Two different story arcs explored... rather weakly I thought.

All I know is if Starscream didn't steal a T-Cog from the clone that tried to kill him at the end of the episode, I will be pissed... also annoyed that a perfectly good opportunity to bring Skywarp and Thundercracker into the series was not exploited (though I knew it was not gonna happen since that would seperate Prime even more from videogame continuity than it already is) It will be interesting to see the fallout from this episode though, such as Megatron now having an army of Insecticon warriors at his disposal, the disabling of the Decepticon ship, whether Starscream was able to salvage a T-Cog from the clone, why all these Insecticons seem to be significantly weaker than the one that battled Megatron (seriously, one beat almost beat Megatron to death, and then in the episode Armada one was taken out by a tree :-\ )

As for the weaker insections, might it be an issue of age? These did look freshly 'hatched'.


What mostly made the episode the most enjoyable for me was all the Starscream bits, really showed why all the TFs don't have clones running around.

Fittingly, I also loved how the episode ended,

with the fade to black broken by "SCRAP! THAT HURT!"

I was also expecting starscream to steal a T-Cog from one of his clones but he never did in this episode. quite sad. maybe the writers are showing how un-bright starscream really is in this TFP cartoon series.

Newer characters are always super powerful in this first episode,then they get weaker as the episodes progress. this has been a TF trade mark dating back to 1984.

I just find it odd/cool,that bulkhead caused the most damage in this episode by damaging the inner ship & causing it to chrash land on the earth.

Just FYI, don't need spoiler tags in episode discussion threads after the episode officially airs

I knew. When I was posted, it was in General discussion, instead of the Prime sub-forum. Figured I'd still do it to keep folks who stumble over it spoiler free.

Yeah, that was my bad. Didn't dig deep enough in
