To be fair, we'd probably get no better treatment for these things if this were one of the live action Bay movies.Henry921 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The more I think about it, the more this movie feels, to me, like a sort of response to all the fanboy wishes for future live action movies.
(INSERT VERY LENGTHY LIST HERE)
That's a fair point. It does seem like fanboy wish fulfillment. That's probably why this film felt so horribly rushed... there were a few too many disparate elements crammed in. I like seeing multiple factions doing battle, but having Shockwave and Starscream building a new Predacon army, Predaking being recruited by the Autobots, and Unicron Megs building an undead army meant that we rushed through an entire season's worth of interesting plots and characterizations in roughly three episodes' time. In trying to give us everything we wanted AND resolve lingering plot threads, Predacons Rising didn't have much in the way of breathing room or dramatic tension.
And some characters got A LOT more resolution than others as a result. So, some of the Steves joined the Autobots in rebuilding Cybertron and some didn't? What's up with that?
Not to mention, when it comes to faction... changing your allegiance doesn't take much effort, as Darksteel, SkyLynx, and Knock Out apparently confirm their new alliances and then SAY NOTHING ELSE FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE. Argh.

My best guess is that he's likely still alive but was too out of shape to continue the fight, and so convinced the Predacons to fight so he wouldn't have to. As for what happened to him, they might have left that (and lots of things) open for future authors to use in later installments to this continuity.Henry921 wrote:More than anything else though... what happened to Shockwave? Where did he go to, and what villainy does he have left to do? I mean, the guy's characterization is a bit intentionally flat, but in other Aligned continuity sources he does plot to rule Cybertron himself, so logically...

Guess I have to wait. All I ask is, was it good? Like, are all questions answered? Or did it leave stuff up in the air?
Bummer. If you have a library card, I'd suggest taking a visit to the local library to use one of their PCs to stream it.BeastProwl wrote:Sucks being on the PS3 browser.

Rumor has it that her story might be furthered in the Prime Beast Hunters comics, with "Thirst" being her exit from the show and a means to introduce her into the comics.TurboMMaster wrote:Airanhid essentialy suffers fate worse then death.

Q: Are the Vehicons drones or individuals?
A: A little bit of both. They are clones. They tried to suggest this in the show, but were probably too subtle on the matter. When Starscream went into a lab and found the protoforms, the faceplates of these protoforms were similar to the Vehicons, as a suggestion on the Vehicons' origins. But the treatment of the Vehicons has evolved over the course of the show to where they could be seen as both.

And what happened with Starscream's Aramda? And why they ingored Primus entirely?BeastProwl wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Like what, for instance?BeastProwl wrote:But there are WAY to many unanswered questions.
were did shackwave go?
what's airachnid planning?
is starscream really dead?
is optimus really dead?
will soundwave ever escape the phantom zone?
what's your favorite color?
Who? The Jet Vehicon Generals? Well, where they went is about as important as where they were prior to their first appearance in episode 52. But since they didn't bother to answer that, an answer for this is likely not to be given either.TurboMMaster wrote:And what happened with Starscream's Aramda? And why they ingored Primus entirely?
Do you mean he doesn't ever die in this show, or in any show? If you meant in this show, then yep. But if you meant in any series, he died for good in Animated.TurboMMaster wrote:And Starscream is not dead... He don't die at any point of series, a proper question is "How long Starscream survived after he's final scene?"

It seems odd to me that the creators would say that they're out of ideas, yet they left several unresolved plot threads: Airachnid and the Insecticons; Megatron's current whereabouts; the children on Earth.
And on top of that, WHERE ARE THE DINOBOTS? Wasn't Gregg Berger supposed to have role in this show somewhere?
Not to mention Shockwave went down like a punk, and Meg's doesn't quit being a badass like that.
I don't know, guys. Are my claims justified or not? Am I just bitter?

On Cybertron. Dealing with their own events. In their own comic series. That is how the writers decided to introduce them into the show's universe, via their own comic set within said universe.Nemesis Maximo wrote:And on top of that, WHERE ARE THE DINOBOTS?
No, that was misinterpretation the fandom made of something Nolan North once said. North had given an interview in which he remarked how cool it was to be working alongside Peter Cullen and Gregg Berger. At the time, it was known that North would be playing Smokescreen in the Prime cartoon, and so fans assumed that he was referring to that, suggesting that Gregg Berger would be having a voice role on the show.Nemesis Maximo wrote:Wasn't Gregg Berger supposed to have role in this show somewhere?
