Apparently they do with the latest update or something, my brother tells me if you update to the latest 1.35 patch, you'll be able to use .mkv files. ;):)Quote:

Leave Fowler, him I can tolerate... for now
Thanks Hursty and kaiden. I learnt something new today :)
Well, it only took 9 hours, transferring at 153.23Kbps (Average) but I now have all 5 eps in glorious HD! :D
Thanks again Kaiden for the link. ;):)
so what did everyone think of episode 6? i like Bumblebee more after that ep(without giving away to much) and i like how it now has a proper intro looking forward to the next episode. skyquake was interesting.
Starscream was awesome and funny too lol. Did we just hear soundwave voice in this ep or was it just another playback?
i dont remember hearing him. starscream was good to. i am really liking this series
And the toy images from the Toyfair just make it even better. Really digging Starscream.Quote:

I've got to say that I am really enjoying this series and I can't wait for a HD file of this episode to show up. ;)
Skyquake looks to be an interesting, if not necessary, addition to the Decepticon ranks and it is clear that some interesting story arcs are beginning to take shape. :D
It is very easy to see why this show has been picked up for a Second season though, I hope there will be many more to follow too. :cool:
um i when i watched it, it was the 720p version:confused:Quote:

SPOILERS-
The new opening uses the sweeping orchestral Movie score, as opposed to a rehash of the G1 theme. I'm annoyed Skyquake died in his first appearance, that's my main gripe with the show, the second is trotting out the tired old "Damaged/Comatose Megatron plot" that we've seen a hundred (All right, like, five, but still) times before. I did enjoy the brief interaction between Ratchet and the human kids. That was amusing but Miko still has a ridiculous European accent, not a Japanese one, and that grates on me. .
I'm not as entertained by Prime as I was by Animated. I'm holding out hope something will happen to make me love it. Fingers crossed.
***SPOILERS***
I quite liked this ep. I loved Starscream's line of "I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, Emperor of Destruction!" -- nice. ;)
Well it's about bloody time since we saw an Anglophone Transformers cartoon whose theme song is something other than a rehash of the G1 theme! Haven't seen this since Beast Wars/Beast Machines (although I don't think Phat Planet was explicitly composed for BM). It's not the greatest theme song, but at least they're making an effort to be different.Quote:

Pretty funky seeing an Asian dude speaking English with a strong Russian accent. ;)Quote:

So from that perspective that can make such characters more interesting -- one difficult thing about writing a conventional Optimus Prime character is finding weaknesses in the character and exploiting it. That's something that the G1 cartoon did not do very well and the G1 Marvel Comics handled a lot better -- the G1 cartoon all too often portrayed Optimus Prime as a near-flawless Saviour archetype. And a flawless character is a boring character -- the hero is only as interesting as his (or her) weaknesses. Even Superman has his Kryptonite. ;)Quote:

And WHAT is up with agent Fowler constantly flying around in military aircraft with NO safety equipment on (other than a seatbelt?)?? Whether it's a helicopter or jet fighter, he just wears a business suit. No flight suit, no helmet... just the kind of clothes you'd wear to the office. Rriiiiiiggghht...
I did notice that this episode revealed Fowler's given name - William... perhaps a reference to G1's William Irving "Sparkplug" Witwicky? ;)
Oh yeah, his Voice Actor hit that one perfectly IMO - Felt very much like a true Starscream. ;)Quote:

(Though obviously the show owes alot to the Movies ;))
Oh he'll be back, and in greater numbers! :p:DQuote:

Meh, I don't mind the tweaked accent - though that case you describe Goki would've been really odd to hear the first time. :DQuote:

I reckon we've only scratched the surface with Prime: Prime and I'm personally hoping he grows a little bit of a mean streak like his Big Screen counterpart ;):D, I like me's some Robo-Dismemberment! :p:cool:

When they go to that first shot of him in the cockpit I was like: "So he's heading to work I guess? :confused:".
I think it is probably an oversight, but I hope we don't see a continuing trend with him 'just happening to be in the vicinity' all the time. :(
(I think that is probably my only gripe with this episode :cool:)
It's possible but... Writers Lie!, He's A Robot In Disguise! :DQuote:

What I meant was that I liked its reference to Japanese G1 where Megatron's function is Hakai-Taitei (破壊大帝), which means "Emperor of Destruction." :)Quote:

It's a heck of a way to beat rush hour. ;)Quote:

Did not particularly like episode 6. To be fair the bits with Starscream in them were very good but apart from that it was a bit gash - not much of any worth went on.
i liked the battle between optimus, bumblebee and skyquakeQuote:
