Episode 41 "Toxicity" Discussion

Hard to tell in this continuity. Not including the vehicons which don't show any, I thought they just closed their eyes.

Did Skyquake's eyes dim out when he died?

Also, the animators may just have forgotten to shut his eyes when he fell. Or it may even take a while before Bulkhead's eyes dim out. I'm not sure, but I don't think I'd put my hopes on those eyes.

Skyquake's eyes didn't dim out but he closed them.

Hope dies last.

Damn just Damn.....

What if the reason where getting this cliffhanger seasonal break because they have to edit the show's intro?

David Kaye as Hardshell is badass. First time ever he's in a Transformer show but as neither Megatron nor Optimus. I hope we see more of Hardshell.

You know Bulkhead is gonna die when Fowler finally earns his respect. Fowler was one of the best things about the episode, when get to see him deal with the requests of the otehr Autobots and I can has Cheeseburger. The internet is leaking....

Yeah I know your all pissed about the same cliffhanger but if anything you should have seen that comming, the commercial/promo shows a rewind of the events of Triage and they pretty much close off all loose ends in the Quadrauple T saga.

Now Bulkhead is both dead and alive. Schrodinger's Cat if you will.

The entire episode seems to have been build to give Bulkhead a final homage badass moment before his sacrifice. Still more meaningful than Breakdown´s.

And Hardshell has showed us his prowness as Team Megatron´s new Brute.

I hope this time at least the writters take the opportunity of give Miko character development.

I hope we haven't seen the last of Hardshell. He could be Breakdown's replacement in the big bruiser dept.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up ( didn't read the whole thread), but I think we'll get a Hardshell toy. If he were a show only character, Hasbro would have probably called him Bombshell, since you don't need the trademark for a character in a show. You DO need it for a toy, so maybe they're already planning it... Here's hoping for a voyager Hardshell!

The episodes are produced long in advance. If the intro was changed they wouldn't need a break.

If Bulkhead isn't already dead by the beginning of the next episode, then he'll probably survive. No way will they do an episode trying to save him only for him to croak at the end. The best bet is to start the next episode at his funeral and go from there... This episode already had the drama and flashbacks. We don't need that again.

Question: In this continuity, is it possible to transfer sparks from a damaged frame to another?

OMG! Wow, just wow! That episode was just fantastic!

I was really happy to learn that David Kaye was in the show. I instantly recognised his voice the moment Hardshell stepped into view (that sneaky little two minute preview clip!). I even squeaked when Hardshell said BW Megatron's infamous line: "Yessss." Did anyone catch that? David Kaye's take on Hardshell seemed like a cross between TFA Lugnut Grimlock, and BW Megatron. Absolutely awesome! Even his grunts were recognizable.

I loved those flashbacks of Bulkhead being in terrible situations back in the past. It reminds us that he is a character that doesn't go down easily (except maybe right now). I even found Miko as his motivation very adorable to the point in making me scream out: "Don't give up, Bulk! Think of Miko!" They really do share a special bond.

All in all, a fantastic episode! I was crying from laughing at Fowler's delierious moment. CHEEZEBERGAR FOWLER! LOL!

Hmmm...valid question.
