ehh... IDK. I feel like when I watch the New Series, Im watching but I'm not. I drift in and out. Like I'M waitng for The "Transformers" to begin cuz they may as well call this show "Robot Avengers" or something. Where are the Decepticons!!?? We havent seen them since Xmas in that debut movie. How long will Megs stay Bodyless. Any other Megs from any other Generation would not have stayed Bodyless that long. They would have done soemthing by now. I could see why they skipped this Episode and went to the Dinobots cuz this Episode should be further down the line. It's one of those seperate shows that has nothing to do with the Ark of the story; They just created it for syndication purposes.
IDK! 8-|
I could go on but Whatever it's just one show.

You do know that Meltdown is the mayor Human vilian in that show?
This is his origin story, they have to show it. And haven't you seen todays eppy jet, it features Lockdown and Blitzwing.

I didn't like this episode at all. To me, a transformers episode without bot 'Bots and 'Cons in it may as well just be any other TV show.

I'll have to disagree with most of the comments about how lousy it was. and how sucky TF Animated is etc...

So yes its one of the weaker episodes. Meltdown's origin is quite lame. And Bumblebee can dish out the jokes and picking on people but can't take it. Yes the Bane knockoff was lousy. But lets not judge the entire series based on a single episode.

Having watched the other episodes I have to say this might have just been a fluke. Maybe they pulled the episode to fix some things.


So far I've liked the series. The story telling has been quite good.
Just one episode where the writers were having a bad day.
I... have the power!!!!

I am not judging the whole show by that one episode...I agree that that would be silly! It's a kids' show...thereare bound to be a few eps that are stinkers for the grown-folks, but not hardly enough to write the WHOLE show off as a total loss! I watched Total Meltdown, I hated it. But I was right there, watching Thrill of the Hunt, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Gotta allow for the stinkers in with the decent...Hell, even G1 had quite a few eps that had first-class tickets to the Land of Suck!

I liked it, it showed Bumblebee is a whining jerk who can dish out the insults and barbs but cannot take them.

Meltdown was an interesting villain, how he is handled later on will be interesting,a s he wasn't "powered down" at the end of the episode at all.

A decent episode to skip too, as it could happen at any point of time thus far in the series.
