Seibertron: The Ultimate Transformers Resource

I really hate how shows always do these ridiculously long breaks

Why do they keep freaking delaying the episodes!? What am I supposed to do the entire month I'm waiting for the next episode!?

What is up with these long hiatus's look I know that the CGI is expensive but even Beast wars episodes didn't take this long to air. Hiatus's like animated where annoying but at least forgivable because it was between season's NOT IN THE FIRKIN MIDDLE OF ONE. I mean its hard enough as it is to get your Transformers fix on these days with Gas prices and uneven toy distribution, let alone throwing this on top.

A DVD release better be in the near future, like shortly after the end of Season 1....which could be quarter till the end of the world given these long breaks!

It's not like we have Charlie Sheen doing voice over work! BAH-ZING!

Well that depends on what you do with the other 10,050 minutes during the rest of the week.

Nearly every show on tv does it, except for maybe soap operas.

Thanks to MSN TV we now have descriptions for upcoming episodes of Transformers Prime, "Operation: Breakdown" and "Crisscross". Looks like some old enemies will be making a return.


Operation: Breakdown (06-18-2011)

The Autobots save Breakdown who has been taken by Silas and his agents.

Crisscross (06-25-2011)

Airachnid plots her revenge against Arcee and Jack in negotiating with Silas.

Om my gosh...NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!! Sheesh! Do you youngsters have any idea how many freaking episodes of the original Voltron or Robotech we would have to endure being re-run before we got the next batch back when they first came to the States?? Hell, the Argo's (Yamato) mission in Star Blazers was supposed to take 365 days and it must have lasted about 2 1/2 years on it's first go-round. Quit yer bitchin and just be happy you have any TF's at all. Better yet, fire up YouTube or some other service and catch up on 20 years worth of some other TF series while you wait. Shoot, I don't even get the Hub on my cable sevice. I have to wait a week or 2 between episode releases and catch up on them when I'm at my kids' house and the wait doesn't bother me at all.


Why do I suddenly feel like Kup chewing Hot-Rods ass about impatience??

While reading this, all I can think about is how you had to watch so many subpar dubs of some anime series that were otherwise much better in their unaltered forms.

Oh Primus…I’m really hoping that the show doesn’t become a Silas vs. Transformers show

At least they're putting MECH to good use and not just making them out to be some afterthought threat.

Seriously, there have been human villains since the very beginning, and some of the worse ones came out of the G1 era. Remember the Mechanic?


At least Silas is competent. And what's wrong with the Autobots having a bigger rogues gallery consisting of more than just the Decepticons? Is a third war faction really that bad?

Yeah I suppose you’re right, and sadly the “mechanic” was before my time, and once again you’re right the villains of previous series have been to say the least incompetent, I mean look at Lord Chumly: he’s an overweight hunter who started the boar war and what else? Then continue to Animated, look at “Princess Pony” how wrong can you honestly get? So you’re right for what I think we finally have a…true evil villain

Well... I wouldn't say all of them were incompetent.

Shawn Berger got all the Autobots to leave Earth and almost sent them all into the Sun.

Victor Drath and Old Snake (A.K.A. Cobra Commander) stole the bodies of four Autobots and put their minds into Synthoid bodies.

Dr. Arkeville enslaved a good number of humans, rendering the Autobots unable to stop the Decepticons without endangering he hostages.

Circuit Breaker alone disabled many Transformers and completely fried Unicron!!!

Serpentor killed Dirge.

All of the Masterforce Decepticons (save for a select few) were humans (and epic villains to boot).

Meltdown could kill a transformer with a single (prolonged) touch.

And... there's probably more.

Yeah and there is the anti-incompetent force of villainy...sorry about that!
