I don't get it, I checked the TFA site last weekend and read this, which is still what they say when we click on episodes 30, 31 and 32:

Episode 30, 31 and 32 of Transformers Animated was shown in the US and Canada on the 14th of March 2009 and is titled Transwarped. The three part epsiode also included the episodes Where is thy sting and Five servos of doom. Oh and an Autobot dies in this episode.

But now I see that 31 isn't a part of TransWarped but a single episode instead.

Anyway, the name makes more sense now with wasp.

Major Spoilers, FYI. Good episode though.

Autobots are dense.

Many cool guests, and well, we see how some of the previous clues and spoilers play out.

I want to see the next episode...NOW!

Good job DavidT!

... and another bot bites the dust.

Shockwave has turned out to be a major badass. Megatron better look out lol!

...and the twins, in my opinion, suck as much as I thought they would.

They remind me of those two brothers on Teen Titans that spoke Spanish. Just can't remember their name.

I thought the twins were better done than I thought, but like all Autobots, have absolutely no ability to think for themselves, apparently.

I liked it. We got to see "earth mode" wasp, the jet twins AND Magnus laid out.

The animation seems a little weak in some parts, but it was an overall good episode. I'm excited to see more!

Thier names were 'Mas Y Minos' I believe. And was really waiting for this episode. Sweet. I love Animated... not ashamed to say it.

Bulkhead kinda reminds me of a Minicon or something with that bus on his head...

INdeed it is. I at first thought is was the MCP from Tron, but you are right, it is that face.

I thought it was quite enjoyable

Thought we'd be getting Waspinator in this episode but perhaps later on eh?

The ending was quite a "wow!!" moment.. cant wait to see how the rest of that pans out

Dunno what to make of the twins just yet, thought the whole finishing each others sentences and speaking at the same time thing was cool, if not a little cliche.. but russian accents? Cant say I was expecting that.. "Cycled-Motor" though, lol

Best episode yet!

Squeaky Bulkhead is the greatest thing ever. :grin:

Did anyone see the G1 Easter egg to "Day of the machines"

Tue Mar 24, 2009 8:13 pm

Hmm... looks like you guys removed this from the front page news...

Great episode.
I was laughing when I saw the face of the evil computer from G1 as the background to Bumblebee's videogame.

::saves with keepvid.com::

Liked seeing Ultra Magnus messed up, though seeing it happen would've been cool.

Hated the twins.

Sentinel's a douche.

Why could no one tell "Bumblebee" was Wasp???

Where the [EFF!]s Sari been these last two episodes?

The episode was awesome. Shockwave is just killing everything

Always has been.

Good question. Nice of Bulkhead to realize who his friend was, and tell Wasp that he was a jerk before he was accused of being a traitor, though.

Probably still recovering from the events in Transwarped.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Mar 24, 2009 10:26 pm

I think it was a little all over the place.

The Bellic-Bots weren't as good as I expected. Their accents were a little distracting and... unnecessary. Their team work stuff was very cliche but that's okay, it kinda worked in a cheesy way. But their combining thing lasted all of 5 seconds before it got pushed to one side for some more plot dumping.

And I thought the Magnus bit was a bit.. tacked on. They did set it up earlier with Shockwave's message to Megatron, but I had to think for a second what had happened to him before I realised it was Shocky.

He's turning out to be a real badass, Shockwave. Have we ever had anyone so devilicious in Transformers? Maybe only in the television series. He's obviously a calculating liar and he seems pretty sick, what with crushing Blurr and taking out Magnus, presumably while he was unaware (if Magnus had the chance to use his hammer, Shockwave would be dust). And of course he sent down an innocent Autobot without question. No telling what we haven't seen him do.

You know I didn't even notice Sari's absence..!

But I don't like that Sentinel's back to being a royal jerk despite everything he's seen Prime accomplish. He hasn't learned a thing, which, while true to his character, actually works against him. In the end, good script writing usually includes character development, and unless made otherwise clear, Sentinel has no reason not to evolve to a point where he can accept that Prime might be right once in a while. Especially when Prime could just turn around and say "Do you remember the time with the Headmaster Unit last season?".

The episode was alright. The animation was very sub-par but meh. Not bad.

Tue Mar 24, 2009 11:39 pm

Yeah, I agree about Sentinel Prime being a douche. It's so... "American"... to have cartoon characters act just like they were described inside the initial character templates, as if events going on in the story are NOT adding to their character.

Cheezy.

And the twins were pretty annoying, much like I find the toy to be.
It's made even worse that one's being called "Jetfire".

I didn't notice Sari's absence either. Maybe that's a factor in me liking the episode.
Still liked it though.

Jazz's development in this episode was nice. He was less elite ninja-bot and more like oldskool brotha' Jazz, the music-appreciative partier. That made me happy. :grin:

Should be interesting to see how Wasp ends up as Waspinator... assuming that's going to end up as in-show canon.

Shockwave might be really evil in these, but MAN is he poor at thoroughly killing his enemies, isn't he?
First we're shown in the news here that Blurr's spark might still be active, then Magnus is still able to speak for a moment... and we KNOW what's in store for him. (A decent orange repaint made CRAP by his head still being blue). :roll:

I wonder... why'd Ironhide ask Magnus where his hammer was? Why would that be important? Odd...

It keeps it simple for the kids I guess.

He's definitely the most likable character of the Elites. It's almost cute the way he marvels at our little customs.

Not likely. Don't forget we have all the other repaints, like Rescue Ratchet in that disgusting yellow, and Elite Guard Bumblebee in black etc etc and they wont likely be in the show. I'd say Roadbuster Magnus is just a homage to the Roadbuster character and little more.

Riotflea wrote:I wonder... why'd Ironhide ask Magnus where his hammer was? Why would that be important? Odd...

It'll set up that Shockwave has the hammer when he next appears.

I absolutely, guarantee you, that when Shocky shows up again, he'll have the hammer and he'll use it against the 'bots.

If the writers have any sense of justice, Wasp will be the one who'll finish off Shockwave.

Quite possibly the best episode to date. I was thoroughly impressed from beginning to end.

Rock solid.

And it was nice to see Magnus actually give Optimus some credit for once. (It was even better to see him thrashed. He and Sentinel both deserve it. They've had their heads up their rears for so long that they've missed out on a great group of Autobots going above and beyond the call of duty. All by themselves.)

It's a sad shame the show is dying. =\
