TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED SEASON 1 HEADMASTERS SERIES
The Battle Beasts in the series ended up getting a Spiritual Successor called Beast Saga in 2012/2013 įollowed by Transformers: Super-God Masterforce Information on the project can be found on the group's YouTube page. The dub was not included, due to Hasbro's apparent concerns about content and quality.Ĭurrently the fan group "Prime Productions" is working to create a proper dub of the series, with completely new voice overs and a new team of writers. on July 5, five days after Transformers: Dark of the Moon opens. Shout! Factory released the series in the U.S. in 2005, and both versions were shown in the UK on Anime Central in 2007.
DVDs containing both the dub and the original Japanese with subtitles were released in Australia and the U.K. The first episode of the dub was included as a bonus on the DVD edition of the animated Transformers movie. The series has since received several fandubs that are much more professional-sounding. And though the Japanese Galvatron still sounded suave and leaderly in Japanese (whether you understand Japanese or not) in English he sounded like somebody who kicks people in the balls for a living. There was also no attempt to replicate the G1 voice actors in English despite the Japanese dub doing so, resulting in characters like Dummy!Blurr and Intellectual!Grimlock. If you were English, Mindwipe's hypnotism somehow became 'magic', proving that whoever translated the show didn't even read the title before they started. While the dub was perfectly comprehensible, it did contain some "Blind Idiot" Translation, which spawned a few short-lived memes. The show received a hilariously bad English dub by Omni Productions in Hong Kong, which gained notoriety after being broadcast on StarTV in Singapore. This all meant that Scorponok didn't suffer Villain Decay, and Galvatron regained a good deal of the threat he had lost in G1. Several episodes included on-screen deaths (mostly robots, but also some aliens encountered along the way), and the Autobots lost battles as often as they won. Animation and continuity errors were rarer, albeit still present on occasion. On the other hand, the animation was taken back by Toei, which resulted in a considerable improvement in quality.
Unfortunately, long stretches of time spent with the characters standing around doing not very much, and the fight scenes seem to be present to pad out the episode and resemble more of an impromptu laser dance party than an actual fight. Continuity was much stronger in Headmasters than in Generation 1, with the result that even though the majority of episodes are self-contained, they still have to be watched in the correct order. The Targetmasters' ability to select targets independently of their wielders allows the wielders to use two guns separately.Īfter a three episode pilot during which Optimus Prime died yet again, the show settled back into the generally episodic format of its predecessor. The smaller bots transform into guns which can then be wielded by their partners.
