Me neither. Had to watch a complete walkthrough of the game on YouTube to know what all went on in the game's events.

Also read all of Exodus.

Probably became scarce over the millennia between the games/books and the cartoon.

Unicron may already have that in mind.

DJ1107 wrote:The whole point was That even though Megatron has D.E. he I don't think He ever had time to study it so in comes Shockwave would have centuries to study it.

He pretty much had a good deal of knowledge about it by the time he discovered it in the games/book. Though, he assigned Shockwave to the task of experimenting with it, which eventually led to Shockwave giving life to Trypticon.

These are Vehicons:

And these are Terrorcons:

DJ1107 wrote:The reason for calling Shockwave is that like I said before he had to have been premoted in between years so why not.

Because even though he used to be second-in-command, the fact that Starscream is now second-in-command means that he must have been demoted and would serve beneath Starscream if he were to come in.

Ah the terrorcons are the zombies I always thought they were the flying ones. I just wanted to make Shockwave into a mix between Saren and Grivous of TF Prime. Anyway what you thought of the inclusion of more Autobots, Shockwave having a thing for Airachnid, And the whole epilogue with Jacks road to redemption.

More Autobots: It's bound to happen anyway, so nothing too special.

Shockwave's interest in Airachnid: Breakdown's already got that covered.

Jack's development: Fitting for this story, but I kinda like the route the show has taken with him instead. He's the best human teen character in a while.

This whole thing would have 3 B plots for season 2 1 is MECH studying Shockwave body and begin project CHIMERA but at the same time His conscience has enter there computers So that he can wait and see for what they will do to his body (At best Headmaster treatment be interesting be the first official Headmaster toy we had in years). B plot 2 would be the manhunt for Starscream as he's being chased by A decepticon bounty hunter and B plot 3 would have Jack going cross country to find Decepticon or MECH activity as well as have a "find his inner self journey."

Do you people actually pay any attention to Prime Shockwave isnt even in Prime well at least not yet.

Decipticons: Breakdown, Knockout Jeticons, Vehicons, Airachnid, Starscream (????) Megatron and Sounwave.

Autobots: Optimus, BB, Bulkhead, Arcee, Ratchet and a cameo from Wheeljack.

Humans: Miko, Jack, Raf, Agent Fowler, Silas with MECH, Jacks mom, That girl who Jack has a crush on, and the Bully him and Jack & Arcee raced against.

And that was Breakdown that was talking about Airachnid he has a thing for Airachnid if you paid attention in Stronger, Faster when he was chatting with Knockout.

Not in the cartoon, but he does exist in its universe.

Those are still Vehicons. They're just a flying version.

I have been on a long hiatus since my computer wouldn't play audio, so I haven't seen any episode since Predatory came out...

But no longer. Today I made it even and spent hours watching all TFP episodes following Predatory. And it was a time well spent. Breakdown actually looks good with the eyepatch and it's quite interesting that he seems to be attracted to Airachnid. Miko had emotions, who knew? June's arrival to Autobot base in my opinion was made pretty epic-worthy. Ratchet on what basically equals steroids won the Autobots a grand victory.

Sick mind was interesting, Bumblebee's confrontation with Megatron was very well done. The way Megs got into his head was awesome.

Out of his head, Megatrons return, Ratchet and Rafaels conversation and BBHS (Bulkhead-Breakdown hammer-smash) were nice.

Shadowzone brought us back two of our beloved elements: Skyquake and zombies. It was dark and creepy with a touch of TF awesome-ness.

Operation: Breakdown gave some other view on Bulkhead and Breakdown. As Bulkie showed he can put his emotions aside, Breakie displayed a possible desire to join the 'Bots ranks.

Crisscross. In the beginning I wished Airachnid would at least SLAG the goons, even if not Silas himself. Overall a good episode. Really, Science-fiction club?

Metal attraction was a classic two-on-two with one pair slightly in disadvantage. The weapon was awesome. Airachnid wasn't too pleased to be back, now was she.

Rock bottom was my favorite of all. So much emotion, I was tingled when Starscream faced Bulkhead and weak Miko. Jack and Megatron scene was cool.

Partners made me feel sympathetic towards Screamer at the mid-beginning, but afterwards I found that attacking Arcee like that was low, even for him. Airachnid is even more deceitful and slithering than old Screamer.

T.M.I. At first it seemed as if Miko had learned from Shadowzone, but apparently not. Brainiac Bulkhead, not quite original, but the concept of smart was. Again emotional Miko.

Stronger, Faster What happens when a medic takes steroids? Ratchet, apparently. Also very deep episode. But one big loss equaled a grand victory for the Autobots.

And finally, One shall fall. He is coming, all the signs point to it. Rafael had me worrying, Bumblebee was so emotional, Ratchet was panicking. Optimus finally realized the hard truth: Megatron won't ever change to the better. Following was the most epic battle between the titans I had ever seen. we can only hope the rematch will be as epic. Even if Rock Bottom was my fave, this is the most epic episode following the five-part starter so far.

Now the only thing we can wait for is the tri-part finale and the greatest battle Team Prime will ever face.

If you had bothered to pay attention, he specifically said this is his own personal "If I Did It" story. He said this isn't how it's going to happen, but it's how he would have liked it to have happened.

Rodimus2006 wrote:Jeticons

Seriously? You just made that up.

DJ1107 wrote:So Shadowman what you think of it?

Aside from all the flaws Sabrblade pointed out (Also that Starscream was in control of the Decepticons since Megatron's death, thus even if Shockwave was still second-in-command, it would be second-in-command to Starscream), I've still seen better.

Just goes to show that "Predatory" is the shark-jumping episode that made this show take a turn for the better. In fact, it was in "Predatory" that the position of Voice Director was changed from Sue Blu to Jamie Simone, so maybe this change had something to do with the stark increase in episode quality.

Jumping the Shark is a bad thing. You're thinking of Growing the Beard.

Well, I wasn't referring that the shows quality had changed (in fact I didn't even notice it) but rather to the fact that Predatory was the last episode I had seen in a long while and that it was good to finally get to see what I have missed out for months.

I know. I was pointing out how "Predatory" is really the first exceptionally good episode of the series. It's like Airachnid's arrival is what kicked this show into an overdrive of awesome.

Sucks I waited all week to watch One Shall Fall what happens I feel asleep and I didnt wake up until way later.

But the good thing is Hub shows replays during the week but they are far behind showing Speed Metal and Deus EX Machina so it will be awhile before that episode pops up.

I can watch stuff on Youtube if i want to from Generation 1 to Prime if I want to.

I choose not to watch it on you tube cause I like to watch it on my satellite cause of the better picture quality.

Usually I only use Youtube to watch video game previews and watch thingst that havent been released on DVD yet such as RID or Animated Season 3.

I also watch previews of upcoming movies such as Batman Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers.

I also watch cool Japanese Anime that hasnt been released in the US such as Tenhi Muyo Saints Knights Tale this need to be localized.

I have seen some of the coolest stuff but sadly none of it has been released here state side yet.

But when it comes to Transformers Prime I prefer to watch it on my Satellite.

Sort of a habit been doing since RID back on the Foxbox.

I will just wait for the replay during the weekdays.

Loved the ep. to no end. Although, I was kind of wanting to see a little more elaborated on about Optimus Prime before he was a Prime. Maybe more will come up before the finale wraps up. Also, Optimus's rampage through the Nemesis. Hellacool. :KREMZEEK:

The warm-up before the smackdown between him and Megs. And the fight, one of the best scenes was where Optimus had Megs pinned down, and burning out with his tires on Megs head. :HEADHURTS:

Almost thought that Optimus was going to be taking out Megatron at the end there.

Well, you'll be waiting a whole week for that to happen, since "One Shall Fall" won't reair until next Saturday at 1:30pm. So unless you really wanna wait that long, you're gonna have to get off your high horse and go to YouTube. YouTube is NOT THAT BAD.

Rodimus2006 wrote:Sort of a habit been doing since RID back on the Foxbox.

Confound it! When are you ever going to listen to me when I tell you this?! RiD NEVER aired on the FoxBox. RiD ended LONG before the FoxBox even existed! RiD aired on Fox Kids, which is NOT the same thing as the FoxBox! :BOOM:

Exodus covers his pre-Prime life.

Also, Episode 26 has Jack learning more of Optimus' past.

Man this eppy was awesome, I f**king love TFPrime, and I'm starting to really like all of the designs, even Prime and BB whom I hated before.
I kinda wished what happened to Raff would of had some kind of consequence for the show, no not outright killing him but, I don't know change him mentally or give him Superpowers or something. But hey there's still time to do something along those lines.

I was kinda expecting Prime offing Megatron, leaving just for Unicron reviving and further corrupting him or something.
Also, guess we now know that the face in that trailer was in fact Unicron, spoiler alert.

I've been squawking about how boring most of the episodes of TF: Prime have been, but this episode was anything but!

Great episode. Dark overtones, actual story development, character history, Unicron's blood erupting from a volcano, Prime's burnout on Meg's face - you name it. This episode had it.

THIS (IMO) is how the whole series should have been! I can't wait for the next installment.

by **Zequem** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:46 am

I have this feeling after watching the teaser of "One Shall Rise" that Season 2 will be pretty dark compared to Season 1. Well, at least I'm hoping so. It would be a waste to bring Unicron now and kill him off immediately.

One more week for new episode. I can't wait!
