    What do people think this is? IDW? If your shocked they didn't kill of a main character, your completely fucking ignorant. It's probably the darkest show we've gotten, but it's still a kid's show.

    The Prime writers didn't write that. Your aware of that, aren't you?

    To be fair, the Insecticon had the stuff blown into him as shrapnel.

    I like to think he WAS Shrapnel too. For irony's sake.

    So G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, and Animated also weren't kid's shows? They all had no problem letting main character(s) die. It has nothing to do with being a kid's show. Especially when we can see Vehicons getting their guts ripped out and Breakdown in pieces.

    Yet another bit of proof that Wheeljack is actually Makeshift.

    Of course the writers didn't write the random TV description :p  I was referring to the TV description, which describes what the episode is about, so if the description says "near fatal", then we can assume Bulkhead's brush with Hardshell was near fatal and didn't kill him. Which is part of the story that the writers, well, wrote. I was simply implying that with all the hints they gave in the last episode, it would have made the most logical sense for Bulkhead to be dead, not near-dead.

    BEAST MACHINES is the darkest TF show we have gotten. Megatron committed MASS GENOCIDE on Cybertron, before the Maximals got there. EVERY main character, with the exception of Optimus Primal and Megatron, DIED in the finale before Optimus sacrificed his and Megatron's life to reformat Cybertron and bring everyone back to life.

    Prime is NOWHERE near as dark as Beast Machines was, and to claim it is is nothing more then pure ignorance talking.

    Didnt the other description say that his tox en poisoning may prove more fatal the Insecticons? Maybe Ratchet fixes his injury and Miko and Wheeljack head off to kill Hardshell only to find out Bulkhead died while they were out or something.

    That's cool. My six year old was pretty sad about losing Bulkhead. This will make him very happy!

    If having a crater blown into his back didn't kill Bulkhead, mere traces of the Tox-en crap is not going to finish the job. Saying so would imply that Tox-En is in fact stronger than Dark Energon, which even considering the crap Prime has pulled out of its ass to justify some things is a silly assumption.

    Except its a highly refined bioweapon thats explicitly stated to be able to kill a whole lot of autobots and Bulkhead was carrying it around while it poisoned him over the course of the ep. Here is the other descripion anyway:

    Miko and Wheeljack embark on a quest for revenge after discovering that the final relic in the hunt may have proved more fatal to Bulkhead than the Insecticon warriors who pursued him

    Yeah, consider me disappointed that Bulkhead apparently lives. As much as I don't want to see him go, they set things up for his death. Only way I'll be more disappointed is if he really is all good again in just a short time.

    Excuse me while I act like a total ass.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I TOLD YOU SO!

    Sorry but I really did call this. Man, I'd hate to be someone who actually thinks Prime is great right now. I just hope they at least have Wheeljack kill Hardshell. He's a pathetic excuse for a character.

    Yeah, that wasn't the way to put it. I overreacted a bit, but I still mean what I said. Blukhead's living isn't a shock. The guy's practically invincible. While his death would have been good for the plot, I'm just hoping he's in a coma for a while. Who knows? With how long Hasbro said they wanted to keep Prime running, maybe they weren't ready for the death of a main character. Not dying isn't the same, but maybe it still can add something to make it interesting.

    Sorry, I'm tired and I thought you meant something else. Never post with low amounts of sleep!

    I'll wait until the episode airs before I make my final judgment.

    Plus, episode descriptions don't give away everything that will happen in the episode.

    Dammit.

    I was hoping he'd be dead. Especially after that montage last episode.

    And here I was hoping they'd have the balls to change the status quo of team Prime....

    So much for that.

    Near-fatal... well I'm stuck in-between happiness and disappointment.
    Happy due to Bulkhead not dying, disappointed due to the same.
    Ah well, it'll take a lot more for me to stop watching the show.

    Okay...They were probably just doing their jobs...plus when HASN'T an episode synopsis for TFP been misleading? Almost EVERY time, but they also know that it's going to please more fans than disappoint, or at worse, split the vote 50/50.
    I've said b4 it seems that the writers for TF series get a little more daring towards the end of a series, instead of the 1st or 2nd seasons. Just my :2c:
