What iguanabytes said is true. He obtained a new T-Cog from one of his clones. However, he was last seen about to do the process when another event came up. And that ended up giving him the new armor upgrade.

However, even with the new T-Cog and armor at hand, he does need Energon to survive. And with him being the enemy of both the Autobots and Decepticons, he has nobody but himself to rely on when it comes to obtaining what he needs.

Besides... I have a feeling like he is going to be the one who finds Airachnia's severed piece at some point and make a clone of her from that piece. And with her actual self in stasis, he will end up having a pawn that could help him control the Insecticons... Which would help him get his revenge.

iguanabytes wrote:I thought he was shown to have replaced his T-cog out of one of his clones?

Well, yes and no. He took it, but got interrupted by the relics. I don't know if it's been confirmed if he finished the installation, considering he used a hover-scooter to mobilize in the Antarctic. He's just got badass Apex Armor now.

I can't understand that. If Airachnid is in a stasis pod at Autobot HQ, how will he redeem it/her without physically going there (which would require Autobot HQ coordinates).

See that's what I thought too, he had access to the T-cog but he's been unable to install it yet. Plus come to think of it, he may need some help installing that bad boy haha. There's gotta be something speficially about Red Energon that they have SS going after it instead of anyone else. Unless maybe it's a super concentrate type Energon to help power the Apex Armor.

The case here is tied to that fact that the writers created a "bookmark" - As in a scene for us to remember at a later date. In this case, the scene where a piece of Airachnid is flung off.

That, and Arcee does not know that Starscream possesses Cybertronian cloning technology. Bulkhead might, but I do not think he has realized it yet. And Megatron does, but does not seem to care much for its usefulness.

Which pretty much means that unless Arcee snuck that piece in with her (as I do not recall if any of the Autobots were in possession of it) as a trophy, Starscream will find it and use it for his revenge.

Which makes me wonder if they can use that technology to replicate a Silas-free Breakdown. Or even a Nemesis Prime with its own personality and Cybertronian technology.

Just remember though, it's not a pure cloning machine ... He still needs blank protoforms in order to be able to clone, and in that episode he used all 5 to create his armada. So unless he's got spares, he's out of luck. We haven't seen for sure whether he does or not, so it's pure speculation on my part.

They could clone Breakdown. I wouldn't consider Breakdown the same though, even if he has all of his old memories

Your know, cloning Breakdown would be an interesting way to introduce Swerve (unless he's just another toy-only guy).

The only way we'll ever get a toy of Swerve in the U.S is if Hasbro makes their own Breakdown mold. Remember, they're too cheap to take off the AM ports on Breakdown, let-alone Swerve.

I meant "introduce Swerve" in the cartoon. He'd just be a toyless character in the U.S.

Yeah, I understand. I was just responding to "(unless he's just another toy-only guy)."

PrimeStriker wrote:Yeah, I understand. I was just responding to "(unless he's just another toy-only guy)."

That was in reference to the possibility of him not being in the cartoon and thus being toy-only. Just becuase he toy a Takara-mold doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In no part of my post did I mean to hint at the idea of Hasbro releasing Swerve.

Neither did I say you did. I was simply referring to the fact that Swerve was a Takara release, and I didn't think Hasbro would take a character from Japan's line for their own show without importing it, or making the mold here, which would require a Breakdown one way or the other.

Wow... I missed a lot here.

With the previous topic at hand, Bubbah was right. But I think that the only Decepticon who is capable of building a functioning space bridge can find a few extra blank protoforms.

Oh... And with Breakdown, I kind of see Hasbro using a variation of the Takara Tomy mold. Maybe one with two Breakdown heads and a Silas head... All removable. But will they do it? Doubtful. But I hope I am wrong.

Besides, I am already contempt with my (first-run) AM-11 Arcee. Granted, her figure is not series accurate... But the packaging is one of my favorites in my collection. But even then, saying all of this has me wonder about the following:

1) What is Red Energon?
2) Will Starscream find that one piece of Airachnid?
3) Why have I not noticed the words "BAD WOLF" on the TARDIS before?
4) If Jackie is the new teammate, does this mean we will see another teammate join in season 3?
5) Are the Rescue Bots this continuity's answer to Headmasters Jr.?
6) Will Silas be the very first Headmaster?
7) Who is this superhero? (Sarge? No... Rosemary, the telephone operator? No... Henry, the mild-manner janitor that sounds like Jazz? "Could be.")
Will Skyfire ever join the cast?
9) Will Megatron ever become Galvatron?
10) What does Takara Tomy have in mind with the series, since they seem to be going their own direction with PRIME.

..... Hmmm...

Well, Hasbro confirmed they're not using the Takara AM mold because it's too expensive to get the AM ports removed and mass-produce. I doubt we'll see that Breakdown mold here. They'll come up with their own mold, and it will be utter crap, and I will praise that day I ordered AM-12 Breakdown.

It's Hasbro. And with Hasbro, I am surprise they were not the company that made the "Tony Tony Chopper" themed toilet paper I had spotted at the Toys"R"Us in Ikebukuro.

And best of luck getting him. I personally feel that the figure looks as nice as the packaging. Plus, his Arms Micron kinda fits who he is.

Thanks, but I already have Breakdown. I got him a month ago. He's been sitting on my con shelf (I separate my Prime figs by faction. Not enough space for both on one shelf) with Knock Out, Screamer, Soundwave, and Megs, yet no Airachnid to get revenge on

Let's see.

1) Time will tell.
2) Why must he? Is that piece really all that important?
3) Huh?
4) That would be nice.
5) Probably a coincidence, but I do see a resemblance function-wise.
6) I'm guessing he'll be something like G1 Spike was with Autobot X.
7) Say what?
8 ) Dunno.
9) Dunno.
10) Probably something like what they've done with their dubs of Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and Animated. Same story with a comedic tone.

1) Yup. I am still wondering if it will have a hate plague-like effect.

2) Because Starscream wants to lead the Decepticons. Which means Megatron needs to be eliminated. Which means he will need an army. And if he clones Airachnid, he will have a second-in-command that will both not betray him and control the Insecticons. Which could mean, if he is successful, Megatron is eliminated and he will be the new Decepticon leader.

3)Joke. "Bad Wolf" is a Doctor Who term for the end of the world. Plus, the (ninth) Doctor from that season later became Destro in the first G.I.Joe movie.

4) Agreed. However, I would have preferred Jetfire joining first so IDW could focus on a Wheeljack comic series that happens during that portion of the series.

5) Agreed. I now have to ask them if this was the case, even though they also add a "Silverbolt" to the team.

6) I am wondering if it will be like Autobot X (but prettier) or Daniel and Arcee in "The Rebirth."

7) Another joke. However, Scatman Crothers (the musician/actor/voice actor) was both Jazz in the original G1 series and Hong Kong Phooey.

10) I was thinking more like how they took Beast Wars, and made it bigger. With manga series, two anime sequels, and more. Because every time I think about their version of the series, I see them fill in the gaps with their version.

Once again the AT&T U-verse program guide provides us with an extended Transformers Prime episode description. Check out the slightly more in-depth synopsis for "New Recruit", which is scheduled to air on September 7th.

Optimus Prime and Megatron once again face each other in an epic battle for control over the Earth; the Autobots and Decepticons come across some clues that could have the potential to change the war and perhaps restore Cybertron.

Sounds way different than the Zap2it description.

Booooorrrinnnnnggggg. C'mon I want to know who the new Autobot is!!!!!!!!!

buried metroplex?

njb902 wrote:buried metroplex?

it would be cool
maybe its the red energon and its primus's blood?

Im guessing wheeljack passes since theres a new autobot

njb902 wrote:buried metroplex?

Since when has Hasbro been that kind to us?

njb902 wrote:buried metroplex?

THAT.... would be insane!! His smashy-smashy moment with Megs in Fall of Cybertron literally made me freak the heck out

Within the scope of the show, i think it'll be cliffjumper, or maybe jazz, Ironhide, or Magnus. As far as wishful thinking goes, minus Ironhide i'd actually like one of the Aerialbots to appear. It'd be good to have some Autobot air superiority
