Ah Transformers Victory, you and your recap episodes , your still a good season of Transformers anime , I thoroughly enjoyed this series, as it rekindled pleasant memories of the Robots in Disguise anime—I’d love to see that released on DVD if Hasbro, Saban/Jetix, or whoever holds the rights happens to come across reviews like this. I found it far more enjoyable than Headmasters and Masterforce, largely because it avoids the pitfalls of featuring scantily clad female characters or sidelining classic Autobots, Decepticons, and even the Trainbots in favor of aggressively marketed new toys. The only episode I skipped, aside from the tiresome recurringclip shows, was "A Deadly Battle Bet" (based on one translation), a ridiculous one where Deathsaurus poses as a giant, immodestly dressed female statue. It adds nothing to the story that isn’t already covered in later recaps. I’m also not particularly fond of the Shout! Factory dub—it’s a bit inconsistent, and while it only uses one swear word, it pops up frequently and unnecessarily, especially when they could’ve opted for the harmless (to me, at least) Transformers-specific term "scrap." Still, these are the only gripes I have, and they’re all that keep me from rating this series a solid 9.
