Season 2, Episode 14: Dinobot Island (Part 1)
Dinobot Island Part 1
Powerglide and Bumblebee are heading to some strange energy readings, and I swear to cthulhu Bumblebee is sleeping with Optimus at this point. Seems like a kind of bermuda triangle type deal. Bumblebee gets caught by a Teradactyl, and Powerglide shoots the dino, but it drops Bee. He falls to the island, and Powerglide starts to fix his jetpack. The planet looks just like...
Season 2, Episode 13: The Insecticon Syndrome
Here’s as far as Phil got on this episode before he started to cry:
The Autobots are in a state park, looks like Washington. There’s some torn-up trees, and the park ranger is confused. The insecticons probably did it. Just saying.
Some giant figments are eating the trees. I think Starscream may be humping a tree and I don’t know how to deal with that. Oh god Bumblebee...
Season 2, Episode 12: The Core
Japanese title: “Defeat Devastar!” and ep 42 of their series
The Constructicons are drilling something, for some reason, and the rock is unstable. They have to stop, and alarms go off like it’s gonna blow the hell up, but it doesn’t. Longhaul loads stuff into Mixmaster, and they fix the cracks. Megatron calls them dicks, and set Mixmaster to check Scavenger’s...
Season 2, Episode 11: A Prime Problem
Soundwave has scanned something. Apparently Megatron and Starscream at jive buddies again. They’ve found some Colonium Crystals, and Soundwave keeps reminding me of Auto-Tuned News. The crystals be mad dangerous, yo. Starscream, like us, has never heard of these crystals, and Megatron calls him stupid. Scream wants to trick Optimus into leading the Autobots into the path of these crystals,...
Season 2, Episode 10: Enter the Nightbird
The japanese titles of this episodes are so much more poetic. “The Shadow of the Nightbird” has an almost classical quality to it.
Wheeljack’s got some new floor sensors, which I’m sure will be important later. Ssh. Doctor Fijuyama the Famous Scientist is on the Teletraan. He’s invented something he won’t tell them about over the screen, but he does say...

Mental Break
When I came back, Bumblebee was having carnal relations with my girlfriend. He was crying. She wasn’t.
Mental Health Break
Taking a break for Season 2 Episode 7.
Season 2, Episode 6: The Immobilizer
Wheeljack has created “the wheeljack instant immobilizer”. He creates a hologram of Lazerbeak, and Ironhide blows the room up thinking it was the real thing. Nobody wants to hurt Ironhide’s feelings, so they forgive him.
Bumblebee is playing video games in an arcade, and a girl is totally hitting on him. It’s kind of gross. Her name is Carly. Spike and Bee shoot back to...
Season 2, Episode 5: Traitor
This episode has two writers, which does not bode well.
Generic Scientists are working on something Very Dangerous. Starscream and another ‘Con bust in, and they’re about to steal some power cells. Megatron calls Starscream a putz and grabs the cells. Apparently if one of the cells explodes, it can “set off a chain reaction that will destroy the earth”. Starscream blows...
Why Won't Bumblebee Shut Up?

Season 2, Episode 4: Attack of the Autobots
The Decepticons are approaching the Ark, and Autobots Transform. Soundwave, Rumble and Lazerbeak distract the Autobots. Optimus’s warning diode is pulsing, which sounds creepy and gross.
Megatron apparently has invisibility spray, now. He and Starscream test it out on themselves, and effortlessly infiltrate the Autobots recharging chambers. The Decepticons leave, and the Autobots figure...
Season 2, Episode 3: City of Steel
Laserbeak takes some cheap shots at the streets while flying over New York. The Decepticons are arguing like an old married couple, and Megatron calls them on it. Longhaul is bored. Mixmaster shotos some acidy goop at the roof, and it falls down. Megatron: “Soon all of New York City Will be Mine” The Empire State Building is sinking.
Optimus rightly guesses that Megatron is behind...
Season 2, Episode 2: Changing Gears
The Decipticons attack some humans working at a gold mine, and they “capture” all the humans but one, who gets way to alert the Autobots. It’s all part of Megatron’s plan, whatever that means. The miners look like they could be a pop group from the time period.
Autobots transform, and roll on down. Some boring talk, and it’s a Robot Fight. Megatron turns into that...
“He’s not supposed to do that!”
– Sparkplug, regarding the rampaging Autobot Spike. Season 2 Episode 1

Season 2, Episode 1: Autobot Spike
Sparkplug creates a frankenstein-type autobot using spare parts, which he called Autobot X. Not the best name, but Sparkplug isn’t a poet, he’s a robot mechanic. Naturally, Autobot X instantly goes insane and starts smashing shit.
Before they can put Autobot X on ice, the DECPTICONS attack and things blow the hell up, like you’d expect. Spike is critically wounded in the...

24 Hour Transformers Marathon on TELETOON RETRO
Started about 7 hours ago. I will do my best to write something about each episode, chronicling my no-doubt eventual slide into madness.
