[@mtlaunder]

Thanks for the shoutout

[@Autobot-Sonic]

@@mtlaunder OMG, I KNEW IT!! Thank you SO MUCH for confirming that! And it was my pleasure! LOVED the work you and the rest of the crew did this season, I can't wait to see what's coming in the next batch!

​@AutobotSonicTheTelltaleGamer I'm looking forward to my nezha and transformers

[@katethedolphingirl101]

My theory: starscream feared megatron for years, now possibly out of PTSD and trauma. He could want Megatron to fear him just like he did to him.

[@littlemisstfc]

Ahhh, yes. Earthspark: the show with good ol *CHILD MURDER* :D

[@tykiradx4759]

I hope Spitfire and Aftermath return

[@transformandgobricks7820]

I'm glad that the rest of the Decepticons have turned on Starscream, realizing that he's gone insane! Maybe if we get another batch of episodes with the Quintessons as the villains, maybe all of the Decepticons will finally have a change of heart and start working together with the Autobots and the Maltos.

[@KTWhatsup]

That's an interesting pick for the thumbnail.

[@charjrperalta1658]

"HEY starscream heard you like them young" "Yes they make for good powersources" "Wait wha-"

[@KTWhatsup]

Okay, as for my opinions on Screamer, I'm not too crazy on how they basically made him a typical villain after giving us something fresh and interesting in Season 1. You made Starscream sympathetic, caring, a good mentor figure to Hashtag, but then you make him a ruthless villain no less than Megatron. However, at the same time, I still kind of liked him as the villain, probably because of Steve Blum. He's just great at making Starscream sounding so evil. But honestly, I think I would've been better if they made Shockwave the villain instead. He had not previous indication that he was a misunderstood person, and I think it would've made more sense if he took over the decepticons instead of Starscream.

[@griffysfnafchannel]

that would've been better than assassinating Starscreams Character, and it would've made more sense for Shockwave to find other decepticons rather than the ones that were also assassinated by a new team of writers with a poor understanding of the shows Previous season.

[@KTWhatsup]

@@griffysfnafchannel He can still have Soundwave, Skullcruncher, the Insecticons, Hardtop and Swindle. And, maybe Skywarp and Nova Storm too.

[@Blastertronus]

Ok, I'm just gonna come out as say this. What if Starscream is merely imitating the abuse that Megatron has inflicted on him? Like, I remember vividly from a video by Serum Lake on the DC Villain Brainiac, where he said that "studies show that those that have been abused can gravitate towards replicating the traumatic experiences, especially if the abuse took place in their childhood". What if that what's really going on here, and the way he's acting and how he treats the Chaos Terrans in Season 2 is something of a glimpse of What Megatron used to be before his face turn? Could be a case if "the Abused becomes the Abuser" and Starscream is effectively becoming the very person he hates. Although it might likely be a Case of character assassination through BAD writing and not either respecting or understanding the Themes of Season one, but until the Next Batch comes out, This is my Head-Canon for the time being.

[@servingcal]

HELP -- i noticed Breakdown and Bumblebee in that fighting scene, and how they LOOKED like they were just kinda rough-housing but in a more combatted manner, and as a GIANT, LITTERALLY SUCH A BIG Breakbee shipper I was overly happy for no reason from the smallest and cutest little thing.

[@kendrickvieraramos]

17:09 SHREDDER!!!! Is in earthspark

[@transformandgobricks7820]

Finally a female Titan in Transformers!

[@hevvy]

Is Starscream going to get a redemption arc? The cold killing of the two terrains was a shock, but maybe Shockwave may call a temporary truce with the Maltos to stop Starscream. I m interested to see where the writers are taking this. You are a great reviewer and I love all your reviews. So balanced.❤

[@ishashifar]

I mean Starscream has more or less been defeated he lost his power and is stuck in a titan, there's nothing more he can do since the quintessons are the next villains It would be a pretty bold move if they tried to redeem him after he killed two children if it's done well without the classic redemption through death I don't have problem but that takes a lot of writing potential to pull off,he really has nowhere left to go the autobots are his enemy,he betrayed his own allies and because of what he did the Maltos hate him too if he wants to change it's all on him

[@speedflashanimations221]

So He’s just taken out and forgoten in season 3

[@persona7545]

11:19, This was actually my most favorite scene of this entire season because (this is bias but I don't care) I recognized not only the tinikling (you got it right btw) as a filipina but also the music that was especially made for tinikling. I love tinikling from my childhood and today and seeing it in my favorite transformers series made me geek out so much. PINOY PRIDE!!!

[@charjrperalta1658]

PINOY PRIDE when I learned Alex malto was a Filipino I connected the dots... yeah I found my future life... but I perfer wreckers so hubcap save me from an insecticon

That little scene of Starscream was scary!

[@J_Rad48]

How the f did this show make me scared of starscream STARSCREAM!?

[@ElizabethPrado-vl7mh]

...don't ask...

[@KTWhatsup]

As for the second part, I actually like this one better. Robby makes a speech and plan to take the decepticon's half of the emberstone, and the Autobots and Megatron were informed. Cut to decepticons base where we see Breakdown again. (Where was he the whole time?) And we also see the insecticons! Where were they?! This literally our first time seeing them since the Season 1 finale. And not just them, but Arcee too. Where was she this whole time?! Also, where are Cosmos and Frenzy? Why aren't they here? Minor missing characters aside, the whole battle is alright. It's nothing crazy to brag about. But back at the Malto homestead, Spitfire easily takes out Thrash and Alex and steals their half of the emberstone, and kidnaps Alex to make a bargain. Now here's where I'm kinda conflicted, Starscream threatens to kill Alex if Robby doesn't hand the other emberstone pieces, and honestly, I don't know if I would mind if Alex did die. I'm not saying I hate Alex, but having him die feels like it could've had potential. I think the reason they didn't kill him, was because they weren't sure how they could in a not so brutal way. I'm not upset they kept Alex alive, but I am curious what would've happened if they did kill him off. But I guess it wouldn't really matter because Starscream can just easily take back the rest of the shards whether he kills Alex or not. Gotta keep that plot moving. So, Spitfire somehow reconstructs the emberstone (Most of it) and deactivates all the autobots and terrans. Also side note, this is second time Wheeljack gets deactivated by Spitfire. He cannot catch a break! I am glad they took Twitch out of the story we don't always need her to be the one to save the day, but come on! Why Nightshade? I am glad Thrash plays a big part after his sideling back in Season 1. Anyways, Starscream has the emberstone and kills Aftermath and Spitfire. I can't say I'm surprised, but I am still so disappointed! I wanted to see more of these chaos terrans. They were such an interesting concept and we only get two, and ones a repaint. While I do feel like Starscream's character from Season 1 was 180, Steve Blum plays him spectacularly! His voice performance is so good sounding so evil, even if it doesn't fit Starscream here. Also I love how Thrash calls Starscream's sleeve a chaos sleeve. It reminds me of when he named Meridian, Mandroid back in Ep 2. Anyways, Robby, Mo, Hashtag and Thrash all band together to create a giant shield to stop Terratronus and Starscream, and somehow take back the emberstone from him. But it shatters into dust, why? Is it because Starscream used it to control Terratronus and absorbed all its power, or would've have broken anyway if they fixed it normally? Anyways, now that Terratronus is currently deactivated, and that Executioner has been sent into space, I think Quintessons are now coming. It's Judgement Day for all of us! I definitely prefered Part 2 over one, but it's still not my favorite. Starscream felt out of character, the chaos terrans were killed off too soon, and I'm not sure how to feel about them threatening to kill Alex. As a whole, this is my least favorite two-parter in Earthspark currently. Not only is Part 1 a slog to progress through, but Part 2 has some wasted potential elements here and there. Also, this episode has the laziest title I have ever seen. It's just called "Witwicky", you couldn't have called it something better like "Rise of the Titan" or, "Chaos Reigns", something more original. Home is one of the best two-parters and it's title does also sound lazy, but it also gives a bit of a somber vibe to it, given the episode's context. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

[@TomCat0217]

Ohhh boy. There is a lot to unload in this two-parter. Starscream is such a menace in this season and what he does to Aftermath and Spitfire here is more dark than a guy watching his own sister getting vaporized by Energon since Aftermath and Spitfire are basically kids. I like the moment with the music being played when Starscream’s back is turned with the lighting as he corrects Hashtag about the advice he gave her in the first season. I actually recently played the Uncharted games this year prior to the first batch of episodes being released and I was shocked to see that Chloe mother****ing Frazer herself, Claudia Black, being in the series voicing the first Terran: Terratronus. After finding out she was in the series, it made me want other Uncharted actors (besides Nolan North and Troy Baker) to appear in the series, such as Emily Rose (Elena) to voice Moonracer where she is middle aged like Bumblebee, but still comes off as perky, and Richard McGonagle (Sully) to voice Kup where he is still kicking it and smoking cygars. If Nolan and Troy were to voice any more characters for the series, I would like to see them voice the Lambo bros Sideswipe and Sunstreaker for them to be like the Nathan and Sam Drake of the series. Something tells me that we’re not getting any more new characters for the series though.

[@diegokin3421]

How are they going to revive spitfire

[@Vannyhill-xi3cn]

I honestly still dont like what they did to starscreams character, there was so much potential to redeem him or smthn (basing off of season 1)

[@mituni14]

These two episodes kinda sum up my feelings about this batch of episodes. Which they are mixed. It had some great moments. The reveal of Terratronus is amazing. (any tf show that shows off titans is just cool tbh) But at the same time it had moments that just upset me. The scene with Hashtag, Mo and Starscream especially. Strascream wasn't redeemed but at the end of s1 it felt like he was on his way and these two eps kinda destroyed any chance he had at redemption. I don't know what second batch will bring. I'm still gonna be hopeful about it, maybe we'll see Prowl or Nightshade could have ep centered about them.

[@pillbot]

i need either a breakbee kiss or a megop kiss in this season or i'm going to do something i'll regret 🙏🙏

[@alexadams4358]

REALLY Hoping That The Quintessences Come Back and Become A New Threat In Season 2B. . . . . Season 2 Was Great But Also Disappointing. Like Spitfire Trying To Take Twitch's Place In A Mission Ment For Her, AND TAKING HER BODY, Starscream and The Decepticons Just Turn Evil LIKE THAT. And The Emberstone Being TURN INTO DUST!!! Prime Relics are REALLY Breakable. Like the Forge Of Solus Prime became Powerless and SMASHED.

[@TheShadowDuelist]

I love this episode but also have mixed feelings with it okay to start off with part 1 it was really good I like the parts with Terrans really fun to watch them and like at one scene they have cave water frosting cake like that is so cute!!! I like the sibling bond with hashtag and mo and how they adventure down the cave where they get greeted to my two fav scenes of part 1 where they meet Titan Terratronus and how she is the first Terran how they are related that just freaking awesome!!! Also the Quintessons are mentioned!? Could that mean they are gonna be the main antagonist of season 2 they’re gonna judging be earth! I also wanna say that they been really gone for a long time like we seen the Quintessons appear in G1, bay verse, and cyberverse, and now they’re gonna play the big bad!? That would be so sweet. Then we have the chaos Terrans!!! I love these two their sibling bond as brother and sister is so wholesome. Everything else was nice, I would give it a 9/10 some bits were a little slow but overall was amazing! Now for part 2 and oh boy I have mix feeling’s for this one so start with Starscream okay I loved his redemption arc in season 1 it was so epic but now he that changed back to being evil was okay but since he completely lost his mind and went to a cruel sociopath is feels like it’s a little out of a character I mean I know that’s his personality but still he switched sides without any real explanation why he did that but yeah now I love to hate Starscream right now I like him but I don’t love him he was awesome but now he went to being pure evil I hope he might given a second chance. I would like to talk all the other characters staring with the Terrans and the autobots they were fantastic I like how they all we’re together in the their battle with the Decepticons was really nice also the Decepticons were cool especially shockwave I like his little rebellion and how he might become what Megatron has started, a tyrant. Now for last scenes episodes and oh Boy this part is really deep and very dark so thrash and Robby along with hashtag and mo meet up with the Chaos Terrans and That Starscream has arrived with cool hearted guitar theme whenever he arrives but he then twisted the advice he gives hashtag and then at most saddest scene where he kills Aftermath and spitfire this scene made me cry and hate Starscream like he kill cybertronian kids like what the heck bro I like how Croft and Mandroid died they deserved it for their actions but the chaos Terrans why, they are misunderstood bro there still learning and that there just kids and where they were born with evil intentions inside because of the chaos energy! This scene is impactful, I hope there still alive because I really love this two especially spitfire she was my fav character of the show I really love her, I hope she still alive 😢 the final scene starts where starscream has the power of the emberstone and gets himself a chaos sleeve and starts attacking and the heroes all use their might to take him down and put a end to his wrath, that scene was cinematic!!! At the end all the others are safe and then the emberstone is destroyed. Oh boy a lot happen here and this episode made me at the edge of the seat the whole entire time I’m gonna this a 8/10 This episode was legendary I really enjoyed it had an amazing time with it as a whole I would give it a 8.5/10. See you guys!!!

[@anwenlokier2292]

Terratronus is in my school vr game as the Guardian of Goalius comatose body, and her boss fight is climactic (Phase 1 is destroying 2 massive Energon pillars to unlock her spark chamber, Phase 2 is deactivate the energy shields to access her spark which it pulls a Hollow Knight by ever continuing the fight against Terratronus and soon a Embercharged Goalius, or speed up the healing process for Goalius to fight Exogon's Titan Breaker drill) and it is really good

[@speedflashanimations221]

would it be insulting if they redeem shockwave and have him take all the decpeticons back to cybertron and keep starscream as the villian?

[@ishashifar]

I don't think shockwave will be redeemed though he doesn't care much about the Terrans or correcting his mistakes,he's just looking out for their species to get back to cybertron that doesn't exactly count as a redemption more so acting in their own interest just not going on a titan rampage like Starscream did

[@servingcal]

if spitfire and aftermath don't come back, well, this is officially one of the darkest transformers series for tv-y7 -- if not for the rating literally just in general -- because of not just character death, but child death.

[@joeythecar0_099]

Emperor kumquat already did a video on how bad earthspark season 2 messed up the characters and I had to agree with him even worse they screwed over the decepticons so bad that some of the decepticons act out of character like breakdown went from this great heroic bot and freind of bumblebee to a straight up jerk. now that's what I call messed up character development.

[@KTWhatsup]

I somewhat agreed with him. Starscream and Breakdown were completely botched, Skywarp and Nova Storm are, debatable. But the rest? I don't really see their turn to evil as aggravating as he sounds.

[@Mike-du8ns]

27:17 If this were Skybound, Starscream would've squished Alex into a bloody pulp.

this episode I have mixed feelings on, for me it represents the whole Batch in my opinion. Starscream killing children and going insane at the end just felt out of nowhere for his character, Theres some good set up for the next Batch of episodes, Spitfire and Aftermath didn't deserve to die, I think the Emberstone being destroyed was a risky but probably good decision in the long run.

[@KTWhatsup]

Okay, I have two separate comments for the two parts. This is the Part 1 review. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a big fan of Part 1. First, I'm not buying the whole "There's 0 history about Witwicky on the internet". How is there no history there?! Sure, there might be some history in the library, but nah! We're just gonna go back to the ruins because that's more interesting and totally not forced. Also, Mo neglected her homework and not being interested in history? What? This feels out of character for her, and while I can kinda relate, this feels like something more aligned for Robby. But no, we can't have him paired with HS, because we already had that in the last episode! The whole adventure sequence wasn't even entertaining. We have HS and Mo avoiding Dwellers (BTW, am I the only one who's annoyed there's more of these things? Makes the one back in Ep 21 less special. But this isn't the only time this two-parter disses What Dwells Within, we'll get back to that) Meanwhile, the Maltos are partying without them. (Inconsiderate) Though I find it funny how they're grossed out by Dot and Alex kissing, even though we never see that side of them ever. And now we finally get to the good stuff, in last 5 minutes. The whole story with Terratronus, Quintus and the Quintessons is so fascinating. I like how the quintessons are portrayed here compared to other continuities, these might be my favorite versions of them yet, and I've never really liked them in the first place. I also like the concept of a titan terran. Here's holding out hope we get a terran combiner. And we learn that Starscream wants to take control of the titan to wipe out the humans and turn Earth into New Cybertron. This is reminding me of Belos from the final Owl House episode, Watching and Dreaming, where he also possessed a titan to wipe out everyone on the Isles. Overall, this episode was kind of a slog to go through. The whole adventure thing was boring, Mo felt out of character, the plot feels really forced, but the quintessons story kinda made up for all of that. I'll be nice, and give this episode a 5.5/10

[@toukendanshiwarrior2846]

How did Terratronus say she chose Hashtag? It wasn't explained well. What makes her special (mentioned in TVtropes: head-scratcher)? Exactly who can navigate her inner systems? I would accept it's those who wield the cyber-sleeves or any other methods besides Cityspeaking. That's an assumption.

[@cameronmeder166]

Anybody know the name of that guitar rift whenever starscream was on screen in this episode

[@MysteryMrE]

NGL with how the final episode handled starscream I honestly can see it working for him the future. Future redemption? No, but I can see him reasoning with himself that he a decepticon whos probably killed thousands in the war and shaped by it and megatron abuse has chosen his path and will not change no matter how much kindness and love he is given, perhaps even seeing the terrains as people who will never truly understand as they havent faught in a war that spands mellenia
