    The episode was... interesting. I liked how it seemed to target the actual viewers' nitpicking.

    Pretty much sums up this lazy excuse of an episode.

    Especially answering the burning question of how Fowler keeps flying in his suit and tie. :D

    Whatever my misgivings about the episode in general, I have to admit that that was indeed awesome.

    I love when clip shows don't take themselves seriously. BUT at least now we get how the suit works. I loved it. Nice light hearted change of pace. I'm guessing they threw this in here because more serious stuff is coming.

    was an okay episode, judging from the preview for next week, this one was mostly a clip show to help give them extra time so they could put more time into the next ep.

    I liked it. and I agree that this episode may be written to buy more time for them to churn out more awesomeness of the heavier stuff for the coming episodes (animation-wise).

    one more thing, I'm not a 100% Miko hater but I found the re-cap of her saying:
    "I love breaking stuff", "VROOM! VROOM! VROOM!", "Wasted", "Bring the heart", etc
    made me see why she was included in the first place - cute factor.

    but seeing her say "NEVER!!!" to Megatron... brought some of the annoyance back.

    Oh, just watched it! :D 

    Grill was pretty cool; nice to see stuff from Fowler's angle, and of course, to find out how his jet can keep him comfy in a regular suit XD

    Well, there were funny bits; the montage of the Autobots 'taking punishment' was amusing, the Fowler/BReakdown scene returned and the unicorn bit killed me laughing XD

    Not much else to say on a recap, but looking forward to the next episode :D

    I think this episode was more of a breather episode. With all the successive episodes with ever so increasing intensity, it may be hard for them to keep up the pace. It's like having so much milkshake and sugar that the taste of fruits become dull. So they put this out to wash the palate and enable the viewers to enjoy the next episode without comparing it too much to what came before.

    Interesting.

    The Unicron/unicorn joke made me laugh, but it was the ending that really gave a huge giggle fit. Who knew Optimus had been watching Star Wars. :lol

    I very much like this episode.

    This is probably the best clip show episode of any show since the Simpsons. It gave clear cut explanations for many things from Silas's origin of being ex special ops and his name Leland Bishop, The Reasons for justifying the kids's involvement in the show (other than for protection) and eve explaning why Fowler can fly a jet without a flight suit (since you know the budget is limited).

    The ending with Optimus meeting Bryce was hilarious and i love how the last scene is the battery finally running out of power.

    Again this entire seasons been a home run after another and now i can't wait to see the rise of the Insecticons.

    The battery running power with Optimus in front of the camera for some reason reminded me of Cloverield and other shaky cam film styles.

    This episode makes me wonder of how long Fowler has been with the autobots given his relationship with them seems to have only started to evolve around the time the kids arrived.

    It seems that he was just assigned to his position when the autobots where already somewhat accustomed to earth. If he wasn't the first liason, then who came before him. And I wonder if we'll get to see them later on in the series.

    This episode was shit and probably the worst ever tf episode I have ever seen. Whoever thought this would be a good idea should be sacked. There's enough filler episodes without this utter CRAP.

    I loved the Unicron/Unicorn confusion...also the clip of Fowler using the Autobot communication grid doing the 'ol Han Solo "we're ok down here...how are you?" bit...that ALWAYS cracks me up...especially Fowler's facial expression...I LOL so hard at that.
    It was also funny to hear them mention that Nemesis Prime was a knock off.
    I don't mind the retrospective episodes...seems like everyone does at least one no matter the franchise.

    Ridiculously boring episode, imo... It was nice to see how Fowler sees the group, though. And it was about time that they explained why Fowler never wears a flight-suit.

    Otherwise a fairly boring episode. Can't wait until next week.

    Didn't they say Silas' name was Leland Bishop, or something close to it, or is that just my imagination?

    Interesting and kinda creepy....

    "General Bryce needs confirmation of your well being."
    "I am fine, Genera Bryce. How are you?"

    :lol 

    Best part of the episode for me.
