Transformers Headmasters 32 – My Friend Sixshot!
November 6, 2009Oh dear. With an episode title like that, I’m honestly expecting the worst right now.
Scorponok is now heading towards earth with his shiny new shield which will somehow win them the war. Scorponok thinks it’s a good idea to go through an asteroid field for some reason, while Fortress does the logical thing and goes AROUND. Brilliance.Wheelie and Daniel decide to go to a laser room or something (Sorry, I’ve honestly stopped caring at this point.) and low and beyond, Scorponok appears. Sixshot then launches for reasons I missed and both parties are caught in a space tornado thing. Daniel gets jettisoned into space with the damaged laser. Both end up on planet Darius and they become friends and stuff and OH PLEASE JUST MAKE IT STOP.
Spiffy:
- The Trainbots have a 10 second cameo.
- The big Rock monster thing has a Rocket Punch.
- Nothing else.
Iffy:
- I have no idea why, but Sixshot looks… really messed up in this episode.
- General destroying of Sixshot’s character
- Daniel apparently forgets that Sixshot previously murdered Ultra Magnus
- This episode is called “MY FRIEND SIXSHOT!”
- Seriously! They absolutely MURDERED Sixshot’s character in this episode.
And there you have it. The single coolest character of Headmasters is reduced to the friend of children everywhere. There’s a bit where he fights Rock People… by running around and shooting. Never mind any of these other awesome techniques he’s been using for the series. There’s something incredibly disturbing about seeing Sixshot attacking a Rainbow as well. Man, Masterforce better be like the best Transformers series ever after having to sit through this.
Somewhere, a writer cries for help in the only way he knows how.
YES. YES IT IS.
At this point the show is just trolling
Haha, Headmasters. After awhile this show just got hard to care about. Masterforce was rather odd for a Transformers series but I thought it was better, though not like that’s hard for a series to achieve.
I’d personally blame the Japanese voice cast: For all I know, they could all be voiced by the same guy. G1 had pretty distinct personalities for each character, here they’re all a sort generic.
