What do you think it means?

Voice box repair hopefully. On that note, I hope Screamer gets his cog back.

Couldnt all this be solved if the Autobots kidnapped a Vehicon and toke the part they needed?

But he beeps and boops after the surgery, no?

Fuck! So let's see...we got Knock Out pissing himself, Ratchet referencing Beast Wars Fuzor Bantor, Breakdown digging up the frigging Hammer of Solus Prime and Megatron trying to make Fortress Maximus's gun with it by smacking a poor little metal box flat. Did I miss anything else that made me squee like a little girl?

Marty, you magnificent bastard! I hope you keep writing the rest of the series from this point on. Not that any of the previous episodes were bad in any way. This one just had me orgasming from pure fan-wankery alone. I think this is the episode that is putting Prime on top of my list of best Transformers series ever. As much as I love Beast Wars, we're not even one and a half seasons into this show and it's already edging out BW, which had three whole seasons. Five if you count BM. Who'd have thunk it? A Bumblebee centric episode of all things!

I somehow don't think Bumblebee's voice box will be repaired any time soon.

Yeah, but the Autobots would never do that. It completely goes against their moral standings.

The autobots wouldn't, but it's something I can picture Starscream totally doing.

Outside of the Bayverse, at any rate.

It was a nice episode for references but something about it just didn't satisfy me. I think it was that the 'Bots didn't get the hammer to fix Bee's voice box. I really hate the beeping.
I'm also disappointed at 'Scream's inability to maintain his T-Cog. That was just pathetic and he is far better than that.

It meant Ratchet "Repaired" his confidence, nothing to do with Bee's voice box.

It was a pretty fun episode. Didn't anyone notice how easy it was for Megs to pick up the hammer when Bulkhead himself had trouble dual-wielding it. Meg's effin' crazy!

I'm pretty sure Prime meant that Ratchet also repaired Bumblebee's pride.

Well, they do kill Vehicons without hesitation. I don't know if that's the heat of battle, or self-defense, but I just thought of it as though Vehicons are not fully sentient. (In the episode Ratchet goes crazy on synthetic energon, Prime stops Ratchet from killing a Decepticon that was Servant class, not Warrior class.)

What I don't get is why Mech wouldn't harvest the rest of Starscream's parts while they were at it.
