Probably just an animation error. Most films do that "first-person eyes open to clear vision" view for dramatic effect, so they probably just momentarily forgot about his impaired vision.BeastProwl wrote:Am I the only one who noticed it?

Would love to see were this goes.
Maybe he got boosted somehow?

Erm, let's see... G1 Spike was critically wounded and sent to the ER in the G1 episode "Autobot Spike".JetOptimus23 wrote:Saber, has any TF cartoon put a human in life threatening danger before? No, not comics. Because I was surprised they did that. And unlike if it was...Kicker...i actually cared about Raf...huh. Great episode, greater series...
Some/most of them were like that. Though, some were just using the old "go attack them and try to kill them" method, and somehow ended up the victor.SKYWARPED_128 wrote:As I haven't read the comics and don't recall these episodes of G1 you mentioned, I can't say how they were handled. But as long as they used appropriately sophisticated technology, covert tactics and strategies [targeting weak points like in DOTM] to bring down the TF's in a believable manner, then I have absolutely no problem with it. In other words, using their intelligence instead of throwing their biggest bombs into the AO like in a Godzilla movie.
I wouldn't exactly say that these example quite match that criteria, so we're safe.SKYWARPED_128 wrote:What I meant by "head on" is a small group of humans shooting it out with TF's using "good ole" assault rifles, grenade launchers and artillery, and somehow taking down an army of battle-hardened TF's.

I just didn't like the whole "bombing raid, high-heat sabot round, tiny bunch of tanks and jets" idea in the movies, but tried to avoid making it too obvious in my posts lest I start offending Bayverse fans.
Bay rectified the problem in DOTM, and that's the end of the matter AFAIC.

Sabrblade wrote:"One Shall Fall"... and yet, no one does.
While it is a little better to hear just the second half of that overused line, it's still overused!
Depends on what goes on in the next episode. Like ,if someone actually DOES fall, then it would fit better. Still, going that route would just make this line even MORE overused.BeastProwl wrote:Also, wouldn't it make MORE Sense if this one was called "One shall stand" and the NEXT one was Called "One shall Fall"?
EXACTLY! Ratchet's use of that line in that context was perfect! It wasn't forced, it wasn't one that has been run into the ground, and it wasn't used in the same way as it was originally. It was a unique and creative take of a classic line that flowed smoothly and wasn't shoved down our throats.BeastProwl wrote:Just some food for thought. I think they need new lines...though in the fifth episode, or fouth, can't remember exactly wich, when Ratchet Say, "Than by all means Optimus, Light our Darkest Hour", Gave me chills, for two reasons.
1. It was used APPROPRIATELY, not just because its a famous line
2. It sounded like he was heralding something that happended in an older time...

I have a suspicious feeling that 24 and 25 will both be cliffhangers to lead up to the conclusion in 26. Or even 26 might end on a (milder) cliffhanger to better kick off the events of season 2's first episode, 27.LadyBug wrote:BeastProwl wrote:I'm getting all Giddy, Episode 24 is so close, I can taste it!

I know. I've been dying for this episode all week. I just can't wait! I just hope we don't get another cliffhanger.

What relation do cliffhangers have with anime?LadyBug wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I have a suspicious feeling that 24 and 25 will both be cliffhangers to lead up to the conclusion in 26.

Yeah, I have a feeling too.... they seem to be turning Prime into an anime series because of all these cliffhangers suddenly.
