Man loving all these guest voices

 

Swindle = :awsum loving the fact hes more of a arms dealer than just someone who gets shot if he pisses off megatron hoping he comes in more eps

 

also hoping his toy comes with all those weapon addons :07evil

It was nice to see another transformer on earth again that wasn't made by the All-Spark.

I wo't stand for all these Professor Princess haters. You're all obviously jealous.

Unicorn envy. :P

 

In all fairness it seemed like it was implied that Swindle was done for. They said he was going to be stripped for parts. That doesn't sound like something he'll get up from.

As Father Time said, that wouldn't work because the effect of Slo-Mo's AllSpark device is only temporary. Swindle would be fully operational again long before they could impound him and go through all the legal paperwork to have him stripped.

 

Maybe that's where his spark is, lol

 

BRAWN'D

Hehehehehehehe. :D

 

Not a bad episode. I'd forgotten Swindle was due to make an appearance. It wasn't his 'flat head' that bugged me, it was the fact the the eyes and mouth were way too big. It looked weird.

Go grab your G1 Swindle toy and have a close look - see those massively huge purple Shojo Animé eyes? Yup - it's always been there. :)

 

Sailor Moon'd!!

 

They need to kill the princess. Worst character they'd ever invented.

 

Damn straight.

 

I think she's great! :D I was glad to see her included in the S.U.V. In fact, I hope we see them again, only even more capable after some time to practice and mesh as a team. :D

 

I'd say you're in a minority there, my friend. :P

 

Professor Princess and other human supervillains (including the Headmaster) are turning out to be Animated's equivalent to G1's Wheelie and Daniel! Annoying and making far too many prominent appearances - although in :animated Season 2 they've become a lot less prominent than Season 1, which is a good thing. The lameness of Wheelie and Daniel alone wasn't what hurt the post-movie seasons of G1, it was the fact that they were so damn prominent! Wheelie got more air time than freakin' Sky Lynx... (-_-)

 

I don't mind if they kept these characters as one-scene wonders, but I hope we don't see them dominate any more episodes. (-_-) Although having a Decepticon as the main mastermind did help save this episode from complete suckage.

Swindle is made of :win for sure. His new characterization is awesome and very befitting of the name. I like how there are more faction-neutral characters (yes, Swindle is technically a Decepticon but I'm sure he'd sell anything to anyone for the right price). I'm also sure we'll see him again.

 

I really thought this episode was going to be a throwaway but I ended up really liking it. But then again, I didn't expect it to have a Transformer villain.

 

Speaking of which, does anyone think that as awesome as Swindle is, Fred Willard's voice doesn't fit the character perfectly? He's a great actor and does a wonderful job but his voice just doesn't say "treacherous, conniving arms dealer" to me.

I have no idea who Fred Willard is - I followed the IMDB link and I still have no idea - but I thought his voice was fine for Swindle. :)

Just finished watching the episode. I thought the "bolo" on Swindle was a bit odd. (When I heard that, I thought it'd be like an actual bolo and move about. Not a bolo-like decoration.) Everyone else has pretty summed up my feelings on the SUV group, and Swindle.

 

As for the Slo-Mo gizmo, affecting Swindle; I think the reasons it's less of a temporary thing: A.)it was attached to his hand when he was hit by the reflected attack. (I just re-watched the scene. It doesn't look like it flies off when he transforms back to his alternate mode.) and/or B.) The delay while waiting for Bumblebee to show up, kind of also feels like he might of been "charging" it for a stronger attack. Even if it's still temporary, I wouldn't be surprised if it wore off either while, or just as the police finish stripping him down.

 

Aoi

Even if it's not temporary, I still don't know why the Autobots didn't seize him à la Ultra Magnus' orders. (-_-) Sadly moments like this (and allowing the Constructicons to walk away) kinda justifies Sentinel Prime's view toward Optimus Prime and his crew as being ill-suited combatants.

 

"Ha ha! Amateurs!"

 

...of course, Sentinel did allow himself to get decapitated by a human. :P d:

I laughed out loud when Sari reprogram the receptionist bot's welcoming phrase.

 

And Swindle is :awsum :awsum

 

But still, lacks of action from Prime. Season 1 :: Bulkhead & Friends. Season 2 :: Bumblebee & Friends?

 

Hopefully Swindle will return despite Fanzone's decision to "put him on police auction".

Even if it's not temporary, I still don't know why the Autobots didn't seize him à la Ultra Magnus' orders. (-_-) Sadly moments like this (and allowing the Constructicons to walk away) kinda justifies Sentinel Prime's view toward Optimus Prime and his crew as being ill-suited combatants.

It's like the 50 years they spent in underwater stasis has caused the cybertronian equivalent of brain damage, causing them to forget things like Magnus' orders and those moral lessons they have to keep relearning. This might even explain why Prowl is apparently bi-polar now.

Carp, double posted.
