"Convoy" sounds interesting. It is the Japanese name for Prime but could also denote a whole fleet of trucks, vehicles, navy ships, aircraft, etc. I looked up the meaning of the word. It orginally means to accompany and protect. Examples given were a convoy of navy ships protecting a sea vessel or FBI agents "convoying" or protecting the president. So I'm wondering if this is an "Optimus Is The Hero" episode where he has to protect others. Who knows.

 

That's what I'm thinking. And the Scraplets may be dark energon infected robotic bug-like things since, according to "Scrapeheaps'" description, the Autobots fight a SWARM of them.

 

I'll wait til official confirmation of these episode titles before I can speculate or just wait in three weeks when show comes on.

 

"Masters And Students"? Strange name. Sounds like a Starscream-centered episode. I recall in Beast Wars Blackarachnia stating that she learned deception from the master, Starscream. So is Starscream the master trying to teach his students, the other Decepticons, how to deceive and create distraction? I'm wondering if Starscream and the rest of the cons try to break into a military base in this episode to find out the location of the Autobot base only to discover a far more intriguing secret instead in the base's data files. Starscream uses a distraction to secretly get in. Who knows.

 

cool

 

I think Starscream uses the distraction of a Solar Eclipse that caused Bumblebee to crash into another car creating a traffic jam on the road. Then the information Starscream find out is that Optimus Prime was a decepticon during the war for a few thousand years, and during that time killed many many autobots. And also, Optimus Prime was the one who gave the space bridge technology to the decepticons in the first place!

That... or it's too soon to tell from those vague descriptions...

 

I think Starscream either distracts them with an energy source while he locates their base or he distracts them with a possibility that Megatron is returning and finds a huge energy source. Or he distracts them with his 'I'm the new leader' tyrade.

I don't know what the episode is about. Could be anything. I'm just going by what has already been presented. Starscream is dead-centered on destroying all the Earth-bound Autobots at least. He demonstrates this when he orders the destruction of Arcee and when he tortures Fowler to get him to reveal the location of the Autobot base. I'm sure his objectives are not going to change. He's probabely still going to try and find out the Autobot base location. Since Fowler is a military man, breaking into a military base where secret data files could be stored pertaining the the Autobot base's location could be one way of finding out.

 

Woo-hoo! My backside will get another 5 seconds of tv fame!!!

Ah, good call! I wonder what that one could be?

 

i have a question..

i have comcast digital cable.. the hub still has yet to have an HD channel.. do any of you with a different provider get the hub in HD? because this show would look.. well, a million times better in HD.

 

'Deus Ex Machina'? I smell a MacGuffin!

 

^this.

Any guess it's something like the Allspark or Matrix of Leadership?

 

Could be a Matrix episode, assuming the Matrix is important in the series. Or as the phrase literally means "god from the machine"... a Transformer, long sealed away, mistaken by ancient peoples as a god? In other words, an updated and altered version of "Man of Iron"?

 

Or perhaps an actual god, like Unicron?

 

It was just posted what "Deus Ex Machina" is about. Apparently...
