in other words, if you missed it, you have a chance to catch it whenever they air, which is hardly infrequent...

I loved He-Man as a kid, but this new He-man? Hmmmmmm. It tries too hard to have Anime influences, and also tries to have the corny American jokes...but fails at both. I really wanted to like the new He-Man. I really did. But at the end it's not very good at all. :(

I hope Transformers doesn't turn out the same way, loved that as a kid also.

p.s. leave my childhood memories alone

Optimus Prime's got the right voice :)

Megatron and Starscream don't. I miss those voices. I kept vocally translating them in my head so they'd sound right.


Yeah, I don't know why they decided to use the G2/G3/whatever, the non-G1 version of Megatron.

It seemed a little short to me, but I would it's probably longer than I thought. Didn't seem to be too many commercials.

I'm not sure what I think of the kids. They had a lot of screentime.

Actual conflict, I don't know if I like the plot, it didn't move as fast as the original Transformers episodes went. But we'll see as soon as the daily series starts running.

It's been quite contested and some people even refer to the "Raiden" train autobot group that was only released in Japan. And if you delve into the comics, it gets even a bit more complicated. I checked the FAQ on one of the transformers newsgroups. It doesn't list a counterpart for him but it does for most of the other groups so I don't think Devastator really has one. There's plenty to read up on if you've got the time. Just search through the Transformers newsgroups through groups.google.com.

Devistator was the one made up of Constructicons...right?

There were 2 "counterparts" that fought him...one major one made up of all the sports cars (can't remember his name) then there was the one made up of emergency vehicles...

Anybody know if this will be re-aired? I'd like to see it, even if it sucked.

Guess I can set up a wish list on TiVo....

I THINK Devestator's counterpart was the Dinobots. Devestator was the first combiner, and after that, everytime they released a combiner, they had one for both sides. On the other hand, they also released Omega Supreme, who was the first "base" Transformer at about the same time as well. Omega Supreme was a tank, a rocket, and a train station, I think. There were a couple of other base transformers . . . Scorponok v. Fortress Maximus, and Trypticon v. Metroplex.

Off the top of my head . . .

Stunticons (sports cars) ---> Aerialbots (fighter jets)
Terrorcons (weird monsters) --> Technobots (high tech) (I had both of these guys :D)
Combaticons (WW2 vehicles) --> rescue vehicles, whatever they were called
Predacons (lions & tigers) --> ?

Were there any more combiners?
