You know, I don't think I ever met Armada Blurr in the television show. A shame, I would probably have liked him more than any of the other Autobots.

I think I saw some of the late episodes with him and Side Swipe in them. Blurr does seem to have wandered in from another show by mistake.

Episode 19, the voice over intro has changed, it's less comically poor.
Not a terrible episode, amazing. Coincidence that the Decepticons are largely absent? Still to much Alexis. Still cant remember the name of her minicon no wonder he is pissed off with her the entire time.
Episode 20. Watching the counter on the Veronica Mars Kickstarter.com page is much more entertaining. $300,000 to go and we'll have a VM movie. So exciting. 1,703,860 ..... 1,705,120 soon, so soon. Oh look Blur has arrived. Apparently Blur is cool. Blur reminds me how cool Drift is. Drift is cool.... 1,709,643. Hurry up and add some international rewards I want a VM tshirt dammit. Drift is doing something dirty with his weapon. Naughty naughty out in public like that. 1,714, 566. Angry minicon, angry minicon. I love how they linger on animated shots that require little to no real effort, it means the animated sequences have less energy than a lot of the stills. $1,732,321....... Go kids tell him of he deserves it, but remember your the morons stroking his ego all the time. $1,741,502 talk of full frontal nudity and character deaths to raise funding.... Thats nice they bonded over losing the bloody minicon. Incompetent twits.
Episode 21. Another new voice over, this one is idiotic. I dont like it. Boo. $1,752,621 How long before Whedon is forced to announce a Kickstart Firefly miniseries. Not long hopefully. Go mincons go, kill him, kill him. Aww, its just training, still accidents happen. $1,770,594 close so close. Armada fights are so bad, I can't take another one. $1,775,011. Woohoo!! Why is Starscream finding Cyclonus calling him a moron, adorable?
It's over no more, not today. $1,824,784 Mars goodness getting nearer.

Transformers Armada episode 22 -
er, that was an episode.

Episode 23 - I'm starting not to notice the lack of animation.
So sideways who has the skyboom shield and the other minicon combiners? Autobots or Decepticons? LMK when you make up your mind.
Some incredibly confusing dialogue aaside this is a decent episode. Theres even some animation.
*sigh* justwatched out of order. 24 not 22. Transformers Armada episode 24 - the kids learn about internet security.
I see we have a new animator today. He loves his shot from below weirdly elongated kids.
That sentence seems wrong. But so is everything I'm learning from this episode about the dangers of the internet.
I'm with Fred, what the hell is going on?
Ah why do they keep doing that. One of the kids states exactly whats happening, then a few seconds later someone else tells them what has just been stated and then they all act totally surprised as if it hasnt occurred to any of them.
Wait what. Did they think Laserbeak was dead? If so why is no one confused about his return. If not what kind of sick trick is Red Alert playing?

Episode 25 Tactician And incredible undefeated tactician arrives to aid the Decepticons. But they loose any way thanks to the arrival of Jetfire.
The episode ends with some very awkward greetings, which dont come over nearly as nice as they are meant to, probably thanks to more inept translations.

Episode26
He introduced himself as second in command last episode so why is it such a surprise now.
Fight fight fight. TRAP! fight fight fight. Prime to the rescue. Jetfire PANTS!
Starscream just crashed in to a CLOUD!!! Jetconvoy is suddenly back to Prime. I'd call it an animation error if ya know there was any animation.
No Rad, your introduction was last bloody episode.

Episode 27
It's a bad sign when the youtube pop up ad is more entertaining than what I'm watching.
"Promise you wont get angry with me" ha.
In may respects this translation is worse than the Headmasters dub. So depressing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Flashbacks.
I'm half way through, half way. Less than half to go.

That was the episode they had different animation for Japan - better with the shield being like the toy.

At least, compared to watching the show in the original language - at least the dub on Headmasters adds comedy value to the show. I may be peeling in to join this watch at about episode 22 - so a bit "in media res" but it doesn't sound like I've missed much anyways... Karl

Transformers Armada Episode 19 - VACATION
Back to it, just drawn tomorrow's DS and finished a cuppa.
Awful narration from Rad. It feels like I have never been away. Oh look we also get some wank narration from Alexis. Oh joy.
Well done to Rad and Carlos, for doing the smart thing and leaving her behind and ignoring her, oh gods I can't be arsed with this. Just so bloody insipid, and tedious and all those other words that mean it's shit.
I WISH I WAS DRINKING HEAVILY RIGHT NOW.

Transformers Armada Episode 20 - Reinforcement.
TEA DEPLOYED.
Starts in media res.
Nice we reminder Laserbeak exists, hammering home that with the Star Saber the Decepticons are too powerful. Loving Blurr, he realises he's surrounded by useless idiots. He's not there to make friends but find bots he can trust in battle. So, Laserbeak then.
Wow the kids go all obnoxious on Hot Shot instead of Blurr cos he's new and cool. Fuck them, little wankbags.
Nice bromantic ending with Blurr and Hot Shot and Optimus Prime and Scavenger.
A definite improvement on recent episodes.

Transformers Armada Episode 21 - Decisive Battle
What's this new narration specific to this episode? STAGGGERING! Megatron beats a giant asteroid using the Star Saber and Skyboom shield.
More Blurrdickery which is amazing. Smokescreen is brain-damaged in the extreme.
Really dull battle episode and oh look some glowy light gets sent into space, and everyone stops and retreats and Prime ends up somehow with the Skyboom shield.
Jeebus, a return to dross.

I have given up. Quite frankly, making myself watch 22 minutes of shit every day has become tiresome and lost amusement for me. Only so many times I can write: 'This is crap'. I have a mountain of other media to work through (mostly audio!).

I watched most of season 2 of TF Prime this week as I feared catching on to more spoilers, I appreciated it all so much more after the Armada horrors.

I am going to finish this. I am.
Episode 28 and 29 Enter Tidalwave. Initially beaten by being flipped upside down. Kids chase around after a minicon.
This show is always at its weakest during battles, the animations cheapness means they just cant put the energy needed into battles, so to my surprise this wasnt terrible. It helps that a lot of the tidalwave animation is okay and adds a little personality even menace into the character.
Miko is such a pleasure to watch when compared to Alexis who is getting worse each episode. Power has gone to her head, at least he belief she has power any way.
What I hate, really really hate is that this show still makes me want to own Jet Convoy as crap as it is it still manages to sell me on how cool those toys should be, but they aren't, ignore that they are bricks and they still dont even look good. It all just makes me angry.

Episode 30 The kids decide that as the Requiem Blaster minicons dont want to fight that they cant trust the Autobots to do the right thing. Instead they run away with them, the most powerful weapons in the show so far and they think its safer to runaway on a bus.
How many kinds of stupid is this episode? The kids are annoying but that stupid? No, this is just bad writing.

Episode 31 The Past Ah ha! This is one that is the basis of the Mosaic of Matts I did the art for. I have to admit I did not watch it when doing the drawings. Was this a good thing or not? Lets see.
Hmm my drawings are at least similar to the flashback, but then I did use screen shots. Oh bugger, comments page has caught me out, Starscream should be blue by that point in the story. But lets focus on the cartoon and not my failures.
And now Sideswipe has turned up. Stupidest toy of all time? Maybe. But dam no need for Hotshot and Blur to be arse holes with him. Now Wheeljack turns up, he is still bitter.But claims he wants to put the past behind him and to move on so that he and Hotshot can battle as enemies.
Right!
Bloody hell this is a two parter.

On second thought I have decided to blame Blueshift for not specifying Blue Starscream. Yes, it's his fault. Nothing to do with my poor research efforts.
Argh,this show is making me like Sideswipe for some reason.
I've had a Sideswipe in a box to put on ebay for weeks, I've never transformed it, until now. I cant believe how much effort was put into a transformation the results in such a terrible robot mode. Utter madness.

The despair radiating from this thread is tangible. Andy T and Ralph both made it to episode 21 before jacking it in out of sheer disgust while Andy K made it as far as 31 before he could take no more. A heroic effort.
Congratulations all round.
