    This was another good episode, good twists, good dialog, but is Optimus Prime going to be a character in this show or does he just get cameos all the time?

    I want Prime!

    I hope he gets lots of the screen time in the next two eps or I'm going to start a petition!

    I demand a remolded Prowl with space barnacle action replacing his stop light mace of doom.

    maybe it landed somewhere else and has been trying to get to Megatron's head this whole time, as some part of the bodies irresistible drive to be whole and conquer...or something.

    Looks like I missed the first couple minutes of the episode as well. First thing I saw was Prowl getting buried by the plow. Obviously the theme of this ep was nature vs. technology, with two opposing viewpoint Autobots fighting a creature made up of both. Bumblebee was on a roll this episode, with the "fire hose", the mine-track luge, looking around the forest for an electrical outlet and plugging the media player into Prowl's hologram projector, and my personal fave:

    Prowl: "Surround-sound speakers and a portable media player are not necessities! Where did you store all of those things anyway?"

    Bumblebee: "I'd... rather not say."

    Anyway, looks like Megatron's gonna have enough stuff to pull himself together real soon (good thing, the season's almost over. :)  )

    That was the first thing I saw after the theme song.

    edit:
    wait, forgot about the miner getting eaten part.

    Is it just me, or does this show have a sick head-fetish?

    Blitzwing has three heads, Megatron's severed heads, Headmaster, BulkHEAD, and they kept pointing out how Barnacle-tron had no head.



    ARE there head fetishes? If so, I'd imagine the really kinky stuff to show up in a Japanese made show, that's typically where all the really weird porn comes from.

    I see it as a running gag. Fetish isn't the right word for it.

    And technically, Blitzwing has three faces, not heads.

    Don't forget in the YTV commercial, Getting a head in life with Sentinel Prime.

    Okay so Bumblebee,Sari and Prowl go camping and the meet a monster than is megatron's torso and affects Prowl and Bumblebee and Sari run for their lives. Is so funny,

    This episode reminds me "The Camping Episode from Spongebob except no Sea Bears.

    So i give this episode a 9/10.

    yeah, a sea bear would've pushed this episode far beyond 10/10.

    Bumblebee had some funny lines. But otherwise this episode was hard to watch. After being tolerable the past few weeks, Sari went back to being extremely annoying to me.

    Johnator's Quick Review

    Pros
    The last ten seconds about Megatron was cool
    Sari almost dies (kind of)

    Cons
    Bad art designs
    No Decepticons
    Monster a lot like the first monster they fought

    This episode was just kind of blah for me. It wasn't as bad as the last several but nothing special or one I would watch again. Sari should have been scalded by that hose. This monster was really generic and reminded me of the monster from the first episode. Sari is REALLY annoying in this one as well. I did think it was funny when Bumblebee thought the fire hose would shoot fire but otherwise the dialogue was just kind of there. The episodes without the Decepticons just can't pull it off for a good story. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode though since it is the return of Megatron.

    Overall Grade: C/C-

    Sari - "Did you have anything that ugly on Cybertron?"

    Bumblebee - "Yeah, but Bulkhead is back at the base."

    I actually found Sari at her least annoying in this episode, since, first and foremost, the problem wasn't her fault through some chain of events.

    I see it as Sumdac helping to reattach Megatron's head to his body at which point Megatron upgrades or reformats himself. Just a guess though.

    It was an alright episode. I would say too many details left out this time though.

    How is it sumdac could find megatrons body before the autobots? Oh hmm it was the monster but then if it still had a signal... Also if you have something that can destroy detroit do you just leave it sitting there?

    I do like the slight twist ending though. Never expected them to go finding megatrons old body to use for a new one. However it is missing a few parts so how will they fix it? Next weeks episode should be fun to watch.
