Transformers Prime "Hard Knocks" Preview Clip

Looks like laserbeak gets some screen time

Mmmmmmmmmmm can't wait.

I dunno. "Alpha/Omega" was epic, but I feel like the Star Saber's time was cut short, and that Megatron forged the Dark Saber too quickly. I mean, at least in Armada they actually used the Mini-Con weapons for several episodes, i.e. how Hot Shot owned the Cons with the Star Saber, but getting beaten by Scavenger and betrayed by Sideways hit him hard. Meanwhile, in Prime, the Star Saber is an epic sword, but gets broken by some Dark Energon, and the only artifact anyone's actually using is the phase shifter. Sure, Screamer's got Red Energon, Megs has the Dark Saber, and KO's gonna have the Resonance Blaster, but how long are those going to last? If you have plot devices in a series, you should use them.

Unintended, but I derp.

The 'cons also have the Forge of Solus Prime. Let's not forget that.

And what've they done with that? Create an over-powered weapon, that's all.

If he has more Dark Energon, which I'm pretty sure he does, he could make one for every [named] Decepticon!

No. I don't want Dark Energon to become the new Bumblebee be more overpowered than it apparently already is.

Actually, if a chunk of Dark Energon can bring up a planet full of the undead...

but Megatron wouldn't do that anyway. He'd give one to Soundwave at least, but tell me when he's gone head to head with an Autobot other than Wheeljack. I don't think Megatron trusts anyone else with such a powerful weapon, given the events that took place with Starscream and Airachnid.

Do Dreadwing's explosive always have to have a countdown beeping sound ??!!!

Its frickin' annoying.

And once again, the good guys come out unscathed.

I believe he's referring to the unchanged status quo. The Cons lost a few of their main characters,

Uhhhhh, Breakdown is the only semi-main character that's dead. Airachnid is in stasis, hoping to make a return for Beast Hunters, and Starscream might join the 'cons again in S2E24.

but the Bots lost one.

Cliffjumper? You're joking right? He's not a main character. All main Autobots are accounted for.

Also, while we're at it, Tailgate and Seaspray are dead too.
