Well, I was already excited about the character even before hearing about the Rock voicing him.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Thinking about it, was Cliffjumper all that popular before TF: Prime came out?Shadowman wrote:It's the Joss Whedon method. Make someone popular, then kill them off to prove a point.
I mean, Animated Cliffjumper was mostly fanwank, Energon Cliffjumper was a nobody in name only, Armada Cliffjumper was toy-only, Movie Cliffjumper had some comic activity (but not much), G1 Cliffjumper... well, maybe IDW and Fun Pub did use him to a decent extent in their fictions back then, so I guess that could count somewhat.
No, come to think of it, previous incarnations of the character weren't all that big a deal. But with TF Prime, the announcement of the freaking Rock voicing him and some other stuff, they made people excited for him. And then they killed him just to say "We're not screwing around this time."

Oh no you don't, Sabrblade! No more of this accursed Autobot propaganda!
By which I of course mean, please, carry on your service for the transfans.

Here are the episode 56 Autobits, as promised.
* "Uncle Sam" got his name in the 1900s as an alternative to the initials for "United States".
* The fortress has also recently been sprayed for termites. -- [a reaction to Ratchet's saying that the fortress is heavly shielded against unauthorized GroundBridges.]
* If you're looking for a "Gangnam Style" joke here, forget it. That's so 2012. -- [Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus both mentioned of "Wrecker-style"]
* It's been estimated that three-quarters of the world's population have access to a cell phone.
* This is the first and last time that Ratchet will let Miko use the GroundBridge for getting dinner.
* Soundwave has had more than one fortune cookie come true -- [Soundwave was suspicious of the chance that two Autobot-allied humans in two distinct locations would use their phones at nearly the same time, while Starscream just brushed it off as merely a little good fortune]
* Though he was going to say "Roll out!" didn't you? -- [Ultra Magnus: "Autobots, lock and load!"]
* Locked and loaded.
* What did you do now? -- [When the Insecticons arrived at the mine that was supposedly under attack (but wasn't), two miners looked at each other in confusion upon the bugs' arrival, with this line jokingly making it look like one accused the other of having done something wrong (again).]
* How is "Renegade Autobot Mischief" not already a band name? -- [When Megs asked why his forces were being scattered, Starscream answered "Renegade Autobot mischief, Lord Megatron."]
* Shockwave's face also gets over 300 cable channels -- [SOUNDWAVE (not Shockwave) pulled up an image of the Harbinger on his face visor's viewscreen]
* There was actually a series called Transformers: Armada in 2002. -- [Starscream called for his Seeker armada of Jet Vehicon Generals to the flight deck.]
* Dark Mount's original name was "Megatron's Super Awesome Party Palace".
* Wheeljack would make a great baseball player with that knuckleball. Strike three! You're out! -- [Jackie threw another grenade, and done blew up real good]
* Because it worked so well last time... -- [Starscream: "I assure you, master, I have everything under control and--"]
* Oh scrap. -- [Predaking showed up]
* Even the Predacon insignia is frightening.
* Although Transformers can survive sub-zero space, moisture with cold causes icing and reduction in core temperature. Optimus and Arcee were nearly frozen solid back in season one.
* Parkour! -- [referring to the way Shockwave jumped down Darkmount from ledge to ledge]
* Alpha Trion was Optimus' mentor back on Cybertron. He is one of the Original Thirteen Primes.
* Alpha Trion's voice is provided by George Takei, Star Trek's original Mr. Sulu.
* A stealth team is usually skilled at entering an area silently to avoid detection. As opposed to what's happening right now. -- [Arcee and Bumblebee were acting as a stealth team, and were under fire from some Vehicons]
* This is the first time Megatron faces off against Ultra Magnus in this series.
* This is Shockwave's Cybertronian Vehicle Mode. Like Megatron, he does not have an Earth Vehicle Mode.
* Do you think Arcee took tumbling classes when she was just a little tricycle? -- [Arcee tumbled to dodge some laser fire]
* The head butt really is the most painful of the butts. -- [Megatron headbutted Magnus]
* There is no accurate historical record of the actual name of Paul Revere's horse. -- [Fowler: "What in the name of Paul Revere's horse is taking them so long?"]
* That almost rhymed! Starscream is a poet and doesn't even know it.-- ["There was no sign of Optimus Prime."]
* "Join with the Allspark" is another way of saying "Meet your Maker". So dying, basically.
* The Matrix of Leadership can glow like this when it's about to choose a new Prime.
* Ultra Magnus is the second Autobot to be held prisoner in Darkmount in under a week. Wheeljack was the first.
* This is how the Autobots Raise the Roof -- [The held-at-gunpoint Bumblebee and Arcee had their hands raised over their heads]
* The power of the Forge + Optimus Prime = Optimus 2.0.
* It's. So. On.
* They just don't make thrones like they used to. -- [Megs' throne smashed when Prime Falcon Punched him into it.]
* Over the course of many Transformers series, Optimus has made a habit of periodically "upgrading" to new tech. At one point his Flight Mode was a result of combining with the Autobot Jetfire.
* Quite well? That's an understatement. -- [Magnus: "I repeat, Prime is alive, and quite well."]
* That's got to sting a little bit. -- [Optimus threw Megatron into the Fusion Cannon power core]
* Fowler's jet is based on the Harrier Jump Jet, which has the ability to hover and take off vertically.
* Megatron's definitely not getting his security deposit back now. -- [Fowler's Sky Strikers made Darkmount go bye bye]
* Kind of makes London Bridge falling down look wimpy... huh?
* "Team Prime" was first coined by Bulkhead in Episode 102 -- [that would be "Season 1, Episode 2", rather than "Episode One Hundred and Two".]
* The Forge was their best chance of restoring the Omega Lock and bringing life back to Cybertron.
* ...And the Earth couldn't hope for a better team to protect them from the chaos that awaits.
As a bonus, there was a commercial during one of the breaks about Predaking that said, "A wingspan of two football fields, breath hotter than the planet Mercury, eats Autobots for breakfast, enter the Predaking, the ultimate Autobot hunter, only on Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters. Returns next Friday at 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Pacific. It could happen, only on the Hub."
Also, in the preview for next week's new episode, Bulkhead says, "We could have beast wars on our hands."

They were onscreen during the rebroadcasts of the episodes the last four Fridays. It's a clever way to space out the episodes so the half-length season isn't over by June.

Nope.
* How is "Renegade Autobot Mischief" not already a band name?
Copyright?
* Shockwave's face also gets over 300 cable channels
That awkward moment when...
Hasbro can't remember the names to some of their most popular characters
* There was actually a series called Transformers: Armada in 2002.
Autobits: Educating today's youth of the Transformers of the past
* Dark Mount's original name was "Megatron's Super Awesome Party Palace".
Actually, it was "Fortress of New Kaon." And, now Darkmount is two words?
* Because it worked so well last time... -- [Starscream: "I assure you, master, I have everything under control and--"]

At stealth: Smokescreen > Bumblebee & Arcee combined
* Ultra Magnus is the second Autobot to be held prisoner in Darkmount in under a week. Wheeljack was the first.
So, Dark Mount was just another typo? I'm so confused.
At one point his Flight Mode was a result of combining with the Autobot Jetfire.
At one point? Quite a few times.

I'm not the one who let it go over my head...
How stupid do you think I am?
It didn't, bro. I expressed my "anger" of the sudden name change in the fortress between seasons two and three.

The former, as if it would derail the thread any further.

Wrong word. I meant "point," not "joke" (I'm half awake right now). It was more of anger at the name change between seasons two and three, per my recent edit.
I thought you were supposed to laugh at jokes that are funny. The definition must have changed.

ANYWAY, I haven't been able to do the latest Vortexx edit count/comparison yet. I hope to have time to work on it and get it posted tomorrow.

Not impressed with the season so far. Sure, it's great to have new episodes again, but I'll be recapping on season one until then (which seems to be the best season to date).

During my edit comparisons, I've been recapping season 1 and it sucks.PrymeStriker wrote:Hypershock wrote:so, ummmmmm...........we're excited for Prime, guys, right?

At least season 2 had focus (the hunt for the Iacon Relics and Project: Chimera's development). Season 1 just feels random and lax on direction.

Agreed I was not pleased with season 1, but i really enjoyed season 2 especially the 2nd half with the Star Sabers and Omega Keys.

Here's the promo for Predaking that had that info on him I mentioned before:

Well that's not saying much
Oh wait the PLANET Mercury. Wow. That's......is that possible without burning Predaking's internals into slag?

At least season one didn't reset the status quo every other episode. Orion Pax, Bumblebee's missing T-cog, red energon, Bulkhead's shot in the back, all met and extinguished immediately. Yeah, we got the Omega Keys. How long did that last; six episodes? Then they were destroyed in the Omega Lock's combustion. What a pathetic waste. Pointless.
Breakdown was a waste too: "Something awful's going to happen here, OH he's dead........wait, he's back aga-and he's dead again." Hardshell was a joke, and then there's the outrage of Deadwing. Heaven forbid any Autobot die. "Nobody's safe from death" my exhaust port.
Yeah, season one was "random," but is a season's arc all that matters in a cartoon? How about continuity? If something happened one episode, they didn’t fix or forget about it in the next. Prime examples of this during season two are Operation: Bumblebee and The Human Factor. “Oh no, Bumblebee lost his T-and it’s fixed.” “Silas in critical condi-and he’s back. Why did he kill his te-oh, that’s wh-and he’s screwed again.” Season one was better at handling this. Breakdown didn't get his eye back at the end of Operation: Breakdown. Instead, he was given an eyepatch. Crisscross didn’t pull a Men In Black and have June forget everything she saw. Instead, June became the first human after the pilot to learn about the Autobots.
Tl;dr, season one’s better IMO because it didn’t waste [as many] characters or reset the status quo every time. Season two had its highlights, but the majority of its arc were gigantic disappointments and wastes of potential, both in character and plot.

Looks like beast hunter is gonna start filling in those gaps. I was wondering what happened to the syn energon? Looks like Knock out finally is gonna use it in a few episodes. It does bug me a bit that they leave open plot holes and don't bother to "patch" them or explain them in a few episodes or even give us a hint they haven't forgotten about them. One thing i have noticed is that star screams facial movements have become for exaggerated. It's almost painful to watch.
