Just watched it. Starscream is still alive! I was pretty sure he was dead. But then, I was pretty sure Lugnut was dead, too.

But doesn't this mean that the Decepticon's entire starting line-up is still active? Megatron (Technically), Starscream, Blitzwing, Lugnut, and Blackarachnia.

Man, this series just keeps getting better and better.

And don't forget that they also have Lockdown, and Soundwave...more or less.

And Shockwave is supposed to show up. And Corey Burton is supposed to voice him, much like Susan Blu and Arcee, John Moschitta and Blurr.

It's like whoever is directing this series, has been reading all of our drunken ramblings...

The BM's writter is writting this show? No wonder why its taking so long for the Decepticons to emerge..... BM's took forever to explain what happened.

i thought it was good. Blitzwing is good.I like his three faces and it was so funny when he was choosing a form to transform into.But his fiend face should have a form too.

But Lugnut is plain stupid and annoying.

I mean, even Megatron was annoyed by him.

how could any creature be so thick?

There is too much dismantlment in this series. Either blow them up or hurt them but do they have to take them to pieces?Its sick.

The part where The Allspark showed Sari the form Megatron would have was scary though.

Starscream is really going to hurt Lugnut. I hope he does cos he is a extremely stupid loon and wouldnt turn from Megatron.
And i hate Lugnut.No one i hate on this show till now.

Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:08 pm

I loved it.
I think the ending was okay, there have been sillier ones in G1 and Rid or Beast Wars. So I'm okay with the ending it was funny. I love Blitzwing's voice but I think the actor still needs to work on his German accent. Not ridiculous enough. It sounds fake. But I still love his third face.
And I think there will be more episodes like this now that we've gotten most of the decepticons. We just need Megatron and I think the Constructicons are coming soom(I remember reading about how Bulkhead becomes their friend, is it just me or is this just like in G1 where Omega is friends with the Constructicons?)

Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:11 pm

Oh and even though I hated Lugnut at first, he is growing on me. I like his voice and how much of a suck-up he is to Megatron. Plus that punch is awesome.
I love the part where he raises his fist to the sky and there was dramatic music, and then Megatron called him an idiot or something.

Beast Machines? Where Primal was a hippie, Cheetor became an asshole, some weird looking bat thing, and Megatron was a floating head? I am astounded.

Still, I think this is like they're apologizing for the Unicron Trilogy. Massive crap, and now massive awesome? What's up your sleeve, Hasbro?

Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:16 pm

Is Shockwave still in the show?
Cause we already have a strong, one-eyed, Megatron suck-up. Can we possibly have two?
Cus I want to see Shockwave!

News Credits: 1 · Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:43 pm

I don't think shockwave's in it.

The weired looking Bat thing was Mikel Jackson, I think!

Yes it is, he even said he learned the hard way what the fanbase of TF is like, at first he did not want to be part of it but got persuaded by the designs.

Oh and for Shckwave bing in it, I think that's Lugnutz.

Sun Mar 02, 2008 3:05 pm

am I the ONLY person who realized that Lugnut said "...Slag..." before the pair was blasted into oblivion by the ship's cannon?!

so it seems that the rumors were true, Dinobot "Snarl" got his name changed due to the term "Slag" as a cybertronian expletive!!! hahaha, thats hilarious :-p

No, we all heard it, and someone even mentioned it on the first page.

As for the voices, don't forget Lemar Burton as Jazz and Weird Al as Wreck-Gar.

I never noticed the first time Megatron saying, "Oh for sparks sake". And it really shows Lugnut's loyalty to listen to Megatron after being called an idiot.

i scanned the page up and down, even did a "find on this page" search, and nowhere was "slag" mentioned that i saw, otherwise i wouldn't have brought it up. Why you gotta be such a downer, man? geez

It was the second page actually.

Moving on ....

Didn't think I was being a downer.

[quote"=UltraPrimal"]Though Lugnut had a good line just before he got blown up Waspinator-style. "Slag"

Phil LeMarr. The best thing from MadTV, ever.

Yes he is. Corey Burton, who already does the voice of Megatron, is going to do Shockwave as well.

Do you mean Lugnut is supposed to be Shockwave? Because that's not the case. Their personalities are vastly different, and they're not even voiced by the same guy.

The key is warning her, yet she doe snot understand...Anyway, Blitzwing is awesome! :twisted:

News Credits: 32 · Mon Mar 03, 2008 1:00 pm

Shockwave will probably be like his comic counterpart, not like he is in the cartoon. 1 ass-kisser is enough. And having 2 of them competing for Megatrons affection would be kind of lame. But then again, does Megatron really need more competition? He's already got the Autobots and Starscream to worry about. I wonder what he'll look like and transform into.

Mon Mar 03, 2008 2:40 pm

The name of the Episode said it all for me.

My interest in TF: Animated had been lost... then FOUND last Saturday!

Blitzwing was as cool as ever. I actually don't mind his three faces, they are all cute, and I like his changes in personality that go with them. Bonus: Blitz kicks butt too!

Lugnutz I wasn't sure I'd like but he got me with one line:
"I will stand proudly and shout Megatron's name to the heavens!"

The Megs fan girl in me was like, "Me too! Me too!"

But... Since I'm also, and somewhat ironically, a Super Starscream fan girl, I just about pooped my pants at the end of the episode.

The best part? My "Gen 1 purist" husband watched it with me and decided to start watching with me.

The big question I have:
When are we going to see the toy for Blitzwing?

Not soon enough, that's for sure. I must have Animated Blitzwing.

Mon Mar 03, 2008 4:20 pm

Since last episode was all nods, I would definately like to see Blitzwing turn to Starscream's side. (like in IDW)

If you think about it, he was pretty loyal to Screamer in the IDW story. Skywarp tried to explain things to Megs when he suprised the two by coming out of the rubble pile, but Blitz just opened fire. (Well, and then got pwnd.)

As long as I'm thinking down that line, I hearby nominate Astrotrain as the next 'con I want to see in animated.

It'd probably be demeaning to Shockwave, but I could see something like that happening. Shockwave and Lugnut getting into confrontations just to give Megatron some good news, or to complete a mission for him. It makes sense.

Otherwise, I'd actually like to see him as the only Decepticon Megatron shows any sign of respect too, because he's the only one who doesn't constantly screw up and/or try to kill him. (Effectively alienating every Decepticon other Decepticon so far) And the kind of badass who, if he had a face (Which he damn well better not), would only raise an eyebrow to any threat charging at him, before utterly annihilating said threat in one fell swoop.
