Transformers Prime Episode 41 - Toxicity Preview

Anyone able to get anything from the super fast rewind? >.>

I really gotta wonder what the bug did to bulk :/ And why didn't megs wanna get his hands dirty? It's always nice to see him out in the field.

Apparently the creative team of Prime promised that Miko would undergo major character development during the course of this season. They also promised that the 'T' four-parters would have long lasting consequences for the rest of the season. This does not bode well for Bulkhead. On the other hand, nice to see a Con that's less likely to jump ship this time. Really, between fatalities and treason it's a wonder that Megatron even has three (four?) officers left. (then again Knock Out is giving us that shifty look)

So, the insceticons are a formidable foe to take down Bulkhead. Eagerly awaiting next Saturday.

Hardshell. Not a bad name. Yes, I think he might be a special Insceticon. In fact, because Hardshell might become a major character, so! Maybe a Hardshell figure.

called it lol......I must have powers......powerful powers.......DONT MESS WITH THE POWERS!!!!!!!! rant done, reality returns to normal.

With this show? I wouldn't put it past them. It really would be a big turn in things though. And you could only imagine how much that would effect Miko.

Well, they've already killed off Cliffjumper, Skyquake, and Breakdown. Who knows, maybe he'll go down and Whelljack will take his place, or he might go into stasis lock or something.

The Autobots got the phase generator.
Starscream got the Apex Armor.
The Decepticons have the resonance gun.

So it's about time for a "No MacGuffin, no winner" scenario. Though the writers seem to love playing with the audience's expectations.

That's what I thought too, but I honestly can't say. For story-writing purposes it would make sense to let the Cons get it simply because when you introduce a new character you always want to play them up for all they're worth. Notice how when Knock Out and Breakdown were introduced they took on four Bots with relative ease, yet in later episodes they have a markedly lower success rate. From a writer's point of view, you want the character to leave an impact on the audience and make it clear that this new character is a serious contender. Considering that Hasbro seems to have plans for Hardshell (to sell toys) it wouldn't surprise me to see him coming out on top.

Man, if they kill Bulkhead...
