I like tacos., draqua: Well

Yes! I'm so Red-y!

Just a comment on the podcast 6min in... Last time Optimus seen Alpha Trion was before the Ark left Cybertron some 4 million years ago. So the "message from across the ages" line is not too out of place. Maybe for a Transformer seeing they live forever LOL!

Also, on the sending the items to Earth, the Covenant of Primus reads into the future. So he knew all that would play out on Earth.

Early on in season one, it was stated they have been fighting for a few tens of thousands of years or so. I don't remember the classic "4 million years" timeframe unless that something from the books. Either way, if it's still within the lifetime of a being, using the term "ages" still sounds really awkward IMO.

Yeah it's from the book. They been away from Cybertron for 4 million but have been fighting long before that. The times differ from book to show. It's hard for me to ignore the back story (books/games) while watching Prime, in a since it kinda helps fill some gaps when you look over certain things.

Well, if that's even really part of the show, its never been stated so in the actual show. Like I said, the time frame they have given us is much different. But if a Transformer's life is millions of years, to them, it shouldn't be "ages." It's like sending you a voicemail from high school, and you get it in your 40's, and you say "He sent me this message from across the ages!"

Haha, I know it's knit-picky, but it just seemed weird. Smokescreen is depicted as a very young TF, and he was with A3 in the early years of the war. If he's still a "Turbo-revving young punk" after 4 million years, the ages line is just out of place.

Glad to see the Pm made it before you recorded the show

Also, anyone noticed that Raph's mom was June's model minus her Tan coat

Hit me up on Xbox Live: Snafu Gundam

Considering Megatron killed Sentinel Zeta Prime in the novels/games, it could be his arm.
