    He got drunk one night, while in a reverse-pretender shell, and it all went down from there.

    Exactly.... I thought it was about the creator of Gargoyles writing a few episodes of TFP and RB?

    It was, but then an internet fight broke out. You know how it goes.

    On-topic, I think it's cool that Weisman's going to do an episode of Prime (and RH, though I still haven't watched any of it). Hopefully it'll be a good result, but I understand why people are trepidacious about it. His talent is with weaving overall plots and subplots in a way that executes wonderfully, and making believable characters that grow realistically. Things that don't line up with single-episode duties. Still, here's hoping!

    Agreed.

    Perhaps I'll watch this episode and this episode only. Maybe then we might get a glymps of what we've been missing in a quality Transformers show all these decades...

    The dude knows how to tell a story. I'll love to see what he does with his episodes. A good writer can really make an episode. Geoff Johns' episode of Arrow is the best so far, maybe Greg Weisman's will be the best of TFP.

    Looking forward to it, if his previous work is any indication, his eps might be some of the best Prime eps in the series!

    Let me guess: Megatron, Predaking, and Shockwave form a SEEEEEECRET ORDER called "The Dark" or "The Way," and they manipulate everyone and their schemes never backfire. Also, Starscream is recast as Brent Spiner, who just doesn't fit the role.
    :p

    I don't know which Trans episodes he has written specifically in the past, but I love Weisman's Gargoyles, Young Justice, and Spectacular Spider-Man. Off the top of my head these are three solid shows that he wrote.

    Beast wars Writters for Beast Hunters Prime

    The Reason for TF: P being cancel is because Season 2 was Boring.. but now that Greg Weisman is Writing a episodes Season 3 will be off the walls good..tell me Disney Gargoyles wasn't a good show? or Young Justice( not young Justice:Invasion first episodes were wack)and we need some writing from Bob Forward and Larry Ditillo (Beast Wars writers) Again u can't say that Beast Wars was poor written.

    Oh my...-faints- If Gargoyles [one of my favorite cartoons of all time] and Spectacular don't speak volumes for the man, I don't know what does. Hopefully, I'm praying he and Paul Dini [the man behind Batman the Animated Series and Justice League] join forces to make an awesome Transformers movie.

    That's pretty cool. I enjoyed his work on Gargoyles. I look forward to seeing his stuff for Prime and Rescue Bots.

    1 - Watch more Gargoyles :lol 
    2 - Watch the previous episode of YJ for some glorious backfire of epic proportions.
    3 - I think Brent Spiner might do a better Starscream than he did a Joker.

    I would not be against that.

    Op. Bee was so-so, but I enjoyed the other three immensely.
