Zap2It has updated their page with the new title for the first episode of season 2.

Transformers Prime Episode Guide - Zap2it

It's called:

Orion Pax - Part 1

Megatron manipulates the impaired Optimus into joining the Decepticons.

And it airs on the aforementioned 2/18/12 date.

 

Finally, a thread like this that DOESN'T involve wikipedia or imdb...

Anyways, it's nice to know that the season will begin with a multi-parter, though hopefully this one isn't more than three episodes. Should be interesting to see what all happens in this season.

 

The question is "is it true?"

 

Zap2It is a TV listings website that hardly gets stuff wrong. Odds are that it's true.

 

Boy am I VERY GLAD we got a episode name that ISN'T from freaking IMDB this time.

 

Good find, antimony29!  

I saw the thread title and was this close to opening up a can of "quote and bold and increase size" is I saw "Wikipedia" or "IMDB".

I'm going to guess that the episode (as dictated by the synopsis) revolves around Megatron basically informing Orion of the events that have transpired, but twisting and skewing them, trying to make the "decision" easier for Orion. You know, "The evil Autobots destroyed Cybertron. They left us kind and merciful Decepticons for dead, to fend for ourselves. They exiled us good and faithful Decepticons from the planet and those large, scary and violent Autobots hunt us for sport."

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks for the info!

 

awesome! it needs to be feb 18th already!

 

Awesome, not too long or stupid.

 

"Orion Pax -Part 1"
Great. This is just going to be a three-parter and at the end Optimus will have regained his memories won't he? *sighs*

 

Cool, its three parts? Are they all new or just the Orion Pax one?

 

Souds good!   Can't wait!!!

 

They said that the entire arc would be Prime trying to regain his memories. So no.

I hope the finale is titled Rising Prime.

 

Oh thank god for that

 

Great news so far!  I hope we can get news of the other episodes too evetnully!

I can't wait to see how Megatron will try to talk Optimus into joining the Decepticons.....But If I'm right Optimus will have some second thougts and conflits in the process.

 

I don't know. We did see a promo with Knock Out placing a 'Con insignia on Prime.

 

That was my thought as well, except I think we'll be lucky if it's even a 3-parter.

It might be a 2-parter.

 

The writers seem to have a good set of brains.

Anyone else think this will be a decepticon-centric episodes?

 

hell yeah!
