| I still dont get how sticking the arm of a dead prime would mean Megatron could then use such autobot devices. I thought that being a Prime is not so much to do with the physical aspects, but what makes the bot a Prime in his spark (his personality, beliefs and moral code.) as such Megatron has none of those qualities so it shouldn't matter how many limbs he connects to himself from other dead primes, he should not be able to use anything. |

| I've thought the very same thing. That would be like (although morbid and icky) taking MLK's or Ghandi's left pinky toe and grafting it to your own body. Although you now have the body part of a great person in history grafted to your body, a humanitarian and champion of social change this does not make you! More than likely the show writers have a great concept for how this works and I look forward to seeing that play out. However, if it's simply a matter of Meg's grafting on dead Prime parts... then I will be mightily disappointed. |


| It looks like it takes place before the Egypt thing because it seems Optimus has just finished recieving his message from Alpha Trion and is falling over (notice how everyone is closing in around him with concern instead of rushing to get somewhere)> |
| Megatron's going graverobbing? So much for not being a ghoul. |

| Even if attitude is what made Optimus become a Prime it doesn't change the fact that the 13 were MADE Primes by ROBOT GOD. Their bodies are Prime bodies from the beginning. If that arm belongs to somebody important instead of, say, a random Zeta Prime-like leader, it totally makes sense for it to be compatible with 13 artifacts. |
