On Transformers: Prime Episode 8: Con Job, Wheeljack made his cartoon debut victoriously defeated the Decepticon spy, Makeshift. After Wheeljack's victory, Optimus Prime asked him to stay, but sadly, Wheeljack must go back to Cybertron. Is it possible that Wheeljack may return for a much bigger role, so that there is a chance that he'll get an action figure in the Transformers: Prime toyline?

It has now been officially confirmed that Breakdown will be making his long waited return to the Transformers universe for the second time in the Prime series in his original G1 personality but with a brand new body and face with a different color scheme. He will be making his first appearance in Episode 10: Deus Ex Machina to brawl against his main rival, Bulkhead. During that time of his first cartoon appearance, will his vehicle mode be finally shown on TV? If so, what will it look like, according to his robot mode?

This was officially confirmed ages ago.

I dunno, let me find my crystal ball...

No, he decided to keep wandering. he never said anything about going back to Cybertron which is, last we saw it, now experiencing a Zombie Apocalypse.

"They're called Terrorcons!" I'll call them that when they stop being Zombies.

All signs point to...maybe. He's likely going to get a toy, at least, knowing this franchise. Several characters in Animated got toys, despite only appearing very briefly in one episode. (You know the ones I mean)

Next weekend, Transformers: Prime will be airing a new episode called, "Deus Ex Machina". This is where Bulkhead meets Breakdown for the very first time. And when they do, it is quite possible that they will engage in some type of no-holds barred wrestling match. Should this is going to happen, who do you think will be victorious? I'm sure it may be Breakdown, but that's just my own way of thinking.

Not trying to sound offensive, but why do tend to ask questions that no one can ever really give a solid answer to?

I say the Autobots will win, but that's just my way of thinking, which includes pattern recognition. How often do the Autobots lose?

In Generation One, Breakdown's vehicle mode contains an engine that allows him to cause mechanical failures in his enemies. Will Breakdown have this type of same special powers in the Prime series, just like the Breakdown back in Generation One?

At this point I agree with Sabrblade:

Episode 9 -

Fowler once again proves his awesomeness by trying to take on Decepticons by himself (even though it was off screen... and he lost... again).

Fowler: "That's the one! The 'Con who shot me down! Who is he? Wingnut? Dingbat? Skyguy?" - :lol:

The guy's name is Silas, leader of terrorist group MECH.

Vehicon Seekers at 6 o' clock!

It would seem the existence of Transformers on Earth is not only a government secret, but a rumor known only to a select few.

Prime's trailer can fold down (or could, until it was destroyed) into a flatbed configuration.

Retreat? I mean, sure, Silas' men will most undoubted lose, but they don't even attempt to make a stand against Optimus? Where's their courage?... Wait! What am I saying?! Silas is being a smart villain by ordering a retreat! He's thinking with his head instead of his ambition. He knows that there will be other chances in the future, and now that he's witnessed what the Autobots are capable of, he'll be able to be more prepared to face them next time.

Next week, Breakdown returns (finally!) and the Energon Harvester looks nothing like the one from the ROTF movie (it's a small orange sphere that looks like one of the Green Goblin's bombs from the Spider-Man movie).

I been thinking that MECH is like M.E.C.H. meaning Mechanized, Evolutionary, Combative, Humans.

I liked this episode it was good looking forward to Dues EX Machina told you all that it was going to be in Greece weeks ago.

They use the Ground Bridge to go all over the Globe so expect future episodes to feature more international missions.

Also Silas scanned Optimus I see another deal with M.E.C.H
Silas said to open you up and see what makes you tick. See a future episode with this in the future.

The Autobots are vastly outnumbered now not only do they have to deal with the Cons now they have MECH.

You've no proof that that's what it stands for.

Deus ex Machina. It's a foreign word. "Dues" is not right.

And, who really cares who said what when? It's not a credibility race. It just makes you sound like a snob and we don't want anyone turning into a snob.

As if that's anything new?

Thank you, Captain Obvious. :roll:

I know this is an abrupt change of subject and I apologize, but I was wondering what happened to that Sierra girl in the first episode that Jack so clearly had the hots for. That seems like an interesting doorway into the grey area between his boring teenager life and 'secret superhero in the shadow of the Autobots' life. Can anyone else imagine the hilarity that might ensue if he arranged a date that turned out to take place in a Decepticon hotspot?

Cheesy of me to wonder, I'm sorry. #-o

This series just keeps getting better and better! It gave me exactly what I wanted in this episode! It delves into the darkness of humanity! Human Decepticons! Yes!!! This is my kind of TF show! HELLZ YEAH! I still like Animated a bit more though, still.

No worries. It's not uncommon for side characters to just disappear into obscurity. There is always the chance for her to show up again, though. It'd make for some interesting drama between her, Jack, and Miko.

Then again, this show is supposed to be bot-centric, so... you never know.

I hope not. I prefer it to just be giant robots and explosions. We don't need more humans. 3 is enough. Or 4.

That was Earth technology. Ratchet even remarked how "primitive" it is.

Yeah, and at the end of the episode, they had their eyes on Cybertronian tech.

Oh yeah. That. Right. :oops:

And with Clancy Brown's voice to boot! Why hasn't he ever been used in Transformers yet?! His voice is amazing! =P~

....

The maguffin's name is Dingus. lolwut?

Here are my issues.

1) Haven't we seen Sooper Sekrit Human Organization Out To Rule The World Suddenly Interested in Cybertronian Tech before? Machination? The Initiative (Yes, I suffered through Nefarious. Such is my devotion to my robots), the on-again-off-again hatemance of Skywatch? Seriously, Orci/Kurtzman? First Driftjack and now this? Are y'all even capable of original thought?

MAJOR concern:

2) These Mech idiots (OH I can't wait to hear what the acronym stands for!) upstaged a Decepticon assault. I reaaaaaaaally am in dread fear that they become more of an ongoing villain than, ya know, the actual Decepticons.

I'm really wanting to like this series, honestly, and...every week bit by bit they're kind of eroding my affection.

HK, not even any homage Furmanisms.

They may not be, but that's completely irrelevant since they aren't writing this show. They're executive producers, you see, they're no more responsible than what you think is bad writing than Spielberg is responsible for any of the faults in the movies.

Helluva lot better than Professor Princess.

You want them to have an original thought or not? Furmanisms are, by definition, not an original thought.

As Shadowman said, these evil squishies are a lot better than the Animated evil squishies.

by **JetOptimus23** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 1:17 am

Well, Starscream didn't ask anyone to bow this time at least. :lol:

MECH is kind of a stupid name for an evil organization. And Dingus just sounds like somethig dirty... huh huh huh, Dingus. (You just read that in Butthead's voice)

Well, things are certainly getting interesting.

by **Scourgescream** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 4:15 am

That was a quality episode, This series is really hitting high.

I doubt that M.E.C.H is going to replace the Decepticons, just be an additional threat. I imagine they only upstaged the Cons in this episode to get across the threat they show.

I could do without any more human kids thrown into the mix to be honest. So let Jacks love interest be that one episode deal.
