He's allegedly still beat to a pulp and since he doesn't have Main Character Syndrome, he can't magically recover like Bulkhead.

How did Bulk "magically" recover? He spent like 3 episodes recovering and getting better. In fact short of death, Prime spent more time on his injury than any other animated series spent on someone's injuries that I can think of off hand. Most characters got shot or banged up and the next week looked & acted as if nothing ever happened. Speedy recovery has always been a part of Transformers, and I was actually surprised and impressed with the fact that showed Bulkhead recovering for so long.

Granted, but it seemed like they made a big deal of him being nigh-permanently out of commission. I mean, it's not surprising that they decided to write him back in when they did, but it just seemed like they made a really big deal out of his getting a bit beat up.

In "Hurt" when Ratchet said he may never be fully functional again, I thought this was a great opportunity for him to come back in Season 3 after spending the rest of Season 2 in stasis. Especially since the Autobots have the Forge now, they could've pounded him some new armor to upgrade into, as the writers told us to look out for upgrades in Prime.
But then he recovers in 3 episodes. Ratchet's a damn liar.
I still think they'll use the Forge to give their Autobots these upgrades in-show:

Don't recall. Even if that is the case, I hope they use the Forge to their disposal. A new voice box for Bumblebee? Perhaps a shuttle? HQ Defense Systems?
Unless they lose it in the season finale

The Cons do know where their base is, don't they? Laserbeak and such... I foresee it ending badly, very badly.

Yeah, they do. How are defense systems are a bad thing in the event the Decepticons ever commence a surprise attack?

PrymeStriker wrote:Huh? I'm talking about using the Forge to craft hidden exterior defense systems that manually activate in the future event that they detect a Decepticon in-bound. You still haven't answered my question as to how that would end "badly," and now we're bringing up shields that pop out of their flooring, and a defense grid I never mentioned?
That info comes from the story written in Beast Hunters Bumblebee's instructions, which was shown at the NYCC 2012 panel:PrymeStriker wrote:RAcast wrote:I thought they hinted at them coming across a wrecked ship full of weapons and such, which was where they'd get the upgraded weapons and armor from?
Don't recall.
With the threat of PREDAKING looming over them all, every AUTOBOT dedicates himself to discovering some means of battling the PREDACON overlord. But it is the scout BUMBLEBEE who discovers what may be the key to victory. Buried deep within data recovered alongside one of the Iacon Relics he finds evidence of a derelict transport starship - a courier packed with weapons more ancient than any relic yet recovered - set adrift ages ago among the asteroids girdling Earth's solar system. With no other way to reach the ancient ship, and not wanting to waste time, he contacts WHEELJACK, hoping the AUTOBOT mercenary can provide transport and - if it turns out to be a trap - an extra blaster.

I don't see how that can happen. Seems to me they left it back at base.RAcast wrote:The Cons do know where their base is, don't they? Laserbeak and such... I foresee it ending badly, very badly.
They know the approximate area the base is in. They don't know EXACTLY where, though. And even the approximate area may change, since the 'cons grabbing the kids may force them to move. Who knows.
