    another pretty good episode. starscream is still my favorite in the show!

    i thought it was funny when MoF said "they're back to kill us"

    plus that was weird with the rodeo cannon

    Edit: All right so the link here leads to the first episode. I had to use a link from Seibertron to watch it. Weird.

    So Megatron continues to be the best part of the series.
    And is that Metroplex speaking to Windblade?
    Sweet, Devastator showed up, lets hope he is a threat unlike Menasor and Computron.

    I'm assuming that in this timeline, Devastator wasn't the first combiner like he was in the old cartoon or the IDW books? (I know Monstructor was first in IDW but I'm referring to the more well known ones).

    Why do some character have a vocal effect while others don't?
    Why is the lip syncing so blood terrible? Just use anime lip flaps it's fine don't try and make it match if it's hard to do.

    Is this show still on? UGH... I thought all of the bad press and sour fan reaction had killed it by now.

    I still can't get past the lack of lip syncing.

    Does it seem like all the bots move weird and gravity seems to vary? Sometimes they kind of float around like they are walking on the moon and other times they smash down hard with earth normal gravity.

    Why is Cybertron empty? Optimus and Megatron are only in exile from Hot Rod and Starscream? They could have at least put in some generic background bots to make it seem like they aren't alone on an empty world.

    Why did the MoF want to use the enigma immediately? Cybertron is apparently almost empty. Did she want to combine with Hot Rod and Starscream?

    Rodeo Gun?

    Such bad writing.

    It's so short... but I still had to take a break in the middle to go walk around and think about other things for a while. It was sapping my will to live too quickly to watch all in one sitting.

    I loved Rodimus' line: "We don't have any forces that can stand in their way." Yeah, that's exactly right, you don't have ANY forces, period. There are zero people living on Cybertron whatsoever except for the council. Same as Windblade's planet and the same as wherever Megatron was. There's nobody anywhere. The whole cartoon is completely empty of anyone or anything.

    Is this show actually getting better as it progresses or am I just growing accustomed to crap?

    In any case I give this ep. a 6/10

    Yeah, what was that "They're back to finish the job" line about? Did Optimus try to assassinate the council previously? Everything in this is nonsensical.

    Could this show possibly be set in the same continuity as devastation? Both kind of spun out of the combiner wars toyline and exist in some sort of nebulous g1 universe that is neither cartoon or comic

    The council believes someone is out to kill them because Starscream was shot. When three armed bots show up at the door, one of them being megatron, it's not such a jump in logic to assume it was those three when you think about it.
