Transformers Prime: Predatory

It's all too easy to over-do it when it comes to utilizing flashbacks for a story (and doubly so if the point is to pad out an episode), so it was refreshing to have just the right amount here. Good characterization, an actual human partner (not an annoying sidekick a la Daniel), and solid villain debut round out "Predatory" -- definitely recommend it.

Agree Arrow verse is guilty of that

Only series of Transformers that wasn't G1 I've watched, as I entirely rejected Beast Wars for the visuals and the others I figured I was too old for. Must have been a forum I was on that convinced me to give it a chance, and I'm glad they did as what I saw of it was really impressive with this ep being one of the ones that got me to stick around.

Beast Wars can be hard to get into due to the dated CGI animation, but the writing is strong enough to carry the series. And the animation does get better in later seasons.

I have heard that before to be sure that's true, and I genuinely do regret also missing Reboot at the time which I also turned my nose up at for similar reasons.

Another really great series. Starts off a little basic but seasons 2 and especially 3 are so good.
