Still pissed the Decepticons never win anything. They got the hammer, but what good will it do them? It will just end up in the hands of Optimus later in the series anyway. That's why I liked Animated, the Decepticons actually posed a threat and managed to beat the Autobots in a few episodes. But here on TF Prime, they lose in every episode. It's old. Really freaking old to the point where I don't even feel like watching the show anymore.

But then I haven't real Exiles or Exodus yet, so you are probably right.

GO READ THEM! Despite how well (or not well) they are written, they are the most thoroughly informative sources of this continuity, drawing out more inside info from the Binder of Revelation than anything else does.

Though, the new Transformers: Online game seems to be doing so as well, drawing form the Binder, the novels, and the Prime cartoon all at once.

They won last episode. And in the early episodes of previous multi-parters. Of course they're not going to win in the last part of the multi-part episodes. Same thing happened with Animated:

• Transform and Roll Out - Starscream lost to Optimus
• Megatron Rising - All Cons beaten, Starsceam temporarily killed
• A Bridge Too Close - Space Bridge destroyed, Cons beaten, Megs and Screamer lost in space
• TransWarped - Team Chaar retreated, Megs/Screamer stuck warping randomly through space, Skywarp and Thudercracker lost in space
• Human Error - Ratbat killed, Soundwave defeated, Laserbeak/Soundwave retreated
• Endgame - Starscream killed for good, Supreme clones destroyed, Cons all arrested

In this episode it was really a push. Three Iacon relics. Shield was destroyed. Autobots got the Extractor but would never use it, Decepticons got the Forge but can't use it.

The thing is, in Prime, the Decepticons are winning in general, their grand schemes just rarely come to fruition. The Cons have far greater resources, technology and numbers while the Bots are just barely have enough Energon to get by. If the Cons ever won a major victory, it would probably be all over. Hell, if the Autobots don't make some major strides they are probably screwed in the long run.

You know why that is? Because watching the villains win isn't nearly as fun as watching the heroes overcome them. It's why the Decepticons always lose, Cobra is always defeated, and the Joker is sent back to Arkham. Because the whole point is to have the heroes win in the end.

Yeah, Sly. Would you still be rooting for them if this were real life, with them trying to kill/enslave all of humanity (including you) and such?

Actually he's on record with a "yes" to that question, if I remember right.

Terrific episode! This really had me on edge, I had no clue what was gonna happen.

I loved the part where Megatron arrived on the scene and took the hammer. Really dark episode. I was hoping the Autobots would get the hammer and somehow fix BB's T-Cog and voice.

I was hoping Starscream would try to join the Autobots when he saw them arrive, what can he possibly turn to now? He's betrayed everyone...maybe he'll go expose himself to the humans for sake of nothing better to do? Or the humans becoming aware of Megatron (like they could do anything). Can't wait to see what happens the rest of this season...

Well, considering MECH already has weapons capable of taking down Transformers, the humans probably could put up a fight.

Yeah Starscream seems to be up the subspace without a bridge. I am very interested in seeing how they take that plot line. I seem to be fascinated with a born flier not having flight.

So far, this is the best transformers series since the original G1 (which I saw as a kid) This series has Autobot characters I can feel for and actually enjoy. Autobot characters in the past felt shallow and had little to no background. I got the torrent of the latest. I just can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can have a copy <3
