Episode 47 "Alpha; Omega" Discussion

I'll just say it again.

I don't understand why most people are gushing over Takei voicing A3 over anything else in the entire episode. Personally, I thought he did a mediocre job. I'll get flame for this I'm sure but I don't really care. Regarding the episode itself, that sword battle was pretty awesome. Could've been better but I can't get enough of this Megatron.

Also, I wonder if Megatron won't be able to transform anymore until he loses that arm.

I feel the same way about Tom Hardy's Bane.

I loved those references since I'm such a huge live action movie fan.

hahahahaha

Has anybody else noticed it, when Optimus Prime was fighting Megatron Smokescreen interfered, and Optimus clearly said "Smokescreen fall back!" which reminds me of a special scene in TF:TM when Optimus was battling Megatron, and Hot Rod interfered in the match and Prime said "Out of the way Hot Rod!", I like to think of it that is somewhat of a homage to TF:TM

Only this time the guy interfering was actually helpful.

While we're on the Hot Rod topic, what I found interesting was at the very end when the Autobots surrounded Smokescreen while OP was decoding away.

Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like Smokescreen is progress to maybe lead the Autobots one day if and when they head back to Cybertron (and maybe OP + Megs will ultimately have to die together in a stalemate... possible homage to Beast Machines?)... just a pure theory/speculation/opinion.

I'm VERY surprised they let Megatron keep his Prime arm.....

and very happy they did. I loved this episode, I was so concentrated during the whole sword fight.
