He makes an appearance as spark-eating zombie. The Autobots would interrogate a mindless, undead corpse for information?

Breakdown's body may be running amok, but if Silas is still alive, and contained within Breakdown, then he's not 'mindless', and could be interrogated. I can see him being 'free' of the influence of the Dark Energon, AND the Synth-en, and still able to think and talk (and be interrogated).

We've got it covered already.
With only five episodes left to cover their tracks and little time to open up new story opportunities, I sincerely doubt Silas isn't dead.Shockwave7 wrote:1) Silas may not be dead.

Shockwave7 wrote:1) Silas may not be dead. All Airachnid did was expose the spark chamber of Breakdown's body. She didn't gut Silas or anything. She just said 'whatever' and slunk away. Silas (in Breakdown's body) was left untended after Breakdown and Starscream reported to Megs. Silas could have recovered and made off. He could then be the one who is 'captured' and interrogated next week. Certainly, after his ordeals, he would have plenty of reasons to want to spill the beans on Megatron's plans.
2) After getting beat up by Megatron (again), Starscream goes rogue (again) and is the one who blabs to the autobots.
3) Breakdown becomes disaffected after being rendered persona non grata following the zombie disaster. Having been stripped of all meaningful duties and respect, he may now seek greener pastures.

First of all, how would Silas know anything about Megatron's project if he's been contained all this time?
Secondly, Knock Out and Airachnid are possibilities as well, especially since both have inside knowledge and would be more useful to the Autobots.
That final "thank you" of his was the key, indicating that he saw her killing as a merciful, freeing him from his suffering to let him rest in peace.
With only five episodes left to cover their tracks and little time to open up new story opportunities, I sincerely doubt Silas isn't dead.
Thirdly, if they play the Starscream card again, it would just seem repetitive and had gotten old by then.
Finally, are you suggesting Breakdown return to full life? If not, how would Breakdown's corpse regain health? If so, the writers strictly prohibit any character from returning from the dead. Prime treats mortality different. If you're foolish enough to die, you stay dead.
Shockwave7 wrote:How would Silas know anything about Megatron's plots? Daaah, gee - he's been alive and on the ship for quite a while. Ya think he might... ya know... HEAR things? It wouldn't be the first time that a character on this TV show improbably relayed information that Vehicons, Insecticons and even Megatron were casually discussing while strolling the corridors, or shooting the breeze in their labs. Weren't Knockout and Starscream doing just that - discussing Project Predacon, and other things, RIGHT THERE while Silas was twitching on his slab? 'Daaah, how would he know', indeed. He'd know a lot more than Airachnid, who was in stasis the whole time, and who knows absolutely nothing about any of it.
Could it be Airachnid? Maybe. But Soundwave dumped her and all the insecticons onto one of Cybertron's moons with no way to escape. So I find it much LESS likely that it would be Airachnid than Silas, who is still on earth, and by no means 'certainly' dead.
Gee - repetition on a TV show. Yeah, I've never heard of any TV program doing anything like THAT before... /sarc
Daaaah, gee - Dark Energon? Daaah, gee - re-animates the dead? Daaah, he died before when Airachnid killed him, yet he's STILL in the series? Doesn't sound like his body 'stayed dead', now does it?
Not sure why Airachnid-lovers are so dang insistent that SHE be the one, and fight to try and dismiss the notion that it could be Silas, who has just as plausible a chance of being the 'captured enemy' of 'Minus One' as anybody. However, in the interest of fairness, I will throw the Silas-haters a bone and add this caveat: We're all just speculating. Until they show 'Minus One', it's all merely educated guesswork.

That was the whole point of hooking him up to Breakdown's body in the first place. His own human body had been mortally wounded that he had to be surgically fused to Breakdown's body in order to survive.Shockwave7 wrote:Silas may not have to depend on Breakdown's body being functional in order to stay alive.
1. I'm not PrymeStriker. I wasn't giving you an attitude, so I find yours given to me unwarranted.Shockwave7 wrote: Besides, he has bits of Dark Energon in him. Ya know - 'bring back the dead' and all that...? Huh? HUH?
I never suggested Airachid, so kindly don't aim that snap towards me.Shockwave7 wrote:If 'gee they don't have many episodes left' is your sticking point, that's all the more reason to use Silas, an established character with a pre-built model. It'll be a lot easier for the writers to have Silas recover, be captured, and interrogated as opposed to writing a way for Airachnid to travel light years away without a spacebridge, without rocket propulsion, and without anyone on Earth who wants to bring her back.
Breakdown is dead, and has been dead all this time. Cylas is not the same person as Breakdown, thus he was in control of the dead guy's body at the time. The body might have life to it, but the soul of Breakdown is long gone.Shockwave7 wrote:Daaaah, gee - Dark Energon? Daaah, gee - re-animates the dead? Daaah, he died before when Airachnid killed him, yet he's STILL in the series? Doesn't sound like his body 'stayed dead', now does it? Obviously the writers don't 'strictly prohibit' meddling with the limitations of mortality now, do they?
On Earth, yes. Billions and billiosn of lightyears away on the uninhabited moon of a dead planet with likely no communications with the outside world? Probably not.PrymeStriker wrote:Airachnid could request a ground bridge from the Autobots. Starscream, Megatron, and Dreadwing had no problem doing so.

2. Dark Energon reanimating the dead works on machines. For humans, however, the stuff is lethal. Raf was nearly killed by the stuff back in the season 1 finale.

Megatron appeals to Ratchet; Optimus takes on the Predacon.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Knock Out is Megatron's doctor, has operated on Megatron before, and ought to know his systems better than Ratchet would. So, why call for Ratchet for repairs when Megs has Knock Out?Dead Metal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What about Knock Out?Twitchythe3rd wrote:I'd be willing to bet he's pulling a Starscream.

I think he means Megatron gets trashed and calls Ratchet like Starscream used to.
