The Energon Pub

I bet Starscream raided whatever government facility Nemesis Prime's is being stored/studied at and stole his T-COG back.

don't forget there is a seemingly unending supply of easily destroyed vehicons......spare parts anyone?

I really doubt it. Ratchet implied stealing t-cogs is something even Megatron wouldn't resort to. Megatron turned Cybertron into an uninhabitable wasteland just to he could force the entire planet to bend to his will, so that speaks volumes for his standards.

megatron might not(have my doubts on that), however starscream is a cowardly scum bucket who will do anything to survive. if he was that squeamish why would he have helped mech? he knew what they were doing with bumblebee's t cog and what ever parts of breakdown they had kept. also if you have read the books it casts doubt on ratchets claims. megatron had no problem with his troops being experimented on so what would he care about a stolen t cog, he might not personally use it but if it would grant him an advantage I have no doubt he would jump on it. for (appropriate deity here) sake he is willing to raise the dead and enthrall himself to the ultimate evil In the universe.

I really hope this doesn't happen:
"I have useful information regarding Airachnid's were-abouts. Bring medical kit."

Anyway, he could have gotten it from a dead insecticon, leading to biological complications down the road?

With all the dead armybuilders you'd think MECH would've found a T-Cog there.

Depends on how throughly the Autobots/Decepticons/government "scrubs" a battlefield.

[Lord Manhammer '74]

^Good point. However, as we saw in "Crossfire", MECH only seemed to be a few minutes behind the Autobots and Decepticons when they came upon Breakdown's remains. The group had been on the look out for energon readings, and seemed right on top of things when they snagged the derezed Decep. And for all we know, Nemesis Prime was only the Beta Version of Project Chimera. The oil refinery could be only used as a proving ground for MECH's project. Meanwhile, MECH could be building more automatons somewhere else useing the nondescript Vehicons parts culled from various combat zones.

I think project Chimera is what they are doing to Silas currently, but only time will tell.

Maybe. Or it was just a fortunate coincidence for MECH that they found Breakdown's remains. Who knows.

Or an extension of it. As Manhammer stated, Nemesis Prime could have been Chimera 1.0. We just don't know enough about MECH's agenda and plans to know.

isn't it obvious.......they plan on building the ultimate in disco dancing capable automatons. everybody was kung foo fighting waaaaaaaa.

@njb902
NO!

[SlyTF1]

Anyone else think it would have been better if Silas was hooked up to Nemesis Prime instead? I think that would be badass.

it is still possible. just because they showed breakdowns remains dosnt mean it has to be him as the body.

Kinda hard if the US military has the remains of Nemesis Prime. Even if MECH has agents infiltrating branches of the government.

it dose not have to be that one. if they built one I'm sure they can or have started to build more of that model. I know if I was going to stick a human brain(uploaded form or actual biological matter) in a frame id pick prime over breakdown.

[BeastProwl]

I GOT IT!
Their going to "Upgrade" Breakdown into the upcoming repaint were getting, Swerve. That would explain a hell of alot.

Swerve's an Autobot.

Oh. Well poop. Maybe they'll do a "Hey, I'm swerve! I'm Breakdown's twin brother, an ex wrecker, and a good guy to boot! I don't like my bro!"
Hasbro-"Cancel breakdown! We need a swerve toy now instead!"

[SlyTF1]

SEAKERS!!! It's just like Animated all over again!

[crazyjeffy]

Hrmm.. Started in the middle. Now the teaser makes sense.

Clones... ehh. To make toys for repaints , I guess. Still hope Screamer gets his T-Cog by the end of the episode.

And it looks like prayers answered.

Pretty good episode. Definitely full of twists I didn't expect, even with the teasers and the commercial and the upcoming episode titles.

[SlyTF1]

Well, this episode wasn't as amazing as I expected... the clones where pointless and I expected the Insecticon invasion to actually be...an invasion. It was only like 10 seconds of footage...

[Pontimax 01]

Once again it's all Arcee's fault. If she'd be a team player for once and have stayed with Prime and Bee then the insecticons would have finished Megatron for them. But no, they have to push her vengeful nature once again to remind us she's some kind of bad ass or something.

Bulkhead single handily takes down the Nemesis. Hilarious, what with Megatron screaming out "now what?" as it loses power.

I am guessing that Screamer takes the t-cog out of his clone he waxed at the end. Friggin funny as hell when he blasts him and screams Oh Scrap that hurt. lol

[BeastProwl]

So yeah, not as amazing as they made it look in the promo, but it was really great to watch! Fun, and full of twists. Seriously though, those insecticons were alot weaker than was to be anticipated.
Still no Wheeljack
I was hoping the clones would survive, I guess not.
Airachnid is likely to return in a later episode though. She's not actually dead afterall. I bet that they will be forced to wake her up to answer some question or mystery only she would know the answer to.

[Slashercon]

Great episode. Many things I didn't expect. Funny how people thought Bulkhead would come to his senses before he killed "Starscream". Goes to show that if that was the real Starscream,he'd be DEAD!! Hope he got his T-cog back from the final clone. Now Megatron has his own armada of insecticons...that's not good. At least Airachnid is captured now. And the nemesis is grounded(for now maybe). Yup, great episode. Lack of Dreadwing, Knockout, and Soundwave is sad.

[crazyjeffy]

Anyone wanna say anything on how much weaker these insecticons were?

I guess the scout is a superduper strong one.>.>

Uh yeah, sadly they seemed weaker, but remember, that was hand to hand combat last time. This was a fire fight for the most part.
