Well, based on the fact that Perceptor tried to move the matrix and couldn't and Unicron is now here to destroy the enigma, I feel confident in guessing that at the end of next episode, Rodimus Unicronus will be about to destroy the matrix and then the episode will end with Primal lunging for it, and in the final episode, he turns into Optimal Optimus, defeats Unicron, purifies Rodimus, and Megatron kills Megatronus, or Solus drags Megatronus into the afterspark with her

Sorry guys. I was just too busy to do the review last week. This week's review is currently getting delayed by Tornado Warnings. We'll do a double feature tomorrow!!

Well... Yeah. I mean, doesn't that kinda go without saying? Like, if something is used well and done right, it would be considered "good", right?

I just read this comment on Facebook made in response to the video of Jaime King talking about Solus Prime:

I always pictured solus prime as a dude like an asgardian blacksmith kinda dude

WUT?

I dont get what the big deal is, the person didnt know much about Solus Prime and thought 'he' was a keeper of the forge like Hephaistos. Although they did mix up greek and Norse mythology. Its not like the name Solus Prime is indicative of the bot's sex.

Episode 9 - https://www.go90.com/videos/0SAOtpXNTIY

Just one more left to go after this.

Of all the episodes on which to stop offering Closed Captions, Go90 chooses the one that features the most heavily muffled dialogue in this series.

So, does this now repurpose Rodimus Unicronus as a toy for Unicron himself? The smaller Nemesis Hot Rod/Rodimus Cron form has been depicted as his own character up to this point, but now we're shown that the evolved Rodimus Unicronus form is one in which Unicron himself is squarely in the driver's seat.

You know, if all Primal needed to do was place his hands on the Matrix and grab it, why did he instead first decide to just start carelessly punching the thing like a brutish oaf when he knows that the Matrix, like the Requiem Blaster, is a sacred relic that should be treated with care?

Well, color me surprised. I honestly didn't think this show had it in itself to actually advertise a certain specific POTP toy. Though the title of this episode is incredibly misleading since one would think that this event would be the titular focus rather than what a title like "Megatronus Unleashed" would suggest.

He's even got correctly-colored green eyes despite the toy's incorrectly-colored red eyes. Props to that.

Parts of Unicronus's CG model's back just kinda disappear when he gets flipped back by Primal. Weird.

You know, I just might be willing to call this the most decent episode of the whole trilogy. At least since Megatron's debut episode back in CW. Or since Starscream's honestly decent CW Prelude (before we found out it was a lie, that is).

It's Tuesday again, Seibertronians, and you all know what that means! The next episode of Machinima's Power of the Primes animated series, the penultimate in the series and Prime Wars Trilogy overall, has been uploaded and is ready to be viewed

The episode can be watched on Go90 here, or for viewers outside of the US, it is available on the Prime Wars Tumblr here. After you've watched the episode, share your thoughts with other Seibertronians in the Energon Pub Forums, and stay tuned for our review of the episode coming soon too!

To save their race, our heroes must destroy Megatronus’ machine, but first they must fend off a possessed Rodimus Cron.

well now, i guess i was wrong about optimal optimus making an appearance
that so far was the highlight of the series

Could they seriously not be bothered animating Rodimus Crons mouth? And look, Optimal Optimus. BETCHA DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING... not that I hate it but it just felt like such an undeserved reveal ya know?

To be fair I never doubted they would do optimal optimus in this series, it was obvious that he would get a power up when they needed it. The final episode will be interesting to see how much time it gives itself to settle everything and show what happens next instead of just ending abruptly and offering no closure.

I winced when he renamed himself, hearing him say his name makes you realise how stupid of a name it is.

(Oh and your signature is WAY too huge. We have guidelines, you just obliterated them.)

And what was up with that split screen nonsense? It's like they just discovered they could do it and tried to use it as much as stupidly possible.

So far, I like the series. Sure, things can always be better. I do agree that Optimal Optimus is kinda weak as a name, even though I love my OG BW Optimal Optimus (I still call him Optimus Primal). This has been fun. Can't wait to see the ending.

Well I was wrong about Optimal Optimus not showing up.

They did the whole split screen things in the final couple episodes of the last series, too. Super random and out of place, exactly what you described.

It occurs to me how jaded I must be off the oddities and quirks of Transformers media that only in the second viewing (yes, really, I watched this crap twice ) that it occurred to me that this was an episode of a show featuring a Matrix-empowered Optimus Primal versus a Unicron-possessed Rodimus Prime!

How jaded must I be to not think this is some weird/crazy/dumb **** you'd see out of terrible fanfictions?

Well, I about 90% called it. Close enough! What do I win?

I actually don't mind so much cause I actually enjoyed this episode. I do like Primal, and I liked the Matrix scene. It's also inspiring so many pose ideas for when I get PotP Primal to go with Rod Cron

it has been enjoyable, I suppose

Heh heh, some Geewun fanboys on Facebook are going nuts over the Munky having been the one chosen by the Matrix.

Because "Geewun fanboys" isn't a condescending label either.

Aw, I'm just joshin'.


Were I to have been more politically-correct (or whatever the expression is these days), I'd've said something like "devout G1 fans who hold a cynical and/or disdainful view towards anything that isn't from the 1980s G1 era simply for its being 'not G1' or 'not true Transformers' to them", but such was more of a mouthful to type and "Geewun fanboys" got the message across more simplistically (and cheekily).

The way they would have to look at it is, who was there for the matrix to choose? Imagine the out roar if windblade was chosen
