    But it IS innocent, unless you're some shipper.

    I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Ratchet calling Jack's mom "ma'am."

    I'm just kidding. I didn't really notice the Autobots looking much different in daytime though.

    Had to snicker listening to you guys theorize about the Airachnid and Starscream relationship after watching this weekends episode.

    Just to throw fuel on the pink fire.

    [​IMG]

    Screenshots of Arcee from every episode from Deus Ex Machina to Rock Bottom.

    I didn't spend ages going through each episode for the one pink shot either. It seems the highlights are intended to be a metallic colour, but seem to reflect various shades of pink a lot more than they reflect any other colour. I've yet to see them reflect, say, red, or bright green. Does the reflection on whatever engine they use default to pink? It's less there on Crisscross (top right) but noticeable on the lowest areas, away from the lighting - oddly, the bits that are sometimes pink don't seem to reflect the green as much as her face. I'm beginning to wonder if it's maybe something on the video files, since you guys aren't seeing it. Codec issue? Or am I just going crazy here?

    (I admit, the latter is the most likely answer.)

    The gauntlet was called the Polarity Gauntlet FYI.

    And I never noticed that the thing was an Omni Tool till it was brought up...should've seen it sooner.

    Interesting episode indeed, and great job as usual guys ;) 

    I think Arcee just walked away with a snug to rub it into Arachnid's face ~ Cuz Arachnid really treasures her prey and treasures right ? Its like taking her accomplishment or her target out of her reach to spite her over ~

    Because I get The Hub, but not in HD, and because I don't want to bother with downloading episodes of it, I watch Prime in SD.

    Honestly, I think it still looks pretty good(Especially the latest episode, Partners). Even after watching a few episodes in HD.
    Although I've never really found HD that attractive in the first place, so I may not know what I'm talking about.


    Really looking forward to the Rock Bottom Primetime.

    yeah the whole jack's mom saying how she dressed up for optimus kinda threw me through a loop as well but then i just took it as she was just trolling him, unless i'm mistaken of the definition of trolling

    Another great Primetime! :bowdown: 

    My :2c: : I thought that the 'Pastelle/Low-Def' textures you were discussing was a result of both Arcee and Bulkhead being rather coated in heavy dust, leading to their details being obscured and their usually reflective chassis having a more 'Matte' look about them. :) 

    Really, really looking forward to what you guys think of the following episode: Rock Bottom - Specifically, one particular scene involving our boy Megatron. :wink: :cool:

    All your talk of a Breakdown toy made me sad. Also, instead of June in "that scene" from the movie, how 'bout Raf?

    I don't get the show in HD, but I've never had trouble seeing in any of the night scenes. Maybe the quality of the TV has something to do with it?

    It's a shame that the Prime toyline is opening with toys that aren't as good as they could be. You'd think they would want to put their best foot forward when introducing a new line, especially since they plan to keep this Aligned continuity around for a while. And if they pay any attention to fandom at all, they're probably kicking themselves for not having Knockout and Airachnid figures ready to go. :scalper 

    BTW, this is the fan video they're talking about in the podcast, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet:

    Those are great! I like how with the Inception trailer, it's just made to be its own movie, rather than trying to completely replicate the actual trailer.

    Yeah Great Vids...

    I sent the Vid to Vangelus knowing that there was no getting around the subject of JuneXOptimus in this one. (Unless they just ignore it entirely)

    God I want that writer to appear in the show again just so we can get more moments like that.

    Oh and "Otta His Head" is the one where Megatron returns, "Sick Mind" is the one where Acree was about Murder Megs in his sleep.
