Product Description

Amazon.ca

The Transformers Animated series continues to reinvent the venerable robot-action franchise in fresh and often inventive ways, as evidenced by the adventures compiled in its sophomore season. The action picks up directly after the conclusion of Season 1, during which the city of Detroit was leveled in a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The cause of that fight--the AllSpark, source of life for all Transformers--was also destroyed, but all parties soon discover that the cube exists in fragmentary form in various locations around the globe. The recovery of these pieces naturally forms the crux of Season 2, though there is also the issue of The Key--the second greatest power in Transformers lore, and which currently resides in the precocious form of pre-teen Sari Sumdac. The Autobots must also concern themselves with protecting their precious human charge and worry about Starscream (voiced by Tom Kenney of Spongebob Squarepants), who harbors both a fragment of the AllSpark in his body and a long-simmering grudge against both the Autobots and Decepticons. If that sounds like a lot to digest, it's not--each episode neatly advances the central storylines while providing the required level of Transformers action and intrigue. The main strike against the show may be its overly stylized character design, which tends to rend humans in curious ways. That, however, should have only minimum impact on the show's core audience of younger viewers and franchise devotees. All 13 episodes of Transformers Animated's second season are contained in the two-disc set; a pair of commentaries on the final two episodes by the show's production team should prove interesting to those interested in the creative and conceptual aspects of the show. Viewers may find the two shorts on Disc 1, which take a decidedly offbeat approach to the characters, amusing or completely irrelevant. --Paul Gaita

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, great service, Nov 12 2011
This review is from: Transformers Animated: Season 2 (DVD)
I'm not going to get into the details of the show here, if you're ordering Season 2 odds are you've seen Season 1 and have decided you like it.

I just want to say I ordered this as a last minute birthday gift for my son. I placed the order on a Friday with his birthday being exactly a week from then, and I received it on the Monday. I couldn't have been more pleased! Thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Second Good Romp, Mar 16 2009
This review is from: Transformers Animated: Season 2 (DVD)
This season is almost as good as the first. Lots of action, laughs, and even a couple of character study-type stories. The main threads of the season are Sari's search for her father, everyone hunting for pieces of the Allspark, and Megatron trying to complete a space bridge.

We get to meet the Elite Guard that was mentioned so many times in Season 1. The first three episodes introduce a large part of Optimus' past with the Guard, especially his interaction with Sentinal. And we get to see Jazz! An excellent trio of stories, especially where the Headmaster makes a return.

There's another episode where the Constructicons show up, one in which we see how Bumblebee and Bulkhead met (with a special appearance by a certain 'bot), another where Starscream is forever trying to defeat Megatron (with hilarious results), and an episode dedicated to Prowl and what he could have been if he had taken up Lockdown's offer. A later episode has the return of a G1 character, complete with the original voice, which will give any fan of the original cartoon a thrill.

And speaking of Prowl, this season is the first time we get to see him actually transform. If you were paying attention, the audience never got to see him with a transformation sequence in the first season. This season, we see it once.

My only issue: The plot of breaking the Allspark and hunting for the pieces with a specific person/object is almost an exact duplicate of the Inuyasha main storyline.

Overall, if you enjoyed Season 1, you'll definitely like Season 2. Two thumbs up!

This review is from: Transformers Animated: Season 2 (DVD)
I really like Transformers, a lot! I was there at the dawn of the G1 Series, and have seen almost every other (Japanese) Transformer series that followed, including the very bad attempts at adapting a few of these series for the U.S. Though none of these series were on par with even the slowest/silliest G1 Episodes! Beast Wars, & Transformers: Armada were fun, for the most part and had some of the "spirit" of the G1 series, but weren't quite there. Now we have the newest series: Transformers Animated. I saw some of the early designs for the "new" versions of the classic characters at the San Diego ComicCon a few years ago, and thought that they might be a little too cartoony, but they still looked kind of cool. Although, I still cannot stand Optimus Prime with a mouth!!! Anyway, I started watching this series with my nephews, and found myself really enjoying the stories (simple as they are), and the animation as well. The first season is good, and the second season is a bit better. So, if you haven't watched any of this series, please give it a try. You might enjoy it more than you think you would!

This review is from: Transformers Animated: Season 2 (DVD)
TF Animated season 2 was one of the best seasons of any Transformers cartoon I have seen in a while. There are a lot of G1 cameos in this season, as well as all around great stories and artwork. Your going to be pleasantly surprised at the familiar faces that pop up and the season finale will get your heart beating.

As with the first season, not too much fancy stuff were put onto the disc.

I didn't include any episode summaries, in case you did not watch part of the season yet and would like to be surprised. Make sure to pick up "Transform and Roll Out DVD", and "Season One Box Set" to complete both seasons.

I'm an old school G1 fan who had almost everything Transformers growing up, and I absolutely love this series. Great for both children new to Transformers, as well as adults who will appreciate all the thought put into the series for older fans.

I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars ravage 24/7, Feb 1 2012
By Ryan M. Lutz "blood vamp" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Transformers Animated: Season 2 (DVD)
Transformers animated Season 2 is awesome!Megatron is finally completely functional again and out for vengence against the Autobots.The Autobots have to clean up the city and their image after a devastating battle with Megatron.The Allspark has been blown to pieces and the race is on to find all the shards.This season has plenty of compelling storylines with interesting plots and a great thrill ride of action all around.A fan favorite is introduced in the Constructicons who keep the G1 influence with the same witty attitude.Blackarachnia returns for another round as does one of the coolest looking animated characters in Bounty Hunter Lockdown.Season 2 is just as good as the first with some new characters and schemes by the Decepticon leader Megatron while his counterpart Optimus Prime really grasps the leadership role and the hero quality of the Autobots.Bottom line Transformers Animated Season 2 is a 10 out of 10 DVD experience that transformer fans of all ages will enjoy.I highly recommend Transformers Animated Season 2 to all transformer fans out there.Transformers Rule!!!
