Say, that's right! Windblade couldn't have sniped Starscream from orbit, after all. Maxima's gun sight didn't look THAT telescopic.
Man, we got so far off track that it took this long for someone to notice...
But that brings up something wrong with even the big plot development at the end: Optimus really didn't know the council had the Enigma of Combination? Because last episode, someone here pointed out how odd it was that the building Screamer flew into had that huge window through which Windblade or anyone else could see it right there. So how had Op not seen it too, if he's been hanging around this close to the capital?
"What? The council has the Enigma? (
looks over shoulder) Oh yeah, there it is! Well I'll be damned."
IDR if they activated full-lockdown shutters after Starscream fell, but the point still stands. I'm not rewatching any of this until the whole thing's out.
A shame about the path this thread went down, but if this attempt at an official G1 cartoon arouses passions this violent, just imagine how much worse it would be if CW was seriously trying to assert continuity with the original cartoon. Nope keep them restarts a' comin'! Well, presumably the other Prime Wars toons will be direct sequels to this.
As for the "mature" aspects...I can't remember the exact wording, but some article around here gave me the idea that this series would be written like your average Gundam anime, or, say, Young Justice. Just shows to go ya' how differently we can interpret a simple adjective, none more so that "G1"...
"Decepticons! Transform and Rise Up!"
