yes enjoyed it a great deal....I'm familiar with all of the tv shows, games, and movies. I'm unfamiliar with the print sources(comics and books). just never got into them as a child, was only allowed 2 comic subscriptions a year(stupid school ruining me for life) as a child so I went with superman and batman. might have to look into them however.

Cuz there's at least two that I haven't seen all of.
As for the comics, same here. However, I am currently trying to rectify that by going back and reading as many TF comics as I possibly can. I've already completed all the Marvel Comics, the Blackthorne comics, and most of the Japanese G1 manga. Once I finish the G1 manga, I'm gonna move on to the 3H comics, the Dreamwave comics, the Fun Pub comics, the IDW comics, and whatever else I can find to read.
I have, but the ones I was referring to having not seen all of myself were Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, and the original Japanese versions of RiD and the Unicron Trilogy.njb902 wrote:hmmmm didn't think about the latter g1 Japanese series. I have not seen all of those.

I refuse to watch raws before subtitled versions. I want to understand the dialogue on the first viewing, which is why I haven't watched them all yet.njb902 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I have, but the ones I was referring to having not seen all of myself were Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, and the original Japanese versions of RiD and the Unicron Trilogy.njb902 wrote:hmmmm didn't think about the latter g1 Japanese series.

While I have seen about four episodes of Beast Wars II and about six of Super Link subbed, the overall quality of the BWII episodes (audio, video, sub translation script, etc.) was pitiful, and the fansubbing group doing both it and Neo, Ctenosaur, never completed either series. As for Super Link, while TV-Nihon did finish it, I stopped because I'd prefer to see all of Car Robots (which TV-nihon has done about 8 episdoes so far) and Micron Densetsu (which no one has subbed yet) first.

Well, Airachnid hasn't officially been promoted to take Starscream's job. it's obvious she wants it, trying to get in Megatron's good favor and all, but as of late, she hasn't been seen as being all that worthy for the job by Megs, what with leaving Starscream behind and trying to overthrow him when he was away.Zequem wrote:That 'Second in Command' -part puzzles me, and I wonder if it has an effect in Crossfire.
I'm guessing airachnid doesn't like the idea of Dreadwing coming in and taking the sub commander position, and so tries to get control over the Insecticon to prove her worth over Dreadwing. And a for Starscream, he probably wants the Insecticon so he can have an ally/minion of his own to support him. And so the two just want the same thing at the same time.Zequem wrote:In an episode synopsis I found, it said that Airachnid and Starscream fight to control an Insecticon; the Decepticons lose more soldiers, and especially the last part is interesting.
I'm guessing (and hoping) that's just a large sum of Vehicons getting axed. And maybe it's because the Cons lose a lot of them that Airachnid chooses to get the Insecticon to not only bolster their ranks but also make her look good by having her be the one to bring it in.Zequem wrote:How do they lose more soldiers? Does someone die, does Airachnid leave because of Dreadwing stealing her Second in Command status or is it just there to troll us and it's just Vehicons dying like usual? I'm actually pretty scared for what's to come.

As for why all that stuff ended up on Earth, it seems to me that other than the original Bot of Con to make planetfall there really wasn't that much of a coincidence. They needed a place to stash energon and the really dangerous weapons and the artifacts. Earth fit the bill with a) enough landmass to be useful. b)an atmosphere similar enough to Cybertrons that the metals wouldn't immediately corrode away. c)it was far enough away from Cybertron that the Con's wouldn't find it right away.

I already went over that one. Basically, planets with high amounts of naturally-occurring Energon (Like Earth) were chosen to act as "Safety Deposit Planets" in case of emergencies, to store critical artifacts and weapons. It's why the Iacon Archives had a great big map detailing where a good number of artifacts were. (Like Solus Prime's hammer, an artifact of the Original 13)
Also the atmosphere couldn't have been taken into account, it's already been shown that Cybertron and Earth do not have similar atmospheres.
Foxbear wrote:But by similar I meant your basic mix of transparent non-metal eating gasses. ie Earth and Cybertron have "similar" atmosphere compared to say Jupiter or Venus. Don't want to drop anything important on a rock if giant storms or corrosives make it impossible to retrieve.

People say he's colored like Depth Charge.Shadowman wrote:For some reason, every time I see him, I can't help but think of Beast Wars.
He's a rebel and a former black ops soldier. He doesn't fully respect the rules authority.Shadowman wrote:-Wheeljack doesn't like Optimus, and doesn't recognize him as leader. Which is weird, because as a Prime, that makes Optimus the boss of everyone who isn't a Decepticon.
He'll probably come and go as he pleases, but staying on Earth and using the base as his, well, home base.Shadowman wrote:-Well, the 'cons have a new member, and the 'bots may or may not be keeping Wheeljack; they finally convinced him to stay on Earth, but I don't know if they managed to convince him to stay at the base.

Yeah, except black operations soldiers still recognize authority and insubordination isn't something they're just allowed to do. Especially with the sensitive nature of black ops, you are most certainly not allowed to just flip off your Commander in Chief then go off and indulge in a revenge plot.

Optimus Prime is his Commander in Chief, being a Prime puts him above everyone except Primus. The chain of command doesn't work based on whether or not you think someone is higher up than you, or, if they are, that the validity of their orders are based entirely on how much you respect them.
I know that he's over it and he actually has a respect for Optimus, I'm just saying, running black ops and having a dislike of your superiors doesn't mean you can just run off and directly contradict them.
