It's actually somewhat common in fiction for things to work like that, freeing the people held captive by a spell by taking out the guy casting it. I suppose Dark Energon had something to do with it as well.


Same reason why every con in Chicago got sucked into the space bridge at the end of DOTM, when the pillars/Sentinel were destroyed.


Exactly. Or like in FEAR, where after you kill Paxton Fettel, all of the Replicas he's controlling shut down.

Point is, it is a bit on the convenient side, but it's a fairly commonly-used thing. Also, what would you have them do? Stay in stasis for the rest of the series?

well they could have had the stasis effect just wear off.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

It did, though. It was just tied to Trypticon because Dark Energon is just wacky sometimes.

I Felt like this episode had lackluster writing, but it was good all the same. It just felt a bit rushed.

A lot of Knockout! :grin: So much paint damage! :lol:

Yeah. I didn't care for it as much as I felt I could have if they had gone another direction with it.

I did laugh at all the crap Knockout went through.

Is there anyway to watch this episode online or do I have to wait until the 11:30 encore?

Episode 38 -

Looks like both sides are gonna split up their teammates to go after all four relics at once. The 'Bots are gonna be spread preeeetty thin going that route, so any them actually getting any of the relics has gotta be nothing short of a miracle (since they'll be so outnumbered and outgunned when spread so thin).

BANANA FISH! :lol: :lol: :lol:

How on Earth did both Arcee and Bumblebee manage to fit through that narrow corridor?

I wonder if Vogel's gonna be another one-off character, or if we'll see him again due to his affinity for aliens.

Knock Out, one Insecticon, and three miners. Looks like the Deceps really went for the bare minimum of who's going after this relic. So much for the 'Bots being outnumbered and outgunned. :roll:

Knock Out seems to be flirting with Arcee (or at least, playfully taunting her). Didn't Starscream say that Knock Out was "one of those"? ;)

"Hey, watch the finish!" -- little late for that, Knock Out. :P

The new relic makes its wearer intangible. A "Phase Shifter", as Arcee calls it.

Man, this is the most beat up we've ever seen Knock Out look. He'll be buffing his paint job for weeks. lol

I guess we won't be seen Vogel again anytime soon.

A decent episode. It felt like a mix between the Armada episode where they go into the New York subway tunnels looking for a Mini-Con (and run into Smokescreen), and the first chapter of the Matrix Quest in Marvel G1. In fact, I bet the next few episodes will also have a very Matrix Quest feel to them, what with the 'Bots/'Cons searching in four locations for a sacred relic in each, and possibly culminating in a finishing episode that ties the four relic hunting episodes together. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

You misunderstand. They didn't say that an "Autobot" would die, but that simply a "main character" would die. Breakdown already did. So that casualty, my friend, is already covered.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.

GAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! I knew it was too good to be true, what with the Autobots winning(almost)every single episode in the damn series. :evil:
