Mutant Turtles: Superman Legend Episode 2 Recap/Review

Well here is the 2nd and final episode of the obscure Ninja Turtles anime. If you haven't seen my post about the 1st episode, well click here.

The episode starts a recap of the 1st episode with NYC flooded, Godzilla-sized Shredder getting easily defeated, Turtles going Voltron, bouncing boobs, and self-sacrifice in your precious innocent childhood cartoon. Most of these events wouldn’t even matter in this episode since it’s a whole new adventure. The classic cartoon really didn’t have continuity. It be weird if the every episode of the show had recaps of Shredder’s plot of steal energy source of the week, meeting a mutant they won’t see for another season, or encountering a lame forgettable gangster.

Well we're going to see more cussing in this 2-episode special based on your innocent childhood cartoon.
Admit, you read these lines with the Nesquik Bunny and Uncil Phil in your head and it killed your Childhood.

From what I hear, the people who translates this will spice things up and add curses words that wasn't in the actual Japanese version. I find it pointless, especially since alot people have precious memories of the classic cartoon and they can't imagine them acting like sailors.


The TMNT just arrived in Japan from an airport. For some reason, none of the humans on the flight were freaked out or something. Mikey is all excited but Splinter remind all of them that this isn’t a pleasure cruse and they been sent to Japan help a friend of Splinter's.
He must thinking about Pizza with rice or sushi as toppings


The Turtles also boarded a taxi and the cab driver didn’t freak out that giant turtles and a rat were entering his car.
That's not how you ride a taxi


So uhhh...How come they're not wear any disguises? They normally do other series.
I think anyone can easily tell they're not human.

Why wasn't this in the new movie? It shouldn't been deleted. 



Meanwhile at the Technodrome in Dimension X.

Wait a minute, the last episode had the Technodrome on Earth? When do these anime episodes take place? Well anyways, Krang is screaming on the top of his lungs. It's bad enough his Japaneses voice is so high-pitch. *Sighs* Our poor ears. Even Shredder and his two goons can’t handle it.

Krang stops and tells Shredder that an another Mutastone is located in Japan. Shredder doesn’t want to see anymore Mutastones since they turn him into Godzilla and stuff.

Krang continued screaming and Shredder was force to agree to make Krang stop.  You can see from the pictures that Shredder has new a set of armor(To match his new toy at the time). It seems like a fully metal armored Shredder existed here long before his 2003 counterpart did.

The Turtles are enjoying the ride on a bullet train. Splinter again remind them that this isn’t a pleasure cruse and they are on a mission. Splinter got the info from a scroll he received and it simply says, “Help”.


Shredder and his two goons come through a portal and landed on train tracks. Suddenly, a bullet train came and ram into the baddies.
React in Loony Tune Style!!!

Instead of killing them, it more like sent them flying. I’m pretty sure the American cartoon had far more realism when it comes to getting hit by a train.

The flying Shredder passes by their windows.

Uh Raph, You know that Saturday Morning Cartoons are not allow to mention God or anything else religious.

The villains stop flying and landed on top of one of the train cars. The Turtles went topside to meet with the baddies. Shredder heard from the Turtles that he is in Japan and he gets all misty eyed that he is in his old country.
Didn’t he try to destroy the entire planet in the last episode?

Bebop and Rocksteady fired their lasers at the Turtles and for some reason, they acted like cowards and ran away like Loony Tunes characters.
 
Gee guys, man up will you. You never acted like this before.


Out of nowhere, an army of ninjas jumped 100 feet in the air and safely landed on the train’s roof. They threw hundreds and hundreds of ninja stars at the baddies, causing them to fly off the train.
Enter Sub-Zero and a bunch of Noob Saibots 

So is your boss you idiots 



All the good guys got inside the train and the Sub-Zero look-alike introduce himself.
Good gosh, he has a loud voice, it’s the last thing you suspect to hear from a mysterious cool looking ninja type. He kept calling Splinter as “Master.” I’m guessing he was a student of Splinter's before he was exiled from Japan and turned into a rat.

April records him on her camera and he gets all camera shy. I figure he slash the camera for the sake of secretly, not get embarrassed.


It’s strange everyone is calling him and his crew, “Real Ninjas” What about Shredder, Splinter or the Turtles? Did everyone forget? I know they don’t hide in the shadows like their other counterparts but still....
"And we're not"?

Kinzo takes them to a magic mirror at a shrine. He explains in a overly excited tone that someone is planning to steal the mirror and he wants the gang to help protect it. Aren’t most ninjas are suppose to be cool and quiet sounding when they talk? I don't think this is how they're suppose to sound.
I kid you not, he did sound overly excited in this sentience.

The turtles easily figure out that Shredder is plotting to steal it. Donnie takes time to think and I swear, the camera stayed on him for 5 long seconds of just him thinking to himself. Did the director forgot to cut or something?
It sure felt like a minute


The loud ninja explains that backstory of the Magatamas.
Quick, use the Magatamas to summon Gamera, the 5th Ninja Turtle. Venus and Zack don't count.


The turtles asked what Magatamas spell in Japanese. Don't they mean in English? They learn an alternative name for them is Mutastones. Umm.. those don’t seem like mutastones, they look completely different than how they look in episode 1.

Kinzo gives the Turtles some armor for them to wear.
A rare reaction from Splinter


I know they don't cover that much. From what I remember, the armor on the toys have slots to help click-on the actual armor you will see later in the episode.

The next morning, the turtles got woke up by annoying laughter from a ghost. I swear, this guy does nothing but laugh every time we see him. He's taken over the annoying astronaut's place as my least favorite.

The ghost doesn't scare Mikey too much since he is way too sleepy to care.

Kinzo tells the others that this guy is Yukimura. Kinzo’s ancestor imprisoned this evil spirit in ancient times. They never explain the backstory of the annoying ghost other than he got imprisoned. I’m guess his crimes is annoying people with his laugh.

Shredder barges in the front doors…Only to see the turtles are too pre-occupied with the ghost.

The turtles now notice they’re here and they clash.

Kinzo went behind the mirror and pulled a chain. This causes the entire shrine to explode.

And they all died... 
or not.



The explosion sends everyone to fly away to a distance and crash into the ground.


Out of the remains of the building came a giant castle. The loud ninja explains that this is the hidden fortress of their ninja tribe.


The annoying ghost appears to the Shredder and points up while still laughing. Shredder and the gang figure out that the mirror is on the roof and start running up the wall. Like…What the Shell!? You can tell this anime throws logic out of the window seeing Shredder’s gang survive getting hit by a train and running up a wall like he's Sonic the Hedgehog.

The Turtles plan to follow them
Japanese made it sound like, TAR-DAR POW-WA


The Turtles and the overly excited ninja ran up the wall as well, but all that running got them tired and they start climbing instead. I know in the American series, that they use suction cups to help climb, so why aren’t they using them?

Leo asked Kinzo a question while climbing, about the inside of the castle.
 
The passing crow mocks the lame ninja.



The turtles jump into a window opening while Kinzo keeping climbing. Inside they encounter Krang. Seems like Krang for once decided to get off his lazy butt(does he have one) and actually help Shredder.
Unlucky for him, the Turtles quickly went around him and ran off while Krang was thinking, “Like WTF just happen?”

Shredder gets to the roof and see the annoying ghost point to the mirror.
Will you quit laughing

Couldn't agree more


Before Shredder could get the mirror, Kinzo and his ninja squad throws hundreds of mirrors around. Making it hard for the tin can to find the one he needs. Shredder than asked Kinzo…
 
One of the lamest ninjas ever.


The ghost, still laughing, points the correct mirror. Shredder grabs it and uses three of the stones to call three dark guardians. Three metal animals appear and split apart to be used as armor pieces for the three villains. Bebop got a whale that looks like Xever/Fishface from the 2012 series. Rocksteady a hydra, and Shredder a white tiger. Cause only in Japan everybody has to pose in a flashy background.
Ola Amigo


Get up on the Hydra's back



Tigatron Maximize

World's biggest shoes.



Bebop attacks with his Great Killer Whale Wave! Rocksteady attack with Metallical Snaker! and sends snakes
Ack!!...This look like tentacle porn. Thanks alot Japan. It's bad enough you created Transformers Kiss Players


Shredder attacks with Tiger Break! Cause only in anime you shout your attacks.


Krang appears and takes the mirror but Sub-Zero and his army of Noob Saibots overpower the pink brain.

Kinzo throws it to the Turtles. They use the remaining stones on the mirror to summon the guardians of hope to help them.

Volvagia icy twin bro

Remember to link this with the Final Attack Materia

Weren't you in that Toho movie with Cesar Romero

Weirdest Beetle I ever seen


I know this is copying off a show called Saint Seiya. No, I never watched the series. Most of my knowledge came from a Transformers/Saint Seiya parody. I think remember the series aired in the afternoon back in the 90s but I didn't actually watch it.
Here's the awesome Transformers/Saint Seiya parody.

Kinzo pointed out they can only be in these forms for six minutes.
Didn't Splinter had something like that last episode?

*looks at the time and when the end credits starts* Well I got three more minutes of the video, so for once, they’re going to stay in these forms in their proper time-limit unlike their amount of time as Supermutants or Saint Turtle in the previous episode.

Mikey attacks with his Beef Bee-tonic! Raph with his Phoenix Bomber! Donnie with Lio Magnado! Leo with Thundra Tonic Buster!

Shredder try to run away to the portal to Dimension X

Before he jump into the portal, he and Leo shoot anime power lasers at each other. When Shredder’s anime power laser began to overpowered Leo, Shredder and his goons suddenly reverted back to their regular forms since they were in these forms a little longer than the turtles. The baddies manage to take three of the stones and leave. The annoying ghost suddenly vanish.

The Turtles promise to the ninjas that they will return the three stones back to the mirror and all of the sudden, the giant castle start collapsing and they all died....

Well I seriously doubt that, it was more of a comical scene.


Well we got this unresolved storyline of Shredder having the stones. It should go with all the Ninja Turtles stuff we didn't get like The Forever War, The Shredder Wars, Triceraton Shredder, Nightmares Recycled, most Mirage stories after the Viacom bought the rights. I swear, this episode felt more like a season premiere with the gang getting powers up and spending a season of getting back those three stones.

This episode wasn’t as quite all over the top in it’s animeness like the previous episode. Most of the turtles going all Saint Seiya was only in the last five minutes.

See ya later...

Mutant Turtles: Superman Legend: Recap, Thoughts, Review


In the summer of 1996, the classic Ninja Turtles cartoon will began it's last season. Many toys for the cartoon were made like two certain toylines called Supermutants, and Metal Mutants.




The show was also popular in Japan. They wanted to advertise the new toys by making a 2 episode Direct-to-VHS or OVAs(Original Video Animation). They were called, Mutant Turtles: Superman Legend.

This special never came to the US and and we never knew that this obscure special ever existed...Well until the internet got big.

You guys may remember I mention this on my "You will Cry In Japan" blog post. However, at the time, I only saw a short intro that was posted on youtube, as well as a few bits and pieces. This time, I watch the whole thing.



The episode starts with a "How we got here" recap of how the Turtles become Super Mutants. It said they went to an underground shrine of the Neutrino Kingdom.


This is kinda interesting since the series never really show much of  the Neutrinos' world. All we know is about them is three kids who hate war, and they are TOTALLY 80s(more so than the Turtles).  The sad news is, you only see the shrine for a few seconds. So much for learning more about their culture.
I have heard the IDW comics have completely reinvent them.
                               



Inside the shine, the Turtles meet a fairy named Crys Mu
Hey! Look! Listen!

She gives them these special crystals called Mutastones. Kinda of a strange name since these magic crystals have a name to a chemical substance we see throughout the series. Anyways, the Turtles use the stones to transform them into Super Mutants. You can tell this is getting weird and all anime-like. They look like tall green Wolverines. 


Hey Bub

They can only be in these forms for three minutes. Now why do I have a feeling they going to be in these forms alot longer? I heard in Dragonball Z, Goku had to defeat his enemy and leave before the planet blows up in five minutes. Goku got this done in 10 long episodes. I guess anime writers think time moves slower or something?

Not long after TMNT got their super modes, Shredder and goons invade the shrine and take the Dark Mutastone.

They use the stone that turns Shredder into a dragon while his two goons look like they took on some steroids. Yes, you read that correctly.






The Super Turtles have a surprise on the villains and use the stones where they can merge into a powerful being called Turtle Saint. No, I'm not joking.





Since when they were Voltron?

Our heroes pwned the baddies on one strike and they fly away Team Rocket Style. Gee, I guess those steroids didn't help.

The "How we got here" recap ends and the opening credits play. I swear, the 1st few seconds sounds exactly the same as the 1st few seconds of the Ghostbusters theme. Go listen here


Now the recap and opening is over, the actually episode starts with a space shuttle captain witnessing stars are vanishing. A member of NASA doesn't believe this and tells the astronaut that he left his glasses on Earth. The astronaut denies this. This will become a pointless running joke. What's weird is Krang is hanging underneath the space shuttle.

In the next minute, he's inside the Technodrome. Did he teleport or something? Was he spying on them?
You should be asking Krang that


Well this is the 1st time I heard any of the villians voices in Japanese. The Baddies sound right but good gosh, Krang has this high pitch voice. Imagine Krang high-pitch angry tone but it's stuck in that tone all the time. I need to lower the volume to save my poor eardrums.

Everyone in this 2-part anime special looks the same as the original series, except the colors are in a brighter tone. There is one character doesn't look like their western cartoon counterpart and that's Shredder. He's wearing a different type of armor. They did this to match his new toy at the time.


The villains are trying to free an evil spirit know as Dark Mu. She is sleeping inside the Dark Mutastone.



When she does awake, she will unleash her powers and destroy the planet Earth. Now wait a minute, destroy the planet? That's kinda dark for the classic Ninja Turtles series
Even Splinter agrees



Dark Mu's awakening is causing the stars to disappear. You sure it isn't Xehanort that's causing this? 

Shredder said he doesn't care if the Earth gets destroyed or not but he wants to know where he's going to live. I'm surprised at is Shredder is totally ok that his entire home world is being destroyed. It doesn't seem to faze him. Krang suggest after the Earth is destroyed, they can live in Dimension X. This causes Shredder and his two goons to freak out in ANIME STYLE!!!


Seeing them react anime style is weird.

The two insult each other by calling each other, Sawaki-chan and Stupid Octopus. I guess this is what they're normally called in the Japanese version.


The next scene shows the Turtles watching April's report of the disappearing stars as she's interviewing a member of NASA and the astronaut and we hear the two still arguing about those stupid glasses. The turtles turn off the program and discuss the matter in their Japanese voices. They sound weird and their voices sound deeper than the originals. Splinter on the other hand has this cool deep voice. What made me go WTF is when Mikey called Donatello, Dona-chan. Like dude, What the Shell?! It's weird seeing Mikey give Donny a Japanese nickname.


It seems their watching their American counterparts on the TV.


April comes in and Raph ask if April use a portal right after finishing the broadcast. She answer by telling him the footage was pre-recorded. Gee, was Krang on that space shuttle pre-recorded message or something?

Crys-Mu told them the disappearing stars must be Shredder and Krang, who is awakening Dark Mu. Mikey has a different suggestion.
Don't bring that dumb controversy here. *sighs* I think Micheal Bay didn't know what he was talking about when he made an off-hand comment about the Utroms' connection to the Turtles.


They go street level and meet with the villains. The good guys figure that the bad guys are there to distract them while Dark Mu is awakening. Bebop and Rocksteady tell them that's exactly what they're doing. Shredder scolds the two like always but in ANIME STYLE!!! 


The villains use stock footage to go Super Saiyan. The Turtles go through stock footage and shout, "SUPER MUTATION!" as they transform. Because this is TMNT in ANIME STYLE!!! 

During the battle, Shredder asked Krang where are his foot soldiers and he told him that they're on vacation. Now why would robots be on vacation?

Krang told Shredhead and his goons they have power controllers to unleash their full powers. Seriously, this sounds like DBZ.

Meanwhile more jokes about the missing glasses. 
Couldn't agree more. Continuing onward.


Raph attacks Shredder with his "The Spinning Top of Super Violent Wind!" Shredder activates his power controller and returns.

The Turtles got their shells kicked. 
*gasps* Ra...Raph. This is a kids show. You can't say stuff like that.
You can't say stuff like that either.

Seeing the TMNT all anime-like and cussing is kinda ruining my childhood. Yes, people do abuse the words "Ruining my childhood" but they're complaining about some alternate universe incarnation of whatever they grew up with. Any remake or reboot has no effect on the original and they're perfectly safe but this special isn't based on a later incarnation of the turtles, this is the same exact universe as the classic cartoon. So yeah, it's jarring to see the very same turtles cussing.


Splinter and Crys Mu easily entered the Technodrome with no problem whatsoever. Usually it takes nearly an episode to go through the Technodrome. I can understand the foot soldiers are on vacation but what about all booby traps the Technodrome has? Anyways, Splinter starts fighting against Krang 
Jeez Splinter, that's a little extreme for a kid's cartoon.


There is bad news, Dark Mu is opening her eyes. This causes bad weather all over the planet. Tokyo Tower and the Eiffel Tower collapsed while Mao's picture at the Chinese imperial place falls. I'm guessing this 2 episode special takes place after the Turtles vacation trip to Paris.


The Punk Frogs in the Florida swamps make their 5 second cameos as they witness a tornado.
Hey, where's the 4th frog?



Remember when I said, the Foot Soldiers are on vacation. Well here they are at Miami beach.



I got nothing to say.

 A Typhoon came and took them away, Team Rocket Style. 
They even quote Team Rocket


Back in New York, The Turtles take a beating from Bebop and Rocksteady, which I wound never said in the classic cartoon since those two are so dimwitted. Suddenly, a giant tidal wave comes and smash against the Statue of Liberty(Must resist Day After Tomorrow joke). 


Whoa! All of New York got completely flooded. Did the entire population survived? I never seen something like this big happen happen in the classic toon(besides Channel 6 blowing up or the season 3 finale). Yes, there were a few floods in the show but they were a few feet tall, not big enough to send the entire city of New York underwater.

The Technodrome started to float on surface, which doesn't make sense since the Technodrome was stuck underwater during one season.


The Turtles and Splinter swam to the surface.  April comes in with a news helicopter. I'm guessing they're the only survivors. Let's have a moment of silence for Casey Jones, Rat King, Mondo Gecko, Channel 6 news crew, and others I forgot.

Dark Mu finally wakes up.

The 1st thing she does is throw a fireball at Shredder. This turns him into a Godzilla-sized dragon named, Dark Devil Shredder.
You can tell the size difference between Shredhead and the Technodrome.

The viewers opinion in a nutshell


Shredder shoots out a giant-sized fireball at the turtles and…Holy Hippo Spit! Splinter grab the fireball with his bare hands and toss it aside.





I can understand if the Turtles do it since they're in Super Anime Mode and grabbing fireballs and tossing it may be normal for them but not for a human-sized rat that has no super powers.


Now I think about it, I think the Turtles should of revert back to their regular forms since it's been over ten minutes since they transformed.


Donny has a plan to defeat the new improved Shredder. He leads him to a skyscraper. The Shredder shoot a fireball at Donny.
Hadoken!

Donny jumped out of the way just in time as Shredhead’s attack cause the top half of the skyscraper to fall down and hit him on his head. This knocks him out. It's sad because he was only in this mode for a few minutes and he’s defeated. How anti-climatic.
This guy weaker than the American Godzilla.


The Turtles wondered how the mayor would feels that they topple a building to defeat shredder. Is the mayor alive from the deluge?

Well with Shredder out of the way, Dark Mu appears in front of the Turtles and tells them she’s going to destroy the planet. She heads off and flies to space. Splinter tells his sons that they need to merge to form Turtle Saint. They used the power of stock footage and shouting their transformation name to combine.  Splinter tells them they can only use this form in 100 seconds
Why do I have the feeling they’re going to be in this form longer than 100 seconds?


The space shuttle pilot is still whining to NASA that he didn’t lose his glasses. The Turtles and Dark Mu fly by and nearly hit him. The shuttle itself grew eyes and got angry at the turtles.
Ok, we went from Dragonball Z to Loony Tunes


The forces of good and evil clash but the Turtles have a hard time figuring out which way to attack since Turtle Saint has four minds in one body. Imagine if Devastator’s six components argue on how to punch the Autobots.

The Turtles start comparing their disagreements on how to use their body to which hands they use when preparing rice bowl, miso soup, and chopsticks. Them talking about Japanese food shows that they been raised by Splinter, or it’s the fact this episode is made by Japanese writers. I thinking it's more like the latter.

Crys Mu comes and grabs her evil counterpart behind and….This causes Dark Mu’s boobs to bounce. Yes, your beloved childhood cartoon has bouncing boobs

With the evil fairy in her grip, she tells the TMNT to unleash their final attack to seal up Dark Mu. Saint tells her the final attack will seal her up as well. She and Splinter(who somehow has telepathic powers) tell Saint to go accept Crys Mu’s sacrifice or the planet is gone. Also, it's been more than 100 seconds has pass.


They unleash their final move on them.

Crys Mu said thank you to the TMNT before she and her dark counterpart return to crystal status.

This is kinda sad scene but it's also kinda weird since in the classic cartoon, no one dies. The biggest thing the show had balls to do was blowing up the Channel 6 building in season 8 and that was when the show sort of somewhat went a darker direction. It's just weird seeing someone sacrifice themselves like this.

The TMNT wakes up and find out that they're inside the space shuttle. I don’t know how got in exactly. Did the shuttle activate a tracker beam or something?

They take a look outside the shuttle and see the crystals.
That’s somehow deep for a cheesy 80s cartoon. You never see the Turtles talk like this. Yes the line itself is cheesy but by 80s/90s Turtles standards...Well it's somewhat deep.


The shuttle takes them to Earth as the Turtles comment on whose going to clean up the flood.



That's the 1st episode of this 2-part anime. This is incredibly weird to see the turtles like this, and it doesn't help it's based on the old cartoon. It is fun to laugh at for any fans of the Ninja Turtles or to simply say WTF at the whole thing.

Season 5 of the 2003 series had the Turtles get magical training and fought against a demonic Shredder that can transform into a dragon. Did that season ripoff this obscure special? Well anyways, their powers didn't scream Anime Style!!! The show was far serious to begin with, and the Shredder in the 5th season was establish as a demon to begin with that Shredder from seasons 1-3 took his identity. Season 5 didn't seem weird like this two-episode special.

Heroes vs. Baddies: The Inferno's Wrath. behind the scenes, facts and deleted material.

Here's my behind the scenes of the recent story I posted. If you haven't read yet, click here.

If you guys haven’t figure out what the story is based/parody of, it’s the 2nd Transformers movie.


Unlike the movie, I focus more on who should been the main characters like the Heroes (Based on Autobots) instead of the annoying ones (The humans and the twins). You notice that Raph (Based on Leo Spitz. Yes, I made a Ninja Turtle joke) was quickly kicked out of the story as well as the two wannabe rappers.


Evil Cop is based on Barricade(The bad cop basically). In the beginning of the second movie, you see another Depecticon called Sideways who has a similar design to Barricade. Which is why he’s the other Evil Cop.


Speaking about two characters with same design. There’s two helicopter bots, one was Blackout(The guy who attack the army base), and Grindor.(The 3rd guy who attacked Optimus in the forest.) That’s where Weapons as Ammo’s bro came from.


The early version of the story had the Asian restaurant called Hunan’s. I honestly don’t know what it was called at that time. That place changed it’s name all the time. It was called Kopen at one point(Korean/Japanese food)


Slicer’s rant about how anti-climatic the battle against the One-Legged Minotaur pretty much sum up how I feel about most fights in the movie.  Here’s some examples:
Sideways- He dies in a minute.
Demolishor-Get defeated in seconds
Scorponok-Shows up, Gets fatten.
The Fallen-The final battle was barely a minute


Originally, instead of Girl killing the One-Legged Minotaur, it was me. It said I did it because he was annoying me about the Inferno. Uhh…This guy isn't exactly the Man in White(From Dodgeball 2) who annoyed me about confusing story. I found that, me killing him is out-of-character because I rather be listening on this ancient baddie instead of killing him.


Our hidden base was originally underneath Knight’s food market. It got changed to the abandoned Alford’s near main street. I changed it to a closed down area near Main Street. It can be any building nearby that surrounding area.


Me inserting socks to the wannabe rappers’ mouths wasn’t in the original. It just simply say I walk passed them. You can’t just namedrop some characters and walk off. You need to introduce them.


I went more in-depth of me and my team discussing on the mystery of The Inferno and hinting about the previous generations of Heroes and Baddies. The previous generations weren't mention at all till we met with Old Dude.


Me hearing the news of the Sophomore boy having dreams wasn't mention at all in the base. I just randomly showed up at the parking lot with no build up.


I'm 100% positive the old closed down Wal-Mart in Jacksonville was still an abandoned building at the time.


Myspace wasn't in the original. It was alot bigger back in the day and I’m sure if the Sophomore boy had a social media page at that time, it be Myspace.


I knew in three years, the Sophomore kid would graduate but I already plan to write about meeting him at the High School’s parking lot so wrote the he was held him back.


Yeah, I sometimes shoot annoying people but I shoot the boy’s best friend right in front of him. He seriously won’t help me find the 2nd Glowing Tennis Ball. That's why I introduce the Nerf gun stun feature. Seriously, since when did toy guns kill people as well as stunning?


In the old version, Villain mention he was going to take the boy’s brain but it didn't say he was go all Mortal Kombat and he plans to rip his head open with his bare hands. Seriously MK game developers, how can you rip someone’s head off with their spine still attached by grabbing them from their hair?


I know in the movie, Optimus was dead throughout the film and didn't get revived till the end. I change that so I won’t be out of action throughout the story. Yes, I know I got out of the hospital quickly. Let’s just say Medic is a really good doctor. Plus, I got stabbed by a toy. You honesty think I’m going to die from a toy wound?


Me and the Sophomore sneaking around the city to avoid the brainwash people was only in one sentence. I expanded it.


Me trying to pick the door to the boy’s house or his dad aiming a nerf shotgun at us before finding out who we are wasn't in the old version. We just randomly met up with and talk.


Old Dude told us the story outside of the library in the old version. Wouldn't it be better to sit down in a closed off room?


In the old version, the Golden Knights were servants of the Giant Glowing Warrior. I change it and just simply focus on the Knights.


Some time after the 2nd movie, the real name of the Fallen was revealed. His name is Megatronus Prime. Yes, it sounds silly. Megatron took his name from this fallen prime. That came up with Captain Villainous and I knew it would sound funny. That’s like naming your best friend like Judas or Traitor. Hey, wait a minute…


The Inferno didn't have an army when he was planning to used the Supercannon. After he was defeated and thrower in the volcano, he communicated telepathically and contacted an underground brawler named Villain(Villain’s ancestor with the same name) and tell him to form an army. I change it to him having an army before he got sealed.


I didn't act surprised after hearing Old Dude’s story.  You think that be alot to take in, don't you?


As we enter Jacksonville, Old Dude told everyone that he knows a clue from ancient text and it said “Underneath a man’s wings” We went to the airplane at the base gate. I change to the baseball field.


The climax of the movie took place in an open area with ancient relics in the center. The 1st thing that came to my head was the Air Force Base. I grew up here as a kid and I do need to branch out beyond Cabot in my stories.


The big battle at the end was one big fight that was full of explosions and shaky cam. It was hard to figure out what’s going and everything was going quick. I change the whole battle and made it two person matches for everyone. Plus, it gives nearly all characters a chance to shine.  I only saw Ironhide, Ratchet, or Sideswipe for a few seconds and all they did is shout and did cover fire. Starscream wasn't anywhere to be seen. Soundwave pretty much stayed in space as a satellite in the entire movie. Sadly, one of my friends who never saw Transformers called Soundwave lame. This is true because he all he did was stayed in space.


In the 1st draft, all the battles never said where exactly they took place. It was pretty much somewhere between the gate and the airplane display. That doesn't give much room with us all separated.


In the 2nd movie, there was a female Transformer called Acree. For a year after seeing the movie, I didn't know she died. It was a blink or you miss it moment and no one actually say anything about this. Geez, in the 1st movie, you actually see Jazz ripped in half as well as the Autobots take time to mourn on his death after the battle. With Acree, you didn't even notice at all. I try to write it where you see her try to fight to her last breath and you see us sad about it.


The old version showed Slicer seeing two separate explosions in the distance before he encounter Robot. The explosions were suppose to be Traitor’s jetpack blowing up and him crashing into the trees.


The Giant Pterodactyl that saved Robot was a giant bat.


One thing I found confusing is when the Constructicons were merged into Devestator and uncovering the star harvester, the Autobots were battling the battling Constructicons. Were there two sets of them or something? Anyways, that’s where the “construction workers’ twin brothers” came from.


Me meeting with Medic and the deceased Girl while hearing Slicer pass by wasn't in the old version.


Old Dude once called Young Dude wasn't in the old version.


The entire final battle took place at the airplane display. I changed it to where all of Jacksonville was our battleground.


The sophomore boy suggesting to make out with his girlfriend while laying on top of me was based on the ending of the 1st movie. It ended with the two humans making out on top of Bumblebee. Also all his friends watch. That was so wrong.
