You know I completely forgot about Bombshell he was one of those Decepticons that really didn't stand out during G1 (aside from being a giant bug robot). makes me wonder if we'll get any good insecticons this time.

[Shadowman]

The Insecticons probably didn't stand out because they were three characters in a massive cast. You can't give a character proper focus with such a big cast. That's why, from Beast Wars forward, they had much smaller casts, so each character can get their fair share of screen time.

[Sabrblade]

Okay, I get what you're saying with the first part; crazy scientist who experiments on his own troops. Not too different from what Shockwave did with Trypticon in Exodus.

Am I to take this as meaning that you have gotten around to reading Exodus?

I ask because (as I've stated elsewhere on this forum), I'm working on a massive project centered around the continuity of the Exodus book and am almost done. Since you're a big continuity fan, I figured you'd be interested in this project, though it deals with a LOT of spoilers to those who haven't read the book or experienced the other series mentioned in this project.

Ah, nope, this is just what I've heard.

Ah, darn it. I was hoping you had by now.

Then I guess my project will contain a plethora of spoilers for you, then.

I love prime so far who care if Megatron hasnt came out of his comotase state or out of stasis.

They are saving that for a future multipart episode more than likely a season ender.

Like with Animated how they done with Megatron on that deal.

I like these new characters also like how they made Wheel Jack old but newer cause he wasnt like that in Generation 1 he was more like Ratchet.

I love these new characters like Skyquake, Knockout & Breakdown and the new Female Decipticon looks interesting I say she has a beast form since the episode is called "Predatory".

I have made some cool new characters I think would fit in with Prime tell me if you think these guys will be welcomed into Prime.

Snap Trap, Rapid Fire, Sound Byte, After Blast, Dune Runner, Nightshadow.


Sound Byte would be like Soundwave but he would be an Autobot with the same capabilites as Soundwave think like in Generation 1 they had Blaster to the answer or Soundwave now we have Sound Byte vs. Soundwave.

I am in the works making a new Big Transformer that would be used to haul transformers over long distances this incase of Ground Bridge failure this new Transformer would be used for transport think on terms of Omega Supreme from Generation 1 or Tidal Wave.

Dune Runner is a new Female Autobot she has 3 modes one being an ATV Dune Buggy the other is a Helicopter and then her Robotic mode.

Snap Trap is an animal being an Alligator of sorts.

[Sabrblade]

and the new Female Decipticon looks interesting I say she has a beast form since the episode is called "Predatory".

How could you possibly know if Airachnid is a female, when there has been nothing revealed about this character aside from its name Predacon influence?

[Rodimus2006]

Well they did say that would be new Female Deciption introduced into Prime and since Airahnid is fighting against Arcee I assumed it would be a Female.

I was wondering if you guys no there is another episode listed for Prime Called "Divide & Conquer".

Seems everytime I post news on the episodes someone has beat me to it.

It is like this Predatory, Divide & Conquer then Sick Mind.

Sick Mind to me seems like it has something to do with M.E.C.H. my educated guess from Silas last coment about opening up Optimus and seing what makes him tick.

Either that or a new Transformer that can control minds like Mindwipe in G1 the bat from Rebirth.

[Sabrblade]

Well they did say that would be new Female Deciption introduced into Prime and since Airahnid is fighting against Arcee I assumed it would be a Female.

What does fighting against Arcee matter? Lots of Decepticons fought her. That doesn't make any of them female.

Besides, they said that the female Con was to come much later on. Next episode is too soon.

I was wondering if you guys no there is another episode listed for Prime Called "Divide & Conquer".

Yep, that's episode 13.

Seems everytime I post news on the episodes someone has beat me to it.

Is that really such a bad thing? I mean, sites like these have far more access to TF news resources than we ordinary fans do.

[Rodimus2006]

Who care if Airchanid male or female lets just hope that they dont kill the character off like with SkyQuake.

I was hoping SkyQuake would have a bigger impact he could have made an escape into space and came back into the season 1 season finale.

Like with the Season 2 & S3 endings for Animated were all the new characters were shown and had a big battle.

They should have all the characters saved for a special moment like those like when the Seekers in Animated Attacked Omega.

This sucks all these characters are could be used for special moments like those in Animated instead of killing them off.

They could meet in Space like at another space bridge or a key place in space then continue into the next season since season 1 more than likely will have a huge cliff hanger moment.

The thing i am looking forward to the most is Megatron's return how will he be brought back and what will bring him back or who will fix him back and how will Starscream react and will Megatron exile him like in previous transformers.

[Rodimus2006]

2 more new characters I made Battlebreaker or should I call him BattleBrawler and another character called Silverstreak.

[Sabrblade]

and another character called Silverstreak.

...so you're basically using Bluestreak's alternate name, right?

[Rodimus2006]

No nothing similar between Silverstreak & Bluestreak even though the names are similar however they are nothing alike as Silvestreak is a Female Animal Bot and Bluestreak is in Generation 1 and was a sportscar of sorts.

Just cause some of these characters share similar namesakes I do take into account previous characters or toy line characters check and make sure my characters arent already used or a cheap copy of other characters.

Sound Byte isnt like Soundwave and dosent look anything like Soundwave if my character was to be in Prime. Sound Byte is a recon bot similar towards Soundwave's cabapilites he is the Autobot's Answer to Soundwave but he dosent look like Soundwave.

As my character Moon Beam may seem similar towards Sideways or Punch from Rebirth this character isnt. But it dose share some of those capabilites such as Changing its team but this character takes it up a notch and can also change its gender for extra confusion to the enemies this bot is a expert in stealth and is a ninja master sort like Prowl in Animated.

Right now I am in the process of making a new combiner called Crimson Maurader sort on the terms of like Bruticus Maximus or Superion Maximus in Energon he will be like those in Energon.

I am also trying to make a new Transformer that could be used to haul long distance incase of Ground Bridge Failure.
Similar to Tidalwave in Armada, Astro Train in G1 or Omega Supreme but would not be like those in terms of looks.

[SlyTF1]

Does it come back on this Friday, or am I just wasting my life?

[Shadowman]

Does it come back on this Friday, or am I just wasting my life?

The episode Con Job is repeating tomorrow Friday--WHAT DAY IS IT, and yes, you are wasting your life.

EDIT: because I'm no good with calenders.

[Rodimus2006]

No the new episodes begin on April 8th right now they are just showing us re runs from Scrapheap and up the 1st new one is Speed Metal I think.

[FanimusMaximus]

Knockout and Brakedown are the best duo since Lugnut and Blitzwing...I'm just saying.

[Rodimus2006]

Yes I think they are a great duo as one is cocky the other is catuios.

I hope in Prime we get to see more new duos like Breakdown & Knockout.

I made my own new duo check it out Countdown & Windcutter.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Perhaps but she IS the most annoying in this series!

That may be, but she's still far from the most annoying human in the franchise. She's still ahead of Kicker, Daniel, and the Armada kids.

Well we were not discussing who is the most annoying character (human or TF) in the "entire" TF series, just who was the most annoying in this series, Prime.

As for Kicker IMO at the very least he did bring some tactical value and grew a pair. So far Miko is useless, she has shown she is nothing more than an simple-minded, impulsive, and ungrateful ditz. She acts more like a pet monkey just acting without thinking about anyone else. Don't hate her, just feel she does not remotely bring any real value to the team; the show would move along nicely without her.

Really looking forward to the series resuming asap. Hoping Starscream will finally present a real threat to humanity and the Autobots alike.

Yeah, it's not like she helped steal an Energon Harvester or anything...

Also, good news and bad news.

Bad news: There's no new episode of Transformers: Prime tonight.

Good news: There is a new episode of Transformers: Prime tomorrow night.

1. She did help to steal it, but she was the only one caught. Then again she didn't lose it. Who can blame Jack and Raf? It was taken by a Decepticon. They're lucky to be alive! (Even if it was Soundwave).

2. (-skip-)

3. Aww. Oh well...

4. Yes! Finally! After that long hiatus it's good to get somethin' new from TFP again.

[SlyTF1]

I'm watching the new episode now, and there are way too many freaking new humans. There hasn't been a single robot mode YET. So far there have been 4 humans. This is a crime. It's a crime against humanity and it must be punished as such.

At least in Animated the humans had purpose, and didn't take up most of the screen time of the show.

Oh, now we see a dead Megatron, that's good. Oh,and other Decepticons 9 minutes into the freaking episode!!! I'm going to bed.

YES! The kid just died! THANK YOU KNOCKOUT!

WHat!? He didn't die! Damn you Optimus, damn you!!!

[Rodimus2006]

So Far I like this episode better than last one's such as Scrap Heap with the Scrap Metals which was a god awful episode.

I do agree they are focusing way to much on the Human Element when the makers of Prime said that Humans would be a big factor in Prime.

But here we are were the Humans are taking up all the screen time.

But I reserve judgement as Prime is still early going we dont know what future episodes will bring us there could be new episode's were the humans wont even be in it.

I like Knockout & Break Down I hope they Bring Megatron Back in some way then team up with Megatron cause it clearly obvious that the duo are loyal to Megs not to Starscream.

I made my own new duo team Twin Barrel & Flash Cannon.

Also Thunderslicer & Rip Claw.

[Shadowman]

-Missed the first five minutes. So...yeah.

-What is up with this kid's voice? There's something off about it. he kind of sounds like Ratchet in a few aspects, too.

-Oh hey, Knock Out and Breakdown are back. Wasn't expecting them so soon.

-Starscream can't keep the other 'cons in line. Knock Out and Breakdown still see Megatron as the true leader. Why hasn't Starscream finished him off yet?

-I thought this was going to be an Arcee episode, but they take that away from me yet again.

-Anyone notice Ratchet is missing in this episode?

-When Optimus tears off Knock Out's door, he screams in pain. Nice touch, really adds to the darkness of this series.

-Breakdown continues to be badass, which I suspect has to do with being voiced by Adam "The Hero of Canton" Baldwin. Right up until Bulkhead goes all "Hulk Ultimate Destruction" on him, anyway.

-When Knock Out was reporting to Starscream at the end, I thought "You know, if Megatron had so many disobedient soldiers, he'd just start hurting them until they fell in line." Cue Starscream inflicting pain on Knock Out. I'm assuming he'll have some kind of facial scar next week.

At least in Animated the humans had purpose, and didn't take up most of the screen time of the show.

Yeah, as either the kid holding the MacGuffin, or as the massively annoying human villain taking screen time away from the Decepticons.

WHat!? He didn't die! Damn you Optimus, damn you!!!

Unless we're talking about Shattered Glass, Optimus has a tendency to keep innocent life alive as much as he possibly can...MECH isn't innocent.

[Sabrblade]

Episode 11 -

The guy who says who scratches Knock Out at the beginning sounds an awful lot like Scott McNeil. Could it be...? (*waits eagerly for the end credits*)

I am liking this new sassy Arcee. She's got bearings of chrome steel (and still female).

Is it me, or does Sierra seem less of a jerk in this episode than she did in episode 1? Then again, she's probably just as shallow.

I'm honestly kinda surprised that Miko supports Jack's pursuit of Sierra. Given their history, I'd have figured that Miko would have been a bit jealous. Guess not.

Why is Bulkhead's sense of morality still so simplistic? He's still willing to let innocent humans that also happen to be jerks get killed.

LOL at Raf and Miko channeling William Shatner.

Judging from the end credits, I guess the guy at the beginning was "Fast Willy" who was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. Still, his voice was nigh identical to that of Scott McNeil. If only...

And... there's no promo for Predatory. Darn.

And with this, we got a character-driven episode that inadvertently focused on Knock Out. It's rare that we get an episode emphasizes character development for a Decepticon.

I'm watching the new episode now, and there are way too many freaking new humans. There hasn't been a single robot mode YET. So far there have been 4 humans. This is a crime. It's a crime against humanity and it must be punished as such.

It's sad when one hates his own race. Like I told you before, you want less humans, you should have wished for the Autobots/Decepticons to never come to Earth in the first place. There will always be humans everywhere on this planet. It would be impossible for the bots to never encounter them.

At least in Animated the humans had purpose, and didn't take up most of the screen time of the show.

And Animated had plenty of civilians who weren't main characters either. Yet, you complain about them this time.

Oh, now we see a dead Megatron, that's good.

If we hadn't we never would have gotten any of those great moments of Starscream asserting his leadership and scolding Knock Out for his insubordination.

YES! The kid just died! THANK YOU KNOCKOUT!

WHat!? He didn't die! Damn you Optimus, damn you!!!

Oh, you are so mature.[/sarcasm] Knock Out failed to kill Fast Willy, you expected him to do worse to Vince? From what it sounds like to me, you're a cold, heartless person who takes pleasure in the deaths of his own people.

-Missed the first five minutes. So...yeah.

It'll be on again later tonight.

-Oh hey, Knock Out and Breakdown are back. Wasn't expecting them so soon.

We saw them in the previous promos and episode descriptions.

-Starscream can't keep the other 'cons in line. Knock Out and Breakdown still see Megatron as the true leader. Why hasn't Starscream finished him off yet?

Maybe he's either biding his time, uncertain of Knock Out's medical skills, or trying not to expose his treachery to the other Cons. Or maybe he changed his mind and genuinely wants his leader back... nah.

-I thought this was going to be an Arcee episode, but they take that away from me yet again.

nope. It's a Knock Out episode.

-Anyone notice Ratchet is missing in this episode?

notice and did not care. He's the least endearing of Team Prime.
