    Hrm. I DID just format my hard drive, my codecs are probably out of date. How does one do so?

    That episode was a major letdown for me. The only part I liked was Megs laying on the charm, FAR more convincingly than G1 Megs could ever do. oh well... hopefully next week's is a better episode.

    I did, and it didn't come out as clear, so I think the problem's on my end.

    Wow, that episode was amazing. I LOVE the Constructicons. They are the most loveable two bots ever. I also like how badly the Autobot were portrayed - first they were prejudiced against the two, and then they scared off the Constructicons - probably permanently. In short, THEY are the reason the Constructicons become Cons at all!

    Overall, a great episode, despite it's weak animation. I aprove.

    Can I implore someone to upload it to youtube, dailymotion or any other video sharing site, since I have horrible torrent karma?

    Worst episode so far.
    So every new bot generated by AllSpark fragments will act dumb like that? It worked well with Wreck-Gar, but it was a stupid idea to use the same concept with the Constructicons.

    Also, how can the Autobots act so carelessly in the presence of you know, TWO FREAKIN' UNKNOWN TRANSFORMERS??? They were supposed to keep them captive or something.

    It's sounding like a broken record, but yet another episode I had a blast watching. It is sad that Bulkhead assuredly made them run to the Decepticons at the end. If he had been thinking for a moment, they could've recruited them as Autobots right there. During the whole episode you could see they were basically nice guys who just wanted to build stuff and drink.

    Tragic.

    The episode kinda reminds me of "The Secret of Omega Supreme" with Bulkhead (who inherited G1 Omega's claws) playing the part of the "constructicon's friend".

    The only thing I didn't like was Mixmaster's voice. For a big burly guy with sucha beard, he sure had a high voice (and it was too apparent for me it was Bumper Robinson's voice, it sounded too much like Bumblebee). Then again, G1 Mixmaster had a high pitched voice too...

    I know Hasbro said there won't be any more of them, but I thought the crane shown in this episode would make a pretty decent Hook!

    you just know that if they did though Devestator would be like a foreman.

    This ep gave us our first proper animation mistake, when bumblebee jumps out of the way of ratchet's blast at blitzwing and lugnut he had a con symbol on his chest.

    It's unfair how many awesome episodes this series is putting out in such a small span of time. So happy.

    I definitely need the legend of Mix and Scrap on my desk in the coming year (or whenever they do come out).

    Animated's doing a great job of making me buy toys based solely on the characters, rather than cool alt-modes or anything. Mixmaster will be mine!

    It was a bit of a weird episode for me, because of all the confusion the Constructicons were going through. Still, it did go some way towards making everything shades of grey.

    The Constructicons were win. Especially how they were stereotypical workmen. If there ever was a Devastator made out of these two (though they've been confirmed not to combine), it'd be pretty hard to take it seriously.

    The ending was a bit sad, though, which kind of messed with the episode for me, but oh well. Next week-Screamer's back!

    Definitely the funniest, most laugh out loud moment in all of TFA in this ep...

    Lugnut getting ready to POKE the Constructobots.
    "Wait!"
    Just seeing him totter out of shot... (Booooooom)
    "I'm OK."
    Fucking win. That's another keyboard I gotta buy for coughing coffee all over it.

    Really enjoyed the melancholy ending, but am a bit disappointed in yet more random bots being all-spark fragmented in to life.
    (Doesn't that make them immortal like SS? Lame, if so.)

    And Blitzwing and Lugnut are quickly running out of 'credible violent threat' value, given their performances in GiGo, Velocity and today.
