Guys, guys - We've only had Prime's word that he is Dead, how well informed is he when he still believes Megatron to be dead? :confused:
Wait and see I reckon, I don't think we've seen the last of that big bugger. ;):cool:

I sure hope you're right.Quote:

I doubt that is the end of Skyquake, but I really hope that the federal agent isn't the reason all the new cons get their alt mode. Seeing as the writers (possibly for the animators sake) see to have most of the story happening in the middle of nowhere, it will be hard for them to come up with new angles for the new cons to get alt modes.
Now that there are two confirmed seasons, hopefully we can get some nice long story arcs going (in the background, not suggesting this should be a series where if you miss an episode, you miss out!)
Normally I wouldn't think twice about Skyquake coming back to terrorize the Autobots once again, but I'm worried by the recent interview with the TFP writers who said "when a character is dead, they are dead and we mean dead as in cut into little pieces dead". Cliffjumper was included solely to demonstrate this. Leading up to the show all signs pointed to him being a major character for the Autobots: he featured heavily in the comics and had a very high profile VA, yet none of that stopped him from being killed in the opening 10 minutes of the 1st episode.Quote:

That's a fair point and it would certainly seem that when a character is dead, they're dead and they mean DEAD.;)Quote:

Yeah to me it seems like Skyquake was simply deactivated as opposed to killed like Cliff, big difference between the two. And I agree I could really see Skyquake coming back when Megatron does, I doubt Megs would leave his mightiest and most loyal warrior to rust in the dirt.Quote:

I wonder if the animators can afford to kill off characters within an episode or two all the time, and not have them recurring in some way. They have to produce 3 animation models for each character, so just having a character show up for one episode of a show that can only afford a limited cast, sounds a little unlikely. (for those hoping Skyquake returns later)
Yeah they were talking about this over at TFW, if the show is on such a tight budget as we are led to believe (which the producers have constantly been saying) you would think it would be pretty counter productive to spend the $$$ on these models and use them only once and throw them away.Quote:

As for Skyquake, he's presumed KIA. We see Cliffjumper actually dying, but not Skyquake. He crashed and burned, but was his Spark actually extinguished? Who knows. After all, Megatron was presumed killed when that Space Bridge blew up, yet he survived (barely). So as far as I'm concerned, Skyquake was defeated, but whether he was actually slain or not is debatable.
is skyquake actually dead.. i have to re watch it but didnt prime simply say bury him... after starscream un burried him... could simply mean stick him back in his stasis pod and not here from him again..
if he is infact dead.. what a waste of time he looked awesome.. and i want a toy.
