Zap2it has listed the title and description for Transformers Prime episode 29, or part 3 of the season 2 premiere arc. The title is "Orion Pax - Part 3" and the description is "Optimus rebels against Megatron; Autobots try to get their leader back."

Sure gives off quite different vibe from Part 2's description, doesn't it?

Hopefully that "Jack learns how to restore Optimus Prime's memories" in Part 2 somehow backfires and Orion rebels here and goes back to Autobots all on his own.

That would be nice. Get some iniative, red-and-blue one!

I was hoping Optimus would be with Megatron the whole season... Two episodes isn't much of a build up at all. They pulled the same crap with Unicron. They mention the prophecy one episode before it happens and all of a sudden it happens, and you don't care because you wheren't given enough time to care.

Why wouldn't he go back the Autobots? Orion Pax is not stupid. No way would he so easily fall for Megatron's charade of the Decepticons being the good guys. Orion would darn well see just how repugnant the Cons are and go back to the Autobots all on his own. It's just like when BW Silverbolt saw how unrighteous the Predacons were and joined the Maximals on his own accord.

Orion Pax is a good person. It's not in his nature to be a Decepticon.

Too much of a build up with Unicron would have made it less of a "wham" kind of moment if you ask me. If they had slowly revealed details about Unicron possibly being Earth's core, I doubt it would have had the same effects as a volcano of Dark Energon erupting, and I enjoyed how they did it.

I'm kind of guessing that Prime might keep stay with his memories gone for the rest of the season. Or at least, I'm hoping so. If this series is supposed to delve into what it's like to be a Prime, having Optimus Prime back in a leader position with no idea what he's doing would be a great way to do that.

Indeed. Essentially it was a four parter, the writers and producers just chose to make it a three parter with a prologue.
