Oh no no no, I interpreted that correctly, it was very obviously meant to be an insult to the writers.
The moment I read your first comment I've seen on this board I knew you hated the show and only watched it because you had too much time and love to pile hate on something other people enjoy. You're not the first to do this, nor will you be the last.
And nope, that wasn't a counter argument, notice that in order for it to be a counter argument I would have to bring up an argument you made and then bring up a different view point to counter yours. All I did was point out how stupid your post is and how you're wasting your time.
*This entire series was incapable of telling its' own story without hamstringing its' own continuity past, and the whole series has erased 'lore' in order to provide 'lore' for no good reason other than inability of the writers to conform with the work of other writers working in the same continuity, let alone the idea that this continuity would be a "platform for all TF fans of all [eras] to be able to [meet and move forward] on together".
The idea that this episode closed and opened plot threads is a matter of illusion when you look at what the series closed off permanently in order to be competent enough to tell the story it is now telling.It was going to open and close plot threads anyway no matter who wrote it and whether or not zombies were in it.
What "lore" has it erased exactly?
Cartoon G1? Marvel G1? Marvel UK G1? Beast Wars? RID? Unicron Trilogy? Dreamwave G1? Animated? Movies?
Guess what all that still exists, especially G1 which currently has 4 ongoing comics, a miniseries and boat loads of new toys in the form of most of the 30th anniversary Generations line, Masterpieces and reissues of the original super dated toys.
Or do you mean Aligned? As in this show doesn't quite add up to the novels and the games? Because if it's that, guess what - this show has been longer in production that any of those, War for Cybertron for instance was originally intended by the creators to be a version of G1, it was later int he production that Hasbro told them to rework it as a prequel to Prime.
And if you're going to fault the show for not being 100 per cent consistent with the crappy Novels by Alex Irvin, well then
Alex Irvin is such a crappy writer he can't even keep one book consistent with itself. Let alone write compelling enough to make you overlook the inconsistencies. Well, unless one has the short-term memory of a goldfish and forgets what happened just two pages ago.

Yea, decided the quote was too long so I boiled it down to its core.
Sexuality, is not a choice. One does not decide to be gay or straight, just like one does not decide to be white, black, Asian or middle eastern. It doesn't work that way, if Knock-Out does get revealed as actually being gay, he would have been "created" that way.
So no need to worry, your sons won't become gay from watching a cartoon in which a character is gay from birth, the only way they'll be gay is if they already are gay.
But going by your logic of homosexuality being a "life-choice", wouldn't a cartoon in which a character says he's gay because he wants to be gay not be the real "threat", since then he could become a role model and influence them into taking on his decisions?
(But that is what I would expect from a Pretender whose shell seems to be based off a 70s porn-star.)
What?
