This was a great episode; jazz is awesome (hilarious the way he reacted to sari), sentinal continues to be a jerk (nice to see grimlock, prime and magnus put him in his place), and Magnus, while cool in a way, has a lot to learn about organic life. The only part I didn't like was Sari running the company. Great cliffhanger; this show has actually made me care about a human in a tf show; I wasn't sure if that could be done. Prowl and Jazz were great w/ all the ninja stuff. "Ah, the classic Melalikato 5 servos of doom attack." --a Kill Bill reference!! I think this Ultra Magnus can deal w/ that now. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) So..blackarachnia is spider(wo)man, sentinal is captain america, and Magnus is thor.. Interesting to see that the autobots aren't considered heroes by the humans anymore; just shows how fickle people can be. This was possibly the best ep of the series, and there've been some good ones.

Jazz is now my favorite character in the show. lol
Anyways voice acting for Jazz and Magnus is spot on. Did anyone notice the G1 fusion cannon sound effect when Megs blasted the drone? finally starting to get the Sari twist Tara Strong was talking about a while back. I see sentinel blundering his way through the next full season and Optimus gaining even more respect from Magnus. Just wish Magnus had a better gimic then Thors hammer.

Jazz was done by Phil Lamarr who used to be on MAD TV and did the voice of Jon Stewert on JLU.He does a voice on Spiderman now on the WB as a football player
I was wondering why Magnus has a hammer the is a cross between Thors and Steels

Awesome episode. This series definitely rises to the top ranks with G1 and Beast Wars.
Sentinel is definitely going to be the "jerk" character. I am fully expecting a reunion meeting with all three of Sentinel, Optimus, and Blackarachnia.
Jazz is just plain awesome. I see him becoming the balance to Sentinel's attitude's towards Optimus and Earth when the Elite Guard has discussions.
Magnus - well, we'll see. Lots of potential, but I think they overplayed the aloof supreme commander bit. At least at the end he called down Sentinel, showing that he is somewhat aware of Sentinel's glitches.

Ep #21 hasn't been shown in the US yet, so..if you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading now!
Is that blue car supposed to be blurr? It seems to be a tf bc it was being controlled w/ that allspark-infused remote.
Great stunticon homage; a black truck and some racecars; nice touch!
Overall, I thought this ep was average compared to the rest of the series, but the mysterious car made it interesting, and sari and blitzwing had some funny lines; "Never give up, never surrender..nevermind!"
Fanzone: "How come your interior is so much cleaner than mine?" Sari: "Hmm..maybe because it's not on fire?" lol!

I never thought about the blue car being Blurr only that it resembled the Mach 5
Where did you see the truck with the cars being the stunticons?
I guess I will have to watch it again

I guess I will have to watch it again The cars 'bee was racing against (they didn't look like the stunticons per se, but there were five of them, plus the truck) and the black truck that Master Disaster had. I thought the blue car was blurr bc blurr will be in this series, plus what I mentioned in my previous post about it being controlled by that remote (it seems only cybertronians are affected by it).

Blurr could be an Elite Guard left to watch the autobots on either Manguses or best bet Sentinals orders

********Spoilers from Ep. 24**************
It was awesome that swindle mentioned the Vok! I was a bit surprised by that.
I really like the human villains, and Slo Mo may be my new favorite. Her outfit (did you notice her pupils?) and accent/dialogue were great. Archer is great too.
I like everything about swindle except for his face; it looks like something from the lilformers comic strip, which isn't necassarily a bad thing, but it doesn't fit too well w/ the other tf's.
Bumblebee has been really annoying lately.
What Sari made the Sumdac bot do, and then her reaction, were priceless.
Why didn't the autobots take swindle into custody? I don't think it made sense to leave him to the police.
More great lines in this ep, especially this one: "Scruples? You'd sell your own motherboard to the highest bidder." - Megatron

"Three's a Crowd" was definitely one of the weaker eps of the series; I've never been much of a fan of the constructicons, but dirt boss is a little better. Best part was we now know that lugnut and blitzwing are still online.
"Where is Thy Sting", was better, especially the ending w/ ultra magnus nearly dead. Jetfire/jetstorm looked good, but it was kinda hard to understand them at times, and jazz was cool, as usual.
I really like wasp; going crazy from years of imprisonment, knowing he was innocent? I thing there's some potential there, but I don't like how the other autobots acted like he was such a bad guy in the first place; wasp got a raw deal. And, this is the second ep in a row w/ no sari..

Where did you see Blitzwing. All I saw was a SS clone.

Where did you see Blitzwing. All I saw was a SS clone. I watched the ending again, and you're right, blitzy wasn't there; I think I wanted to see him flying w/ lugnut so much that I thought "ramjet" was blitzwing for a second.

Tigatron Stadium; that's a nice lil nod, to the city and bw. Warpath and Yokitron (Takei!) were great as well, it's a real shame we probably won't get toys of them. Nice to get some background on prowl, too. Seems like a Optimus/Sentinel fight is in the works as well. This ep was really good!

Warpath was a really nice touch - "Bam! Pow!" ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Very nice addition to the Prowl-Lockdown story. In my mind that's still one of the best character relationships they have going. I may have to pick up the Lockdown repaint (if I can find it) now to get that chainsaw attachment. I'm not sure the US has seen "5 Servos" yet - the file I downloaded seemed to be from a Canadian broadcast.

I found it on youtube
You guys should stop downloading when its sitting on youtube

Youtube is the worst possible way to watch it. It is always worth downloading - or even waiting for a download to become available - than it is to watch it on youtube. Flash-based quality just doesn't pull it off.

I download the eps (via bittorrent): A) because I'm on rabbit ears (cable/satellite is out of the budget right now); and B) I like to be able to rewatch eps on my own schedule without worrying about if its been pulled for copyright and other infringements.
Plus I know I'll be buying the DVD set when it comes out, so downloading is just the filler medium.

"Predacons Rising"
Sweet episode! This was a great homage to Beast Wars. The only thing that was missing was Waspinator getting blasted by a chain gun ....
I especially loved the last scene with Blackarachnia waking up with a rhino, rat, gorilla, and cheetah staring her in the face.
My only issue was the presentation that Jetstorm and Jetfire could take on the Dinobots without taking any serious damage. I can believe they would win (air superiority, teamwork, and somewhat more intelligence), just not undamaged.
