True, but just because it probably isn't Trypticon now doesn't mean it can't become him some day soon

no, the only reason it could speak was dark energon, and do you really think megatron, or really anyone is stupid enough to give it more DE.....

I doubt Dark Energon gave it life. We've seen it bring back the dead and make machines go haywire, but we have yet to see it create life. The crates holding Dark Energon never became sentient; they were just crates housing Dark Energon.

The ship was badly damaged, and who knows its true state before it crashed.

We know Dark Energon rapidly repaired the ship--the story tells us that. It appears that it repaired a mind that was also in stasis, something Megatron was unaware of ever existed.

I would like to know why it singled out Cybertronians and not Autobots/Decepticons, and why it was after the ancient relics. Why did it decode the files for the ancient relics instead of other coded files in the ship's data base? Was the ship doing Unicron's bidding or another's?

Because the plot wants more MacGuffins. And the plot controls everyone to do its bidding. Even things that were not previously alive (or explained to be).
It's so warm where I'm at that all my Transformers with rub signs are already revealing their allegiance!

I would pay money for that to happen.

But don't expect TF Wiki to update anything; Orci and Kurtzman aren't Hasbro.

A giant robot cat running around isn't very useful in terms of an alt-mode for being less conspicuous
They're robots, agility or body strength has nothing to do with weather they're humanoid or beasts. Thing is beast modes only gives them a slight advantage over vehicle modes sense having legs would allow them to travel in ways that they can never do with tires. Even with 4 wheel drive you can't climb up the side of a mountain.

Humanoid form does have one obvious advantage... hands... of course that's not really a big deal if your beast mode is a monkey.

Anyway... G1 Also had Dinobots. Which was better Grimlock or Trypticon? They're both T-Rexes. Trypticon transforms into a city and Grimlock transforms into a robot. Even though Trypticon has a huge size advantage Grimlock could still kick his aft if they weren't in T-Rex mode.

The Autobot city Transformers, Metroplex and Fortress Maximus, were both robots. They actually have the advantage over Trypticon not the other way abound. They can hold a variety of weapons. Trypticon can bite them, swing his tail, and I believe he breaths fire not sure about the last one but that's pretty much it. The other two have two arms that are actually useful, Trypticon just has his useless little T-Rex arms.

Sounwave and Blaster's cassettes, the beasts are good for spy missions but aren't really that useful in a fight. Rumble, Frenzy, Eject, and Rewind are the only ones who can actually fight.

The Beast Prime, Airachnid, and the Insecticons all have obvious robot modes. I specifically said that I don't like when characters transform from beast to vehicle with no robot mode not that I hate all beast-formers.

Characters like G1 Ravage, Laserbeak, Ratbat, Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Sky-Lynx, and Trypticon I don't like. The Dinobots, Predacons, Terrorcons, and Scorponok who all have robot modes are fine.

Should the ship transform into something other than a tyrannosaurus-like character, I would rather it not be called Trypticon. I would like to see how the art team would make Trypticon look in TP, but I wouldn't mind seeing something like what HMS did for WFC with those big beefy arms as it looked pretty bad @$$.
I wouldn't mind Trypticon being a T-Rex if they made him a tripple changer. I just don't want the T-Rex mode to mean that he can't also be a robot.

What is this shows budget and how much of it are they spending?

Hasbro seems to be pretty behind this show and their network. If there's a toy in the works, I'm sure they'll do what's necessary to make it happen in the show.
Last season ended with Unicron so I'm not sure why people think making that ship Transform wouldn't be in the budget. Plus given the revelation that the ship is alive I have a feeling the season is going to end with the Nemesis Transforming... and a really bad feeling that every season of this series is going to end with fighting some giant sized robot. I say bad feeling because that would get really repetitive real fast. I think they set the bar too high when they ended the first season on Unicron and now they have to introduce some massive Transformer at the end of every season because anything less than that would seem like the series isn't as good as that first season finally.

Meh... it'd be the size of a quarter.

That's an absurd comparison. That's like saying a bottle that holds acid isn't dissolved by the acid, therefore it must be indestructible.

How about, the only things we HAVE seen DE give life to are the dead, and they came back mindless. Unlike the ship.
