Do you think it was a good idea turning Dogpound into Rahzar?

Ha ha, pretty much.

I liked his change at first (and I still do) but he's not really been used the way he should have been. When he was 'Dogpound,' he was pretty much a guy that I could feel for, he seemed more 'human' since this guy acted (and felt like) a man trapped in a monstrous and freakish body. Then he was mutated, and out of that I'd hoped it would allow a further evolution of these traits, especially as his body was now twisted further into something more horrific. He did get that in a way, but only sorta, mostly at first and then only infrequently thereafter. Mainly since then he's slowly devolving into a one-note villain who is purely henchmen and there for the the occasional comedic moment, almost negating his earlier development. If he's had stayed as Dogpound, I doubt he would have kept any improvement, but would have devolved just as he is doing now, but only more heavily into more insipid 'doggy' tropes for comedy ever since the new writers had taken over. I won't lie, I love him when he's dead serious or in a serious episode(Acne, Lonely Mutation, Vision Quest, etc) but even his mutation into Rahzar isn't saving him from a slow descent into mediocrity.

I love the design of Rahzar, but I thought the whole "double mutation" thing was and is a little ridiculous. I guess it's kind of fun though.

Every villain in this show eventually devolves into mediocrity. It's annoying. They keep introducing new villains without giving them enough screentime each.
I wish this show was more like Transformers Prime at times. Good god, that show really knew how to use its villains.
