I like the twist idea of the arm's identity being the deceased Alpha Trion's, since it is a very fuchsia-colored arm.

Didn't the classic Trion have some blue/purple on that arm though?

As for why Optimus or Smokescreen wouldn't/didn't notice the familiarity of the arm when they saw it, for Optimus, maybe he did. He probably just didn't get the chance to say so out loud/give exposition to the audience.

Or he may have recognized that the arm was from a Prime, just not one he knew all that well. One way or another, it's pretty clear he recognizes what Megatron did, otherwise wouldn't have been as horrified and pissed off as he was.

The artwork of Aligned Alpha Trion in the Binder of Revelation shows him to be a very megenta/fuschia-colored bot.

I've been saying for a while that it could be the arm of Alpha Trion. I hope it's true.

Then again, it wasn't exactly common knowledge to the general cybertronain public that Alpha Trion was one of the Thirteen, so Megs wouldn't exactly know to take his arm.

Unless he'd had found out later on after the Great Exodus. Like if Shockwave had pried that info out of him and reported it to Megatron at some point.

huh. this next episode is Smokescreen vs knockout for an omega key.
this last one was OP vs Megs for one.

So the next episode is the Speed Key in a sense?

To do the beast key they would probably send a billion insecticons in after, IDK, wheeljack? I'm over thinking this, but the homage is still there.

Hard Knocks?

Knock Out has the Resonance Blaster, controlling sound. Starscream has Red Energon, controlling speed. Smokescreen has the Phase Shifter, defying matter. It's going to be an all-out relic battle for the next key.

Powers or no, two cars, and a jet fighting over a mystic key in a game of speed. With Red Energon. Double Continuity Homage

I get the Cybertron homage, but the other?

That's the most likely outcome. Unless Megatron actually did *GASP*.....research.

G1? Uhm...I don't recall a lot of other battles for keys other than the "Key to Vector Sigma," but even then, the Stunticons and Autobots didn't race.

Or........"Trans-Europe Express." But was there a key?



I'd like to know what the other homage is, BeastProwl

[Autobot032]

Dang. This was a GREAT episode.

I was really let down about Smokescreen's demise. I know it's not realistic to keep everyone around, but I'm really tired of people getting offed on this show. Give us a small window of time, at least.

















Then they blindside me with the phase shifter. Nice. Although...the explanation as to how it saved him is a bit hokey...

[PrymeStriker]

I'm really tired of people getting offed on this show.

Cliffjumper, Skyquake, Makeshift, Tailgate, Seaspray, Breakdown, Hardshell, and maybe Shockwave? None of those guys were major characters, mind Breakdown (which is up for debate anyway). They didn't really develop to a far enough extent for us to care about their deaths, yet again mind Breakdown. I was hoping for the death of Bulkhead, as it would bring some needed drama to this show. Killing off all the bad guys and leave the dead good guys for cameos is a pain.

Megatron was missing for a while- as shown at the very opening of this show. Does his departure happen before the fall of Iacon as per the Smokescreen intro? If so, it's debateable that he (Megz) would know of the death of Alpha Trion or the location of his (A3s') crypt. Furthermore, there had to be Autobots alive who could build that crypt without fear of attracting Decepticon attention, otherwise it would be hidden or makeshift. I'm guessing a golden age Prime, or thereabouts. Maybe a 'lesser' one like Optimus.

There's pretty much an antiquated Autobot symbol on the door. Does it look familiar to anyone?
