That's kind of rude (but true).

But I'm surprised nobody has updated the news post. What's up with that?
Maybe no one's submitted the news or alerted any of the news staff yet.


Thought someone had told them by now. It's not a matter of great concern to me, and I'm sure someone already did.

*scrolls down*

Yep, they updated it. Nevermind.

Well, we don't yet know if it ends at four. All we know is that it doesn't end at three and there's a fourth coming. Its ending remains unknown.

I don't see Prime's run as "short" at all. At the end of Season 2 we'll have 52 episodes, same as Beast Wars, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. Since Season 3 is confirmed to have at least 16 episodes, that makes Prime the longest running series since G1.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't want Prime to end either, as it is a really good show(even if it is just a tad status quo-ey), but it has had and is having a good run.

However, episode counts don't mean squat if half of them are sub par filler episodes. Here's hoping for continued quality.

Weapon: Concussion Cannon
The show should end, its too inconsistent especially when transformers battle. An example of what I am talking about would be the One Shall Rise Episode and the later episode where Nemesis Prime/Silas beats the entire Autobot team. In one episode they are extremely powerful in the next they are beaten by a human in a big robot, and the reason, because he used his years of military combat experience. last time I checked the Transformers were fighting for Millions years....... We also have similar situations, with the recent Insecticon episodes.
Transformers Animated and WFC/FOC are the most interesting interpretations of Transformers that has come along in recent years. Unfortunately I would/will not miss Transformers Prime when it gets cancelled.

Season 1 already ruined it for me. Season 2 is a vast improvement, though, but still not quite there, yet there is hope.

"Darkness Rising" was awful. Easily the worst part of the show.
Nothing majorly exciting happened from episode 6 to 11 (Breakdown and Knock Out coming in was expected to happen from the get-go, so they just helped to get the status quo into what it was already meant to be).
"Predatory" was cool, I'll give you that.
13-14 were also good
"Shadowzone" felt pointless and "Operation: Breakdown" felt unnecessarily dark
"Crisscross" was great
"Metal Attraction" had no meat to it
19-20 were very good
21-22 had promise, but ultimately went nowhere (except for making Ratchet cool in 22).
23-26 were trying WAAAAAY to hard to be epic, and pulled the unimpressively cliche Unicron card to do it, using the guy way too early in the series and thus giving the finale a very hollow feeling of unoriginality (minus him being inside the Earth, but it was still him, regardless). Though, the return of Orion Pax was a welcome, but that was covered more by season 2. :roll:

Only 7 out of 26 episodes really stood out for me. The rest was a disappointment.

Season 2 has gotten so much better, though, but it needs to kick it up just a little more.
