I'm just not very impressed with this show anymore. Why did he make a metal on metal screeching noise when he slide through the dirt?

Because it's rock, not dirt. Basically a rock shelf.

They need to shore up the animation. Everything seems clunky.

If you say so. I'm inclined to disagree. If it seems choppy, it's because there's a lot of going on and a lot of jump cuts from one bit of action to the next.

How do none of the Autobots know this bot, but he happened to just find them on Earth on his own and by himself?

Did you somehow miss the "All Autobots, come to Earth and join my band of merry misfits!" message they intentionally reminded us of in "Out of the Past" already?

I can easily see a repaint and new head mold for Prowl. Hell, his head now looks like Prowl as is.

If this show plays its cards right, I just might have a new favorite Autobot.

If Smokie tops Jackie then I too shall have a new favorite Autobot.

To be honest, Jackie still hasn't really wowed me yet as much as I'd hoped he would have by now. In all episodes he starred in, another character outperformed him, IMO:

• "Con Job" - Makeshift was a cooler Jackie than the real Jackie.
• "Loose Cannons" - Dreadwing made that episode.
• "Triage" - Ratchet. 'Nuff said.
• "Hurt" - Miko's thirst for revenge only to learn how hollow it was in the end was more impactful to me.

I still have hopes that Wheeljack himself will shine on in later episodes, but for now, it felt more to me like he played second-fiddle to these guys.

No, not Ratchet, he NEEDS things! Like a body! Arcee, I like, but I could also live without. Though I feel the dynamic would suffer without her, since she's the usually-level-headed-subordinate...when she's not pissed off and run-and-gunning.

I just love Wheeljack's character, not any "battle action" that he does (which he's done plenty of ass-kicking. He just hasn't killed anyone important yet ). If Smokescreen ends up being as annoying as Miko used to be, Wheeljack stays #1 (but top Ratchet as #2. You can't pass up that badass look Smokie's got).

But we never know, Wheeljack could be the next member of the Autobots to die. He's gotten pretty beat up by Dreadwing, Soundwave, and Hardshell. Don't know if he has much left in him.

the autobots actually need ratchet though.
