I don't like how Angry Archer never got an origin or a simple explanation of how he became a supervillain, I kinda like him. Nanosec, Slo-mo, Meltdown, Prometheus and Headmaster did have one. Professor Princess never got an origin, but I don't mind that. She's annoying.
Remind me again why TRANSFORMERS are fighting worthless humans? Seriously? Battle Decepticons or something: you know, twenty foot tall, weaponized KILLING MACHINES!!!
He's also a homage/parody of Aaron Archer, the lead designer for Transformers, among several other arrow-shooting heroes/villains in addition to Green Arrow.

i love prime's axe it energon based and the music they use when he transformed not the best but way beter than the you got the toch you got the power song they used for the G1 movie when prime dies
who here thinks that Transformers Animated has some bits of innapropriate references? for example, blackarachnia in along came a spider wasn't so decent, sari has said the word sleezy in almost all the episodes, and one of the constructicons called my optimus a dipstick!!! and, in the elite guard, jazz says the word ship and it sounds a bit different, if you know what i mean!!! comment and reply!!!
Ha ha, yea, there's lots of stuff for older viewers as well in TFA. The ones that stuck out for me when I first watched it was Black Arachnia saying that OP wanted to give her a "face full of foam" and Blitzwing telling an Autobot that he was going to "void their warranties!"
Angry Archer is just a disposable villain; his entire storyline only lasts about 90 secs. You know how the first 1-2 mins of The Simpsons has nothing to do with the rest of the episode? Same deal here.
He's also a homage/parody of Aaron Archer, the lead designer for Transformers, and several arrow-shooting heroes/villains.
Megatron and the Decepticons (and several less-lame human villains) make up the bulk of the storylines, including this episode.
let's see, in this eppy, Megatron was blown to bits by Starscream via first episode (big flippin duh) and the other decepticons might be on the planets moon or something
Personally...I think this (the human villain) was a workable concept that was hampered by such a stupid name.
ANGRY ARCHER?! What were they thinking?!
I like characters like Hawkeye and Green Arrow, but I think this character is out of place in the Transformers. Still, I'm glad the Archer was limited to just this cameo and was easily trounced by Prime. Anything beyond that would've been laughable, so it's nice to the writers are treading carefully with the use of human villains.
I can understand that. And I do think that introducing human villains to this series is a good idea, as it gives the Autobots something else to do instead of battle Decepticons. But I'm not all that smitten with the Angry Archer.
Unlike Nanosec, who sounds and looks like a cool villain. As well as Meltdown.
That Professor Princess girl from the Soundwave episode is no better. Personally, I can understand shoving some human villains in to mix things up but some of these one-off villains make the Autobots look like Teen Titans wannabes in my eyes.
You're right about Meltdown though. He is a human (sorta) villain who works. Mostly due to him being lethal to the touch for them.
I agree. The less said about...shudder 'Professor Princess', the better.
Meltdown has really turned out to be such a deadly, warped and sadistic villain. I loved his appearence in 'Survival of the fittest' where he kidnaps Sari and forces the Dinobots to serve him.
Nanosec was very good, given Megatron's manipulation and his fate at the end of the episode.
Headmaster was ok. Good adaptation of the classic G1 concept that was tarnished by the irritating manner the character spoke in.
Professor Princess did better than Angry Archer at any rate, bringing down Bulkhead.
Who didn't watch Transformers and cringe during the ads when the girls toys were came on? You knew that those Rainbow Strawberry Cabbage Pony Shortcake... *things* were sickeningly cute, must ultimately be evil and needed to be destroyed by your Transformers, even the Decepticons. At least, that's what you tried to explain to your parents, who didn't believe you.
i dont know how much they knew in the 80s but today this would be proof that little girls watched the show...marketing companies know their demographics better than they know the shit their selling

The Transformers in Animated don't fight the Decepticons all the time purely so that when they DO, it has more impact.
Remember, any given Decepticon can usually hold his own against the whole Autobot team.
