Transformers Animated Se3Ep12 "Endgame Part One" discussion

[Gutsman Heavy]

If anyone has seen this episode from Timothy Orrent's house can you pm me the address?

Starscream rolling to get around was hilarious. Wingblade Prime looks nice, especially the forearm fins on him. It was a very empty episode though with tonnes of filler.

I thought they looked a bit like Cybertron Prime's wings.

Looks more like Victory Sabre's wings to me.

Starscream rolling to get around was hilarious.

Yes!! I literally laughed out loud when I saw that! The use of protoforms to create new bodies was interesting to see. Now here's a question - are protoforms in Animated lifeless or are they imbued with Sparks but awaiting activation (i.e.: "unborn")? It seems that the protoforms on Earth's moon are lifeless - perhaps their sparks perished in the crash... but what about the protoform in Master Yoketron's Dojo or the chibi-protoform which became Sari? Hrmmmm...

Actually the wings remind me of Powermaster Prime - japanese - Ginrai. With the forearm fins and all. Neat, This will be a very interesting end of series story. Sigh I still wish its not the end, end.

[GoktimusPrime]

The wingtip thrusters are similar to God Ginrai's - but overall the wings look more similar to Victory Sabre's to me. I agree with you about the forearm wings though (reference image).

The Omega Lugnut's are GLORIOUS

Interesting...
While it may be wishful thinking - and I'll be the first to admit Animated has a way of surprising me plot-wise - with the Sentinel-controlled Cybertron, pretty minimal damage to Starscream (comparatively), no Dinobots/Blackarachnia stuck somewhere in the past(?) and knowing we have an Arcee toy for Hasbro to sell (or cancel) to me this just isn't feeling like the first half of the end of a series, let alone such an epic series. Both previous 2-part season finales have been jam-packed just to get everything in, this one seems to be leaving a lot of plot points to tie up. I hope that's a good sign and not just indicative of a slightly disappointing end to what's been an otherwise fantastic season and/or series.

Megatron rocked even more than usual, but after all his previous awesomeness Shockwave was kind of a let-down character-wise this time IMO (still want him though). Arcee in teacher-mode was great, Femscream's brief appearance was nice as were the flashbacks.
