I got a prodiction for Transformers Prime. Optimus will most likely die in second or third season then like always come back in the middle of said season.
Miko finally fulfilled her role as the naive, rash girl who gets into trouble. She pretty much blew Bulkhead's stealth approach and relied on him getting out of cover to save her.
They're always has to be one idiot in the group who just has to be part of the action.

One criticism that I have, though, is the part where Agent Fowler is firing the machine gun which makes direct hits... but there's no visible signs of damage. Granted, Fowler's chopper did seem a bit small for military use, but the fact that it had a gun indicates that it was built to defend itself. U.S. Apache helicopter rounds are capable of ripping through fighter planes such as the F/A-18 Hornet; a jet that can take a hit from a missile and still function properly. I know that Cybertronians are heavily armored with metallic compounds unfounded on Earth, but sometimes I feel that creators make them a bit overpowered.

On a different subject, I'm anticipating Season 2 right now. I'm really curious to see if they bring in new characters. If I could pick three Autobots to return, they would definitely be:

1) Jazz - since the beginning of Transformer's history, he's always been Prime's 1st Lieutenant.
2) Wheeljack - he's the technological wizard, a role that has recently drifted into Ratchet's (the medic) lap.
3) Silverbolt - I think kids nowadays are actually smart enough to realize that air superiority is crucial in war. Planes >>> Cars.
Maybe Ratbat IS just that strong lol

And apprantly Wheeljack will be in a future episode since he has a character model made up (as seen in one of those preview shows)

Here's the pic I was talking about o this thread http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... prime.html you can see his original hood on his chest and the silver back kibble

Hoo-rah! One down, two to go!

***EDIT***

Whoah, tonight's episode was pretty epic. Great emotion, plot development, and obviously great action. I definitely like Bulkhead in this series a lot more than his Animated version. I also think that the Megatron/Starscream interaction is the best portrayal of their relationship since the G1 era.

I agree, same old Starscream and same old Megatron. Just with a different look and of course just with a different voice for Starscream.

So I just watched last night's episode on Youtube. Holy cow it was good. At first I was so-so on the idea of making so many disposable Decepticons, but now I don't care about the generics. Just sit back and enjoy the show and each characters' moment of awesome. I could have sworn that Optimus was going to die (again) but I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't :D The ending cracked me up too when Starscream retreats like a pansy and Megs is looking around asking "Starscream?! Where's my ship?!"

Yeah XD. Also when was was annouceing Megatron "demise" (Let's face it, we all he's gonna come back somehow) I figured that after that he would say something along the lines of "I'm in charge now" and of course when he said "All hail Starscream", I thought, "I knew it." XD

Yeah, I know what you mean. Though I do think that is the point of the generics. Besides, most likely we don't have to care about about since they get killed anyway.

To be fair,TeleToon is airing the first five Episodes of Prime starting on the 9th.

And on that,I will Post my Review one by one by then.

I've seen the Five-Parter twice now and am watching a bit of Beast Wars and Beast Machines at the moment (Which is why I delayed for this long) to have an 'honest,almost unbiased' opinion on the overall review of Prime.So,I'm not down or out on this.

Transformers Prime is Back!! Feb. 11! Whoo!

I just have one question, who the heck is Skyquake? I managed to see what the episode was going to be about and it mention Skyquake.

Apparently it's a reference to a Decepticon with the same name in either G1 or G2. Never actually noticed him but looking forward to seeing what he's capable of. His appearance screams assassin bad@$$ though.

Skyquake is a Transformer from G1. He was part of a Decepticon group known as the Predators. The Predators are the rivals of the Autobot Turbomasters and they have this scope gimmick -- the two large Predators Skyquake and Stalker have scopes and the smaller Predator jets can attach to these scopes and when you look through them you can see images of an Autobot Turbomaster in their crosshairs. Skyquake and Stalker were later repainted as Machine Wars Starscream and Soundwave respectively, but without weapons or missiles and their scope gimmicks were slightly retooled so that they're not easily compatible with the Predator jets anymore.

So I think it's rather ironic that apparently Transformers Prime's Skyquake is meant to be fiercely loyal to Megatron - the polar opposite to Starscream, considering that the G1 Skyquake toy was repainted as Machine Wars Starscream. ;) Oh, and in Transformers Universe the Skyquake mould was repainted again as King Atlas.

G1 Skyquake: ImageImage

Machine Wars Starscream Image

King Atlas Image

BotCon Skyquake Image (repaint of Energon Starscream - ironic, no? ;))

I just watched the new episode. I. LOVED. IT.

I loved the scene where Prime was talking to Ratchet. It shows you that despite everything Prime still hangs on to the hope of trying to save rather than destroy. Good old Prime :D

Also, Ratchet's tweaking with the kids' projects was so hilarious!

Skyquake was awesome too =)

I also loved it, and Starscream and Megatron's relationship hasn't changed in 27 years, man do they need counseling. Lol.

I enjoyed this episode. :)

My favourite line: "I studied for millennia under our former master, thus I am equipped to lead you—I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, Emperor of Destruction!"
Nice G1 reference there. ;)

I noticed that too, Goki.

And yes, Night Hunter those two do. XD

Also, did you guys notice Prime's hips swaying alittle? XD I saw that.
