Transformers: Energon question

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-27-2008, 10:53 PM

I was noticed that both Armada and Cybertron have season sets but not Energon. I thought that strange since it is suppoused to be the second part of the series. Does anyone know if it is goining to get released as a set? I know there are 4 dvds out but it isn't the whole series.

Yeah, back when I first saw that Cybertron was coming out in a Complete Set I also thought it strange Energon was 'skipped over'.

I hope they'll get around to doing it, too.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah it just kind of bugged me. I wanted to get back into Transformers, last series I watched was Beast Wars. So I picked Cybertron up and found out it is part 3 of a story. Still good though. I'm enjoying it.

Energon was the most poorly received of the Unicron Trilogy, both in regards to the reception of the TV series and the toyline.

In truth, it really is the most boring, repetetive and obnoxious installment in the Unicron Trilogy. Which is hard to believe, since the whole trilogy featured some of the worst Transformers storytelling of all time and is proof positive that Japan should never, EVER be allowed to make their own Transformers cartoons.

I don't know about the whole trillogy but so far I'm digging Cybertron. It is the only part I've seen. But I would like to see the rest.

I guess maybe I'm likeing it cause I grew up on G1 but wasn't a huge fan growing up. I liked it cause everyone else did. This new take is pretty cool.

I had watched the various Transformers series on TV. And for this Trilogy -- Armada started rather slow, but picked up. Energon was pretty much okay from the start. And Cybertron was good as well.

Energon never made any sense really. Not a loss really if there isn't a DVD set, since it was badly dubbed, edited, generic and never flowed as a storyline based series.

Out of all of them, Armada is the one I'd love to be seen developed much better than it was, it should have been used as a stepping stone for Energon and Cybertron...but instead was treated as another generic anime and largely ignored beyond the final episodes.

Starscream had a beleivable love interest who was predominatly on the side of The Autobots, the potential of that drama going back and forth would have risen the show ten-fold amongst the generic tosh coming out of Japan at the time...and that includes all the other nonsense we imported.

Well I finnished Cybertron today. And I have to say it was pretty good. I enjoyed it and am glad I got it. But it does make me want to see the rest of the Unicron Trillogy.

Does anyone know of a Transformer board like this one?

I use http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/ on ocassion, they also run a great GI Joe forum.

While I have a TFW2005 account and post there every now and again, my board of choice is the Allspark, but they're both pretty much the same. I also post at TFArchive, which is where I post my translations of Transformers manga, but that board has very few members and isn't nearly as lively as the other two.
