So I made the mistake of watching “Transwarped” while I was still upset about/disappointed in TFP.
And now I basically feel like I invited someone to come over here and punch me in the feelings a whole bunch of times.
Everything. In that ep. Was heart-wrenching. Why couldn’t the Orion Pax arc…
I have never seen Transwarped before. I might try that show out someday. The way the parts 3 as a whole ended was shameful. Transformers Animated had its flaws too, but at least it had a version of Optimus Prime who learned how to be a leader and a pretty great story that really kicked off in at the end of season 1 and all throughout season 2 and 3. I will still watch Transformers Prime, but my expectations will not be as high as they used to be. The writers could have done better than this. Transformers Prime is still a great show in the franchise, but it needs some serious work done.
“Transwarped” is a TFA episode, actually. Or, to be more precise, a TFA mini-movie that they broke into 3 chunks for airing.
Yeah, I definitely don’t think Animated was, like, flawless or anything— far from it!— but it outshines TFP and I’m not sure if TFP will be able to overcome its own, more significant flaws enough to ever really rival TFA.
What’s the TFA episode? Was that the series premiere or the season 3 premiere, or the finale? I thought you were talking about the “Beast Wars” episode with Transmutate, that was a tearjerker.
