"What would Megatron want that Silas has?"

"What could Soundwave be hacking into?"

Two words, guys: "Project Damocles".

This episode is going to be awesome I can't wait to watch it!

This is true. In one of the trailers for this episode you see lasers being fired at autobots from directly above them.

What is Project Damocles exactly?

Try this thing called google.

It was first mentioned in "Grill" when we found out Silas' real name which was Leland Bishop and that he use to be a Colonel of the US special tactics branch. You see back when Silas was in the military he was the creator of Project Damocles which was meant to create a network of satellites in orbit around Earth, which would be able to target any location on the planet with lasers. The project was mothballed and the reason Silas was discharged.

Well gee, not everyone here knows what Project Damocles is. It wouldn't hurt to explain it to him. Telling him to google it is just rude.

I commend you, sir.

So I am not understanding the marketing strategy here,

how are you expecting to sell toys when you kill off the character?

okay- maybe in the takara-verse, kids want all these one shot characters, but why should I want a skyquake, nemesis prime, or Sylas after these episodes. maybe if I want to reenact episodes---Damn, still missing 98 vehicons.........

is this the show up and blow up Pheonomonon?

You know, this is why I think Simon Furman used to 'create' bots and cons for the british comic-- so you could kill them off without endangering the toy marketing? Sorry Simon, no offence meant, but look at Fang(target 2006), Chameleon and Seizer (city of fear?).

But if he (and Bob Budiansky, for that matter) hadn't, we wouldn't have later gotten the awesome that is Squadron X.

Haha I was just messing with him (No offense Hellstriker). But I had to google it to find out what it was.

If you havn't watched the episode yet don't read the spoiler text below!

Was I the only one that was disappointed the thing between Megs and Silas didn't work out? I thought it was gonna be cool. But they will dissect him unless he escapes. If he doesn't escape maybe this is how the beast hunters thing comes about. Similar to the thing Megs did in Beast Wars by controlling the velociraptors with transformers technology and upgrading them.
