Hopefully we’ve all seen the first two episodes but what are your thoughts on Tobot Evolution so far? (Also spoilers in text and edit)
All right, so far I am liking the season now. I do wish that the voice actors for a few characters—like Timmy and Nathan—sound like they went through reverse puberty. And I don’t have a big issue with Officer Oh, but I just feel like her voice is too young, and I feel like Boss Karrs new VA is the best as well as X. But other than that, it is fine so far.
Next, for new characters, I am liking Kai and Noble Guardian. I feel like they’re going to be a fun addition, and I do think that they’re going to get redeemed because Noble Guardian looks cool and I want him to get a toy. As for Victor, Flame, and Thunder, I feel like they were kind of just out of place in episode two. I don’t know really, maybe it would be a lot better if they were introduced in episode one, but I am liking them so far. And one of my favorite moments from episode two was when Victor tried to catch the cat to get energy or something (I could’ve misunderstood), and then Flame went like, “Oh my gosh (or God), 0%!”
And one of my issues a bit is the fact that, you know, two episodes in and they are getting their evolution forms in episode three. Normally, you will probably give them to them at the end of episode two or even in episode one. Why in the third episode of this season? I mean, it’s not a giant issue for this 24-episode season, but still a bit weird.
And I also love how we got a lore reason on why Z doesn’t have an evolution form. Cause, you see, in the episode, Victor threw out one of his lightbulbs or something in his vehicle form, and Z kind of ran over it because he forgot to pick it up, and then it did something to his mind core, which almost ended in a catastrophe when Great Six separated while they were saving somebody. But anyways, when Franklin and Limo were talking about the upgrade for X, Y, and Z, he said something about a mind core. I don’t know if they either enhance the mind core or if the mind core plays a very vital part. I don’t understand Korean, but it seems like he didn’t get that same treatment until he gets his mind core fixed. And, you know, we did get a flashback to his mind core surgery, so it has to do something there. I just need the episodes to release on YouTube so I can use translated settings.
Another thing is, one of my favorite parts about the Dalloway gang is the fact that they actually care about each other. Like, literally, when Boss Karr was hospitalized, Valerie is now in her revenge arc, and it seems like they really care about each other. And we did see this back in season three, episode 20, and you can really tell that she is going to become really vengeful in episode three based off of the trailer that was released—or at least that I saw.
Now for the animation: sometimes it looks good, and sometimes it looks weird.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. What about yours?
