Zap2it have updated their Transformers Prime program guide with the title of the November 2nd episode, "Darkest Hour". Unfortunately the episode synopsis has not been released.

*sigh* they really need to stop using that phrase

They really need to stop (over-)quoting Transformers: The Movie, period.

"Darkest Hour"
"Soundwave Superior"
"This is bad comedy"
"Such heroic nonsense"
"Why throw away your life so recklessly?"
"I still function"

And the most nerve-racking offender of them all:

"One shall stand, one shall fall"


But, surprisingly, "Till all are one" hasn't been nearly as run into the ground as much as the above.

"Such heroic nonsense"
"Why throw away your life so recklessly?"

Where were these quoted from? I don't remember these being mentioned in the show or the games.

I think I remember Megatron saying "Such heroic nonsense" during Optimus and Megatron's fight on the Space Bridge in Darkness Rising. Might be wrong, though.

I have no problem with the Transformers Movie quotes. Don't see a big deal. The only one I'm sick of is "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall."

That's about it.

i'm not talking solely about Transformers: Prime doing this. i'm talking about the post-Movie media in general.

Look at Fall of Cybertron, for example. About 30% of its dialogue is lifted almsot word for word directly from the movie, and they even rip off Starscream's coronation scene almost exactly, right down to the crown Screamer was wearing. Only real differences being Megatron fighting a bunch of Screamer-allied Cons and not killing him in the end.

never gets used

No, but the fandom sure uses it a lot.

HOW DARE THEY USE STUFF FROM THE 1986 MOVIE! Seriously, this is why I kind of hate reading comments on Seibertron. Seibertron's news staff is great (one of the best imo), don't get me wrong, but when I scroll down to the comments I read insightful comments like 'They should stop quoting the 1986 movie, and my ShOuLdEr's HuRt because of it'. Ridiculous, I remember when I would of jumped out of my seat if I heard "Light our 'darkest hour'". How dare they use 'darkest hour' to describe probably what will be the Autobot's darkest hour. Are they going to off Optimus? WHO KNOWS? I mean, this time around Hot Rod won't do it for sure, maybe it will be Smokescreen instead.

I mean I guess we could take quotes from the Bay movies with such gems like:

"AHHHHHHHHH" Shia Lebouf screaming as per normal (This was a Rifftrax parody)

How about Bumblebee peeing on people. That would just be great to homage.

How about Devastator having two wrecking test...'balls'.

One wonders why the live action movies are not homaged more and why the G1 movie is and always be a jewel of Transformers-dom.

I am fine with 1986 homages. Those who are not fine with them are a very small vocal minority who thinks they are the majority. If what you all are saying is true, then Fall of Cybertron should not of sold very well. It sold very well because it hit all the right notes when it came to referencing the movie.
