Rushed Review Episode 09:
Universe Acid Storm


Posted: October 15, 2008

Info: It's the 7th character made from this mold and the 8th unique character for a seeker, so how does the mold stand up after so much use? As always it's a 0-5 score without those pesky details you don't need.

In Depth: I really love the creativity in this repaint. They just admitted they planned for it to be Sunstorm, but changed their minds, I guess because they wanted the theme of Universe 2.0 to be realistic vehicles. But it's such a stronger character than Sunstorm, using the way his scenes from the episode Divide and Conquer were written to not only draw his team name but also his name, as you can hear in the video. It really does sound like Bumblebee's calling him Acid Storm, especially when you consider none of his other lines during the acid rain are scrambled like that one, his grammar's fine before and after the line. The only thing keeping his score down, aside from how often the mold was used, is the blue, which I don't think was a necessary color as black would have given him a more classic Seeker appearance.
