    Oooff, I forgot to mention that Megatron is apparently a triple changer, @GAUGE and @Esquilax79!

    The NBK Megs does look fantastic, but I guess this gives Iron Factory another option if they don’t go down the IDW hovertank, Autobot Megatron. :p 

    And, I was also really wondering if my namesake was about to bite the dust last night! :eek: 

    But, ya know, at least Grimlock remembered how to breath Fire and not just Roar. I can only imagine what he might’ve done if he could transform and bunch people, or slice and dice with a flaming blade... ;) 

    I also suspect that Megatron saying he shook off Unicron once sounds like Hot Rod is definitely in there somewhere and will be freed by series end.

    Most of all, it really is weird how they were Kung Fu fighting one second and then lazily sauntering around one another. Gareth Huw Evans’ The Raid, this is not.

    Oh, and @Rodimus Prime, I’m pretty sure the Tumblr Uploads are for folks outside of America! :D

    Huh. Finally watched all the available episodes, without watching the previous two series. By the posts here I was expecting it'd have the same effects as staring into the ark of the covenant, but I actually kinda like it. Don't get me wrong, it has a lot of flaws, it's not even close to the quality of Animated or Prime my two favourite series, but it's far from abysmal. Much better than Energon IMHO.

    And Megatron does really steal the show.

    Victorion was kind of annoying, but Windblade is surprisingly alright I dunno how she was in the previous two series, but in this one she seems far from op (throwing that one dinobot (Snarl?) doesn't count, since that was a rather classic example of using someone's own strength against them in a throw) and, for the most part, is quite helpful. I liked that she worked mostly as a distraction - without her sword she really can't go up against the stronger opponents.

    As a side note, is it just me, or is she modelled after Iron Factory's Miho? Especially the legs. Her Titans Return toy has a much bulkier male body and her T30 and Rid toys are sculpted much differently. She looks like a slightly reproportioned Miho with a non-anime head.

    Kinda disappointed that we didn't get Lobo Rodimus.

    Overlord kinda comes off as a spoiled brat.

    I like Primal.

    Looks like Megatron's gonna have to blast a bitch.

    Doesn't Perceptor have any weapons? I always thought his microscope could double as a cannon.

    One might think that would be foreshadowing that Hot Rod may be able to make his way back too. That is expert storytelling.:rolleyes2

    And why in the hell are the Dinobots such pussies?!? Even when combined they were a complete joke. They can't get even out of a hole that they're sitting in!!! God forbid Grimlock should actually transform into bot-mode and trying fighting back since his T-Rex mode is useless against any Decepticon.

    Because machinima has been releasing the episodes on the official prime wars trilogy tumblr as well as go90

    Megatron turned into both a tank and a gun in combiner wars

    I am immensely satisfied with this episode. Being an action snob of sorts this absolutely passed my bar, have not had such quality action since the TR series. There was a very good amount of intensities throughout making a suspenseful episode. Potps has been good up until now however it has really upped the ante and I hope this momentum continues.

    That last episode was too short. I really like that team-up, just wish Victorion was still there. I already miss her "righteous paladin" talk lol.

    I'm surprised at how much i like Megatron/hate Overlord. It breaks from the eternal fight between Megs vs Optimus in a good way.

    Perceptor had a minor role in this episode, but he's still my favorite from the series.

    Only thing i didn't like was Optimus Primal. He feels out of place and doesn't do much.

    Follows my theory that the story role was scripted so pretty much ANY of the fan vote winners could be shoehorned in. He does nothing that says "look, this is a unique 'optimus Primal' thing"

    So...

    Did we ever get told WHAT Overlord is seeking revenge for? Or is it just Generic Non-Specific Vengence™? Did Megatron lend a fiver off him and never pay it back? Did he shit in his toilet and forget to flush?

    Jeez this series really is shit!!! How the hell can Hasbro claim this is for their older fans? It’s actually insulting they think this little of their more mature customers to offer up this level of crap.

    oh and pleeaaaasssse(!) windblade offering a serious physical challenge to both overlord and Rodimus Cron whilst they beat the snot out of Megatron and grimlock without even breaking a sweat and killed combiners a few weeks ago with the same lack of effort. Yet she puts up more of fight than all the others combined. Come on that’s ridiculous. Make her clever, witty, a natural leader whatever, at least those qualities are believable, her be8ng this ultimate bad ass and so crazy OP is annoying me senseless and actually making me get all illogical and hate the character when I really shouldn’t :(

    Not the worst episode, still bad.  The power levels are all over the place.

    He was useless. He just kept standing out of the way, waiting for Overlord and Rodimus to kill everybody else and then kill him.

    Whoever's setting up these fights has really weak grasp on pacing and spacing if you ask me. Some parts are cool but they're so disjointed it looks like a demo reel without the narration.

    Well, the way i see it, he's pretty much like a civilian. He's not trained for combat and knows he'd get killed in a second if he tried anything.

    I know i would've done the same lol.

    No, I mean literally taking one step to the left and standing just barely out of the way. He should've stayed working on the computer or run away or basically anything other than waiting for a stray arm, leg, or tail to break his nose.
