  Decepticons, transform and rise up!

  Now, I've been watching Transformers: Animated since it premiered in December. While I love the Autobots and the human characters, the Decepticons are by far more amazing. No longer the 'we formulate a fool-proof plan, carry it out, the Autobots foil us, we retreat every episode' Decepticons, these Decepticons are more vicious, devious, cunning and a major threat. I mean, it took all 5 Autobots to even fight one Decepticon. Megatron is no longer a bumbling leader, but a competent frightening, ruthless force to be reckoned with. Starscream here is more treacherous and cunning, done surprisingly well by Spongebob Squarepants himself, Tom Kenny. Lugnut's fanaticism to Megatron and Blitzwing's craziness is a joy to watch. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the Animated Decepticons:

  Blitzwing: (Angry face) Ze name is Blitzving, insect! Remember it! 'Cause it's ze last thing you're gonna hear before I- (switches to crazy face) - express my feelings in song! De itzy bitzy spider...

  Soundwave: I am Soundwave! I am Decepticon! The revolution begins now.

  Blitzwing: (Angry face) Careful, you copper-clad klutz! You stepped in something (switches to crazy face) But with a few dancing lessons, you'll be light on you're stabilizing servos like me. Cha cha cha.

  Lugnut: I believe only two things: The Decepticons will rule Cybertron, and Megatron will rule the Decepticons!

  Blitzwing: (Calm face)The Autobots have called in reinforcements. Perhaps we should lay low until we can determine their strength and numbers.
  Lugnut: I will not hide. I will stand proudly and shout Megatron's name to the heavens!
  Megatron: Oh, for spark's sake...

  Blitzwing: (Calm face) I vill choose zis fighter jet. (switches to angry face) No, de assault tank! (changes back and forth between faces) Jet. Tank! De jet. Tank! Jet. Tank! (changes to crazy face) Oh, ooh-hoo, vy not scan both?

  Blitzwing: (Crazy face) Help. Give me a hand! Or-or a foot? How about a pelvis?!

  Starscream: I'll help you downgrades! But only if you pledge undying alliegance to me!

  Blitzwing: (Calm face) Decepticons, Decepticons. Can't we all just get along? (Switches to Angry face) Or should I crush you into scrap metal?

  Starscream: Megatron?! Alive? And looking... magnificent, as always.
  Megatron: Starscream. How good it is to be reunited with such a devoted and faithful subject in my time of need.
  Starscream: I would have come sooner, o grand and illustrious leader, but naturally we all assumed you perished at the hands of the Autobot scum. What... great... joy to discover you did not.
  Megatron: Yes. Delight is written all over your face.

  Starscream: You interrupted my SPEECH!!!!

  Megatron: Decepticons, transform and rise up!

  Megatron: Is that the best you could do, Starscream? And to think you actually believed you could take over as leader of the Decepticons. You couldn't lead a parade.

  Starscream: Prepare yourself, Megatron, you pompous scrapheap! For my vengeance will be swift and painful!

  Megatron: Fellow Decepticons, take heed. Your leader, Megatron, still lives! Though we remain dispersed throughout the far reaches of the galaxy, exiled from our true home, we are all still Decepticons, united by a common purpose. The time has come for us to put aside our differences and act as one under my undisputed leadership. Only then can we cast off the shackles of Autobot oppression. Working together, we can raise up our glorious empire once more and crush all who stand in our way!

  Megatron: STARSCREAM!
  Starscream: Sorry, you must have me confused with some other harrier jet.

  Iron Man!

  Hey, everyone. This is my first post and though I could be talking about myself, instead, I'm going to talk about a movie I just saw this weekend, Iron Man.

  Iron Man was phenomenal! I loved it and I can't stop gushing about it. It was that good. I mean, it might as well be, given it made over $100 million opening weekend.

  First of all is the cast. Robert Downey, Jr. was born to portray Tony Stark. He portrays Stark as the smart, arrogant magnificent jerk that he is perfectly! And I loved the way he slowly grows a sense of moral consciousness as he does everything he can to correct the wrongs his company has done. Gwyneth Paltrow does a spectacular job as Pepper Potts. She was smart, loyal, witty, and dare I say it, kinda hot. I like Terrence Howard as James Rhodes. He didn't have many scenes, but he did fine in the ones he did.

  The story was pretty good. It follows the comic book origin pretty closely. As mentioned above, it's mainly about Tony Stark, the futurist businessman and inventor, kidnapped by terrorists and forced to build them their weapons. Instead, he builds an armor and uses it to escape. After returning from his imprisonment, he realizes that his company has been supplying the same terrorists with its weapons and decides to put a stop to it. So he build his own armor and becomes Iron Man to stop them.

  In conclusion, the movie was awesome. There's great action, humor and characterization. It's worth it to see Iron Man in action. I can't wait for the sequel (Oh, trust me, there will be a sequel).
