Now if you thought that alone was daunting enough, all groups have to still be on the lookout for the Terraformars, who want them all either dead, or taken back to where ever they lair for their own experimentation. Group 4 wants them for experimentation, so all of Season Two is the remaining groups teaming up and combating Group 4 for possession of Annex-1, while trying to keep Akari and Michelle from being captured. These two characters’ ability to partially transform into creatures with beefed up traits of their respective genetically integrated insects, a Japanese bagworm, and a bullet ant, are unique among their team mates for they secured some of these abilities prior by having a parent that was on a former mission who was also similarly modified. First off Group 4 turns out to be traitors, their true mission is to capture two of the astronauts, lead character, Akari Hizamaru, and Michelle K. Anyhow what we’ll quickly learn is this whole mission isn’t entirely about getting a vaccine made. history to have this season debuting on disc here in the States. Season Two, simply put, is about treason, which had me thinking what an apropos time in our U.S. The season ends with Group 4 making it back to Annex-1.

This Group 5 was an interesting sub-plot. Season One covered the survival a couple of the groups faced, with Group 5 being wiped out entirely by the bug horde. Sure, piece of cake, where do I sign up?Īnnex-1 is what their ship is called, and they mission ran into tragic trouble as it got close to the planet, somehow a group of Terraformars managed to infiltrate the ship and gruesomely kill off a few members, but before it crashed the astronauts divided themselves into six groups and managed to escape. The reason for this new mission is there’s an alien virus on Earth wreaking havoc and it’s connected to the Terraformars, that connection isn’t fully understood until we get to very end of Season Two, but scientists reasoned if they can get to Mars and bring back, oh, say, roughly a hundred dead specimens they can create a vaccine.

Yes, there’s even a chick that’s had her DNA altered with that of a skunk, and surprisingly the natural ability a skunk as in warding off enemies, believe it or not, actually buys her and her comrade some crucial survival time in this one particular scene.

Each astronaut has been genetically modified with the traits of various flora and fauna, including insects and spiders.
#TERRAFORMERS SEASON 2 SERIES#
Season One of the series is about the third mission Earth launches to the roach infested red planet, but this time the astronauts on board (a coalition of every major country) are going with what they think is a distinct advantage, and in all respects it is, without it they would probably all be wiped out the instant they made contact. Two missions were sent to assess the situation and both were wiped out by the now dubbed, “terraformars.” It looks like evolved roaches are hostile to human beings. Terraformars is about the humanoid cockroaches that inhabit Mars, having gotten that way when mankind attempted to terraform the planet by sending roaches and mosss, and over the centuries these roaches evolved into somewhat primitive humanoid roach-men.
