Transformers Prime Episode 62 - Minus One - Discussion

[Perceptor]

Somebody please help me... why the title "Minus One"?

It was a good episode, but had some problems. First of all, they had previously told us Soundwave had taken a vow of silence and now he seemingly broke it for no reason. His voice was okay.

Also, if it was that easy to just follow the humans, they could've found the base a long time ago.

I generally dislike terminology that makes a Transformer sound like a computer, like "hard drives".

The power of a black hole thing sounded kinda dumb too. Plus, it's quite a leap to go from Megatron is trying to obtain power to Megatron is trying to rebuild the Omega Lock.

These writers don't think things through that well.

I think the title refers to at first the Decepticons were Minus One Decepticon due to Soundwave's capture and then at the end of the episode the Autobots are Minus One due to Ratchet's capture...see how it all evens out. At least that is my thought on the title name.

And it's complementary to the title of a previous episode Plus One.

The one thing that bothered me about the episode was the arctic battle. I mean only a couple of episodes ago we had Predaking frozen in place, and now he is battling Prime in the same kind of environment without a problem?

I think the smiley face adds to his creepiness... (see The Villager in upcoming Smash Brothers for an example).

I was thinking the same thing, why was Predaking not ceasing up and freezing now?

Presumably because that time they sent him somewhere colder than the south pole.

He may have been given more time to adapt to the harsher climate than in Rebellion, or that the environment in Rebellion was much colder.

Or Shockwave may have somehow provided some kind of cold weather protection ("snowscreen"?) to prevent that manoeuvre from working again.
