And just what exactly is wrong with that? Animated was the best thing since Beast Wars. And Prime has the potential to be as well.

They kind of remind me of Pirana

Holy Crap!!!

This is why I LOVE Prime. Its so dark and its like it is actually aimed towards the older fans who graduated from elementary school a while ago. I just love how violent it gets.

Its a tie between that thing and the little bug-thing that the dark energon infected at the end of Darkness Rising Pt. 2 that scares the crap about me most.

BTW... that thing at the end of Darkness Rising Pt. 2...... TFormers Prime Scalpel?

Exactly...just replace Beast Wars with G1. I like Beast Wars, but I like G1 better.

Fair enough. Though, when I wrote that, I wasn't talking about favorites, I was talking about quality and competence. Still, let's not open up the "G1 vs. BW" can of worms.

Depends on the kind of worms...I'm fond of the sour jelly worms, personally. #-o

This episode in my opinion was a litle weak compared to the other ones one of my least favorites so far.

The scrapmetals or whatever you wanna call them were like little kiddy pirahana things that ate anything metallic but ignored the humans.

This episode really didnt have enough ooph in it or bang it was really boring to me.

Next weeks episode Con Job with Wheel Jack looks to be more promising but i guess we will see next Friday.

Overall this episode is a 2 out of 5 sorry but i really didnt care for it.

I do like Prime but I have a gut feeling there will be some more sucky episodes like Scrapheap in the near future.

Me I like Prime I also like Animated I dont bash but I do hate certain episodes such as this one and I hated certain episodes in Animated but overall I enjoyed Animated.

Same with Prime there will be sucky episodes from time to time. But I know I will enjoy it like with previous series in the transformers.

I am not getting the re-releases of G1 but I will get the new Shout Set of Beast Wars along with the Takara Sets which have never been in the US.

RID has only been shown in the US on the Fox-Box however it has never ever seen a US DVD release for unknown reasons. However there has been many outside releases from the UK called the Ultimate RID Set which says Jetix.

It's not a matter of what we want to call them, but what they are called. Scraplets.

And, you act as though you've never heard of these things before. Have you forgotten about the G1 Scraplets?

Stop going off topic! We're talking about Prime ONLY! This DVD talk has no place in this thread.

And RiD never aired on the Fox Box, it aired on Fox Kids, complete different programming block. And the reasons for it not being released in the U.S. are not unknown. Disney still own it, that's why.

Gyaaahh! Not ya got me going off topic! :BANG_HEAD:

I really loved this episode. To me it was very artistic and we were able to see a different side to the Transformers that we haven't seen before. There was fear in all of the Autobots. Plus, this was the first time that we saw snow, and I must say that it looked amazing! The Scraplets were cool and creepy all at the same time. They reminded me of Critters (those old 80's horror movies).

If I were to criticize this episode for anything, it would be that it was all about the Autobots and practically nothing about the Decepticons. But I don't care because we need a variety of episodes and I loved this one. I'm looking forward to seeing Wheeljack in the next episode.

Finally, a TF show to feed my BW itch!

That's true Sabrblade. I guess I should have been more specific. This is something that we haven't seen in TF Prime so far and I liked it

Ah, yes. Right.

BTW, there is a discussion thread for the whole series.

Im too impatient so i watch it online.teletoons going to take YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!(maybe a month or 2)

Those swarms of Scraplets made my skin crawl something aweful. Eww, it makes me itch just thinking about it.

Overall though, Prime is just not doing much for me. It's not nearly as fun as Beast Wars and Animated are, and the pacing of the episodes seems wonky. This one was better but the others seem to just be Michael Bay actions scenes with some plot hap-hazardly tossed in. Also none of the characters are particularly likable (maybe Bulkhead). I definitely hope it can improve.

I think the whole purpose of this episode was to give the kids something to do.

by **G1 Smoketreader** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 7:56 am

I KNOW it won't happen, but my thoughts are that it would be interesting if a handful of the Scraplets escaped Bulkheads' trap at the end and survived to return in a future episode.
There was no queen-template analog and I doubt they 'grow', but the idea that a rare few few may eventually return as a bigger version could yield us all a neat Sharkticon-style Prime toy to own and love!!

I hope they don't kill off Wheeljack.

Edit: Oops!! The Wheeljack issue is being discussed in another thread.Please ignore my comment on his death.

I rather liked this episode, though I was kinda expecting the Scraplets to merge into a bigger form:

I'm glad they didn't, as such an occurrence has become something of a cliche.

At first the Scraplets seemed so cute and harmless...

god, I love this show, It's hilarious and serious at the same time!

The part where Optimus and Arcee where dying of cold, that was so deep. It seemed so emotional talk...
