"Scrapheap" isn't one of my particular favorite, but I really do like the horror aspect of it (also, yeah, Girly scream Bulkhead is actually pretty funny). Because shit son, watching Transformers basically getting eaten alive is a scary thing. Good of the animators for showing that off so well.
I think my favorite episode is "Predatory". It's the episode where I felt the team got it. And it went on pretty well for like two more episodes, then it plummeted back to meh.

Predatory was good, and Airachnid was interesting there. She was sort of filling the Lockdown bounty hunter roll, but that didn't pan out in the end.
Granted, this doesn't remedy the fact that much of Season One was basically the Arcee Show. I think overall, I would have appreciated long term if, ya know, the writers developed the other characters along with Arcee.
This was probably pretty much the issue. Given that half the other characters were little cardboard popsicle sticks, most of the time I was going 'Shut up, Arcee'. If the other Autobots had been developed enough to actually try and confront her or help her, it might have made everything much more enjoyable. If the others had more than 'I beep a lot' and 'Miko almost gets me killed every week' then it might have had a lot more balance.
Also, she totally replaced Prowl *is a Prowl fan*. XD
And this might be part of my problem with both shows. I hated Prowl in TFA and hated how much the writers loved him to pieces. He was overused to me because I really didn't like him. I don't like the whole RoboChakra Ninja thing- even though that's existed since forever in TF. I just can't stand it. And with Prowl they added all of these elements into one character that kind of had me eye rolling. That show was awesome if you loved Prowl.
If you didn't like Prowl so much, then there's a lot of screen time that's kind of annoying.
I love Knockout. Love him. But I'm stuck deciding if I like him or Soundwave more because I really think Soundwave is badass here.
Soundwave was a massive badass. I did like the subtlety with him. For most of the show, he's almost like a background accessory. But then, push comes to shove and you see that there are reasons why he's so high on the totem pole. It makes me kind of wonder if he was going to do anything against Starscream when they were trying to 'unplug' Megatron earlier in the season.

Man, she was awesome. Then she turned into yet another line of generic villain in the series. Such a shame.
"And this might be part of my problem with both shows. I hated Prowl in TFA and hated how much the writers loved him to pieces. He was overused to me because I really didn't like him.

Really? I'm the opposite. They used him a lot in Season One, but in Season 2 and 3, he really wasn't anymore overexposed as the others - I'd say they underplayed him (which makes sense since he was pretty overplayed in Season One).
I'm actually not sure how and why I still love Prowl. I don't care for ninjas, I don't care for the Lancer type, I don't really care for the stoic characters either. In fact, I tend to like the nice guys like Optimus Prime (and boy do I adore TFA Optimus). I think Prowl's character type have largely fallen in my "Exceptions to the Rule" list.
"Soundwave was a massive badass. I did like the subtlety with him."
Note to writers: Don't ever, EVER let Soundwave talk unless it's his final appearance. When he'll say some final words that means a lot. Please, writers, pleaaaaaaaase.
