A much better ending to the show. Also a lot of Hot Rod showing his inner prime. Which also happens around the same time that Optimus is looking like he's about to go down. While there is no Rodimus Prime, I feel Hot Rod has really been done justice here. Had there been the roddy evolution, it actually would have felt deserved, what with Hot Rod showing he could be a good leader multiple times, and even earning Soundwave's respect.
I legit laughed at "Trypticon Park" poor Trypti. Guess it's better then getting turned into a space ship and forgotten about.
over all,
I've said before that I almost didn't give this show a fair chance after the first few episodes. Chalked it up to just dumb playing down to kids. But then I came back to it, and saw named characters get on screen killed. I was like.. wait, WHAT!, then I went back and watched everything. All in all, it did have its dumb kiddy cartoony moments, but so did Beast Wars and Animated, both shows I hold in high regard. Ultimately Cyberverse turned out to be a great show, with lots of nods to both cartoon and comic lore of yesteryear. I mean we basically have Underbase Starscream in this. While I wouldn't quite put it up there on my personal best lists with Beast Wars or Prime, it does come close with Animated.
Give the whole thing a watch, and keep with it into the second season before you write it off. it is worth it imho. I genuinely hope this show succeeds in spawning a new generation of fans.
