Why is Agent Fowler flying an F-22 Raptor???
Even worse, while wearing a business suit???
This guy has got to go, he is not necessary
Because he's awesome. It seems to be his theme.
Didn't realize this thread was here. I'll just copy and paste the stuff from my thread--with extra notes and formatting--and let the mods do what they want with the thread proper.
Spoilers abound: Ye be warned!-Skyquake was...kind of bland, actually. He was extremely loyal to Megatron, but he lacked that psychotic zealot quality Lugnut had in Animated.
-"You're a motorcycle, Arcee. Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" "You're a human, Jack. Could you build me a small intestine?" I really, really like Arcee in this series. I mean, like like, you know?
-So...what's up with Megatron? I didn't expect to see him back so soon, but I'm not certain he's even alive. There was a chunk of Dark Energon where his spark should be, and he showed characteristics of being a DE Zombie, but he wasn't glowing blue like them. And he's apparently alive, sans-Spark.
-Hey, Soundwave has Laserbeak. And he doesn't trust Starscream in the slightest. Also Laserbeak has no color, seems to be a theme among the Decepticon higher-ups.
-Ratchet hijacking everyone's science projects cements him as the totally awesome comic relief of the series. That's one hell of a model volcano...
-I couldn't be the only one expecting Prime to give Bumblebee the "Stop trying to be good at this, you're too young, blarg blarg" speech we hear all the time...but Bumblebee actually did really good, and though Prime noted that. TF Prime really loves smashing your expectations over the head with a brick and then disemboweling them.
-Speaking of, a bit more cyber-gore in the case of Bumblebee pulling bits out of Skyquake, though he was a jet at the time so the "gore" half is kind of lost. I couldn't help but think of that scene in Iron Man, where Tony pulls out bits of the Iron Monger saying "This looks important!"
-What was Agent Fowler doing in a fighter jet? I'm trying to avoid the answer "because he's awesome" but that's the only one I can think of.
-I like that the Eradicons can actually talk. Here's hoping they don't end up too silly like Battle Droids in Star Wars, but at least maintain a comical stupidity one would expect from cannon fodder.
-Is it just me or is Starscream afraid of Soundwave? He could just pull rank, but he keeps lying and going out of his way for Soundwave not to know his true, extremely obvious intentions. "Yes, I'm trying to get rid of Megatron's probably-still-alive body. I'm also the Leader of the Decepticons. You don't like it? Kiss my tailpipe. Oh wait, I'm a jet, I don't have a tail pipe. And you don't have a mouth. So GET BACK TO WORK."
