Smokescreen is so Cheetor in a chassis.
Nice going, Smokey. Didn't the Bots teach you not to transform in front of the locals? (If not, then that was dumb of them.)
Optimus: "Perhaps the best way for you to learn about the human world, is from a human."
Arcee: "Smokescreen gets his own partner?"
Ratchet: "Puh-leeze! Isn't having three humans here enough?!"
Everyone: "
"
Hey! Arcee says Fowler's relocating Raf's family since the Cons found out where he lives! That's some good thinking.
It's Guy Gardn-er, I mean Vince. Didn't expect to see him again.
LOL at the fast-food prank on Vince's car.
Soundwave's decoded the next Iacon relic location, and Megatron's got plans for a decoy.
Bulkhead's going out on the mission. Guess he's fully recovered.
I LOVE the facial expressions animated on Megatron's face when he first sees the unearthed relic and states that it mustn't fall into Autobot hands. It's rare that a Megatron would show such genuine concern as seen on this Megs' face in that scene.
Unsurprisingly, the relic can only be removed by a Prime, and has rendered the surrounding rock its encased in impermeable.
Jack: "I just pulled a Miko."
It'd actually be kinda funny if Smokescreen were Hot Shot instead and able to pull out the Star Saber due to his future Rodimus status.
Or, wait! What if
Jack could remove it?!
Optimus is totally Spider-Man minus the web-slinging.
Prime's holding on to the sword. but can he pull it out? Especially while dangling from miles above and taking heavy laser fire?
Looks like... Yes! He's got it! After
eons of searching, dreaming, and hoping, the Star Saber has FINALLY come into the possession of Optimus Prime!
Everyone;'s reactions to Optimus slicing the mountain in half are priceless.
DUDE! Prime just struck the Nemesis with an energy slash!
Smokescreen: "He can do that?" LOL
Megatron: "We Decepticons now face our Darkest Hour."
Arcee's not too pleased with Smokescreen taking Jack into battle with him.
Nor is Optimus. Yikes.
The sword's reacting to Optimus's words of wisdom.
No wait. It's communicating with him, sending him a message... from Alpha Trion (not Prima, but still cool).
Frank Welker voiced the truck driver? I thought it was Kevin Michael Richardson again.
FINALLY! An episode worthy to call fantastic! This is the kind of episode that I've been waiting for for so long, and how the show should have been long before now. It was amazing. Smokescreen just adds so much love to this show, and the greater lore-based aspect added by the Prima Star Saber just took things up to the eleven. I think even the music got superbly more wonderful in this episode, and it brings Optimus Prime's eons-long quest for the legendary sword to a close. And what's more, it opens up a whole new window to so much more with the sword enabling Alpha Trion to mentally contact Optimus with a message. So much of this episode felt like it was written with the mindset of the 3H/Fun Pub Transformers fiction, which was chock full of this lore-based goodness that it leaves me just oozing for more. Hands down the greatest episode of season 2 thus far.
Next week, Megatron gets the Forge of Solus Prime working for himself, and makes a sword to counter the Star Saber.
