Akom's animation certainly was never stellar and they had some decent episodes here and there, but I never thought "City of Steel" or "The Autobot Run" were worth writing home about. Plus, this fact just coincided with plots I found lacking, even when I saw them in '85.<BR/><BR/>No big deal, with the sheer volume of episodes in Season Two there's bound to be some clunkers, but we still get a wealth of memorable ones too!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309120619929166056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-40406196340720273862009-03-17T18:09:00.000-07:002009-03-17T18:09:00.000-07:00D.M., I'd just like to mention that "City of Steel...D.M., I'd just like to mention that "City of Steel" has more animation mistakes than <I>any</I> other Transformers episode, including the third season's "Carnage in C-Minor" or any installment of "Five Faces of Darkness."<BR/><BR/>Food for thought.Zobovorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937442132663140091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-48417196257477615222009-03-17T17:23:00.000-07:002009-03-17T17:23:00.000-07:00"It features terrible animation"I disagree.Conside..."It features terrible animation"<BR/><BR/>I disagree.<BR/>Considering it was done by Akom, it's good.<BR/><BR/>I mean, just look at their season 3 work.
