Just seen Sari,No One's Home recently.The problem with reviewing this one is my personal reaction to it,seeing is that I can no longer find the Constructicons necessary anymore and are just a waste of space,even if they do get there memories back.

What bothered me about this Episode,being the last filler of the Season is that,why do they put this 'Home Alone' tribute and not give us an advancment in the plot?It did at the very end where Blitzwing bribes the Constructicons with fine oil,but,I expected more from this.I wanted Megatron in action,I wanted Sumdac to find his way to tell the Autobots that is is kidnapped.By the way,when I remembered the message he sent in 'Autoboot Camp' he was able to send the message no problem...but if he is able to send a conversation between Megatron and Shockwave,then why can't he send a brief message on telling the Autobots where they are and that he is kidnapped.But,then again,I have never seen the Autobots search for Sumdac except early in the Season...and that they no longer hunt for Allspark shards now.

Not much to say on character development besides Sari,proving once again that she can take care of herself.We seen this before in that 'Space Barnicles' Episode,since she can take down alien scum without the help of BumbleBee or Prowl,or the rest of the Autobots.What I noticed again was the connection between Prowl and Sari,having some sort of mentor-pupil relationship and is helping her on how to defend on Decepticons.So,does that mean that he aknowledges Sari in taking care of herself>He was possessed by Space Barnicles so I guess he knows that she can become a great fighter,with the right training of course.

A new addition in Constructicon weaponary,since both Scrapper and MixMaster can shoot acid by opening a part of themselves.MixMaster with his stomach and Scrapper with his arm.

Weak comedy relief in this one.When this Episode was supposedly a 'Home Alone' tribute,I expect it to be as funny as 'Home Alone'.But we are with Constructicons who are not as smart and funny as the burglars in the two films.

Very weak Episode that can not even get reviewed properly.I say ditch the Constructicons and focus on something better....like the Dinobots,only this time...don't add the love traingle bit.

Ah you're no fun at all. Persoanaly I liked that episode. Especially the part where Sari's talking to Bee and you see Bulkhead and Prowl fighting with Blitzwing in the background. I never knew Prowl was so tiny! XD

I think I found out what the female Starscream clones name is. Wikipedia says her name is "Laserwave" So now you know. and unlike the guys (who incidently are voiced be the same person) she's voice by Tara Strong.

Review for YTV's 'A Bridge Too Close: Part I'-First Half

I will post this undevided like the last Season Finale.

It all starts with Megatron 'knighting' MixMaster and Scrapper as full-fledged Decepticons after completing the Space Bridge project.

I find it really interesting that Megatron makes an oath and the Constructicons must repeat it.The God-like statements of the oath,such as 'unquestioning','devotion' and so on goes back to Animated Megatron's character as more of a homage to Beast Machines Megatron.It has been proven in a physical sense in Season I,but now the mental sense is proven through this oath,however,the plans he is creating so far is a reflection of G1 Megatron...and his actual appearance.

The Constructicons agree to the oath and are now Decepticons.

How the Constructicons are now 'Cons in general is very painful yet symbolic,where every Decepticon will now be exposed to pain in more ways than one: Physical pain the most common.In a way,how the 'Cons are initiated is quite barbaric in a sense,as the symbol is burned in their metal plating rather than platered on as Wreck-Gar did in his only-focused Episode.

It is no surprise that the Constructicons joined the Decepticons for oil.

Meanwhile,Megatron completes the Space Bridge by putting an Allspark fragment in one of the chambers.Sumdac starts up the Bridge but fails.Sumdac tries to figure what is wrong with the Bridge,but Megatron knows that Sumdac can not construct a Spage Bridge perfectly.He decides to find the Cybertonian who can make his Space Bridge a reality.

On the Moon,Starscream appears with his new batch of Clones.

We now know how Starscream was able to keep their Clones sentient,by taking a few fragments of his own Allspark Shard and create life,by placing it in their Spark Chambers.Each Clone represents the personality of G1 Starscream rather than Animated Screamer.These Clones as well do resemble other Seekers.

Purple Starscream:Coward Clone(Skywarp)
Blue Starscream:Egomaniac Clone(Thundercrakcer)
Orange Starscream:Suck-Up Clone(Sunstorm)
White Starscream:Liar Clone(Jetfire)
Green/Purple Starscream:Female Clone(Laserwave)

EDIT:Than you Lady-Warrior for the Laserwave name.

The interaction of Screamer and his Clones are shown in Part I.Animated particualrly likes Suck-Up while he argues with Liar.As for his interaction with Female it seems Screamer gains some sort of crush on her,sometimes caught filrting with her.

As for the Female Starscream herself,she was intelligent enough to figure out that each Clone represents G1 Stascream's personality.As for her it could mean that Starscream has a feminine side,which isn't wrong since all human men have some feminine side(And vise versa for human women),however,many YouTube Commenters said that Female represents Starscream sexiness...In my opinion,I think she represents Stascream's hidden intelligence and Narcissism,becuase Screamer is the type of guy who can fall in love with himself and in a way he does,as long as his other half was female.

Moving on,Shockwave communes with Megatron,claiming that the Decepticons are outnumbering the Autobots in the rim of the Galaxy.Shockwave finally finds the Cybertronian who can help complete the Space Bridge.Megatron wanted the best one,and Shockwave tells him that the best one is none other than Bulkhead.

For Bulkhead himself he is seen painting a canvass and Sari is the model for it.Sari sees the painting,resembling a Picasso.He explains Picasso's work to BumbleBee and BB insults Bulkhead's work.

On the other side,Blurr appears and picks up the message between Shockwave and Megatron,knowing that Bulkhead is in trouble and heads for the base.For Bulkhead himself,the Autobots observe his painting and suggests to add more stuff to it.The painting is finished and is ruined,making a scary image of Sari.Bulkhead gives up on improving it and goes outside for some inspiration.Megatron commands Blitzwing and Lugnut to pick up something from Powell,while Megatron himself will pursue Bulkhead,but he dares not leave Sumdac alone,so he takes Issac with him.

The interaction between Bulkhead and Sari was sweet in this one,as Sari tells Bulkhead that artists are to express their feelings,and not be told by their critics.BumbleBee finally gets some development early,as he acknowldges his mistake on Bulkhead's painting,though he insulted him by accident.

When looking at this scene alone,I noticed that all of these three characters are now updated and not backward.BumbleBee learns his lessons quickly and Bulkhead is an artist again,and finds his own grace.Sari matured by being the voice of reason again and does not create mischief.My question is that why did it take them so long to finally become wht they are right now.It could have taken at least one Episode instead of three or four each.

Megatron finds the three and Sari sees her father,claiming that he was kidnapped by Megatron all this time.

Sari said that her father is 'still' alive,so it was assumed that Sari thought her father died when Megatron fell down form the Ark last Season.That does make sense,but she assumed that he was missing first,then dead when she gave up.I think she thought he was missing first because Megatron grabbed him when he fell...let's face the facts:Megatron grabbed Sumdac and he was proven to be alive by the Autobots.This could mean that Prime never told Sari about Megatron being alive...if he was,then Sari could have known that her father lived.He's a scientist and reverse-engineered through Megatron,so I'm guessing that they could have thoguht that Megatron wanted to use Sumdac rather than killing him for revenge.Then again,Prime and Sari do not know Megatron well,nor do they know about Megatron's interaction between Sumdac and how Sumdac treated him.They could have thoguht Megatron was tortured or something while Sumdac was reverse-engineering.But we can never know what went on with the character's heads,paticularly Prime and Sari's during the Season.

BumbleBee still experiences his feelings towards Sumdac,feeling betrayed that he revived Megatron and used him,so he automatically thinks that Sumdac will end up working with Megatron.It does bring more theories to my previous paragraph,that BumbleBee might think that Sumdac wasn't dead and betrayed his daughter,and if he did think that,he will never tell Sari about it,since she was already upset that she is non-existant.

Fight scene commences and Blurr comes to save them.BumbleBee misinterprets Blurr's rescue as an attack and heads for him,leaving Bulkhead and Sari alone with Megatron.

I know that fighting Blurr alone was based on instinct,but BumbleBee should learn by now that one Autobot can't defeat Megatron,however,he might not have seen this in the last Season,as he was fighting alone with Starscream with some problems.Still,the importance of Sari's safety is his one priority,and I asssume taking out Blurr alone was part of the reason.Still,think about it BB:Bulkhead vs.Megatron....perhaps he could have taken Sari to a safe place.

BumbleBee fights with Blurr and wins,only to finally see Bulkhead being carried off by Megatron.Instead of chasing after Bulkhead,BB goes off to finish Blurr but Blurr finally Transfroms.

End of First Half Review

Review for YTV's 'A Bridge Too Close: Part I'-Last Half

Blurr's robot mode is rather interesting in terms in Animation.He is different from his G1 Model,but the colour scheme remains the same.He does not look like a remold of BumbleBee(Thank God)but he does have similarities to him,such as wheels for feet.As for the voice,it was used by the same Voice Actor in the G1 '86 Film and he is able to speak fast without the use of a robotic voice,however I do miss saying Decepticons over and over again.

To the story:Blurr explains that he is a agent for The Elite Guard and was ordered to watch the movements of the Autobots and search for Megatron himself...and yes,he was going to alert them about their existance for about a decacycle and finally the 'Cons captured Bulkhead to complete the Space Bridge.Megatron finally speaks to Bulkhead,acknowleding that he is a genius in Space Bridge technology and offers him to complete it.Bulkhead refuses but Megatron shows him the Headmaster program...

First off,I am trying to remember how he knew that.My guess is that the Decepticons were under scouting or Reconnaissance missions in the meantime:Remember,they are still undetected.

Megatron threatens Bulkhead by using the Headmaster Unit with Bulkhead's body to destroy the Autobots,and Sumdac will be his first target.Bulkhead also sees the Constructicons again and finds out that they betrayed him.Bulkhead finally agrees to Megatron's offer and will complete the Space Bridge.

Meanwhile Prime speaks to Intelligence Officer Blurr and he explains what he has been doing since arriving at Earth.He tells Prime that he found Megatron's hideout and called The Elite Guard,but the reinforcments are delayed due to the Decepticon uprising and now explains Sumdac and the Space Bridge,his plan to rule Cybertron from behind,the failure of the Bridge,and Bulkhead's kidnapping.The crew were skeptical on Bulkhead being a genius but finally agrees to what Blurr said.Prime orders Ratchet to go to the Ark with Sari and the Allspark shards.As for himself,Blurr,and the rest of the crew,they head for Megatron,but not before Prime promises Sari to bring her father back alive.In the other side of the mountain,Bulkhead and Sumdac go into an argument on the Space Bridge:Bulkhead is lying on the real structure of the Bridge and Sumdac finally gets what Bulkhead is doing.

Bulkhead's character finally comes into play,as he makes sure that he will be the leader of the sabotage and finally telling Sumdac off on why no one believes that he is capable of anything.The growth on his one monolouge is superb and I hope that the Autobots and Sumdac will come to realize on not judging Bulkhead as a 'inexperienced' solider.I know for sure that Sari sees him more than that.Strength...that's all I can say for him.

As for the Clones they prepare for the attack on Megatron,and Egomaniac was the first to fly off,followed by Liar,Suck-Up,and Coward.As for Starscream and Female,they continue to grow their own chemistry and Stascream knows that he is a bigger pain in the *** than he originally thought.

The Key is used again as a restarter for the Ark,but it's limits cannot regain the Ark into Ratchet's original intention.He aplogizes to the Ark while Sari starts thinking that he is going a little insane.Ratchet decides to use the Allspark fragments and inserted it into the Ark's Spark Chamber.

My first thought was that the Ark being alive was a very creative idea.My second thought was the Allspark fragments.Over the whole Season,the Autobots collected four Shards,which means that more Shard Collecting will continue in the next Season,and that the Allspark fragments are harder to detect than previously thought.My theory is that if Sumdac could get a hold of them,an Allspark detector(A stronger one)can be made.I'm asking for a little more focus on the Shards,but they made it very little this Season.

The rest of the Autobots and Blurr found Megatron's hideout and enter without any detection of the 'Cons,but Blitzwing and Lugnut arrive and explain that Sumdac 'cloaked' them.A fight scene happens.

What I found interesting was Fire Blitzwing's battle strategy.Ice Blitzwing blocked BumbleBee's attack,but due to Fire Blitzwing,he aims his attack on Prime but ends up melting BumbleBee's blocked stingers.It can either mean that Fire Blitzwing is a stupid character or has poor battle tactics;always thinking about destroying his enemies before having any logic to his surroundings.

Blurr finally fights and his main weapon is his speed,as he was able to circle around the 'Cons and Stasis Cuffed them.

BumbleBee's statement on saying that he is now second really is an improvemnt on his character.It took him around the end of the Episode to learn his lesson this time.I really find this irritable,seeing that it took BumbleBee three focused Episodes to say that speed isn't everything.I hope the writers would mean as what BB said and finally mature him and not make the same stupid mistake over and over in the next Season.

The Space Bridge is finally activated,so the plan of sabotaging it did not work.As for Megatron,he cires out victory but was interrupted by the arrival of the Autobots.MixMaster traps Prime and Prowl with his cement and Scrapper grabs BumbleBee and Blurr with his arms.Prime finds out that the Constructicons chose a side,but he too is interrupted by Starscream and his Clones.

Not a bad cliffhanger in Part One,though it can't be pared with Coming Of The Fuzours Part One in Beast Wars.

Review on YTV's 'A Bridge Too Close: Part II'-First Half


When watching this for the first time I thought about the words I can use to describe the very first fight scene.To me,it is better to watch it rather than hear me talk about it.There was good use of quick thinking,ineraction,suspense,and good use of weaponary,including some unsuspected double team(Prime and Megatron).So here is my description of the fight scene in a nutshell:

Starscream and the Clones go for the attack on Megatron

Blurr explains that the Allspark fragment Starscream has contians a great concentration of energy to make his Clones Online with smaller fragments.

Megatron fights the Clones alone

Sumdac and Bullkhead argue once again on the failure of the sabotage,but Bulkhead carries Sumdac and Transforms,carrying him off to safety from the fight.

Megatron orders the Constructicons:Scrapper must help Megatron while MixMaster goes to retrieve Lugnut and Blitzwing.

Blurr and BulmbleBee escape from Scrapper's clutches.

The Constructicons doubt on Megatron's orders,not knowing they had to fight.One of the Clones shoots the oil can MixMaster was drinking and MixMaster goes off to fight.

Prowl and Prime are free from the cement trap.Prime orders BumbleBee and Prowl to fight the Clones in order to not let any Decepticon(Including Megatron)to get into the Space Bridge.

MixMaster uses his cement weapon to trap Egomaniac Clone,but before he falls,he continues to call out MixMaster's weaknesses and bad lines.

Liar tries to battle MixMaster but was Stasis Cuffed by Prowl,but before going into Stasis Lock,he lies about escaping.He is immediately freed by Suck-Up and Liar goes off to fight again,saying that he freed himself,while Suck-Up prises Prowl's abilities.

Blurr and BumbleBee battles with Coward Clone and is Stasis Cuffed.As Coward cries for mercy,Egomaniac bumps into him,trapping Coward and Blurr into his cement bonds and eventually getting into the Space Bridge.BumbleBee speaks to Bulkhead on stopping the Space Bridge and getting Blurr back,but Bulkhead explains that Blurr could be anywhere,since the coordinates for Cybertron is not yet established.

Bulkhead is then stopped by Female Starscream,but BumleBee passes Bulkhead the Stasis Cuffs.Bulkhead and Female battle but Female gets the upper hand and Stsis Cuffs Bulkhead.

As for Megatron,he and Stascream finally dukes it out:Sword against arm cannons.Female and Liar come up from behind but Prime stops them in the nick of time,saving Megatron.Megatron was surprised for his help but Prime states that he did not defeat the Clones for his sake.Prime and Megatron double team agaisnt Starscream,Liar,and Female.

To the story now,Ratchet and Sari are still in the Ark.The Allspark fragments are finally loaded in the ship's Spark Chamber and Sari uses her Key to make the Ark go Online.Ratchet commuincates with the Ark but Sari continues saying that the Ark can not be alive.The Ark fianlly speaks,calling out to Ratchet and Sari is startled by it's voice.Ratchet speaks to the Ark again,saying that the Great Wars are over;that the Autobots won,mainly by his help.Ratchet explains to Sari that the voice in the Ark was dead for over two million years and sacrificed himself to let the Autobots win the Wars.The Ark doubts on being useful again,but Ratchet convinces him that he and Sari will repair him back into his original form.

This was a very creative introduction to Omega Supreme.The sound of his voice makes him a grand character;rich with wonderful backstory.The music composed for his first scene was very believable,giving us an auditory idea that his sacrifice was vital and worthy of doing to win the Wars.Surprisingly I had faith that this character will be well thought out,but how he is going to be disposed of is now a mystery.

Meanwhile,Megatron and Prime continue to fight the Clones.The scene where the two of them are close-up was superb in terms of animation.They were able to move quickly on the defensive,making this a little more realisitic to the feeling of the battle.

The argument between Female and Starscream was a great parody on how married couples fight.

Liar closes in on Megatron and aims for him.Megatron quickly reacts and uses Prime as a shield.

As for Sumdac,he tries as best as he can to free Bulkhead from the Stasis Cuffs.

For Prowl and BumbleBee,they fight with MixMaster.BB comes from behind but fails to attack him,as MixMaster saw BB and uses his cement to stick BB to a wall of the hideout.MixMaster continues with Prowl but Megatron commands him to get Starscream.Sumdac overhears Megatron's command and gets and idea,leaaving Bulkhead behind.

Megatron continues battling the Clones and Starscream and leaves Prime.Prowl reaches to Prime but is Stasis Cuffed by Suck-Up,wanting to use that move since Prowl perfectly displayed it earlier in the Episode.

Female shoots Megatron's hand and loses his sword.Suck-Up and Liar grabs him and he is unable to move his arms.Starscream picks up Megatron's sword and prepares for the final attack.In a twist,the Headmaster Unit aims for Starscream and beheads him.The person operating the Headmaster Unit is none other than Sumdac...

'Total Ownage,Noob!'-Best line in this Episode.

BumbleBee starts yelling out that Sumdac is a traitor by saving Megatron.Sumdac tells off BumbleBee by wanting to save Megatron so he can kick his 'skidplate'.Megatron throws the Clones to Sumdac,calling his trap a bluff.Megatron beheads the Starscream body by his cannon.The body lands on Starscream's head.Starscream commands his Clones to destroy Megatron,but they betrayed him and goes to Megatron,Suck-Up being the first to join.

Liar's last words with Starscream were great,including the kick(lol)

In the Ark,Sari uses her Key again to repair Omega Supreme's Datatracks(Memorybanks they call it,but I'm using the Beast Wars term for it)Ratchet explains that his memories won't be completely restored,but repaired enough to be useful.Omega Supreme is fully Online but he couldn't see,but Ratchet instructs him that he has to pull himslef off the cliff the Ark is trapped in.Sari uses her Key one more time to help Omega go free from the cliff.The two were sucessful and Omega sees Earth for the first time,wanting to know where Cybertron is.

The Key has finally been used frequently and has made a new function which is to restore memories.

Meanwhile,Prime wakes up and realizes he is Stasis Cuffed and sees Prowl and Bulkhead.He looks up and sees Megatron and the Clones.Scrapper comes back with Lugnut and Blitzwing.As for Prowl,he meditates on trying to get out,but BumbleBee complains to stop with his humming.Prowl loses concentration and explains to BumbleBee what he is doing,which is to use mind(Processor)over matter to break free.Bulkhead is fascinated by this,but Prowl explains that it is only theory,and admits that he did complete his ninja training.

This is close as we can get to knowing Prowl's past.

Review for YTV's 'A Bridge Too Close: Part II'-Last Half

Megatron explains his plan which is to enter his group into Cybertron and take over the entire Space Bridge Network.

A theory of mine has been brought up after this speech.Space Bridges has been a vital part since Episode I,and I wonder why they use Space Bridges for,in fact,is there a Space Bridge in Cybertron?Well there could be since Megatron is confident about it and mentioned it a few times,but he plans to control the Bridges,which means that the Bridges used in this Series is for exploration,trade,and possibily transportation,but there nothing known about it specifically.In the First Episode,the Autobots were constructing a Space Bridge to a void asteroid belt.The question is,why here?If it is for transportation,there could be live planets nearby for exploration,so,there could be some colnies in nearby planets,the same can be used for trade.Either way,the thing we know is that the Space Bridge is not used for war,in fact,the Bridge could have been used for the Great Wars but that is not known,and the Elite Guard is sure that the Bridge can not be used for invasion or escape(ie.Autoboot Camp)


Back to the Episode,Starscream is also stuck onto a wall with BumbleBee(Well,only his head)and complains that Megatron's plan is flawed,but MixMaser shuts him up by placing cement on his mouth.Prime asks how Bulkhead got to be such an expert on Space Bridges and Bulkhead explains that he had a lot of time to study when he was an Energon Farmer.

Now all of us know that Bulkhead's actual past is boring and Autoboot Camp was the most exictement that was in Bulkhead's life before the Series began.

BumbleBee goes on again on how Bulkhead was an idiot to help Megatron.Bulkhead tells BumbleBee that the Space Bridge is useless if Megatron doesn't have anyone in Cybertron waiting for him,but BumbleBee tells Bulkhead that Waspinator may be in Cybertron.Shockwave answers to BumbleBee's misinterpretation,revealling himself as Longarm.BumbleBee and Bulkhead now regret that they sent an innocent Autobot to prison.

Now that Bullkhead and BumbleBee know that Waspinator was innocent,the next time he comes,they will try to explain and aplogize for the life-long mistake.I feel more guilt in the next Season.

The Decepticons cheer for their preparations,except for the Constructicons,who are now confused on what is going on recently.Megatron grabs Prime and calims that he will use him to test the Space Bridge and Shockwave will wait to see if Prime comes to Cybertron.

I see too much similarity to a certain G1 Episode.

When Megatron is about to throw Prime into the Bridge,the Ark arrives and attacks on the hideout.Ratchet and Sari intructs the Ark to not attack the Autobots and save Sumdac,but wonders what she means by 'dad'.Megatron instucts the Constructicons on proteting the Space Bridge,as for the rest;they must defeat the Ark.A fight scne happens between the Clones,Lugnut,and Blitzwing vs.The Ark.The Ark begins to fall,but Ratchet has faith in Omega and commands him to Transform into his Defense Mode.Omega doubts it,and Ratchet slams a button,resulting to Omega's Defense Mode.Ratchet demands Sari to use the Key again while helps Omega Transform.

Omega Supreme's Defense Mode is a very large Transformer.He contains the colour scheme the Ark has but his own clours are grey.He has the same flace plating as his G1 counterpart and his body structure is similar to G1,but he lacks all the details the original Omega Supreme had when he was first introduced.His arms contain the important parts of the Ark,such as the thrusters, and the bow of the ship,while his shoulders is equipped with the Ark's wings.As for his feet,it contains the glass or bridge parts of the Ark.The tip of his helmet is the Ark's cannon.

The Transformation sequence for Omega Supreme was quick but slow enough to know where which part of the Ark is being placed at,all in a time of two seconds.

I still enjoy the themes the composer keeps giving for Omega Supreme.

Lugnut looks at Omega Supreme and gloats on Megatron's greatness;far more bigger than Omega Supreme.Female Starscream overhears this and commands everyone to aim for Omega's legs.Omega falls and claims that he is too weak to get up.Ratchet quickly uses his own arms to help him,by using arm-fitting controls(I can't explain what it is called exactly,but think back to the type of control Ravage used in Beast Wars:The Agenda,to make his ship invisible)Sari uses her Key again and Omega gets up.Ratchet uses his own powers and Omega is ready to fight.

The weapons Omega Supreme used was his shoulders,his waist,his chest,his legs,and his left arm.The arm shoots a wide laser,while the legs shoot missiles.His chest shoots thinner lasers,and his shoulder provide thicker lasers.

Suck-Up Clone goes to Omega Supreme and praises his admiring strength,and Omega Supreme punches him to the ground.Liar tells a lie to distract Omega but is kicked instead.Blitzwing insults him,saying that it will take a GPS to find his exhast port(lmao)and is immediately headbutted by Omega.

Another weapon for Omega,which is to turn his head 180 degrees.His cannon is now his face and can emit a heavy blaster.He used that to dismember Lugnut.

As for Female Clone,she fights Omega alone.

Back in the hideout,Megatron prepares to throw Prime to the Space bridge.Prowl on the other hand meditates again.BumbleBee complains again,but Prowl does not lose concentration,and is free from the Cuffs.

Prowl's meditation theory is now law.

Megatron throws Prime to the Bridge,but Prowl uses his ninja-star to break Prime's Cuffs.Prime uses his grappler quickly and escapes the Bridge(By using Megatron as his pulley)The portal of the Bridge vanishes and Megatron looks at Sumdac.Sumdac doesn't know what happened and Bulkhead tries to explain what happened,before BumbleBee interrupted him for his safety.

Sometimes I wish BumbleBee will shut it...how come MixMaster didn't shut him up is beyond me...besides making a slight plot advancement for Season III.

Megatron figures out that one Allspark fragment is not enough to power the Space Bridge,so he aims for Starscream.He grabs his head and passes it to MixMaster.He places Starscream inside the chamber and the Space Bridge is powered up again.The Bridge consumes too much of Starscream's fragment energy and the destination code is deleted(Claimed by Shockwave)The Bridge begins to suck up anything in it's path.The characters cling on to anything.Megatron tries to eliminate Prime during the disaster and Prime Stasis Cuffs him and releases his sword again,being sucked up by the Space Bridge.


So,I'm guessing there is a Decepticon advantage in this one,since the Decepticons are at the rim of the Galaxy,there is a chance that Megatron will be picked up by his followers.

Prime runs and releases Bulkhead from the Stasis Cuffs and Prowl breaks the cement off BumbleBee.Prime orders everyone to get Sumdac and leave.

Outside,Omega continues his battle and notices the Space Bridge.He blasts the remaining Decepticons to oblivion and head to the hideout.

Another weapon shown for Omega Supreme,where his back acts like a jetpack,and has a great amount of speed.

Omega fianlly lands and protects the characters from the Space Bridge.Optimus is finally glad to see him and Omega tells everyone to leave,so he can absorb the energy to save them.Omega forces Ratchet and Sari to leave him,and Omega is apart,sucked in and is gone,most likely dead.Sumdac sees Sari and embraces her.BumbleBee orders Sumdac and sari to come with him and leave the hideout.Bulkhead leaves but ask the Constructicons if they are leaving.They refuse,so they can protect the oil and a are buried underneath the mines.The Autobots regroup on the other side of the area and Ratchet looks at the mines,greiving over Omega,but Bulkhead believes that he is alive.Sari is happy that the whole thing is over and proves that her father never betrayed them.She reveals her arm and finds that he sleeve and skin are torn off,only seeing circuitry undearneth the skin.She backs away from her father immediately and BumbleBee rushes to protect her.Sumdac looks at her and is about to explain everything.In the final scene,Megatron and Starscream are in space,each wanting to stop staring at each other.They continue complaing throughout the credits(I can no longer explain the rest,due to YTV's ignorance that the Episode is still showing,and heads back to the Crunch Host,however it comes back and Stasrcream laughs at Megatron,possibily for Megatron's stupidity with Prime,while Megatron tells him to shut up)

So,I'll see what they really were saying at Cartoon Network's airing(Which will be either next week or two weeks)

My Thoughts:

The relationship between Ratchet and Omega Supreme was really emotional.Ratchet expresses to Omega in a softer tone,and wishes for him to live.You can assume immediately that thier friendship is as close as brothers(Like that hasn't been done befoe in any Incarnation of Transformers)and the way Ratchet looks at the destryed mountain,you can only wonder the mourning that is going on through his head.To be honest,I hop Omega does live throught his sacrifice,I would really like a flashback Episode between the two.

My thought about Omega's 'death' was that the Ark is now gone,really gone,as in the Autbots are really stuck here in Earth.We are now sure another Season is among us,however how the Hell re they going to go back home.The Elite Guard is now stuck in the Decepticon uprising and it will take a long time before they reach Earth to help them.

What will become of Blurr,Egomaniac and Coward Starscream?They are now at the rim of Space togeter and they could have landed anywhere,perhaps near Cybertron or a planet...or even where Waspinator is.Egomaniac will likely take over and flee while Coward will join Egomaniac or be captured by Blurr and he flees.Most likely,Egomaniac and Coward will defeat Blurr and flee or capture blurr,get answers from him where Cybertron is,and then flee.

My hope is that we will never see any backward or recycled chracter development ever again this Season.BumbleBee really matured himself in this Episode and cooperated with everyone,however,his annoyance is till strong,but sometimes it helps.For Bulkhead,I hope the rest of the Autobots will respect him and leave his art alone too.Bulkhead really becomes a strong character and now I hope to see more of that,being a 'Bot even Prime can cooperate with.

Now for the Decepticons.There is three Starscream Clones,Lugnut, and Blitzwing.Female will likely take the lead role...well that is Lugnut will allow her,since he would find a way to reach Megatron first.I don't know if Shockwave will be involved but I believe he will stay low for a while since Megatron is nowhere in sight.I see a new team of Decepticons featuring Starscream Clones.

Waspinator will definately be in Season III as he will get revenge on BumbleBee.Can't wait.

The Dinobots were nto shown in these Episodes,but now I can assume that they are here for fillerEpisode use only and do not bring enough plot advancement,but I may be wrong.

Megatron will now have to find a way to get off of the Stasis Cuffs and I am not sure if he'll use Starscream this time when other Deceptcions show up,or Waspinator(Hell,you know I want him to play a big role)so we can only guess what his next move will be.

The Elite Guard will show up again I am sure.

Now for the final moment.Sumdac is finally going to explain to Sari about her origin,which we'll have to wait next Season.I won't call htis a cliffhanger because if wasn't as climatic as I hope to be.Now this is hwere the writers will really think hard to make this enjoyable,Transfromers-related(Yes,that includes using technorganic technology)and,convincing for people like me.There are theories that are now applied and plausible,starting from the basic story:

Sari was reverse-engineered by Sumdac through Megatron

Now I can say that parts of her is constructed,giving an abstract form of technorganic technology(We are dealing with the same writer from Beast machines;this is bound to happen)but we can not say if Sari was under the same process as humans were,such as if she was a baby,maturing to what she is now.We don't know if she had any cuts or scrapes that made her bleed.She can age,she can get sick,and she can feel pain,so she has a nervous system,skin cells,a human brain(Or,the brain can be partically mechanized)and we don't know her past,if she was born human and suffered a great injury.There are many loopholes to Sari that the writers will go into great detail to make her origin believable.Many people are now assuming that she is siminar to the character Circuit Breaker,if that were true,then Sari functions and personalities are different from Breaker's,the only thing in common is the mechanical parts they were given.We can only wait and see what Sumdac has in store for us.

A really good Season Finale.Better than the first one.Now to Season III.

Yeah....

anyway here are a few things i hope will happen in the next season

Prowl finally gets his own flashback episode. I think it would be totally unfair to give the others flashback episodes but not him. I mean HE'S IMPORTANT too! From what I've seen he's had the least amount of character centered episodes. We know a lot about him but I want the whole story.

Starscream (hopefully) re-gets his body. If Megatron makes his head a trophy or something I'll be very annoyed. Starscream deserves better than that!

The Clones finally get decent names. Actually Wonko, the white and purple Clone (Liar) is supposed to be Ramjet.

We see more of the clones (I really hope they makes toys for them, especially Laserwave. She's the first femme seeker that's canon and I actually like her a lot)

The returnes of Wreck-Gar, Jazz, and Soundwave. I would also like to see more of Arcee and they had BETTER make a toy for her. It would be totally unfair to make toys of everyone else but forget Arcee. Yeah, I know she was only in a flashback but she still deserves her own toy! (it's kind of like what happened with Botanica from Beast Machines. She appeared in a lot of episodes but never got her own toy. I personally would have loved to see a toy for her. I would have been awesome!)

Waspintor returns and become a Decepticon or whatever and gets his revenge

Blackarachnia makes more appearances. She's make like what? Five so far and they didn't really seem important. The writers had better get their butts in gear and actually DO something useful with her! Heck I can think of a lot os things they could do!

Less Bumblebee Centered episodes. In the last season they had three Bee centered episodes in a row. ENOUGH already! He's not even that great a character. And less lines for him. If I count the amount of time people talk in each episode he's usually the one with the most lines or close to it.

maybe some flashback episodes for the decepticons.

And we finally get to know Sari's back story. No more skipping around it. It must be explained. Hopefully it won't end up like I think it will cause that would scare the children.

Yes mmy Review for both Episodes are very long...that's because they add a lot of stuff within one hour...kudos to the writers on that one.

Prowl will have a flashback Episode...or...Lockdown is going to be involved with him again,hell it would still be cool if Lockdown comes back.Period.

The Clones will be vital now.

Wreck-Gar...yay!!!!!!!And finally Soundwave.I have a feeling there will be less holes on his character.

Waspy!Wspy!Waspy!

Less BumbleBee,don't get the hopes up yet.

Flashback Episodes for the Cons....well I don't know,however it will provide more insight to the War itself,and,it will be a stepstone to the origin of the Decepticon Army.

Sari....this better be good.

So...I only recently finished watching A Bridge Too Close, and, honestly, I'm in awe, since they somehow managed to pull off introducing a whole bunch of characters and not making them look too minor.

Blurr = <3

If Sari IS reverse-engineered from Megatron, which she most likely is...um...wouldn't that mean that Megs IS technically her mom of sorts.....? *flashbacks to the scenario Jagna presented*

Just last week I heard a Podcast saying on the First Episode title of Season III

'Sari,You're A Robot'

Now I know the writers must change the titel,other wise,we might see a lot of disappointment in explanation...however,if that title does remain,there will be a large falshback Episode(Maybe a Two-Parter,who knows)
