Just saw this. HOLY EFFIN' CATS!! I loved it! Prowl's power-trip was nice to see...gives him more of a sense of three dimentionalism as a character...very nice development! Prowl was a bad-ass too! Woot!

LOL! A clone army of seekers with jacked-up versions of Starscream's personality! How hysterical!! The whiny one was just sad! The slick-talking Ramjet lookalike amused me as well....and more to come from what I saw! Such fun!

All in all, this was a great ep!

It was a pretty good episode. I rate it 7.2 out of 10

(Spoilers)

I enjoyed the interaction between Lockdown and Prowl. It's always fun when Autobot and Decepticon join forces. It helped round out Prowl's character to show him acting a little out of sorts. He can tend to be Mr. balanced and boring at times, but he was almost showing immaturity at times here. I was sorry to see him give up his upgrades at the end. I look forward to them making a return appearance.

Lockdown was excellent in this. I like him. Prowl was a bit of a prick at the end. Like in Rise of the Constructicons, the Autobots can be a bit stuck-up, holier-than-thou types at times.

The Screamer clones, I wasn't sure if they were autonomous characters, or lifeless drones, but at the end it looked to be the latter. - An allspark fragment could probably change that easily. When the two clones were welded together and fired into the sky I kept wondering if this will be similar to how the combining Jetfire and Jetstorm might come about.

This is easily one of my favourite episodes. Prowl gets his armor/sidecar. Starscream gets his clones. We get Lockdown again. And NO Sari or BB! :grin: We even get to see the Dinobots a little bit, with a nod to that old story "the Lion and the Mouse".

I think I've said this before, but anyone notice how Lockdown seems to have rub symbol on his chest in the show, but not on the toy? :-( I can't wait for the upgraded Prowl toy and the remolded Lockdown with chainsaw weapon. I just hope Prowl has the shield, the sword, and the stick he has in the show, and is able to use Ratchets EMP generator. :D Oh and the Seeker repaints. Don't forget the Seekers. And on that note. The red and white Stascream, G1 Screamer homage or Ramjet homage? I say Screamer. Your opinion?

yep.

Exactly what I'm waiting to see. Hopefully Prowl won't have any armor molded on.

From what I remember from BotCon, he's exactly the same as the current deluxe with the traffic light. He just comes with the sidecar instead and will still be a deluxe. :grin: Which is why I'm passing on the current model.

defo one of the best - g1 colour starscream was a nice nod - again the less they use human characters in the show the better

the fun of watchin a show bout giant transforming robots is when the battle it out against each other and not against half-witted humans. g1 used to suffer from this to. Tho the non decepticon villains were slightly more bearable

and the ark's colour scheme seems more omega supremish than before tho that's prolly just my imagintion

Nice G1 reference with the probe from Teletran-1. Looked just like the scene at the start of G1.

I really liked Prowl with that Samurai/Shredder armour.
So there is a toy of that version announced?
I wish it was a new figure rather than just the same one with extra bits since I already have the plain one preordered.

Well they are remolding his fists as well because its been critisized that they cannot hold the weapons very well-so I guess it will be a refined version of the toy too. Meaning....I would wait for the side car/armour prowl too :D

I really enjoyed the episode, it's one I've been waiting for since I read the episode guides a while ago.

All I wanna know is how are they gonna handle all the starscream repaints. Cause there is no way I see them re-releasing the same toy, a voyager mind you, that many times. Unless they downgrade the class of the repaints though I doubt fans will be happy with that one.

This way maybe: Image

Very good episode, A Prowl-centric episode can never be bad!

Starscream and his seekers, a plan only Starscream could concoct.

What I want to know is how he is powering these clones, while I'm sure that teensy fragment of the allspark is powerful enough to give life to many clones, would it not be a huge risk for Starscream to remove even a portion of it from himself?

Good question. What is he sacrificing to bring those clones online? He acted like it was no big deal to active more or all of them. We get the fun new personalities in metered doses I suppose.


This was another episode of TF:A that I absolutely loved. I was happy to see Lockdown again, with a Fett-esque cape, no less. I wonder if he really intended to welcome Prowl on to his ship, or if it was just him trying to bait his new-found competition in to a trap, to eliminate him.


Lockdown's ship! OMP I want that ship! I wonder, besides Omega Supreme, will we get any other ship toys? Lockdown's ship would be so sweet.

Bravo! Good episode.
i actually felt bad for purple..erh, magenta coward SS!
Prowls egomania trip was wonderful to see, good character development.
Also i cant wait to waist my money on multiple SS repaints so i can line them all up in the same pose and make a "strcream rainbow" :lol:

However the one thing im fuzzy on,
Lockdown mentions the bounty on SS when he first encounters Prowl.
Prowl doesn't seem to notice.
Lockdown mentions it again.
Prowl doesn't seem to notice again.
Then Prowl is surprised that Lockdown is working for Megatron??
Doses Prowl have selective hearing or what?

Lockdown also mentioned that Megatron pays more than the Elite Guard, so maybe he thought they set the bounty. Even though they were the first to find out about his escape, idk plot hole?

I just realized why I like this Ep so much. There was no Sari! Now isnt it a Much Better Show with out that squeaky Voice entering in. I didnt even think about her once.
