Is it just me that thinks the Omega Lock appears to be riffing on the Key to Vector Sigma with the whole 'changing Earth to its new Technological Matrix and destroying indigenous life' thing?

I'm so very relieved to see the Steves are still alive. I was concerned the Spark Extractor got them all and we'd lose the lovably tragic minions in Season 3.

Yet, Megatron asked for reinforcements after those events, and we saw some Vehicons hanging around Starscream right after he does.

Key to Vector Sigma, anyone?

Look, I'm not all that fond of Miko either, but I don't bash her for the sake of bashing her, which is what this very much feels like.

I'm not bashing her just for the hell of it. I hate it when any character does this. I understand why it's done, from a writer's viewpoint, but it always makes me feel like the character is asking a stupid question (scared or not).

Which is something you would expect a frightened child to do

I still hate it, you can't change that.

Her question was perfectly valid as it provided the necessary exposition to the audience. Any one of the kids could have asked it any would have gotten the same effect.

If I were in one of those canisters, I would have asked the same question. Though I might have rephrased it a bit (like, "If the Omega Lock is used on Earth, what's gonna happen to it?" or something), but I'd darn well want to know what that madman was going to do to my homeworld. Especially if he went to such trouble to hunt me down, capture me, bring me to another world, and threaten to kill me as part of a ransom. I would be scared and fearful for myself and for my home.

It also bears a striking resemblance to Project: Genesis from the Star Trek movies, only a Cybertronian equivalent that uses mechanical life instead of organic life.

Key to Vector Sigma, anyone?

It certainly seems to have the same effects as the G1 Key to Vector Sigma.

And the Genesis Project from the Star Trek movies.

"...in favour of its new matrix" a quote directly from Star Trek II. Definitely an homage to the the effecs of the genesis device. Perhaps we'll see some rebirth as we did with Spock as result. Maybe not.

Gee...the Autobots are cornered. Didn't see that one coming.


Nonetheless, the last time I was excited about a season finale at all was Season 3 of Animated.

The last time I was excited about a season finale was the last season finale we got for a TF cartoon.
