I'm well aware that it's a kid's show. I'm merely stating my thoughts about the unresolved plot points. Apparently some people here get all up in my face about it, saying "ZOMG UR WRONGGZZZ! THIS IS WUT HAPPND!!!" They're making a big deal out of some thoughts that I THINK ABOUT from the show. They're MY OPINIONS. No one here has to freak out over them. I'm not criticizing the show, I'm just nitpicking.

I've read only a few comics (before the comic book shop near me got closed way back when I was young), but I know well that it's okay to keep any character's fate open-ended. I'm just not used to having a show getting canned right before it gets so good (and pity me, Megas XLR was one of them). And as far as bringing back dead characters in comics, I agree with you wholeheartedly; it's just downright laughable.

Okay, you got me there. But I guess Wreck-Gar was more of a one-off character to me. He didn't really have much to contribute (except save the city in "Garbage In, Garbage Out" and help out Sari in "Human Error-Part 2").

And again, I'm well aware that it is a childrens' show. But I guess I'm trying too hard to compare Animated to Beast Wars. I have to agree with you there.

Again, you got me there. But I still think it would have been creative of them to give us at the very least some explanation.

I can't argue with that. At least the writers know how to be creative with their stories. If only more movie writers were like that...(I can only dream).

 

Fantastic episode. I can't believe this show is ending.

I really like the whole thing with Arcee talking in her old programming. Kind of gave her some life, but in a creepy sort of way. It really added to that feeling that she is a shell of her former self.

I thought it was cool that Bumblebee, although failing in his initial mission, went ahead and improvised and was able to return to Earth with something of use.

I got a huge kick out of seeing the 3 big clones being made. I thought that was really creative how they took on the look of Lugnut after they got his program put in them. The arm wings and face etc.

Now I am hoping they go and make some big figures for Omega and the Lugnut clones. Surely, that would drive the "WE WANT LEADER LUGNUT!" folks crazy being so close.. but not quite what they wanted. But the odds of this happening are slim to none. It'd just make sense because the molds would be very similar so they could easily do two versions. And inevitably have to make 3x as many of the Lugnut versions. Pack in a Legends class Ratchet with Omega (I've suggested this numerous times) and pack in a Legends class Lugnut with his big clones. Win and win.

I think Shockwave is up to something. He definitely seemed to have his own motivations when he confirmed that Arcee still had the codes.

Starscream... got owned. That was pretty sweet. I wonder what he ends up doing in the last episode....

I hope the Autobots manage to take the fight to the moon and save the remaining protoforms. I wonder if Sari will be there to see where she most likely came from?

 

I like the plot... and Wingblade Prime is finally revealed, aka Powermaster Prime   ooops sorry I was thinking of God Ginrai. Powermaster Prime with Godbomber.

 

Awesome episode. I couldn't help but laugh when the... I'll call them 'Omega Sentinels' got Lugnut faces.

Prime trying to fly was funny. Why did Femmescream fly away when she thought he was a flying Autobot? (Because technically he isn't)

OH NOES. What will become of Starscream? I think he'll join the Autobots to help them take down Megatron... as soon as he can move again.

When BB and Bulkhead were listening to Megatron and the static kept interfering, I was waiting for one of them to go; "Well THAT was helpful."

Nice to know how Prowl joined up with them. And he really was a very angry person back then. For good reason, I suppose... wonder what he's gonna do with that fragment he got.

Hope they don't kill Arcee...

 

But they were so coooooooooool... ^_^ Especially Blackout. I think he may be the Decepticon version of Bulkhead: A big, lovable oaf.  

Funny, Derrick Wyatt commented in his blog that Blurr was still alive when we saw him get cubed.

No one ever said in the show that Dirt Boss and Mixmaster were slagged. For all we know, they could still be alive, just not in one piece, though. As for Scrapper, the whole "48 days" thing, and the rusty beard he grew was just him being delirious.

*Sigh* You need to rewatch the ending. Waspinator is STILL ALIVE, just in pieces (I nice little nod to Beast Wars Waspinator always getting blown up all the time). He even says "Wazzzzpinator have plazzzzzzzz..." And guess what? Blackarachnia's with him, too! And as far as them being transwarped into the jungle, they're not in the past, they're in the present time, just teleported to a different location (probably a jungle on Earth, or just a jungle-like planet with Earth-like creatures). As far as I know, I'm sure the two would probably work together to create some sort of makeshift space bridge out of bamboo and nuts and it'd work, given how lighthearted Animated is. BUT, since there's been no confirmation of a fourth season, I might agree with you. And I may agree more when we find out at Botcon.

Well, since fans have gone rampant with speculation that (and this in my OWN, PERSONAL OPINION) Animated is ending, they've probably been written off from the show for good.

Thundercracker would probably threaten Skywarp to come with him to Earth or Cybertron, considering how he's the EGOMANIAC clone of Starscream. He'd either go to Cybertron to conquer it, or go to Earth and slag the original Starscream just to show the other 'bots who's boss. Just a theory.

As I've responded to Digilaut's response, it would REALLY suck if we never hear from Ultra Magnus ever again. But, the writers have known to give us a few twists here and there (like the Lugnut Supremes, seriously, who saw THOSE coming?), so who knows?

Again, who knows?

You got me there on that one.

No, I'd like it if the series ended with SOME Decepticons jailed, and at the very end have the Autobots search the galaxy for any remaining Decepticons. Granted, it wouldn't be the most awesome ending, but it'd be a good ending nonetheless.

Or the puddle that Meltdown melted into just happened to have smiled evilly.

Laserbeak carrying Soundwave away is a plot hole? No, that IS a dangler. Soundwave being rebuilt was a plot hole that wasn't closed up because NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HOW SOUNDWAVE CAME BACK ONLINE. And fans have given me the same answer "He rebuilt himself." Okay, I can believe that, do you have proof of Soundwave rebuilding himself, other than the very end of "Sound and Fury" with Soundwave glowing red with evil? No? Just that ending as proof? Well, IMO, I think that they should have at least SHOWN Soundwave rebuilding himself. THAT would have worked.

Seems to be accurate in my mind.

 

Here's what I got out of this episode: I WANT a Wingblade Optimus Prime toy. NOW!!! Hasbro, are you listening to me? WANT NOW!!!!

 

Thanks!

However, none of the fanwank so far has been done at the expense of character development. I'd rather see Prime beat Megatron own his own merits (and his jetpack and the Magnus hammer, I guess,) rather than not win until his gets a deus ex machina GEEWUN CULLWEN UPGWADE.

 

you know, the backpack pre-stabilizers looked kind of like this:

yeah, i was beaten to it

can't it homage both?
God Ginrai didn't have a retractable mouth plate... 

yes, i too found it... excellent!

 

Loved it.

- I did kinda get the feel that Shockwave has his own motivations.
- Prime's armor: I don't know, kinda felt like a random moment to me. "I want a flying upgrade so I can keep up with Megatron." Maybe he was jealous of the others.  
- Femmescream: I want a toy!!!

The Decepticons are going to such epic lengths here that I want them to win! But we'll see how well three huge Omega clones do under the control of Lugnut. Part 2 here we come!

 

I know, it's like she noticed he was a flying Autobot and didn't want to fight him anymore.

 

Well, it is Shockwave. Given the history his namesakes have, I get that feeling too.

 

Just saw it on YouTube. Wow! Just...wow! Megatron, you son of a glitch, you offlined Starscream...AGAIN!!!

 

Oh, for Sparks sake. I came here to see the reaction here and see such petty arguing, I don't know why I expected different after these last few episodes, we really are unpleasable as a fandom.

Anyway, fantastic episode IMHO.

 

Something someone mentioned on TF wiki of all places

"Megatron purposely started the Shockwave/Lugnut feud, knowing Starscream would try to seize Omega Supreme's access codes, just to be sure Lugnut would be in his most loyal state at the moment of the transfer? Now, that's some sleeky fore-thinkings..."

Wow... who knew he's that much of a Chessmaster?
The Chessmaster - Television Tropes & Idioms

 

I saw it, quite neat. Where was Blitzwing?

 

He's in jail back on Cybertron, along with Ramjet and Sunstorm.

 

Ah, thanks. I forgot about that.

 

That's one gripe this season: barely any Blitzwiing
