Looks like this episode will provide some good character focus. Though I am wondering if

Spoiler

the special powers are brought about through Red Energon or the Omega Keys (maybe both?).

 

Weaponized conversation. Ha..I like what they've been doing in the MTMTE series of late.

That would be nice if they did do a updated Encyclopedia. Similar to Dreamwave's More than meets the eye manuals they put out years ago.

 

Hard knocks: the decepticons earn superpowers.

 

"Oh no! Too many Sonic Booms!"

 

Ah... yeeesssss (as Beast Wars Megatron would say). This particular 'artifact' has yet to rear its head. I have a feeling with all of the various plates in the air this season synth-en won't come back into play until perhaps Season 3 (if at all), but I'd like to see how that goes.

 

I don't know....Starscream with super-speed? dosen't he already have that artifact armor?

...and sound powers seem more like Soundwaves game

 

I wonder if the sound ability may have been meant for Soundwave but Knockout, still being jelous from triage, swiped it from him?

 

I don't see why super speed doesn't make sense for a jet, really. In fact, a Jetformer with super speed would probably be the fastest TF ever in alt-mode, since jets go way faster than cars.

Also, I'm guessing that this has to do with Red Energon being essentially the Cybertronian equivalent of X-Kryptonite.

 

just because some decepticon is called Soundwave doesn't means he should get sonic powers , you know breakdown never makes honor to his name since we never see him having one.

 

Well Breakdown now makes that honor thanks to Airachnid breaking him down to pieces.

 

No, Breakdown lives up to his name. He listens to Tom Petty all the time, y'see.

 

Maybe Red Energon gives each Cybertronian a special ability? Knockout is the guy on the Con ship that examines and experiments with everything. He could've got a piece of the red energon and used it on himself as an experiment. Maybe?

 

That's what I was wondering. Via the Resonating (sp?) Blaster. And then he takes it and joins up with Starscream.

 

Little did they know that in the episode Knockout just gets himself a bitchin' sound system pimp my ride style.

 

Extra super powers tacked on? Seems like this will be the last season for Prime.

 

I worry that the creators are giving KO his chance in the spotlight because they intend to get rid of him?? He's one of my favorite!

But, leaving the Cons would seem to make sense for him depending on how he takes SilasBreakdown. Getting tired of being the bottom of the pyramid then his buddy comes back being controlled by an organic, which is NOT cool. I don't know if he would join Starscream or not, though.

 

I have a question about the Knock out image - I tried to find these "Season 2" images but I could only find them as unsavable gifs.

Can anyone point me at the rest in JPG form and if possible a bit bigger and with no Hasbro INC water mark ?

 

OMEGA KEY POWER!


Starscream and Knockout is a great combination

 

Sounds like starscream adds speed to his apex armor.
