Ok the names from memory so is probably wrong, but since there wasnt already one for yesterdays episode I made this thread Im just testing the spoiler Cool episode, Ive been left fairly indifferent to most of this season, besides Wreak Gars appearance theyve not been bad but I think someone here or elsewhere said treading water. as frustrating as Megatrons rebuild was in season one the season at least felt like it heading somewhere. Theres a sense of a war brewing type set up but its pretty vague. I thought the big reveal was a bit unsurprising but for a 5-10 without the level of background knowledge the spies voice wouldnt have been such a give away. Though his talk with Megatron made it pretty obvious it wasnt Waspy I really liked the Cybertronian form for Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Waspy. Id love the three to be released in a three pack. Ironhide was underused but I hope we see more of him. Andy Edit The spoilers are great why dont more boards have such greatness? |

A pity it wasn't Clifjumper that was the traitor instead of a character based on waspinator, who at the end he acts like. Which doesn't make much sense to me. CJ doesn't even get to talk, he just gets shafted to repaint status like TC and Skywap  |

I think is one of the best episodes so far. Some genuinely funny moments and some great setup for future episodes. So much fan service, maybe a little...too much?
NO!

Wasp does seem a bit like Ruckus

Well, other than that amazingly wonderful delicious ending, which by the by also allowed for some good stereotyping of poor old Wasp... I have to say it was the complexity of this episode that I really liked. Bumblebee is a very arrogant character - he always has been - and here it's shown that arrogance and ambition have negative consequences and leave painful bruises. In fact - if anything the Autobots here don't behave very Autobot like - I see no difference between Autobot Camp and "Decepticon Camp" - if there is such a thing. But this makes everything all the more interesting  Can't wait for the Long Arm toy! pete |

The second series of Animated has been more miss than hit in my opinion, but this episode was one of the best they have done. Maybe its due to me more enjoying stories with flashbacks, explaining more of the roots of the characters.
The main thing that stands out for me is how useless the Elite guard are at guarding prisoners. Within the space of 3 episodes both Starscream and Wasp have escaped. Is it a coincidence that Sentinel Prime was in the vancinity of both escapes? Does that mean he is also a spy or just inept at his job? You decide.
Edit: Just thought I would ask does anyone else think Long-Arm had more of a Go-Bot feeling too him, or is it just me?

Long Arm's look was more "generic" - and I think that was the point here - to make him look like a run-of the mill Autobot.
Wasp had an "evil" look to him - so the prejudice would be to believe him to be the spy. Longarm was like some innocent normal regular bot...
anyways - the Elite Guard is generally useless - and I think Sentinel Prime is just plain inept and a horrible horrible leader.
