    Loved it, I don't think I'll forget this one anytime soon. "You've earned a place at the Table....."

    Now I wonder how many transformers fans are going to from now on think "Dissecting Table" and cringe a little.

    It is absolutely hilarious how many people are so incredibly certain that Cylus is dead. Man.... you guys are easier to fool than toddlers.

    Oop! Got your nose!

    I think, it is more productive to study him alive. Otherwise he is to go rotten.
    Wonder, if he needed to wash his face or something.

    It was pretty good, except for one thing...

    It doesn't piss me off that they killed Silas or did whatever with him... it pisses me off they dropped the character, or the story opportunity. They have a habit of getting rid of everything interesting.

    Am I the only one who now hopes for some dark scenes of the dissection of Cylus in the next episode or future episodes? Sigh, they wouldn't do anything that creepy though knowing the writers...hearing Cylus screaming as he's Dissected.....and Breakdown being an evil scientist....

    Actually wouldn't mind hearing Cylus screaming for some reason....

    Oh and Fowler seems to be one of the better human characters...and where the blasted heck is Dreadwing??!! Probably sent off to find some relic.

    It's kinda funny, after watching the episode again, I expected it to go this way:

    Megatron: "CyLAS, you have earned your place at the table."
    CyLAS: "Thank you, Lord Megatron."
    Megatron: "The dissection table!"
    CyLAS: "Wha-?"
    Knockout: "Breakdown would be tickled."
    CyLAS: "But... why?"
    Megatron: "Because I'm a prick."

    :lol

    Silas was so treacherous, that is was too much even for the Decepticons.
    Might be, the Decepticons really were a force Silas wanted to serve to, but still he could act like StarScream or KnockOut.

    Goodbye MECH and Silas! You were horrible and stupid villains since day one and I'm glad we don't have to deal with MECH bullshit anymore!

    You're a fool if you think all that buildup culminated in that one episode. We'll be seeing a lot more of Silas and Mech.

    Great episode, after the very slow start of the show (except for the great pilot episodes) this was another good episode that makes me say: I now really like the show. Finally. But I had to think that some parts of this episode might not be suited well for children.

    If anything to do with that resurfaces in a future episode it might be as one of those more two dimensional (for want of a better term) flashback sequences. Or this may have been the last of Silas.

    It is interesting to note that Silas gleaned information on Jack via social media to use with Airachnid and this time, events leading to his demise furnished the Decepticons with Raf's location. I wonder if this is a plot point for future use.

    I just hope Cylas somehow escapes and just goes back to being the third viable threat and possibly give us headmasters or powermasters, I doubt it but I can hope.

    Also I could help it

    Just watched the episode and I loved it!

    Silasdown (or Cylas, as he calls himself) was pretty cool. His new body, and he himself, look like a grotesque patchwork and it's quite disturbing. Awesome.
    He also murdered humans for no reason other than because he could, wrecked a whole base by himself and played smoothly in the face of Megs with his fancy satellite. Of course, things go badly for him and now the chap is gonna become a lab-rat for KO. Fitting.

    Meanwhile, Bulkhead is feeling grumpy. Smoke tries to cheer him up, but NOPE. So, the Autobots decide to go save the day when Soundwave hacks everyone. I love how when Bulky is all eager to roll, Optimus, who is normally the guy to tell peeps when not to do things, just ignores him and let's Ratchet do it. Smooth, Prime.

    Anyway, Raf's 1337skillz save the day. Soundwave has zero fucks to give and heads off. KO scares me as the 'Cons drag off Cylas. Seriously. LOOK AT HIS FACE.

    And Bulky likes Smoke now. Sure, whatever :lol 

    AWESOME. Meta777 is pleased :D

    There is NO WAY Megatron would ever trust a human who bodyjacked a cybertronian who also constantly gave him lip to not try and screw him over at some point.

    And to be fair, he's right. Offing his crew like that was a legendarily dickish move, even for a certified prick like Cylas. Also, he's made another terrible mistake.

    He's not one of them.

    Enough of his human body remains that it's a certainty he will age and die in there. And with his troops dead, he's SOL there.

    It was nice to see that Breakdown is remembered with fondness by the 'cons, particularly Knock Out. Shows that while they all be tyrannical and/or brutal monsters, they have some sense of camaraderie. It was a nice little sentiment from Knock Out at the end, there. I'm sure he'll have lots and lots of fun with the study.

    But this does leave room for Cylas to survive for quite a while. I can't imagine Knock Out is in any hurry to finish up with him.

    Nice moment with Bulkhead barreling back into action. Outmatched, still injured, he showed what "Wreck n' Rule" is all about. Yes, he was whiny and annoying, but I think the fight scene and particularly his complement to Ratchet was a nice payoff.

    Overall, I liked it. Good pacing, suitably dark, Soundwave got to be awesome again, but I did think the Damocles was indeed a little pathetic. Obviously it sucked against any target that was actually mobile. And again, I don't think this is the last we'll see of Cylas at all.
