The episode is scheduled to air on March 17th, 2012.

Ratchet confronts demons from his Cybertronian past

Lockdown, anyone?

Well, Lockdown's sure what it sounds like. Probably will have to do with Dreadwing, though. I just have a strange feeling Ratchet might have experimented on Dreadwing or something.

Could be his failure to ever completely fix up Bumblebee (presuming he was the one that repaired him after whatever happened)

Come on, guys. Lockdown? Don't you think that would be too much of ripoff of Animated? What this show needs is more originality, not to keep repeating what previous series have already done.

I like this. His being unable to fix Bumblebee's voice would have probably hit him pretty hard, what with him being a field medic and unable to heal his friend's wounds. Such would add an extra layer to their relationship and would make for great characterization and drama.

Something I wish they would do, but most likely probably won't do, is use the WFC/FOC character designs for the flashbacks in these two episodes.

Though, here's something to think about. We may finally get to see what the AllSpark looks like in these two episodes.

...and then there's a hiatus.

Somehow I'm more excited about this rather than Orion Pax -arc. Glad to see that Bumblebee and Ratchet are getting some spotlight, and hopefully it won't stop here. What I really hope is that Bumblebee regains his voice, at least to a certain extent. I would be fine with the way he talked in Exiles, though I'm pretty sure it's either on or off, not in the between. That is, if he even is alive after these episodes. What a shock that would be.

I don't think Hasbro would let them kill off their BB moneymaker.
