Transformers Animated Episode 25 Official Discussion

Awesome episode, love seeing action on Cybertron and interesting characters like Wasp.

Anyone else get a Colossus vibe from Iron Hide as he bleed a silver lining?

My only complaint is that Shockwave should be his classic purple

This was a great episode, but what's with the insubordination and Autobots doing whatever they want in every episode?

I like this one for the same reasons everyone else had, I just hated how (what appeared to be) the established long time relationship that BB and Bulkhead had in the first episode became a "we're friends through process of elimination". Made me dislike BB for being so image conscious. However though who want to do a Cliffjumper custom out of BB now have a head reference :P

anyone else catch the Full Metal Jacket references in the flashbacks?

TOTALLY! That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it happening.

Good ep, makes up for last week easily.

Wasp is already have way to becoming Waspinator, can't wait to see if they put him in season three.

I pretty much agree with all of Robimus' points, but I just couldn't like this episode. The writing has become extremely sloppy and inconsistent to the point of it being goofy. What's equally as bad is that everything about this story was fairly transparent. The villain's identity is never really in question and subsequently the big reveal had very little impact (nostalgia aside).
Character development also takes a hit, as it seems Bumblebee didn't learn anything about teamwork from the previous episode. It a shame the writers feel it necessary to place core characters into plot devices. This is the first time viewers find out about BB's ambition to become an Elite Guard. I never got that impression from the first episode, or other episodes.
The Elite Guard haven't demonstrated any skill that is above and beyond that of the main heroes, and with Sentinel's failure to apprehend Wasp, that group seems to be all the more inept. I understand Wasp had to escape, but it shouldn't have to make a powerful warrior look bad. Speaking of Sentinel, it was pretty silly to show him in a sling and bandages. Not a fan of these creative art decisions.
I did find it interesting, that Sentinel named BB and Bulkhead. But does this mean all Autobots go the boot camp to receive a designation, or did they have one prior? Well...whatever.

excellent episode.however it raises a few questions.1.we see iron hide shares the exact same cybertronian mode as ratchet except its red.will we see a "red" deluxe ratchet painted as ironhide?2.since wasp(inator) is now hopefully going to be in the show more,will he get blown up just as much as bw waspy did?3.loved sentinel primes cybertronian mode better than his earth 4x4 mode.does anybody know if hasbro will release him in that form?other than those questions,awesome episode over all.

To answer your questions as I predict:

1. Because IH has a different head and build in 'bot mode, not to mention has never been to Earth, I HIGHLY doubt it.

2. Only time will tell, then again, it's Animated. The most fan-wanky series in TF history.

3. I freakin' hope so. The Deluxe is Okay, but lacks in some certain palces.

Awesome. Waspinator, now that's a cool recolour. Hope to see a toy version. A double spy Shockwave how cool is that.
