Transformers Prime: One Shall Stand

In the show Transformers Prime the characters, storytelling and action are amazing. The end of season one and the beginning of season two brought us a seven episode arc that not only celebrated the mythos of the Transformers Universe but turned it on its ear to truly tell the most amazing Transformers story I’ve ever experienced.

The story tells of Unicron, and how he figures into the planet Earth and how Unicron is awakened. Optimus must face Unicron with a very unlikely ally, Megatron. In this storyline we get The Matrix of Leadership, The Key To Vector Sigma and Unicron all in this one story, it was done so well and after the defeat of Unicron the story gets even more interesting.

No one wanted to do the National Hot Dog month thumbs up and they didn’t answer the questions. That and it was in the middle of nowhere. Very interesting stop. Continue reading Language Barrier
