Er.. If it's racist, it's targeting someone based on their ethnic background, and making generalisations based on it. So someone is being offended, always.


But, back on topic: when are the new episodes starting again?

Most of the time? :P

Most of her faults come from her lack of wisdom and better judgement, not her lack of clarity or logic.

The problem with this edit is that it made her change the subject of the conversation with no lead into her change in topic, as well as for her sentence being structured as a follow up to the new topic that was cut out and thus absent here.

It's now like if this conversation happened between to people:

Person A: "Excuse me, do you have the time?"
Person B: "Silver coin? Smaller than a penny?"

The way Person B's sentence is structured implies that a sentence like "Do I have a dime?" was first spoken by Person B, which made Person A respond with confusion, before Person B spoke his above sentence to clarify what he meant by his reactionary inquiry.

It's a grammar/syntax thing. :-B

What's worse is that I didn't have access to the usual means in which I conduct these comparisons at the time I compared episode 23, so the more difficult means that I had to use then made the experience even more troublesome than normal. :BANG_HEAD:

Va'al wrote:But, back on topic: when are the new episodes starting again?
Episode 57 airs May 17th. The Autobits reruns are still airing (which reminds me, I need to jot down the Autobits that aired last Friday. Hope to have them up at some time tomorrow).

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."
Weapon: Saber Blade
Autobits from last Friday's airing of episode 54:

* Sounds like someone read a lot of Mark Twain when he was stranded on Cybertron.

* Cliffjumper became Arcee's partner when they landed on Earth. In season one, Starscream turned him into a Terrorcon using Dark Energon.

* The Sea of Rust isn't the best place to try surfing for the first time. The wipeouts are brutal.

* Someone's got some 'splainin' to do.

* If Decepticons were capable of sweating, Starscream would be soaked right about now.

* A dislocated landing gear can sideline a Decepticon for an entire season.

* Megatron is very big on org charts.

* Jack hasn't worked many shifts at the K/O Drive-In since the Decepticons blew up Jasper.

* Arcee's Autobot yoga regimen includes such positions as the "Downward-Facing Bot" and the "Half Rotors Pose".

* 7 Autobots + 3 Humans X 100 = 1000 Decepticons.

* Just in time for the reunion tour.

* This photo of Ratchet is based on the infamous--and ultimately fake -- home movie of Bigfoot filmed by Roger Patterson in 1967.

* Megatron's citadel is reportedly one of the largest polluters in the state of Nevada.

* Toptimus Primate.

* A good way to clean up Autobot fluid spill? Kitty litter. It's very absorbent.

* The Wreckers are an Autobot commando unit, often called on when there's nothing to lose. Definitely more 'doers' than 'thinkers'.

* A Cortical-Psychic Patch allows a Transformer to extract information from another Transformer's memories. At least that's what it's supposed to do.

* And you know: Whoever smelt it, dealt it.

* 'Screamy' may have been Starscream's nickname at Con Scout Camp when he was a kid.

* Falling is really just flying downward and out of control.

* Shockwave just totally sold Starscream out.

* Starscream's tracking devices also come in blue, red, and other fashionable colors. Perfect for any outfit.

* If Ratchet doesn't power down for at least eight hours every night he's very cranky in the morning. Then again, he's cranky most of the time.

* Har-Bin-Ger - Noun (Här-Ben-Jer): One that presages or foreshadows what is to come. In many cases of doom.

* Stalactites "hold tight" to the ceiling. Stalagmites "might" grow taller from the ground over time.

* Combing through microns is extremely time intensive. They're very small.

* The Forge of Solus Prime is a Cybertronian artifact that can only be wielded by a Prime.

* Early morning dew often leaves dirty spots on Autobots when it evaporates.

* Wheeljack's engine hums because it doesn't know the words.

* That might leave a dent.

* As far as Wheeljack is concerned, Miko earned an official spot with the Wreckers when she went head to head with Hardshell, the Insecticon.

* If you find yourself with a dimwit, it might be time to change the bulb.

* Sudden landings on hard ground really do a number on Decepticon knees.

* Say 'toy boat' five times fast. Harder than you thought, huh?

* This is why you should always give Wheeljack good treats on Halloween.

* Hope he washed his hands after that.

* Raf is also Jasper, Nevada's resident dance video game expert.

* Transducers convert one form of energy to another. Straight energon has quite a kick.

* Optimus gave Jack the Key to Vector Sigma back in season one. That's when we learned that Earth formed with a sleeping Unicron at its core. He didn't like being woken up.

* Ultra Magnus has been a powerful Autobot lieutenant since the original Transformers series in the 80's.

* This is CNA, the Cybertronian version of DNA.

* All Cybertronian life, down to the smallest Scraplet, is encoded with CNA.

* Shockwave's discovery is quite a bit larger than a Scraplet.

I kinda wish they'd make less quips and put in more actual information.

Also I don't know what most of those quips are referring to.

Crackpot Theory Time.
bare with me here...

Grimwing, right?

OK. What we know- Predacon with warrior and honor bound tendencies, seems to want to keep his species in check long enough for them to be destroyed.

The Theory.
Givin the nature of Shockwave's experiments and the need for more Predacons, it could be possible to use fossil CNA and the body and CNA structure of the remains of Dreadwing to create Grimwing,

It goes the way of Transmetal Dinobot from then on. His memories start seeping through and his Nobility and Honor return over time.

Grimwing even looks like Dreadwing...

I know it probably won't happen on screen, and the deluxe figure complicates things kind of, but what if?

Too much exposition makes the script boring. Without the quips, all you have left are backstory and status updates.

Well, then use the ice spells/whip/sword/Persona.

And if that doesn't work use Flare for neutral hit.

Well it's not really a cliche, but it is obvious. Obvious doesn't mean "bad" though, I mean, if they did call him Primal, I wouldn't have brought it up.

Actually Starscream simply killed Cliff. It was Megatron who made a Terrorcon out of Cliffjumper.

That's nicely put. And how true...

Don't tell me. I didn't write it (just transcribed it).

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."
Weapon: Saber Blade
Tonight's Autobits from episode 55:

* Including the body, face, head, wings, and tail, the CG model of this Predacon has 446 moving parts.

* Each and every Cybertronian possesses a "spark": It is their lifeforce.

* Shockwave is like the Predacon Whisperer.

* The Predacon can trach Wheeljack through the Autobot's spilled energon.

* This Predacon's wingspan is 460 feet long.

* That's equal to sixteen Optimus Primes laying head to foot.

* If your jaw clicks 500 times a day you should see a doctor. -- [a joke about how Bulkhead said that anyone within 500 clicks from his, Miko's, and Jackie's position would be able to see the explosion created by blowing up the energon mine they were planning to blow.]

* Autobots aren't very good at updating their social media status. -- [referring to the difficulty Raf/Ratchet/Bee would have at locating their compatriots. Also, this particular Autobit had a glitch in it, changing its setup after the first frame or two. Initially, it was setup like this:
Autobots aren't very
good at updating their
social media status.
A second later, it switched to this:
Autobots aren't very
good at updating
their social media
status.


* There's nothing quite like getting shut down by an Autobot. Even if it is verbally. -- [referring to Jack's offense at being called a "native lifeform" and told to watch his tone by Ultra Magnus]

* Oddly enough, the book Ultra Magnus goes by is "War of the Worlds". -- [Arcee referred to Magnus as being "very by-the-book".]

* The Omega Beam is what made Jasper uninhabitable at the end of season two.

* Say the magic word. -- [Jack: "Sir!"]

* Marco. Polo. -- [Smokescreen phased/rose out of the Earth, Marco Polo-style (as in the game)]

* When at the beach, Megatron often keeps his valuables tucked in the bottom of a sneaker. -- [Smokescreen suspected Megatron still keeps his valuables "in the usual place".]

* That's Megatron's ship, the Nemesis.

* Before his citadel was built it was his primary base of operations.

* Even advanced lifeforms like Decepticons need to vent about their jobs every now and then. -- [Starscream was going on to Knock Out about how he suspects Shockwave is trying to usurp him]

* Airachnid was lured into an Insecticon Stasis Pod by Arcee in season 2.

* Megatron keeps her frozen as a trophy for trying to overthrow him.

* Munitions should usually be planted in direct sunlight and watered every other day. -- [Bulkhead: "Munitions planted."]

* Gesundheit -- [Predaking's fire breath]

* This Predacon gives new meaning to the words 'hot wings'.

* That's either a rock or a hard place, or both. -- [Wheeljack got swung into a large boulder]

* And yet the Bulkhead is still so cool. -- [Bulkhead: "Easy. I may be hot to the touch."]

* Fire in the hole.

* Think that button doubles as a garage door opener? -- [the button on Wheeljack's detonator]

* Miko's referencing the classic folk song "Puff the Magic Dragon." -- ["Snuff the tragic dragon"]

* Toast actually requires a comparatively cooler heat source. -- [Miko: "We're toast."]

* Everything looks cooler when it's backlit. -- [Predaking was backlit by the Moon in one shot]

* This gives new meaning to the phrase "I've got a ride picking me up."

* Ultra Magnus is really pushing the whole "Sir" thing, huh?

* Those smoke trails behind Ultra Magnus' ship are actually just air heated to steam by his engines. Our jet planes do the same thing.

* It's hard to pick out cloud animals when you're flying that fast.

* we are experiencing slight turbulence. Please fasten your seatbelts. -- [Predaking's fire blast hit Magnus' ship]

* They kind of look like a huge version of Soundwave and Laserbeak. -- [regarding Predaking riding on Magnus' ship]

* Where's the barf bag!? -- [Miko was about to hurl]

* He may be a huge Cybertronian dragon, but he's gonna have a heck of a headache in the morning.

* And you thought he was angry before! -- [Predaking is not happy about being clobbered on the head and buried in rocks]

* Wonder if Ratchet has Fowler on speed dial.

* He must have gone through a tunnel. -- Ratchet's call to Fowler was suddenly cut off.

* You've got to give it to Raf. His hair gel is holding up great. -- [Raf's hair is barely affected by the wind generated by Magnus' ship landing]

* Funny, in the orginal Transformers series, Arcee was, in fact, bright pink -- [regarding Arcee's distaste for the idea of her being colored pink]

* Teenagers are a part of a complete robo-dragon breakfast. --[Miko remarked how the "robo-dragon" was trying to eat them "for breakfast"]

* Hey, they have names. -- [Magnus once again used the term "native lifeform", this time towards Fowler]

* Sir!

* The Forge of Solus Prime can create almost any type of object, but only the All Spark can create new life.

* The Omega Lock holds the last hope of restoring Cybertron to its original glory.

* ...Said the Autobot with huge shoulders of his own. -- [Wheeljack: "Whoa, who put Shoulder Pads in command?"]

* In the original movie, Optimus chose Ultra Magnus to succeed him as the next Prime. The Matrix of Leadership chose differently.

* Say wha? -- [regarding Optimus saying the next leader ought to be Smokescreen]
