loose cannon 
noun
a person whose reckless behavior endangers the efforts or welfare of others.

a person or thing that appears to be beyond control and is potentially a source of unintentional damage

a loudmouth; a braggart. : As it turned out, he's not just a loose cannon. He makes sense.

One who is uncontrolled and therefore a serious and unpredictable danger. For example, We can't trust her to talk to the press; she's a loose cannon. This metaphoric expression alludes to cannon mounted on the deck of a sailing ship, which if dislodged during combat or a storm could cause serious damage to both vessel and crew by sliding about. Its figurative use dates from the first half of the 1900s.

I'd be happy with Grimlock, don't get me wrong.

My main concern is that this episode sounds an awful lot like Wheeljack's episode from Season 1. I hope this doesn't become a once a season thing.

Either way, I just want to see more characters show up. I know it costs more money with CG shows to add new characters, and a smaller cast allows for more character development, but come on! They already have a Wheeljack model in the system, lets get that guy back on earth!

Luv you too, At0mic Cav3man

Much love indeed, my friend.

I know what loose cannon means, im sayin it could be a double entendre, i.e. title= Loose Cannons, ironhide has two big cannons and he's a loose cannon.

I would like to clarify my position, i will not deny that i am a huge ironhide fan and would like him on the show. However, i do not necessarily think he might be in this episode, im just pointing out that most of the evidence points more to ironhide than to anyone else. I will be disappointed if he doesnt appear, but i wont be mad because you're right, they havent said ironhide will be on the show.

WFC and Prime shares the same continuity

I don't see how there would be something wrong with Ironhide. But if Optimus saw an autobot turn into a t-rex, I believe he'd think there's something wrong.

Watch it end up being someone we never even see coming. It's gonna be like Jazz or Prowl, making everyone holding up their Ironhide and Grimlock signs drop them and go "Son of a...".

Well wouldn't it be great if it was Punch/counterpunch It would be awesome if the story would center around a autobot whose spark was moved to a cons body to keep him alive... With disastrous results
