Plot:

Watched the movie on 25 June night @ GV Max with Sylvia and Vanessa.

Another childhood cartoon comes to life. This sequel definitely rocks me off my seat like the 1st episode with spectacular visual effects. The fight scenes were extravagant and fast-paced.

As usual, our heroes Optimus Prime and Bumblebee returned to save the day. There were also many new Autobots and Decepticons introduced in this sequel. The ones that caught my attention were definitely Jetfire and the Twins - Mudflap & Skids.

Jetfire was a Seeker and former Decepticon who transformed into a SR-71 Blackbird. However, his wounds and age had made him choose to become an Autobot, He creaked, could not transform well, and said to be running out of energon. Also, he walked with a cane, which doubled as a battle axe. A wise old teacher who helped the folks to translate the script.

The Twins on the other hand, were Autobot infiltrators transformed respectively into a red Chevrolet Trax and green Chevrolet Beat. Mudflap was very hyperactive, while Skids believed himself to be the smarter of the two and tried to come across as mature, but nevertheless appears unable to keep quiet.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie very much despite many said this sequel was not as good as the first one. And I very recommend it should be watch in cinema with big screen and good sound system to enjoy the best effect.
