I'm not 100% on that. Not to mention the fact that they already made money from using him so they no longer 'needed' him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-70593156695438096992009-02-08T17:39:00.000-08:002009-02-08T17:39:00.000-08:00Thanks, Bishbot!

I can understanding dismissing the dubbed version outright, but the subtitled series stills holds interest. I don't agree with all the choices made for this series, such as what happens to Cybertron, but it doesn't stop me from accepting the series on its own terms...<BR/><BR/>Jimtron - Ah yes, "The Complacency of Cyclonus" should have been an episode! Find out how he lost all backbone after "The Return of Optimus Prime"! :)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309120619929166056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-61706740469217697162009-02-08T15:29:00.000-08:002009-02-08T15:29:00.000-08:00Good point about Cyclonus.

It's an odd archetype to choose for the loyal, powerful and capable Decepticon 2nd in command from S3.Jimtronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138709079942253485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-82728320050508641932009-02-08T15:28:00.000-08:002009-02-08T15:28:00.000-08:00Great review, interesting to know about the simila...Great review, interesting to know about the similarities to and differences from the Sunbow cartoon. I haven't watched these episodes yet, but I suspect your opinion would be quite similar to mine.<BR/><BR/> A lot of discussion of the Japanese series that I've seen seems to be a little marred with people either too pleased with the Japanese-style novelty of the thing, or, on the other hand, just unable to watch because they're too different.<BR/><BR/>Neither is a very interesting viewpoint. I prefer your way - to point out what works when credit is due, and what doesn't, when it isn't.Bishbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429304622553626284noreply@blogger.com
