MQ-9 Reaper wrote:I LOVE the new opening - I was wondering if they were ever going to have one. I kind of shy away from the thought of having a theme song with any lyrics, since I personally feel that the last couple of times they tried that it was....botchy. I'm no Geewunner, but unless it sticks really close to the original theme song, I don't really support the idea of one.

Could it be possible to merge it with this one? (grated, your first post would probably have to be deleted since you just copied and pasted it into this thread)Shadowman wrote: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.
I couldn't tell, but it looked as though his spark was gone and the Dark Energon in him was keep him alive (barely). Apparently, he's alive enough to have been put safely into stasis at the episode's end.Shadowman wrote:-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.
Actually, that's just Soundwave's Deployer. We saw it back in episode 3 when it attacked and kidnapped Fowler.Shadowman wrote:-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.
Also the scene where Iron Man has a run in with the Air Force jets and he has to rip that one pilot's parachute out free.Shadowman wrote:-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!"
And what exactly is wrong with that? We don't need a legitimate reason for every little piece of awesomesauce.Shadowman wrote:-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.
Why am I the only one to ever bring up that they spoke and acted as individuals before in the Prime graphic novel? They may be foot-soldiers, but they aren't drones.Shadowman wrote:-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.
Soundwave sees you when you're sleeping... Soundwave sees you in your nightmares.Shadowman wrote:-Is it just me or is Starscream afraid of Soundwave?
Knockout's coming later. As for Breakdown, we've already seen him in the Prime graphic novel:SlyTF1 wrote:Where where Breakdown and Knockout? I never saw them.

Sabrblade wrote:BTW, the zombies are called "Terrorcons".

Sabrblade wrote:Though, I was never under the impression that Megatron was gonna die after that explosion. Other Megatrons of the past have come out of worse cases, so I figured this Megs would be no different.
Sabrblade wrote:It was designed in homage to Laserbeak, but is (deliberately) not confirmed to BE Laserbeak (besides, that design would do Laserbeak some serious injustice).
Wigglez wrote:Just remember. The sword is an extension of your arm. Use it as if you're going to karate chop someone with your really long sharp ass hand.
Well, different world, different rules. These guys are Vehicons, yet they're not mindless.Shadowman wrote:While Vehicons are one of the concepts from beast Machines I actually liked, my problem is that they were mindless, Sparkless drones and, as you keep pointing out, Eradicons aren't.
Read it man. I give Cliffjumper enough time in the spotlight to forgive his short screentime in episode 1.Shadowman wrote:I haven't actually read the graphic novel yet. Probably should.
I think it's pretty much a given (yet unspoken) rule that Starscream will never be Decepticon leader officially (or in the case of the G1 movie, for no more than 22 seconds).Shadowman wrote:I would have been seriously shocked if he had died. Though I did have an idea for a story where Megatron had already been declared dead and the Decepticons were lead by Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave. But even then, Megatron still came back.
His head bears the iconic Soundwave shape. It just looks like someone stretched out his visor and pulled it over his whole face.Shadowman wrote:So...how closely does Soundwave in Prime resemble Soundwave in any of Soundwave's other appearances?

Well, Peter Cullen's Optimus always did have that touch of John Wayne mixed with a bit of General George Patton in his voice (though, Cullen's primary original vocal inspiration was his older brother's voice, who was a Marine).crashhcourse wrote:And is it just me or does Optimus have a John Wayne swagger in his step?

More fun facts: Transformers did a set of PSAs almost EXACTLY like the ones GI Joe did, right down to saying "Now we know!" "And knowing is half the battle!" at the end.
They had Aerialbots in WFC (Air Raid, Jetfire, and Silverbolt) and Exodus (any Autobot Seeker), so they do exist in the Prime continuity. What happened to them all, however, is what needs to be explained.frogbat wrote:prime better start building himself some aerialbots fast - the cons have air superiority covered

I really enjoyed that little blerb also, and I really hope also they delve more into their back storys.deathweasel wrote:I liked the scene where Prime was reflecting on the fact that he failed to convert Megatron before his "demise."
Want to see their past explored and developed more throughout this series.
SlyTF1 wrote:One thing I hate about this show is that Starscream is a cry baby b!tch! I miss in Animated how he actually DID something about it! This Starscream just wants EVERYONE to bow to him for some reason! Optimus, Skyquake, the other Decepticons! It just...I don't know. I don't like this Starscream. Plus he wears high heels. Damnit.

Don't forget Energon Starscream (the most loyal of all Screamers) and, in a way, Cybertron Starscream (who completely splintered himself from Megatron's command after gaining power of his own).Shadowman wrote:Just about the only Starscream who wasn't like this was Armada Starscream, who was more like Dinobot in a lot of ways.

Energon Starscream was recreated by Alpha Q and tasked with the objective of assassinating both Optimus Prime and Megatron, whom Alpha Q view as threats to his plans. Optimus had a monopoly on energon, and Megatron had taken possession of Unicron's body; Alpha Q needed both of these order to complete his goal of resurrecting his home planets.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:(the most loyal of all Screamers)
Being the most loyal Starscream is like being the most sane man in the asylum. But then I stopped watching the Unicron Trilogy about five or so episodes into Energon.
