And on the topic of the army base:

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeep! (i.e. potential Hound/Swindle/Wingnut vehicle mode)
Yup, the copters were the same model as the ones in Crisscross.

This was my least favorite episode of season 2; maybe even of the entire series. It was just...blech. The only part I enjoyed that much was the ending reveal.

Or like in Megaranger ^_^

Personally, I didn't mind Miko in previous season 2 eps, but something about her delivery in this ep was annoying to me.

"Or maybe he's been bad all this time but faking it!"

It's essentially the same line as her last season's "Optimus was a Con?". But like I said, maybe it's the delivery or something, but it annoyed me.

---

As for Silas... yeah, this ep was very "cartoon". The line where Silas said that the big difference was that he couldn't feel pain? Maybe if they showed Prime managing a solid stab or slash on Nemesis before Nemesis stabbed him back, I could have suspended my disbelief. Then it could mean that Silas was fighting in a fearless kamikaze style. But as is, Silas just seems like a bit of a Marty Stu.

---

They probably just didn't have time to build and animate a neural net type thing? But that really hurt the last part where Silas got back in the saddle but couldn't do anything to Optimus. Considering Silas blocked that initial attack and got back into the setup, there was no reason why he couldn't just pick up where he left off. Unless of course, the non-existent neural net was not re-calibrated.

Oh wait, if the control setup was based on Super Robot technology, that would explain everything. When Silas went back to the controls, his mind was unfocused and he was panicky. He lost his confidence and BURNING GUTS. This adversely affected his piloting skills thereon.

The pornographically slow transformation, "I am...and I deliver you this message," and blowing shit up at random immediately made me think "Movie Optimus!" I now really want a Nemesis Prime toy at SDCC with a nice deco. Hell throw in the little Silas figure too from that Bumblebee/Starscream two-pack.

Yeah, but only in a dream

Nemesis Prime being like Movie Prime?

lolno.

I've got an "I'm surprised you didn't mention," except I'm not really surprised. So Wheeljack has been based on Earth for two episodes now, and we haven't seen sword nor grenade or him. I guess he's kind of pulling a Tigatron and just showing up now and then, but I was half expecting he'd be a more regular cast member.
