I thought so too, so I took a look at Prowl's bio of TFWiki and at the helmet in "FSoD." Very similar in appearance, but the head crests are different. The original helmet had much smaller crests (and more similar to those on Prowl's usual helmet) than the tall, straighter ones on Yoketron's.
Wish I had a picture of Yoketron's helmet to display in comparison to the intial one in "Fistful of Energon."

That was a great episode. I loved seeing a new big guy on the Autobot team in Warpath. (one of my all time favorites)

I also really enjoys the dynamic between Jazz & Prowl. Nice to see the producers recognize that for what it is.

I won't lie, I thought we would see Dia Atlas in this episode, but I'm happy with just seeing Warpath and more of the twins.

Warpath is a big gigantic no-nonsense Elite guard brute, Lockdown was a former cyber-ninja turned pira-bounty hunter, and Prowl gets back another armor suit, and Master Yokitron is voiced by the same guy who stars as Emperor Yoshiro in Red Alert 3 (pretty small world there)? This episode reeks of awesomeness! I have to note though, at the rate where all the decepticons are getting captured so quickly (as opposed to how unbeatable they were last season) i can't help but feel all the events are snowballing to a big climax pretty soon. Hurry up and leak the next episode!

Best Animated episode ever!

Warpath, George Takei, Sentinel being more of a douche than usual.

I didn't expect to see Lockdown this season. I was pleasantly surprised.

Overall I thought it was a great episode. One of my favorites from the series. It was cool to see Prowl in his armor again and learn about his, Jazz's, and Lockdown's past. The twins were great in this episode. I hope they don't leave with Sentinel back to Cybertron.

I don't think they will leave with Sentinel, since a) It would be a waste of a plot point w/ bulkhead having to work on the space-bridge anyways, and b) there are still Decepticons (B.A. and Wasp(+ inator soon

) and whoever else I missed) on Earth. And then there's that Sari deal...

I think he's referring to the Jet Twins leaving with Sentinel. Saying to keep them on Earth so they can get more screen time.

Yeah, but between the two, Earth has definitely been seen more than Cybertron has. If the Jet Twins stay on Earth, chances are we'd see them much more often than we would if they were on Cybertron.

Maybe this season will end on Cybertron, or at least involve Cybertron more.

Anyone else think that there is more than a tithe of foreshadowing of what is going to happen to Prowl in the last gem of wisdom Yoketron uttered?

Strong episode, not just for the lack of Sari and Bumblebee, lots of clever nods and references, I think some of the other great Ninjabots looked too familiar to be co-incidental.

Warpath was nice and large, just like a tank should be.

Waiting 40 episodes for Prowl's backstory was worth it, an Autobot boot camp deserter, who gets a chance to become a ninja (and the last one too).

Best series since Beast Wars.

Again those twins steal the episode and my heart! What a couple of cuties, even if they were becoming Sentinal Prime fanboys for a bit there. I'm now officially integrating "Okey for Dokey" in my daily vocabulary.

Good to see some Lockdown backstory, and funny to find out Prowl had an even worse attitude back in the day than he did at the start of the series. I'm suprised with how inquisitive Prowl is that he never put the pieces together about Lockdown sooner, even though the two have fought multiple times before this.

The BEST part of the show for me though? RAMJET! He got the drop on both Sentinal Prime AND Lockdown. I'm starting to really fall for this clone in particular. He sounded so cool too, all, "Here I am, unarmed and helpless..." what a little devil.

On a side note, I wish they'd give these seeker clones names in the show now instead of just on their boxes.
