Now... Now... Does she look like a Cliffjumper or even a Breakdown to you?

The writers have stated that no one is safe from death in this show. You don't know who's going to die next. By the end of Season 3 the only original Autobot left could be Optimus for all we know.

Yeah... And that is writer's lingo for "We can kill off any character we want, just not the ones that Hasbro want to keep alive for marketing reasons."

It's kind of like NCIS, which disposed of two major characters before replacing them with others, disposing of a recurring character, and might be removing another main character (which is highly unlikely). So when it comes to this series, they will only dispose of characters tied to voice actors that do not (or are not allowed to) renew their contracts, much less willing to do such as said character.

And besides... Arcee was the one who had technically gotten revenge for Break Down. So you should be grateful for that.

I personally do not care which Autobots or Decepticons die, but it's how they die that matters. The fact that Breakdown was killed by Airachnid is the reason I wish he'd come back, aside from the part where he's my favorite character. Airachnid is as annoying as Miko was to me, and therefore did not deserve to die by the hands "of that retch."

Besides, not every character in the toyline's a big seller. They'd kill a character just like that once it doesn't sell. I have high doubts Arcee will be infected with Bumblebee cancer.

I am mixed on this myself. Because the true potential of a blade is not based on its size, but rather what it is capable of doing. However... I would have assumed that it was a broad sword-sized blade, based on the images I had seen tied to it.

I agree, but, I still think it would make sense for the sword to be proportionally to scale with Prima since all of the Thirteen are supposed to be really big guys. and if the size of Solus Prime's Forge was any indication, the Star Saber should be huge (while this sword here looks more like a regularly sized sword)

Agreed.

it may be capable of "transforming" to accommodate its user.

i think this will be a prime history episode telling the story of the primes and origins of the fallen and maybe hopefuly a raf episode when he go all ape crap tell the team how he feal being left off missions

For some reason, this reminds me of not only those old (I think it was) 7-11 commercials where they show a big guy with a small cup, saying "This is supposed to be a large?"... But also see you and two other Seibertron.com members standing over this weapon and you saying "Where's the blade?"

But yeah. When it comes to the difference between mythology in any period of time, region of space, etc. and this - I 100% agree with you. Because in many instances, not may would like to find out that the story of Hercules was actually about a 13 year old demigoddess with a Shizuo Heiwajima (DURARARA!!) complex.

However... I am hoping that they make it as great as it is meant to be. And if it turns out to be a mere short sword, I am going to be hoping that it has a "Sword of Omens" (Thundercats) attribute that allows it to grow in size when needed (and not simply grasped, like Inuyasha's blade).

I really like this explanation! Because it really fits what was said with at least one other item mentioned in the series.

Like said, Jack is probably showing the new bot around, I doubt it will it be permanent unless something happened to Arcee. And with the weapon, it could be the StarSaber. It can fit really well considering all the relics in the story right now.

Looking at the list of upcoming Arms Microns toys, it looks like it with be Smokescreen. Which could result in Jack saying that it is a loaner because his bike is in the shop.

Also... The Star Saber is a possible item, as it requires a Matrix piece! And who knows? Also, maybe there is more than one Matrix and Megatron obtained it?

Isn't the "anti-Matrix" called the Heart of Darkness? Or is that only in the IDW continuity?
