Watching Transformers Animated "Sari No One's Home"
Children getting their butts kicked by a slightly older kid
Hey, the Constructicons are back! Can't wait to see how they (our heroes) botch this up again.
Optimus makes the perfectly reasonable observation that a human child shouldn't be fighting robots the size of a building. He's right but the episode wants us to think he's wrong.
Megsy, being smart, asks Blitzy to go get the Constructicons, and not to get in a stupid fight with the autobots. Man TFA Megs is just so clever :)
Blitzy, being Blitzwing, ignores his orders and gets in a random fight with the autobots.
And the constructions, being two-month old children with simple needs, just want to find some fuel. Our heroes are treating them like dangerous criminals, because they're kind of stupid that way.
I mean, I know the Construticons are kind of crude and jerky, but again, Months-Old Basically Infants who have amnesia and no idea what any of this means, and our Oh So Empathetic heroes are a sting like they're grown adults.
Sari certainly doesn't help with this, since she's mad they broke her phone so she terrorizes the Basically Infants and kicks their butts.
I think this is supposed to make her seem badass and prove she's cool, instead it just seems like the heroes Effed up this situation again.
Megs, being smart, phones Blitzy to quit fucking around and do what he asked. TFA Megs clearly read the Evil Overlord List.
And because Megs like, actually listens to what the Constructicons care about, gives them what they need, and treats them like team members who can contribute instead of a problem, he's clearly gonna win this.
You see this is why evil will always triumph because Good is Dumb.
Who is your least favorite character from any series?
TFA Construticons. Out of all the new characters in Season Two, they overtook the story. Now I normally wouldn’t consider this a bad thing, especially because their story is a fascinating one: they’re two neutrals caught between two factions and forced to confusedly meager around wondering which side is benevolent to them. It’s all the more tragic knowing they hate getting played, yet Megatron is manipulating the shit out of them (though again, do note Megatron DOES make them Cons and keeps them around even after they served their purpose.) Generally I like what they did with it, but god, they’re just so fucking annoying. I hate their idiotic personalities, I hate their stupid Brooklyn accent (in Detroit?!), oh, and I especially hate how they seem to derail Bulkhead’s character development in the progress.
God, even the Jettwins are more lovable than these two and those guys pretty much pop out of nowhere that you have to buy the flippin’ comic book to understand (NOTE: Having to buy supplementary materials in order to piece a plot together because the main source couldn’t do it is not a good thing. SEE: Final Fantasy)
Go away and never come back. (Okay, I kinda like Scrapper in the “Human Error” saga, but he actually plays off well with the other Substitute Autobots. Also I am biased because I looooove the Substitute Autobots.)
I also wanted to add Transformers Prime’s Miko, but credit where credit is due, she got WAAAAAY less annoying in Season Two (if not due to the limited time onscreen by that point.) I mean, she hasn’t done enough for me to proclaim her as BEST HUMAN EVER (Lord noooo), but she’s officially reached “Mildly Tolerable.”
I’d also want to add the Racist Twins, Skids and Mudflap from the live action movie, but that’s too easy; everybody hates them.
