Pretty good episode, with a "to be cont'd"

Megs is back in this one, sorta!

[shockwing]

it was not action packed but had tension hoping for Megatron to return

[Dragon Knight]

You got to see a lot of good animate facial expression in this episode.

Some what ifs I thought of:

Had Starscream not discover the psychic cable would he have really pulled the plug?

Also, if Ratchet were out of commission, or didn't scan the formula...what kind of a deal would he have made with Megatron? And would Bee have fallen through on it?

[Whisky Tango Foxtrot]

Bumblebee's lack of a voice got really annoying in this one.

They could've gotten around it so easily, too. Why should Bumblebee's mental projection have the same disability as his physical body? Pretty good episode apart from that, though.

For 1 thing, budget. They would have had to hire a voice actor to play Bumblebee for those few minutes he was in Megatrons mind. Second, that would have spoiled it if/when Bumblebee does get his voice back. And third, Bumblebee probably didn't think of it. He was probably so used to speaking in beeps and boops that it didn't occur to him that his psychic self could speak normally. Think of Neo in the Matrix. At first he's still bound by the laws of reality that he's accustomed to. But by the end of the first movie/beginning of the second, he's stopping bullets in mid air, flying around like Superman, throwing super punches, etc.

If anything I found Soundwaves mutism more frustrating. I kept wondering, "OK, how's he gonna tell Starscream, 'No! Don't disconnect Megatron or I'm gonna beat your ass!' without any sort of voice clip to play back at him?". But he still pulled it off with that ever so subtle extending pointing finger of his.


Personally I really enjoyed this episode. Especially all the fan service bits. "One shall stand. One shall fall." "Do I still function?!" hehe, Great!

Also how the hell did Raf know that Kaon was the Decepticon capital on Cybertron? Do the Autobots have some sort of Encyclopedia of Cybertronia there that he's been reading? Well, Ratchet did mention in a previous episode that it wouldn't hurt if the kids learned a bit about Cybertron. So maybe they do?

Well considering how long they've been with the Autobots, I imagine they would've eventually told the kids some things about their planet...like their capital cities, and places of importance and what not.

Good stuff.... little human interference :)
Does that mean thay can cure the bots in the ship.. Who are they?

Nope, those dudes seem to be long dead.

One of the bots sorta looked like Perceptor

[zerocustom]

"Do I still function?!"
I thought that was the best line in the entire episode.

[Dragon Knight]

You know, I actually liked Bee's Beeping this episode. Specfically the one he does when Megatron's first attack fails.

I think Bumblebee was telling Raf with his "beeps/boops" just before Raf spoke. Bee must have recognized that city.

This episode reminds me of the movie "Inception"... or shall I say "extraction"? Cool to see those concepts here...

[brr-icy]

decent episode, but now what's going to happen with bee? guess we'll see next week

Best episode yet. The ending is kind of reminiscent of "Starscream's Ghost" from the original series. It will be interesting to see how this story line plays out. This plot line could be developed into an entire season plot/subplot. Of course, the show is rated TV7 so it's not really geared toward a 40-ish guy like me. LOL

I love the show and I'll be joining the 40's club in no time... Truth is sometime in the next 5-10 years a big portion of us on the board will be over 40! lolz ;)

The episode was good. However, I wonder why Transformers Prime episodes always keep delaying in being broadcasted? Is it to make up for the fact that they played their Darkness Rising mini-series saga for one week and that they have 26 episodes in total? Or is it part of Hasbro's or Hub's marketting strategy?

[Jawz. D]

Awesome episode! I do like the subtle sub text of euthanasia. I can't wait for the next one. ^_^

[Hound]

Finally got around to watching this episode. Great tension! Can't wait for the next one!

I also wondered about those other autobots. I'm almost positive that Ratchet said that they weren't dead.

Ok now Megs mind is in Bee's body this could be realy bad for the Bumble. I hope he doe not go nutz.
