Why is everyone concerned about when they are gonna air on TV in the U.S. ? They are already airing via internet, Youtube and torrent downloads. Just click and watch for christ sake. To hell with regular television its all about internet TV watching now. I dont have cable so its how I watch any and everything. There's nothing out either current or past that I cant watch via internet though my TV...... HD and all.

It's because we won't get the next Prime until it does? Hasbro doesn't want Canada to be a head. Simple as that.

Well, unless you've found a site that lets you watch episodes that haven't aired on TV yet, then you have to wait for that first.

Well no, yes you still have to wait for it to air on TV but as soon as it airs on TV anywhere in the world, Canada, Australia, Japan...whatever, then its available the next day (in some cases an hour after) somewhere on the internet. I dont see why some would rather wait till it airs in their country and complain about it.

Because you still have to wait for it to air. Location is, in this argument, irrelevant. We're not complaining about episode 23 not having aired in the US yet, we're complaining that episode 24 is even farther off.

A thousand times THIS!
And not only do we have to wait, but not all of us DOWNLOAD THEM, we also have to wait for youtube and such, because not all of us download, but that's not the point! The point is we have seen episodes 1 through 23 already, why not just let 24 drop early like the last three? Hasbro wont have that I guess, I mean, we can always hope for this weekend, but I don't know, hasbro might have made it a point to not air it. I hope teletoon airs it this weekend, I don't want to wait for US Air dates.

So what If it is? I'm not content on waiting a month. If hasbro was so unhappy about episodes 21-23 being leaked, why stop with one to go? Furthering that, why not just stop it after 21 got leaked? Why wait until now? What harm would there be in just airing it? Unless hasbro's gearing up for the biggest unveiling in their Networking hystory, I really don't see a good reason to drop the last episode right from the air, moreover, Right BEFORE It airs. I mean, after this, we have to wait like 6 months for another season anyway! That, and knowing the episode is complete, and their just holding it out because America doesn't get to see it first? How pig headed! America has as much right to see it AFTER Someone else as anyone else has to see it AFTER us, exactly what harm is there in giving someone ELSE The limelight for a change? I hate it here sometimes!

With one to go? One to go until what? There's three more episodes in the season.

I find your lack of facts disturbing:

1. Hasbro likely didn't know about the leak. Or if they did...

2. They didn't just drop the episode from the air, they run the Hub, not Teletoon. It's possible that they at least attempted to stop the new episodes from airing, but didn't manage to stop 21-23.

3. We're not waiting six more months, season 2 starts in November. We're waiting less than one month.

4. What does nationality have to do with any of this? It doesn't matter where it aired, it wasn't supposed to.

There's 26 episodes of season 1. If 24 were a an even bigger cliffhanger and it aired, then you'd be ticked off about having to wait for 25 just like how you are now about having to wait for 24.

And, season 2 comes in November, not six more months. >:oP

Well I just chalk it up to the fact that we've had huge breaks in series before so at least we've seen the past 3 episodes, even though we weren't suppose to. And yes while we still have to wait for the U.S. to air episodes that we've already seen just so we can get to a new episode at least we're still not waiting on episode 21. Its just another big break again.
I tell ya though, the creators are handling this series all wrong. It wont make it past a 2nd season or 3rd season if that at this rate.

Technically we are waiting on 21 again since 24 won't until after its (as well as 22's and 23's) U.S. airing.

I think more of the term "aficionado".

Though, only a day after I say this does info for 24 come.

Name: "One Shall Rise - Part 1"
Airdate: October 1, 2011
Description: The Autobots discover that Dark Energon is responsible for the natural disaster epidemic of Earth.

Well I meant in the sense that at least we are not waiting to find out what happened since episode 20. We already know. So technically we're not waiting to find out what happens in episode 21.

May I just say that I am so grateful to even have a show like Transformers Prime airing on TV. It is the only TF cartoon that I have actually seriously enjoyed as an adult (other than the G1 movie). I really appreciate the writing, music, acting, concept design, everything that they can do to make this show good with the time frame and technology available- it is amazing to me that they can bust out so much brilliance in a season. I cannot fathom how much manpower and work that would go into one show.
If I ever look this gift horse in the mouth, please someone shoot me with my own Armor-Piercing Particle Beam Cannon.

I have a theory that has been rattling in my head since episode 23 aired, we know Mech is trying to reverse engineer Transformers, or at least some kind of transformer tech to give them Parity with the Cybertronians. Perhaps something akin to the headmasters, or maybe finding some way to graft humans intelligence into a transformer body.

And we know that in Episode 23, Ratchet mentioned that Jack is like a young Optimus Prime, perhaps foreshadowing a time when Jack may have to take a leadership role.

And we know that Optimus often dies in the course of Transformers series, he always comes back, eventually, but dying is a common Optimus trope.

So my theory is that Optimus will die in this arc, and Jack will somehow merge with Mech's transformer tech to become an Autobot, perhaps the Prime universe version of Rodimus Prime, and will become the temporary leader of the Autobots, until Prime returns some time in season two.

Ok, First off, Welcome, and May you have a long happy stay
WARNING: SEIBERTRON MAY CONTAIN NUTS!
That outa the way, I think this theory is cool, but probably not going to happen. There is a fan fic section here. Maybe you could write it happening there? In G1, human turning Autobot tuned out WONDERFULLY Right? :lol:

Well, Personally, I think some herald of Unicron will come out of there or something. I can't frikkin wait!

by **Avinash_Tyagi** » Sun Sep 04, 2011 2:02 am

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Don't worry, I'm well aware of how strong the power of fandom can be (dark energon is no match)

Like I said its just a theory, more than likely you're right, it'll turn out to be like most fan theories, and end up on the dustbin of ideas, but hey its happened before in the transformers universe so its not that far out there

My original Theory on prime being a multipart story arc for the season 1 ending was proven right One Shall Rise is a 2 prt maybe 3 if they continue it into episode 26.

I dont know if you guys now this or not but I found the US Airdates for One Shall Rise prts 1 & 2

October 1st then October 8th

I guess Episodes 26 will be either on the 15th or on the 22nd sense Season 2 starts in November.

Unicron makes a cameo but the question remains will Unicron make his full appearance

When Ratchet said that, he meant that Optimus's personality used to be like Jack's back before he became a Prime. And Ratchet couldn't have been more right. Optimus was SO much like Jack back when he was younger.

Remember back at Botcon they said that Exo-Suits might be in Prime but usually Exo-Suits are used when a human gets injured.

But in Prime they inject Energon and heal humans.

So I guess that the Exo-Suits will be diffrent in Prime.

That reminded me of my PS2 game when they injected Raf with Energon they did similar with Metatron injecting it into Dingo but with it being where Dingo couldnt leave Jehuty.

Come on Kajima were is my ZOE 3 I been waiting almost 10 years

Sure, but why mention it at that particular point and then have Jack's response get cut off, unless it was intended to foreshadow a coming event.
