![]() ![]() On of the things that I really enjoy about Transformers Prime Beast Hunters is that it is one of the few Transformers media that has used CGI outside of the live-action films and the fan favorite Beast Wars. He’s easily my favorite Decepticon in the show, plus he looks like a robotic vampire to an extent. Knock Out, voiced by the awesomely witty Daran Norris, didn’t fail to get several chuckles out of me. Only things don’t go quite as planned as they are kidnapped by Knock Out and it only gets better when Starscream accidently breaks the Communications Relay after kicking PredaKing’s tail. While the other Autobots are out gathering Predacon bone relics before the Decepticons, Jack’s mom and Fowler make a “milk run” to retrieve another bone relic. While I wish I could say all the episodes were favorites, “Plus One” is easily my most memorable one as it contains a heavy does of comedy compared to the other mainly due to Knock Out being the primary focus of this one. The sheer back and forth beatdown is a technological beauty to behold as their completely different fight styles play off each other so well despite their disdain for each other. ![]() The episode known as “Evolution” makes my list of favorite episodes as it contains one of the coolest CGI animated fight scenes in the show where Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus team up to face off against and enraged PredaKing. For starters the final episode “Deadlock” is easily the most emotionally charged episode as the Autobots and Decepticons square off for what seems like the last time as Megatron plans to rule two worlds with the help of a new Omega Lock. While I really enjoyed all 13 episodes of the final season there were definitely some gems that really stuck out for me. You can even see the influence that the previous show Transformers: Animated had on character inclusion (such as Bulkhead) and design. Characters like Airachnid and the Insecticons and even the Dinobots return or warrant a mention in comparison to the Predacons. As a long time watcher of the shows, I caught the little in-jokes and even tributes though some are blatantly apparent and impossible to miss. One of the favorite things about Transformers Prime Beast Hunters is that it draws some of its inspiration from past shows and whether it was intentional or a coincidence it works out well. All seems lost for the good guys but with the aid of the human side of Team Prime, the team reunites without Optimus with the help of the ultra serious Autobot, Ultra Magnus right as they are attacked by a ferocious metallic winged dragon that they later learn goes by the name of PredaKing, the only living Predacon thanks to the scientific meddling of Shockwave. I’ve been watching each season from the very beginning and it’s definitely the most bleak especially in the opening episodes where Optimus is critically injured and the others have no way to contact each other. Unlike the previous two seasons this last season release gains the subtitle “Beast Hunters” as Team Prime is at first scattered to the wind and facing a very deadly opponent brought back from before the time of the Autobots and Decepticons. This 13-episode season gives viewers and fans the finale stretch to an amazing Emmy Award winning show where “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” in a battle that just might take either side home. But before you should dive into that movie you need to take a break, recharge that Energon (get some sleep for us humans) and then roll out to your nearest retailer to pick up a copy of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Season 3 on Blu-Ray this week. A little while back, I reviewed the made for TV animated film, Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising which tied up a few loose ends from the conclusion of Season 3 of the show.
