Masterforce



Okay, I loved Headmasters, but I ADORE Masterforce (ps I use a more graphic verb for my feelings about Victory). Basically, this is Transformers crossed over with Power Rangers, and thus is pure love, so here's my run down again:

LOVE

There are ZOMBIES in episode 2 and 3!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Well Destroids technically)
Sixknight is basically Batman here, he appears from nowhere to save the day, and then goes away again...plus he can probably breathe in space <<
There are loads of non-animated-before characters here again, plus a lot of them use their Western counterpart's colours instead of the proper Japanese ones (weird) So we get DoubleDealer instead of Doubleclouder etc
The Humans actually do stuff instead of standing around cheering on the robots
The Pretender Technology makes more sense than in the Marvel comics
Brilliant Music and Animation
The Transtectors are able to drive by themselves as well as being driven (showing that they have some sentience)
The bases for both factions get destroyed quite a lot, requiring the factions to use some base modes instead (ie Overlord's base mode and Ginrai's one)
Master Braces are cool....AND COME IN KINDER EGGS!!!!!
They have very catchy catchphrases (MASTERFORCE!!! PRETENDER!!! SUIT ON!!! HEAD ON!!! GOD ON!!!)
Characters die, and then don't appear again in crowd scenes (here's looking at you Prowl!)
Wilder kills a puppy, just so Minerva will fight...WAHHHHHH (lol the puppy is named "Pis"
There's quite a bit of faction swapping as well, especially after DEvil Z starts showing his desire to kill all humans
Lightfoot is gay for Ginrai :D

HATE

THE DUB!!! MINERVA IS NOT NIGHTBEAT!!!
The action takes place just on Earth and the Moon :(
The humans muse be contortionists to turn into Heads and Engines :(
A MAJOR missed opportunity here, the Decepticon human characters could have stolen the Autobot Transtectors at some point, and posed as them, causing problems etc (ie Giga steals Ginrai and poses as him etc)
Okay I think that's it, I should be talking about Victory tomorrow :D Enjoy!!
