    He doesn't know where they are. Plus the Decepticon threat elevated and Bumblebee most likely informed him about the council. Maybe after the Decepticon threat ceased, he would check it out and search for them. They all split up, so all of their locations are unknown.

    I watched the episode with a friend and we decided to make a drinking game. Everytime Bee and Optimus are bitching around we drink one cup.

    I loved that episode! I was kinda sad not seeing this reunion and to see how Strongarm and Sideswipe react when they see each other again. I absolutelly loved how Grimlock and Drift "worked together".

    Once it's uploaded in HD this will be my new PC background...dayyyym Hasbro back at it again with the badass robots.

    The ending was so awesome!


    I loved it when Steeljaw got the Decepticon Hunter weapons and Transformed one of them and just grinned at Saberhorn and Glowstrike.
    I'd love a screenshot of that and the end where
    Steeljaw holds up the weapons and shows off his new Decepticon empire.

    Another episode that cuts right to the chase, with the Autobots already rolling out to a lead on Decepticon Island.

    The reunited Autobots interact in as barely engaging a way as normal, but Optimus and Bee clashing over leadership brings something more interesting.
    It seems Ratchet's return is mostly so Optimus has someone to disclose his feelings to. It makes sense considering the main cast is formed entirely by rookies, who Optimus wouldn't feel comfortable discussing these things with. Although, I feel Ratchet now has an unusual Undertone about him that I'm interested in seeing more of.

    On the Decepticon side of things, Glowstrike and Saberhorn were fooled by Steeljaw about as easily as Steeljaw himself was last season by the Fallen. And it seems their forces are mostly comprises by Vehicons. That doesn't bode well for future action scene.

    Other than that, there's not much to the episode, but I still feel enough happened. There was a lot of exposition provided by Ratchet and Toolbox that, while is welcome, isn't that interesting.

    Overall a pretty good episode.

    vehicles are still as useless as ever, and is it your blood that determines your faction? Since toolbox injected him with some and now he's recognised as a decepticon

    Grimlock was a Decepticon at first, so it is possible whatever Toolbox did to him just reactivated his dormant Decepticon tracking signal.

    Thought it was another nice nod back to the first episodes.

    Was anyone else when Grimlock said that he feels bad for the Decepticon that has to face their whole team at once was reminded of the Teen Titans episode, it was one of the last few episodes when a Super Villain, a lone Super Villian(forgot who) was about to rob a bank, and Robins or Beast Boy was like do you think we should tell him who he's facing, then they pan up the shot and showed all the Teen Titan's members consisting 30 Superpowered beings.

    Called It.

    So glad that Ratchet came back, he's always been my favourite Autobot from Prime and Jeffrey Combs continues to deliver as his VA.

    I wish he could have been around earlier, he really could have added more to the dynamic on down time. Though Ratchet seems so much more relaxed than he used to be.

    That part surprised me. It surprised me that they basically told the cast of Prime to GTFO.

    I'm so glad that the whole council corruption angle that was hinted early on might finally be coming back.

    Hoping we get to see the rest of the cast in the future. Especially the Predacons.

    Ditto. Same with the Underbite redecos.

    I also love how we finally understand the deal with the Fixit clones, they all have the same voice and appearance outside of names. Toolbox is a unconventional name but still neat.

    Great finale,but when the Alchamore crashed the tsunami generated should have caused quite a bit of damage to Crown City.
