A character has a specific word they use occasionally, this is surely a sign of the endtimes.

No…that was Ratchet. They were starting some kind of interface.

You betcha. Kinda surprised it took so long for someone to notice, lol.
Anyways, as for the possibility of Optimus kicking the bucket, I don't think we'll have to worry about that in this first season, let alone the show itself, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'll be surprised if he "dies" due to this plague, but I can easily imagine it putting him out of commission for a while.

Insults could be thrown in Beast wars due to the looks of the animal forms, lizard lips, vermin, stripes , bird lady, Mega-dumb etc. The Beast wars characters like Dinobot and rattrap who slung most of the insults or nicknames felt charming and not forced.
With vehicles we got the insult of "oh , you're one of those", from starscream which was good but I don't see many others been thrown round.
Hopefully Optimus survives this whole series to make a first and the stop the repditiveness that we see all the time. There's one or two in the Autobot contingent I'd like to see die and be replaced by more interesting characters.

Maybe not compared to all entertainment, but it sure beat hearing 'scrap' over and over.
(Props to them realizing that and only using 'scrap' one or two times since episode five, at least.)

As a massive Beast Wars fan, I'm lost on this. Maybe it's just because I've heard it so much, but what "clever" terminology did BW have that Prime doesn't?
Asside from the robot insults, which TBH hurt more times than they entertained, I don't recall the techno-babble being exactly "clever."

I will get you next time Sprocket!

I was thinking more Beast Wars, but thanks for playing!
shroobmaster
Oh yes CYBER NINJA was very clever!
Challenger
Well maybe this episode and the next will help give him and Bumblebee a little more character depth.

A "new" rerun as in not watching Predatory every time, a rerun of a new, different episode. I love Predatory, but watching it over and over could spoil the magic.
You must have hated Animated, between the Circuit-Su, Processor over Matter, etc.
Sprocket
Cybonic plague? I'm reeeeaaally missing the more clever terminology of previous shows: hopefully we can see more of it by next season.
As for Prime dying, I honestly can't bring myself to care. You know he won't, and he's too boring a character for you to feel any sympathy towards. Ah well, whatever keeps his and Bumblebee's screen time minimal is okay by me.

How can they be new if they're reruns?
Honorbound
Put that way, the premise of TFP sounds really awesome and well-thought out. Animated may have been good, but I didn't really notice an underlying theme to the show other than a group of flunkies maturing into heroes.
Wars
This episode looks fucking awesome! They really built some suspense with that trailer! I'm really excited to see it!
This cortical psychic patch sounds very interesting. As some already said, probably will lead towards the events of episode fourteen, with Megatron hacking into Bumblebee's head while he searches for a cure.
jgoss
at least i'm not the only one with a white board

About the survivors of a terrible war that destroyed their planet trying to protect their new home from the same monsters that ruined Cybertron in first place.
It's about two factions, but the WAR has stopped long ago and it left both sides homeless and even scattered around space, Optimus said it himself in the very first episode, they owe Cybertron's memory survival.
'Tries to make you look like a star wars fan"? Stop tripping balls, you nitpick about "im prettu sure i dunt use capsl ock" then goes and twist what I said then acts like it matters.
