Do you mean the star saber? If so the cons still have it.

I was hoping he would have a normal one like this:

Didn't he use his arm blades when he assaulted Darkmount?

Nope he just used his fists and Gatling gun.

You're right I just watched it. Huh I could have sworn he had, I'm going to watch his fight with Shockwave.

Edit. Huh guess I'm just mistaken, he didn't use it in that episode either.

Time will tell I suppose. It would be neat if he ends up having just a regular sword somewhere in his back kibble.

He could have ended the whole shebang if he had used his arm blades when he initial fought megatron at darkmount. The hits he got in that sent megatron into his throne would have been death blows.

Except it's Megatron, so he would have survived with no lasting damage. This is Transformers, after all.

My guess is that deadlock is a reference to a giant musical number.

It's obviously a pun to tell us that Grimlock is dead. :twisted:

Or it's a sign that Drift is coming to suddenly curbstomp every Decepticon like the Gary Stu he's said to be. :P

Now I'm picturing Gregg Berger as Drift. Thanks so much for that. :BOOM:

Though I agree that "Deadlock" probably leads to the Autobots restoring the Omega Lock and restoring Cybertron.

Well airachnid is in the vicinity of Cybertron. With her and her troops being turned into terrozombpires I just can't see them leaving that big a threat as a one off. It's a stretch, but I kinda want to see them again.

I can't recall where I heard this, but someone mentioned that the Prime Beast Hunters comics might be going in a direction that would introduce a sort of "Vampire Queen" in that story, which to me sounds like it Airachnid would very much fit the bill for, thus making her exit from the cartoon in "Thirst" be a means to help bridge a possible introduction for her into the comics to continue her story there. ;)

thats what I was thinking. Megatron mentioned in..."Predaking has a robot mode" (or whatever it was called) that they've lost the majority of their Vehicon forces and the entire Insecticon horde has left. With Decepticon numbers dwindling and the Predacons no longer going to be bolstering their forces, Megatron might find that his forces can no longer hope to out-number or overpower the Autobots. Especially now as it seems everyone in Team Prime is getting along okay. Throw in Predaking and a few survivors from the lab destruction and it could easily end up as a Mechzican Stand-Off.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.
