This was what I was thinking as well.

The question remains, will silas be in his new breakdown body? (Or something different?)

 

Well atleast they didn't leave this subplot behind like Synth-En.

I can't wait to see how he uses Breakdown's body.

 

There's still time to use subplots.


This episode should be.... interesting. I'm curious as to how a full body shot of Silasdown looks.

 

I'm not crazy about Silas but I don't think he'll last that long physically or mentally.

He'll just serve his purpose and will get the boot.

 

jf:

Or in 1980s Marvel; Hi-Q, right?  

 

I think that actually works with a hidden thread from "convoy" where Optimus Prime compares Mechs motives of conquest through bleeding edge technology as a parallel to the Decepticon Initiative in the war for cybertron.

Cybertronian technology has been Silas's obsession since then. And If he's become mostly a Transformer he probably is weighing the quickest path to takeing all of the Decepticons resources as this ruse. If he still looks like breakdown its possible he can use that and knockout would mistrust breakdowns abnormal behavior.


What could help in the long run is if Breakdown is subconsicously influenceing silas to go to the Decepticons and they have some kind of Mental battle for control that maybe gives Silas a split personality because he's become a living component that is keeping Breakdown Alive being slowly overwritten by a cybertronian mind.

 

Please dear GOD let Breakdown's conscience take over. I hate MECH. There, I said it, shoot me.

 

I'd love for Breakdown's personality to reboot....It gives us one last chance at redemption...(for the writers).

 

"hey i just met you"
"and this is crazy"
"but here's breakdowns body"
"can i join you maybe?"

 

"There's no possible way this can go wrong!" - Silas

 

I bet he realizes he needs energon to survive, so he goes to join up with the Decepticons because MECH doesn't know how to find or mine it.

And then he comes across the Synth-En sample...

 

I'm hoping that Breakdown's mind is what's subconsciously making Silas want to join the Cons. If this indeed is what's going on and Breakdown's mind is influencing Silas's, Silas needs to become deathly afraid of spiders, if you get my drift.

 

Yes they do. I'm not real sure to what extent, but in Operation Bumblebee Starscream showed them all that stuff.

 

baggzey, I present to thee, THE INTERNET. Because you have won it.

 

Sounds like the first truly interesting episode this season, except maybe for New Recruit.

 

As much as I think Breakdown's death and the lack of his lot advancing before hand is very bad, I hope his conscious doesn't effect Silas. I like cold, disconnected villains. Especially when they actually get things done. And so far, Silas has been the only villain who seems to get things done. While him having a split personality would be interesting, it would ruin Silas's plotting capabilities.

 

Thing is... after hearing that Miko fired the missiles that killed Hardshell... Megatron *might* just be intrigued by the proposition.

Alternatively... it's possibly Silas is sitting inside Breakdown's now revived corpse, and wants to serve as a plant such that he can steal tech.

I think the latter would be more interesting since it'd require Breakdown's mind to be well... back online. How else would the 'Cons think BD's back? Course, he'd obviously know someone else is pulling the strings... and it'd drive poor Breakdown mad I'm sure. Would make for good TV I'd say. Live up to his name and whatnot... heh

 

I think Megatron will accept. The way he looked when he found out a human killed Hardshell made me know he had a human idea

 

Can't wait for Silas to be in the show.

 

If this ends with Breakdown fully resurrected in some way, then the entire plot line involving his death would have just been one large, contrived story just to explain how he comes back from an extremely cheap death.
