Transformers: Headmasters Episode 31 Recap – “Operation: Destroy the Decepticons”

Last episode, the Decepticons successfully blackmailed the Autobots into getting blueprints to make a shield capable of defending against the Autobot’s greatest weapon: the master sword. They were on the planet Master which had the metal needed for the shield. This week, are they still there? Or will they move on to their next plan? [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 30 Recap – “The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide”

If you want my opinion, this was the most boring episode yet of the show. It’s called “The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide” but I don’t know how accurate it is. Last week, the Decepticons successfully blackmailed the Autobots into getting ahold of the blueprints to their greatest weapon: the Master Sword. This week, they [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 29 Recap – “The Master Sword is in Danger”

I’m not sure what the theme of this week’s episode is but I do know its motif – pointing. The animators went pointing-finger crazy. It’s probably not a great sign when that’s the first thing I notice, but it is what it is. This episode is called “The Master Sword is in Danger” and it [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 28 Recap – “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” (Part 2)

Last episode ended with the Transformers in space and the Autobots were trying to dispose of a massive bomb. While the three new Autobot warriors fought the three new Decepticons, who all happened to have gun-related names but no guns, some refugee Transformers from planet Master met the Autobots and flew the bomb deeper into [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 27 Recap – “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” (Part 1)

It’s been a while since the show introduced new characters so here comes a two-parter trying to convince us there are some new toys – excuse me, characters that we should love. We open part 1 of “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” at the Autobot base on Earth. It pans past Jetfire! But he doesn’t do anything. By the [...]

Toy Hunt: Free Comic Book Day 2013 Edition

Rejoice! It’s another Toy Hunt! This time featuring goodies I picked up during Free Comic Book day 2013.

I went to my sort of local comic / toy / and game shop Lost World of Wonders. I showed up an hour after opening and there was a big [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 26 Recap – “I Risk My Life for Earth”

Episode 26 is called “I Risk My Life for Earth” and while the good guys do that most episodes, I’m pretty sure the phrase is supposed to be attributed to Spike who sustains a serious injury this week. But the episode begins with Zarak declaring himself the Decepticon leader (for a second time this season, [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 25 Recap – “The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg”

Today’s episode is titled “The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg.” Pack your bags everyone. The Autobots are going to Alaska! But the episode begins with the Headmasters reporting to Cerebros that the Decepticons have attacked five of their bases on Earth.

The first line of dialog. We’re into the deep end.

It [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 24 Recap – “Ultra Magnus Dies!!”

I hate telling you the title of this episode. It completely gives away what’s going to happen. You see, this show shows a title card at the top of every episode. In that episode where Galvatron returned? It didn’t say that he returned but it did show him. So that was lame. But this one? [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 23 Recap – “Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship”

You’ve made it to episode 23, titled “Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship” but if you’re expecting an actual mystery, just don’t. In fact, this episode has the most anticlimactic end of any episode this season. You’ll see.

It begins with new characters, the Autobot and Decepticon clones. These are robots that look the same [...]
