"Transformers Armada" - "First Encounter" Talkback (Spoilers)

**JohnCrichton** · 08-23-2002, 02:42 AM

Forgive me for posting this, perhaps..... a bit too soon, cuz technically, it's Friday.

Any way, the classic battle of Autobots and Decepticons begins again and at the same time.... all over, for a new generation of TransFans.

Let us know what you think and may the Matrix be with you......

One other thing.. are they trying to go the Pokemon angle with this Mini-Con thing? Gotta catch 'em all and all that jazz?

You're supposed to do a poll with these. I don't wanna remake the thread for it, but maybe a mod could?

**JohnCrichton** · 08-23-2002, 03:00 AM

Xanatos can hook us up...

I always find it hard to judge. Especially for G Gundam. Sometimes it's off, sometimes it's on..... I just can't give it a worthhwhile rating 'til I've seen the whole series.

What sucks is that I'll be on a bus when this airs and then I'll have to go out for my friend's birthday party. I won't be able to see this until Saturday!

And I won't even be able to see it first thing in the morning cuz he'll be too hungover form his party.

And since it's his birthday I'll prolly have to wait 'til he's ready....

Should one wait for his friends to watch this, or watch it as soon as possible?

Okay, JC, I fixed it, but in the future, try and include a poll. I had to make a new thread and merge it with this one. Also, try and make your talkback closer to when the show premieres. Thanks.

[indent]Thanks Vince! I couldn't seem to figure out how to add a poll. Also, thanks for the heads up on Transformers JC! I actually missed Toonami yesterday. Dang law school orientation, exploding ovens, gas leaks, and girls...

**JohnCrichton** · 08-23-2002, 11:35 AM

Thanks, Vince! I'm a bit excited and was a little trigger happy last night.

My sincerest, bad.

I hate that I have to miss it today and hope to god my friend doesn't forget to set his VCR.

**Funkatron** · 08-23-2002, 12:19 PM

will this re-air like he-man did??

**Supreme** · 08-23-2002, 12:25 PM

CRAP! I'll have to go home for lunch to set up my computer. I forgot topre-set it to record.

**JohnCrichton** · 08-23-2002, 12:45 PM

I think there's going to be a re-airing of it on Saturday, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

**Christopher N. Denner** · 08-23-2002, 01:33 PM

I don't *think* I'd going to re-air... so I'll have to set both VCRs to tape a copy... just in case something goes wrong, like when my Power went out during He-Man last week.

**J.C.** · 08-23-2002, 02:17 PM

Don't think it's going to be re-aired this weekend due to Cartoon Network having their Cartoon Cartoon marathon. Looks like we'll only have one chance to catch Armada this week.

**Chris Sanders MSX** · 08-23-2002, 03:03 PM

It's NOT re-airing. Thsi weekend is the cartoon cartoon weekend. I looked up the scedual. I have to geta tape out becuse instead of wtaching Armada I'll be at the Dentist getting temporary caps removed and permanent ones put on.

**Killtacular** · 08-23-2002, 04:10 PM

CGI is crappy.. 2d animation is good.. reminds me of GI Joe's animation, actually, only smoother. Character designs.. well, whatever. I believe this cartoon was like Big O 2.. produced IN Japan FOR America, so it's not terrible considering the source.

Voices are average. Apparently Double D and Eddy are students at Lincoln Middle School.

I can't stand the translation though. Too much slang. It feels like Rocket Power with robots.

**GrayGhost** · 08-23-2002, 04:12 PM

Voices . sound . like . they . are . reading . each . word . off . of . the . script .

So I'm probably not the only one thinking:
"Boy, Eddy really let himself go."

**DeathscytheFish** · 08-23-2002, 04:14 PM

hahaha... I was wondering if anybody else caught those voices...

Looks like it repeats Saturday, August 31st at 10:30pm according to the promo they just ran

**Killtacular** · 08-23-2002, 04:26 PM

Well, yes, technically.

He-Man and Armada will be airing the first 3 episodes of each for the first couple of weeks, rather than starting at episode 4 or something.

**DeathscytheFish** · 08-23-2002, 04:26 PM

That's just the first episode since they start airing individual episodes on the day before.

We sorta already knew this since the news has come out.
