Also, Omega Key. Cool.

Still looks like they might go to Cybertron to get the arm.BeastProwl wrote:Hmm...Egypt, a tomb, an evil decepticon sword, the arm of who knows? Id'e wager The Fallen at this point.
It's probably just the Omega Key that's hidden in Egypt.

Dibs on the idea he forged the "Vorpal Saber", as I'm calling it til we get confirmation on what it will be called (your move, Sabr), from his Fusion Cannon, and the result was the sword and its corruptive properties extended around his arm.
A counterargument would be that in the first promo, when Megatron is wielding Solus Prime's Forge, I think his Fusion Cannon was on his arm.

Probably not this episode, but he does get captured by the 'cons in a future episode. Remember?
She doesn't have bad luck with all Autobot partners. Just ones that were once minibots.
Quite frankly, all the minibots have been having bad luck lately.
Which makes me wonder about someone.
Nah. They won't do that because of the kids. The kids.....the kids.

My guess; probably not, as he's still early. Then again, they did kill Cliffjumper in the first episode...
Be interesting to see which Prime's arm Megatron has welded to his shoulder.

Who said that? Megatron and Dreadwing are obviously flying off-world to get an arm, and nobody else (or elses arm) can hold these Prime-forged devices but a Prime. So, where is your source of information?
Posted by all_the_primes on September 27th, 2012 @ 6:24pm CDT
Another thing, this whole Sword thing makes me think of Soul Calibur. Anyone agrees?

But.......it never looked like Optimus' arm.

That's what he was asking about. He was wondering where you heard the idea of it being Optimus's arm.YRQRM0 wrote:PrymeStriker wrote:YRQRM0 wrote: and isn't Prime's arm or some other things.

I want to see more Unicron Trilogy homages. As long as they don't contradict the continuity. Damn Omega Lock.

The Star Saber breaking was a crazy shock (Optimus only had it for 3/4 of an episode, collectively ), but I think most of us saw Megatron's arm coming. And I mean it being that of a Prime. That was too obvious for anything else to be the outcome.

I must have been the exception.
I'm a Unicron Trilogy kind of fan. Prime's freakin' awesome, but it doesn't give me the kick that the Transformers I grew up with did.
....Nostalgia is kicking in, it seems. -sigh-

Probably. It was kind of obvious, considering these weapons could only be wielded by a prime.

I grew up as a toddler watching Beast Wars, but didn't join the fandom until around Energon and Cybertron (pretty much in between, as I watched both shows before the others, minus Beast Wars), so you're not alone. Although I find this Optimus Prime to be the wisest. Boring or not, his head is right in this game.

Of course it's the real Star Saber. What kind of person makes a fake one that only a Prime can wield?

Especially if Smokescreen ends up stealing the Forge of Solus Prime in an upcoming episode.

Sesshomaru + Megatron. The events that happened in the episode was a page from Inuyasha. The only difference is that they are not half-brothers, he was willing to have his arm severed, and there is no sign that he will slightly change his mood by accepting a human into his life. Or would he?
Posted by Sabrblade on September 29th, 2012 @ 12:05am CDT
Though, there was a time where the two did consider each other "brothers" (in a friendship sense).KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Mindmaster wrote:KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:So... When is he going to change his name to Sesshomegatron?

So now that Optimus got his Tetsusaiga broken, think we'll see Totosai come in to repair it? Or may have Prime learn to repell his enemies' attacks with it? Or learn to shoot diamonds from it? Hey, maybe it'll even glow red one day.

Omega Keys? Cybertron or WFC?
Dark Star Sabre? Armada?
The Covenant of Primus ? Exodus?
Tomb of the Primes? Egypt? ROTF
and the Decepticon Space Bridge on the Dark of the Moon?
okay maybe that last one was a little sad....
so until somebody call "OMEGA KEY POWER".....
I take it that today's episode happened on a schoolday- no Jack/Miko/Raph.
oh yes and great casting, George Takei as Alpha Trion,
Posted by Sabrblade on September 29th, 2012 @ 10:32am CDT
no, it was just hidden back behind the moon because that's a good place to hide it. That space bridge was previously located in a cave.lonrac wrote:and the Decepticon Space Bridge on the Dark of the Moon?
Other series have hidden stuff behind the moon for the same reason (it's a good hiding place). Like Cybertron hiding the ship Atlantis back there for one episode.

Pretty much both. Confusing, right?
Dark Star Sabre? Armada?
Uhm, Vorpal Saber? Dark Saber? Yep, Armada reference.
The Covenant of Primus ? Exodus?
Yup.
Tomb of the Primes? Egypt? ROTF
Yup x2.
and the Decepticon Space Bridge on the Dark of the Moon?
Behind it.
so until somebody call "OMEGA KEY POWER".....
They don't do that here. They're supposed to restore Cybertron, so I don't think they harness any particular powers for battle per TFC.

Well, Jack got in trouble in the last episode, so I wouldn't be surprised if Arcee told his mother. And Raf's getting relocated by Fowler, but who cares where Miko is.

Teehehehehehhee.

The cyber Planet Keys restored "life" to Cybertron. The Cyber Keys are what he's thinking of (which is understandable since the Hasbro toys called every Cyber Key toy a "Cyber Planet Key" with only the show making a distinction between the two).PrymeStriker wrote:so until somebody call "OMEGA KEY POWER".....

I know that's what he's talking about. I don't expect them to randomly yell "Omega Key Power!" for new weapons and plunge the Omega Lock in the core to make Cybertron transform is my point.
