However, I do agree with you, Deleter, I feel Sylas will probably escape and may kill Knockout in the process even.

But that's not possible, since Knockout will be returning in "Hard Knocks".

Brilliant episode! for sure the best of the season

though i believe it would have worked better as a two-parter if not to see it all play out better.

Now if that is the end of Mech and Silas i'll be a little dissapointed but i do not think it's over.

Either Knockout can tap into breakdowns inner self and revive him somehow...or Silas can break out causing Megatron to be angry at knockout and sent him on a mission to hunt him down leading to a confrontation with starscream who convinces both cons to join him as their own new faction. ohkay i know not gonna happen but one can only hope right ? I'd hate to see all this potential go to waste.

Anyways..great episode, looking forward to seeing the upcoming episodes but I'm kind of sad the seasons coming to a close soon.

Anyway, he wasn't a wanted man. Someone on that base, someone up the command chain, had business with him.

I thought the same thing that you did at first and the guard just let him. But when they showed the guard house smoking and all the destroyed stuff I got the impression they just didn't let him in. I think the guard took one look at Silas and said "You no come in here freak!" and the destruction began. I can't say if he was a wanted man, but I don't think he had any military connections anymore. Well, he certainly didn't after that.

But personally I'm going with Silas was the top dog of MECH and had no one above him. His actions single handedly destroyed MECH, at least as we know it. But I do think the ending was to abrupt and should have had at least two episodes dedicated to the end of MECH.

By the way, i took Leyland Bishop to be an Aliens/Android reference?

A corruption of Weyland-Yutani, mixed with Bishop the Android, both from the Alien franchise?

Perhaps. Though I wished his codename was Bishop rather than Silas.

Again, has been said 100x by now...

Where is the body?

Cardinal rule of "deaths" in this genre, people.

I think he/she was referring to the fact that she was an angry mom ready to lay the beatdown because Raf was fooling around in his room. I'm not latino, so I can't place it first hand, but from what I understand, a latino or black (I understand in this case) mother is a demon when they're angry and you're fooling around lol. Better cover that butt, the belt's comin'. I did kind of laugh at it though, since she had the accent and used like 4 middle names (all pretty 'latino names for the sake of being latino names') on Raf.

Why did Silas go back to Megatron after his fight with Bulkhead? Clearly, Megatron didn't have any respect for him.
