The 'cons also have the Forge of Solus Prime. Let's not forget that.

And what've they done with that? Create an over-powered weapon, that's all.

If he has more Dark Energon, which I'm pretty sure he does, he could make one for every [named] Decepticon!

No. I don't want Dark Energon to become the new Bumblebee be more overpowered than it apparently already is.
They were going to used the Spark Extractor in "Flying Mind" until the living warship nixed that plan.phase wrote:I dunno. "Alpha/Omega" was epic, but I feel like the Star Saber's time was cut short, and that Megatron forged the Dark Saber too quickly. I mean, at least in Armada they actually used the Mini-Con weapons for several episodes, i.e. how Hot Shot owned the Cons with the Star Saber, but getting beaten by Scavenger and betrayed by Sideways hit him hard.

I believe he's referring to the unchanged status quo. The Cons lost a few of their main characters,
but the Bots lost one.
It's griftimus prime, guys. He hates everything.ARCTrooperAlpha wrote:PrymeStriker wrote:griftimus prime wrote:no one will die in this episode

That is ridiculous
He was promoted as one, at least.PrymeStriker wrote:Cliffjumper? You're joking right? He's not a main character.

Uhhhhh, Breakdown is the only semi-main character that's dead. Airachnid is in stasis, hoping to make a return for Beast Hunters, and Starscream might join the 'cons again in S2E24.but the Bots lost one.
Cliffjumper? You're joking right? He's not a main character. All main Autobots are accounted for.
Also, while we're at it, Tailgate and Seaspray are dead too.

Oh for god's sake, look at the bigger picture !!! The Decepticon management team is shrinking, Autobots not so much.
Tailgate and Seaspray don't count in my argument cause they're "passing by" characters. And since cliffjumper gets mentioned so many times, I assumed he was a main character.

But...we're talking about character deaths, and every death except for Breakdown's was a minor character.Tailgate and Seaspray don't count in my argument cause they're "passing by" characters. And since cliffjumper gets mentioned so many times, I assumed he was a main character.
What defines a main character is it's importance and contribution to the overall plot. Cliffjumper is only mentioned when Arcee has her [annoying] revenge arc, and a few rare times after that. We can't really count a character that's been dead since Episode 1 a main character, no matter how many times he appears in flashbacks. If we wanted to consider Cliffjumper a main character because of that, we might as well include Tailgate.
Drama. He died, so them mentioning him over and over is meant to make the story feel more dramatic.ARCTrooperAlpha wrote:Why DO the writers keep mentioning Cliffjumper anyway ? Is it just for Hasbro to keep selling his toys ?

Your mileage may vary, though.
