    How many fans like YOU are there, really that would be happy to see main human characters, namely children, die in an animated show that is largely targeted at children????

    Dude this is only a clip not the whole episode so I'm sure there will be a logical explanation for it so wait until it airs ebfore making such a judgement.

    Secondly if you think back this was likely planned from the beginning. Think about it. The Unicron arc lead into the Orion Pax arc which lead into them finding out clues to what Project Iacon can do then after Smokescreen's debut we're now seeing the full revealing of it bit by bit. Making Planets into a planet like Cybertron's is exactly what Project Iacon's about not to mention Unicron's return. Sounds like a whole lot of forshadowing to me.

    I'm sorry but it seems that maybe you're the one who's not connecting the pieces of the stories together yourself since you seemed to be not paying attention to the story at all.

    We all know the Cyberforming thing isn't going to work out, but we do know that he still takes over Cybertron. As for what effect this might have on Unicron...Megatron is firing what I can only assume is Allspark Energy at the Earth. Allspark Energy is the complete opposite of Unicron. It could simply reformat his outer body and nothing else, or it could destroy him entirely.

    I also think this would be a good time for their existence to be revealed.

    I don't get the bloodlust myself. I mean, the character deaths we have had so far have been completely worthless, so why would anyone want more bodies?

    I did.

    Still doesn't make sense.

    I thought project Iacon was Alpha Trion sending the relics to aide Optimus' future struggles or something? Been a while but I think I'd remember the goal being to turn Earth into Cybertron.

    I don't watch it. I'm just somehow consistently surprised by Prime's hollow theatrics and how complacent everyone is with it. Hence why I'm usually never in actual discussion threads.

    I love how one of the defenses I often have fired at me is the "opinion" one, even though, well, I'm just "expressing my opinion."

    Frankly the word "opinion" bothers me. It's original meaning has been stripped way by message boards and it now exists only as cheap passcard. like adding "IMO" or 'that's just my opinion" somehow is suppsoed to silence the opposing party because they don't have an opinion, apparently. Yes, everyone ahs an opinion. That doesn't mean nobody is allowed to talk. I love discussion myself. I love knowing what makes people say what they say. Nothign bugs me more than someone who quits or ignores reason by dropping an "O" bomb.

    I'm expecting to be entertained, but I this is what I'm predicting:
    Optimus chooses a living Earth over a dead Cybertron and destroys the keys before they can destroy Earth, ruining their chances of a reborn Cybertron. No Unicron reawakening and no new Cybertron.

    This will be very interesting. Soundwave better talk in the episode. I'm still holding out for that. I am also very curious how this is going to end. :popcorn

    Then maybe either watch them again or wait until the show's done to see the full story since it'll likely be fully explained by then.

    If I recall correctly Alpha Trion never mentioned it being project Iacon at all.

    Uh, since when has the focus ever solely been on the humans?

    And no, Dreadwing's death was NOT worthless. Pretty clear he knew he was going to die. Didn't believe in the Decepticon cause anymore and he handed over the Forge of Solus Prime to the enemy. You think Megatron wouldn't have killed him once he found out what Dreadwing did?
