    It's nice to see that Knockout wants to honor his dead comrade. He seems to have gotten over Breakdown's death quickly enough. He seems to have a pretty carefree personality.

    I really like the distinct personality and the tidbits of disfunctionality that exist within the Decepticons.

    During the clip I was smiling and laughing at the Decepticon dialogue. But the autobot dialogue left me wanting. The Decepticons can be funny, suspenseful and cool. I think even the autobots seem a bit boring when compared to them.

    Well, that's my opinion from the clip.

    So,

    Tunnel Vision= Arcee & Bumblee v.s. Knockout and Insecticon

    Triangulation= Optimus v.s. ? (Shifting alliances might involve Mech/SS/and/or maybe Dreadwing?)

    Triage= Ratchet & Wheeljack v.s. Soundwave

    Toxicity= Bulkhead(?) v.s. Megatron?

    Or maybe out of the blue a new Bot/or even Shockwave comes out of nowhere to give the 4 episode story arc a nice cliffhanger ending before the potential season break?

    I also agree. Take notes from Knock Out, Optimus. EMOTE.

    The flippant, sarcastic tone of his voice pretty much confirms he feels no genuine loss for Breakdown.

    Or he's sucking up to Megatron.

    We have no idea, and never will, of his reaction when he first found out. The fact that he's probably gotten over it is irrelevant.

    There's nothing to get over, he genuinely doesn't give a fuck. His reaction was probably like "Oh, really? Ahhhhh shit, well, gonna need a new bodyguard."

    Probably. Because apparently it's wrong for Decepticons to care about each other.

    What I see as Knock Out’s possible though process here.

    1.Well slag, there goes my bodyguard/finish protector/partner/friend. (I’m sticking firmly with friend. I mean you don’t share that many looks with a guy and not at least be friendly. It does speak of a certain social comfort.)

    2.Now I’ve got to prove my worth to Megatron as a confident single soldier and not as a broken pair, so I’ve got to be on the ball about this.

    3. Any opportunity to preen is a pretty damn good one.

    So he starts with good news: ready to go on this relic-hunting excursion

    Cites how useful he’s been in the past: Breakdown and Knock Out’s previous successes.

    And wraps up with a promise of continued usefulness: “I intend to do it again.”

    This sounds to me pretty much like a Practiced-In-Front-Of-The-Mirror-Speech to emphasis why Megatron keeps him around. Ok, yes he’s a medic and is therefore useful in that sense, but I think he gets too much credit for that. I mean, he was only summoned in the first place because Megaton was in serious Unique-Circumstances kind of damage. They could probably get along pretty well without him.

    The added hand flourishing and posturing was just typical Knock Out flair. I swear he can’t even help that.

    PLUS, as a deterrent to all of you people who say Knock Out really only cared that Breakdown was a good shield, consider his reaction to the insecticon. He’s clearly uncomfortable with the idea of bringing it along, but if he was only thinking about it as extra muscle, he wouldn’t be bothered by it at all. I’d consider that a pretty big tell.

    He's uncomfortable with the Insecticon because it's a giant bug that's twice his size and could snap him in half on a whim.

    Optimus is getting really annoying now. Big words for simple things. Boring and stoic. Nothing fun can really go on at all when he's in the scene.

    Nah. Look at Dreadwing and Skyquake, or Megatron and Soundwave.

    Bumblebee: It's not about winning, it's about fun!
    Optimus: What's that?

    *Cue delightful song in which Optimus learns the spirit and meaning of fun*

    Megatron's a bit of D**k to Knockout.

    And Megatron does not have Legions of squealing fan girls so he can naff right off.

    People talk about Optimus being dull - I'm finding Megatron's ego a bit wearisome too, Knockout basically said he wanted to do well in the memory of his friend and Megatron just was being dipstick to him.

    I really hope this story goes some place as so far so ploddingly dull.

    It looks like the best thing about next ep is Jack and Miko get to go on the Mission, so at least it won't just be an Arcee monologue with some beeping on top.

    The Kids at least have the virtue of something to listen to beside Arcee whining.

    or make him its bitch forthat matter

    a person liek that you do not want to f@#$ around with or get on their bad side for that matter cause odds are you can count yourself lucky if killing you is the only worst thing they do to you in the end
