  • Starscream V Galvatron

    "Perfect"
    By Darth_Dave, Jul 23, 2006 Report Abuse
    This was and episode and battle that I have been waiting for since Starscream turned on Megatron earlier in the season. Although I would have preferred a major Starscream V Megatron battle mainly because I have always preferred Megatron to Galvatron, I still don't know why he always has to change names when he "upgrades" I guess it's just to sell more toys.

    So far this season Starscream and Megatron/Galvatron have battled pretty much everyone but each other so it was about time for them to go one on one. I liked that the Autobots were kept away from the fight my Soundwave and Sideways, I look forward to finding more about their plans as well. I thought that the battle was done very well; Starscream basically had Galvatrons measure for most of the fight, being a massive G1 fan I was really hoping that he would finally be able to win one against Megatron/Galvatron but it was not to be. Now Galvatron has the Omega lock so it should be good to see how Optimus deals with him.

    While I think there are a lot of things not to like about Cybertron, Starscream's character has been excellent hopefully he will return.

    The time has finally arrived! The two most powerful Decepticons throw down over the Omega Lock! It was a great battle; The two of them seemed quite evenly matched, and they kept pulling off one cool move after another. Starscream was particulary impressive; His speech about determination was inspiring,(With an attitude like that, he'd make a pretty good Autobot)but Galvatron finally prevailed, making off with the Omega Lock and leaving the Autobots stranded, which sets things up beautifully for the next episode (Bring it on, I say).
    All in all, this is a must-see episode for any Transformers fan worth his Energon!moreless
