I thought he said that OP showed royalty and not loyalty... i mean, it's obvious he is loyal but to mention someone is "royal" would mean he thinks even more of OP then we know.
does that make any sense ?

No, not really. =(

I just double checked and UM says "Loyalty".
God bless DVR technology.

How does someone show "royalty"

Though here's a thought,if "Prime" is a designation of rank does that mean we could have Rodimus Prime show up?

That could actually be pretty good, they could have him as a recently graduated Prime.

This also makes me wonder if guys like Nova Prime will show up.

you do realize that robert stack is dead?!

Yeah, this Ultra Magnus was played by Jeff Bennett.

Well this series is doing a great job with mimicking G1 Voices. First Ratchet sounds exactly like G1 Kupp played by John Stevenson and now Ultra Magnus sounds like Robert Stack from the '86 movie. You guys cant say his voice is not a dead ringer
for Robert Stack. You can just hear the "Unsolved Mysteries" narration in his voice.
You know Im right!
And no I did not know he was dead, or I think I did know but I forgot or something. Anyway I dont keep up with every single fact in the world. As much as I love to be a internet TF Guru-Head, I do have a life.

Here's the Official Shadowman Thoughts:

1. Sentinel Prime is apparently going to be the "Jackass" character who only serves to make everyone else seem a lot nicer.

2. Jazz is easily likable. His lines are all brilliant, and it helps that Phil Lamarr (Ex-MadTV cast member, and voice acting GOD) is reading them. His Laser nunchaku are sweet.

3. So it WAS Dinobot island. Huh. I wonder why the Dinobots didn't do anything during the fight with Megatron.

4. Ultra Magnus has no personality. But GodDAMN if that hammer of his isn't awesome.

5. The "Sari Isn't Human" theory is furthered here.

6. The AllSpark looks like it might be going down the same road as the O-Parts from RID.

7. So does Isaac Sumdac, apparently, but unlike Onishi, it looks like they're using Sumdac to build them stuff, like a Starga--I mean, Space Bridge.

That would make a lot of sense.

Well it was announced today that the reason transformers won't be on next weekend is because they will be showing an encore presitation of ben ten alien force instead. I can't wait to see the next episode so we can find out more about the mystery surounding sari.

Shadowman wrote:4. Ultra Magnus has no personality. But GodDAMN if that hammer of his isn't awesome.

Ultra Magnus wasn't really featured enough for his personality to be developed. He stayed mostly in the background. But I'll agree with your statement about his Mjolnir-style hammer.

May be preaching to the choir here, but you do realize that the concept of a Spacebridge is older than Stargates, right? And if you're talking about appearance, the Warp Gates in the third season of G1 were similar to the spacebridge links in this series.

Well then, here are the official Axiom thoughts

1. Ticktimus will make me like Optimus the rest of the season. That alone makes me like the slag shoveling monster truck.

2. Jazz watched thundercats while getting his altmode, and is cool enough to teach Prowl and perhaps the others. Prowl will surpass Jazz in metalikato.

3. Something big will go down to warrant all the bots to work together. (a combiner) Something even bigger should they need human support. (space bridge army/prison break?)

4. Ultra Magnus' Norse hammer with RiD blue blazes has more personality then him. How long before Sentinel convinces him to take the key from sarri?

5. Sarri is either a clone of Sumdac's wife, mom, or sister who died in the crash. A product of cybertronian tech.

6. I said there will be allspark shards... and this may make sarri appear more useful.

7. Prime time: RodimusP (fiery sports truck please) could come out when the Decepticons use the space bridge to Cybertron. VectorP and NovaP could be part of some council or something.

wicked episode... anyone else think Sentinel's alt-mode resembles Gears?

I just had a thought. Couldn't Sari use her key to find all the Allspark shards just like how Megatron used it to find the Allspark in the last episode?

Yeah, I do. The spacebridges look more like the Gate System in Cowboy Bebop, but apparently can exit anywhere, like Hyperspace in...everything.

I half saw this episode again this morning(still in bed).

Well I noticed something. The rough drawing promo pic for the comercial break was of Optimal Optimus

Could it be that someone in the Cartoon Network add department has taste in good Transformers designs and wants to push it as best they can!?!

yes, she is an amalgamation of Kagomai and several other anime girls.

Nekoman wrote:Saw it last night (recorded it) and it was a really, really good episode.

I didn’t like some of the Ninja crap and UM seemed a little too gullible, but I like how it expanded on the scenario a bit.

Jazz wasn’t too bad, the episode didn’t concentrate on G1 reference but more kept to the story, which is good. I had fun watching it!

In the words of an old MacGyver Episode. "Hallelujah Ambrose!".

Am I dreaming, did Nekoman actually find something he likes about this series. I am impressed. Glad you finally found something you liked about it. Its good to hear positive for a change. This is in no way meant as an insult or anything like that. I'm just happy you like something from it.

Anyway back to the episode. I can't wait for the UM toy to be released, he needs to have a huge hammer.

Ohh ohh you hear that, its the pitty patty of little feet of kitbashers shuffling about finding paints and add-ons to turn him into a Marvel Crossovers Thor.

Sentinel Prime well his personality speaks for itself. He's a big obnoxious narcissistic bully. Loved the slap in the face he got from Prime whit the "The last time I checked we still had equal Rank"

Does anybody think his alt mode looks a bit like Energon Ironhide:
Energon Ironhide

Sentinel Prime


Jazz was quite cool with the Nunchucks.

I really liked the episode. Can't wait for all the figures to show up in stores.

Yeah, your dreaming. Now let me pinch you and let you hear me complain again!

Nah, just kidding. Anyway, I’ve got to admit this episode almost fixed everything I didn’t like about the show. First, we have a plot (finally), some mystery and importance added to Sari and it expanded a good deal on the setting.

It really did beat the heck out of what I thought it would be.

Now in the back of my head I get the feeling the next episode will return to usual, but if it was something like this one, I’ll enjoy it. I’m going to hope this will mark the end of some of the “go nowhere” episodes and keep the story going a bit.

And yes, the first thing I noticed about Sentinel was his resemblance to E Ironhide.

What are you talking about? What promo pic?

He a freaking snowplow and who not going to notice a giant snowplow driving threw detroit on a regular bases. couldn't find the quote I was looking for but it had something to do with forms that Sentinel Prime chose for himself and ultra magnus.

I don't understand why people complain about the story not going anywhere at times... i mean g1 was excatly the same and yet nobody ever complained about it.

robotrik wrote:I don't understand why people complain about the story not going anywhere at times... i mean g1 was excatly the same and yet nobody ever complained about it.

Well to me, it having the same problem that G1 had doesn’t exactly make it better. People probably don’t go back and discuss stuff like that cause G1 was twenty-four years ago and Animated is now. That’s why you’ll see more talk about Animated, including more complaining and more praise then you will for, lets say, RID at the moment.

And not every episode is like that, but a lot of episodes, example; Nature Calls took the story absolutely nowhere.

I don't mind the story developing slowly. At least Animated has one advantage over it's progenitor, that being episodes do build on each other. G1 reused old plot developments only a handful of times and never to significant effect.

The only thing on my mind about Animated at the moment though, is what has become of Starscream?

You mean:

Sentinel Prime wrote:As you know I scanned some typical earth vehicles sir, So we won't attract attention to ourselves..."

Yeah a snowplow and a big honking war truck with missile pods, are very inconspicuous in Detroit.

A good show, Animated is starting to get out of first gear.

Things that I like: Jazz, Sentinal Prime, and Ultra Magnus. Sari's not having "existing", and overt G1 references and annoying humans kept to a minimum.

Things I didn't like: The Dinobots when do they anything that actully
help the story?
The shows getting too Autobot heavy they need more Decepticons.

I mean Megatron's plan is too invade Cybertron with a force of wha 5 or 6 Decepticons? I mean I know Animated's Decepticons are supposed to be very powerful but 6 Decepticons face a million Autobots, they're going to lose. The overall plot is going to have the Transformers fight for the Allspark crystals, sounds like the plot to
last 3 shows.

There is probably an army of Decepticons we have not seen yet. But to prematurely mobilize them would bring the full might of the Autobot forces down upon them.

Should Megatron ever get the Space Bridge technology working I would imagine they would set it up in such a way as to instantly swarm Cybertron with the entirety of their ranks.
