    Seconded. Ratchet's the best goddamn character on the show IMHO; if he dies I'll ... I'll switch to Rescue Bots or something.

    I was thinking in something less stupid, like a meeting with Alpha Trion, the last remaining of the Original Thirteen. If the Exodus line is consistent here, he was a close friend with Orion/Optimus and used to comunicate with him through Vector Sigma.

    Since he was a Merlin type character (and with the ability of foresee past, present and future) maybe he left some message to both Arcee and Jack (sir Galahad) for when they came for the secrets of Vector Sigma (the Grial) to restore Optimus (Arthur) memories.

    ^ or it was something that was written but he couldn't read it until a few days ago. Remember the Covenant of Primus he's always writing in. :D

    ^Sadly I'm going to have to avoid the preview because it will spoil the whole plot on me. XD I only want to see a small clip maybe or even the whole episode. Sorry. ^^; As much as I adore Orion Pax's adorkable facial expressions, I'm going to have to pass.

    Is anyone else wondering why Orion hasn't got a new coat of paint yet? His armor still looks heavily scuffed up from the last couple episodes of Season One.

    Maybe a new coat of paint is the least of their concerns? I wouldn't be worried about a few scrapes when there's more important things going on (defeating Unicron, decoding data, etc).

    Does everyone just forget that Megatronus shortened his name when he got into politics? Optimus was still Orion at that point, and was friends with Megatron up until the meeting with the high council.
    Megatron already knew who Ratchet was. He even called him by name saying "Ratchet is rather more spirited than I recollect".
    0:59 is when it starts here:
    TFP: Ratchet vs Megatron : I Am Your Doctor Of Doom - YouTube
    That scene also explains his nickname for Ratchet in the Orion Pax preview. Plus, I'd remember a guy's name too if he punched me square in the face.

    A very good clip, shame they cut it off when they did.

    What i don't get, is why they decided to partner up Raf with Bumblebee back in season 1, since it's becoming more likely that Ratchet would have have been a far better chioce, on an interlectual level.

    Dealing with Unicron takes priority over some paint job touch ups, yes, and aesthetics aren't really that important when decoding data files. Both valid reasons, but it stills bugs me. Megatron had Knock Out take the time to give Orion a brand spanking new Decepticon insignia, but he didn't allow a little bit of spit and polish in the process?

    Because they're probably going to partner Ratchet with someone else in the future. I'm wondering if it's the red-headed scientist in this picture from the first Titan comic (at least she and Ratchet would be color-coordinated):

    Because getting rid of the Autobot logo is pretty important. I guess I still don't see any decent reason to clean him up completely. Why bother wasting time on something trivial (to everyone except Knockout) when you need to get to the more important things at hand while you have Orion working for you. I guess that's just my thoughts tho, dunno what the real reason is.
