OK, that was great.
As for Megatron's clogged barrel problem? Couldn't he just have deployed his blade?

He did. Couldn't he just blast the damn web off?

gun+clogged barrel=bad stuff happens when fired.

No, actually. Firing a weapon with a clogged barrel is a very, very bad idea.

Yeah. It's just like in those Bugs Bunny cartoons where he pokes closed Elmer Fudd's gun barrels with his fingers. Gun goes boom in Elmer's face.

It wasn't clogged, the top of it just got covered by a web.

The barrel was still obstructed reguardless. As stated above, firing any weapon with a blocked barrel is a terrible idea.

I think the point is that it's not an ordinary gun, it's a fusion cannon. It shoops many whoops on things. Not bullets. Shoops. I think that's why people say it's okay to shoot.

I couldn't care less, either way. It was awesome watching Megatron melee that thing to death.

It's still a weapon, kinetic or otherwise, it's still a bad idea to fire with an obstructed barrel.

your right it isn't a ordinary gun its worse. just take a step back and think about the guns name "fusion cannon". now I don't know for certain how his gun really works......but to me if it fires fusion blasts.....fusion works by taking things and cramming them together....hard....just think of what would happen if a implosion like that had happened at the end of his arm.


edit:
I also got to thinking that perhaps the dmg a fusion cannon causes might not be from a fusion reaction but from a gravitational disturbance.

Well, it HAS been stated that Megatron's fusion cannon draws it's energy from a black hole. I don't know if that's the case in TF Prime, but if so, that is ALOT of power. Not even light itself can escape the gravity of a black hole, so concentrating that into a firing weapon? Well, lets just say, I'm surprised that stronger weapons exist. Of course, this is all just guesswork on my part, seeing as how it hasn't (yet) been stated that TF Prime's Megatron uses the same type of tech, but I believe that's how fusion cannons work in the TF Universe anyway, so again, ALOT of power there. Firing it while blocked or clogged would have made a crater the size of texas, and probably would have re-awakened Unicron to boot

finally had a chance to sit down to read exodus and exiles. I enjoyed exodus a great deal, was a great tie in for the game. exiles on the otherhand was to busy, I don't think irvine stayed on any one topic long enough....almost felt it should have been two books fleshed out more.

I really hope they continue to tie the show, game, and books together.

Loved this episode, Arachnid's getting god-moddy, Bumblebee wasn't in it much, Arcee's a dumbass, background characters (Breakdown included) were killed, Insecticons are HUGE! I love that. And yes, I count Breakdown as a background character. He's not really done much, Knockout is more useful than him, and really, I'm not to broken up about Breakdown being dead either. All he really did was add another rivalry into the series that has WAY too many rivalries.

Optimus vs Megatron
Arcee vs Airachnid
Arcee vs Starscream
Bulkhead vs Breakdown
Wheeljack vs Dreadwing

Just one or two rivalries should be enough.

Also: I haddn't noticed this before, but Dreadwing talks in Tigertron's voice!
