"Hurt" Extended Description

Crumplezone · 08-14-2012, 10:25 PM

What do people think this is? IDW? If your shocked they didn't kill of a main character, your completely fucking ignorant. It's probably the darkest show we've gotten, but it's still a kid's show.

The Prime writers didn't write that. Your aware of that, aren't you?

And yet he has enough plot armor to survive. He's not even mortally wounded and will probably be back at 100% in three episodes, maybe two, without ANY lasting effects from his brush with death whatsoever. No matter what anybody says, that's bad writing.

To be fair, the Insecticon had the stuff blown into him as shrapnel.

I like to think he WAS Shrapnel too. For irony's sake.

So G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, and Animated also weren't kid's shows? They all had no problem letting main character(s) die. It has nothing to do with being a kid's show. Especially when we can see Vehicons getting their guts ripped out and Breakdown in pieces.

Yet another bit of proof that Wheeljack is actually Makeshift.

Of course the writers didn't write the random TV description

I was referring to the TV description, which describes what the episode is about, so if the description says "near fatal", then we can assume Bulkhead's brush with Hardshell was near fatal and didn't kill him. Which is part of the story that the writers, well, wrote. I was simply implying that with all the hints they gave in the last episode, it would have made the most logical sense for Bulkhead to be dead, not near-dead.

BEAST MACHINES is the darkest TF show we have gotten. Megatron committed MASS GENOCIDE on Cybertron, before the Maximals got there. EVERY main character, with the exception of Optimus Primal and Megatron, DIED in the finale before Optimus sacrificed his and Megatron's life to reformat Cybertron and bring everyone back to life.

Prime is NOWHERE near as dark as Beast Machines was, and to claim it is is nothing more then pure ignorance talking.

Didnt the other description say that his tox en poisoning may prove more fatal the Insecticons? Maybe Ratchet fixes his injury and Miko and Wheeljack head off to kill Hardshell only to find out Bulkhead died while they were out or something.

That's cool. My six year old was pretty sad about losing Bulkhead. This will make him very happy!

If having a crater blown into his back didn't kill Bulkhead, mere traces of the Tox-en crap is not going to finish the job. Saying so would imply that Tox-En is in fact stronger than Dark Energon, which even considering the crap Prime has pulled out of its ass to justify some things is a silly assumption.
