    Nice episode. Not outstanding but cool. I loved Blurr alt mode. Was he in control of MD or he is just a dick when it comes to racing?

    Enjoyed watching it - Nice return for Bumblebee's boosters, and more of Blitzwing - but I hope they build more on the "Mysetrious Blue Car" in coming episodes... You know, kinda have him as the Racer X-esque that helps out the Autobots for reasons unknown to anyone but him... That'd be quite cool.

    master disaster used that remote control to either control Blurr completely or did what Meltdown did to the Dinobots-hurt him to the point of doing what he said. also, did anyone else notice its the same kind of controler that is used onmost RC cars? like Bumblebee and Baricade from the movie toyline-couldnt help but notice that (making me think he more or less controlled Blurr, which may have stopped him from transforming and speaking)

    I think he's undercover, I'm pretty sure he's going to keep reappearing and mysteriously keep helping the autobots until the finale.

    Unless he keeps quite. remember, those character lists didn't list him for this ep, yet obviously.

    Those lists only include characters with speaking roles. If Blurrr lays low like he did this ep than it's entirely possible he could show up some more.

    Even according to the spoilers for the next episodes (Rise of Consructicons,Fistful of Energon,SUV, Autoboot Camp), magmatron didn't even state that Blurr had a big role.Of course, people who saw Black Friday at BotCon stated that it was primarly an Optimus and Grimlock episode. He might come to Sari's rescue in " Sari,No One's Home", but who knows. That episode has "Home Alone" all over it.

    Yes, Black Friday was all about Optimus and Grimlock. It was quite an awesome episode, too.

    I'd be surprised if Blurr didn't have at least one more cameo before the big reveal, most likely though he might just be watching in the background. I think he was only attacking Blitzwing on this one occasion because he felt he owed Bumblebee one. I get the impression by the way that he helped, that he has strict orders to remain incognito.

    That said, Sari, No One's home would be a great place to show him in robot mode. Have Sari at the end of her rope, then Blurr shows and saves the day, but Sari hit her head and passes out, so all you see is a shakey, slightly blurred camera shot of Blurr's robot mode, enough to hint at his pressence, without actually showing him completely.

    Great episode. Character growth, a new human badguy (and a pretty good one at that!), action and of course: Blitzwing!

    I'm actually glad that blurr wasn't officially introduced (we know because we're all suckers for sneak previews and spoilers :D  ) . if he officially introduced himself to the autobots and then dissapeared at the end of the ep, it would be the same as the other intros we've seen, which some people we're complaining about.

    This time we have the air of suspense added!

    And just because i love quoting:

    Sari: "What, don't you trust me?!"

    BB: "Ya, like I trust myself..."

    :lol

    That's possible. I don't remember 'magmatron' mentioning him in any of his sneaks but his picture was poor so the chances of seeing blurr were fleeting.

    I did notice blurr's hood. The grey pattern did have the same shape as the elite guard symbol.

    No sign of a sneak from 'magmatron' this weekend. Hope we get something from the finale (os?).

    This episode was kinda lame, a real let down after watching the last few. A total filler episode in my opinion. You know what they say about opinions though ;)

    To be fair the only Season 2 episodes that weren't filler so far was= Mission Accomplished and Elite Guard.

    This type of Story telling, loosely connected episodes with an over-arching story, tends to have a good number of what some would consider "filler".

    I could tell season two was especially going to be an example of this once they got into "We must find the pieces of the All Spark!" mode.

    Most american series have

    *Season opener
    *10 episodes of filler
    *2-part season ender

    So of course it was filler. But unlike Japanese Animation, is this a bad thing? Japanese filler is stretching out a single episode to obnoxioulsy long storytelling, or Flashback episodes.

    I like both types of storytelling.

    Although I'm very indiscriminating person.

    I'm hoping that later on megatron turns master disasters truck and the four cars into the stunticons in a later episode that would be a great way to introduce combiners into animated in my opinion

    It got totaled when Blitzwing landed on it, but should it return I second that ^_^

    I enjoyed the episode, but a little more explanation of the Blurr-or-not-Blurr car would have been nice.
