should at least give it the benefit of the doubt before I dismiss it entirely.

That said, I do like the Optimus Prime of Animated, and for some reason I'm growing fond of Sunstorm in all his incarnations. Yellow Seekers are just so pretty... The tiny Ratchet just came with Sunstorm, I'm not sure I would have bought him seperate.

I just find it funny how Ratchet is so tiny compared to both of them.

Do give Animated another shot. The fact that it's not G1 doesn't mean Ruined Forever - it has its own charm that is unique to it. Sure, there's the silly and facepalming moments, but there are also the Crowning Moments.

Well, my main problem with Animated was that in places it seemed to be trying too hard to be a G1 homage, and thus was coming across as a knockoff rather than a true cartoon in its own right. Still, though, I think I should give it one more try before I decide for sure. A handful of episodes isn't enough to judge the whole show by, after all. And I do love some of the characters -- Blitzwing, Shockwave, Optimus, Jettwins...

That might be part of the problem. I approached Animated not as a G1 homage, but as the brand new series that it is. Sure, G1 homages and jokes all over the place, but with such a prolific franchise, it's bound to happen.
