Still More G1 Episodes

"Atlantis, Arise!"

- Telepathic scaly folk. Whose lips move when they do the telepathic thing. Apparently they have to sound at the words in their head before they can transmit.

- "The Decepticons and Autobots fighting will destroy my city! Oh, noes! I know, I'll blow up the energon stockpile and destroy the city myself!"

- Spike, if Carly can't get away with wearing a bikini when she scubas down to the Nemesis, then you can't get away with wearing trunks when you scuba over to Sub-Atlantica.

- The Dinobots are cooler than the majority of the other Autobots. Go, Grimlock!

"Day of the Machines"

- I like the doctor who can cobble together a telephone from the parts in his office after the Infected Computer takes over. (Yes, I forgot the computer's name. Sue me.)

- Skyfire gets speaking lines! All right! They're lame, and his role in this episode is fairly lame, but at least he's not the Autobots' sky-taxi!

- You uploaded your own personality into Infected Computer, Megatron? Puh-leaze. The way you describe him, you uploaded a loyal version of Starscream.

"Enter the Nightbird"

- The Nightbird is more bad-ass than all of the Autobots and Decepticons.

- Optimus Prime promises not to damage the Nightbird. All well and good, and he more or less pulls this off. However, he was asked not to damage her because she had valuable, hard-to-replace components in her. When Dr. Fujiyama (Mt. Fuji, why are you incarnating?) gets her back, he proceeds to lock her away presumably in the same condition he got her in. Dude, if you're not going to use her ever again, why not just take her apart?

- The vibes I got from Megatron regarding the Nightbird were "my shiny new toy!" Starscream just took him way too seriously.


- Did anyone else want to slap Wheeljack and Ratchet when they were making rude remarks about Earth tech? Hello, guys? You want us to just give you fuel so you can fight the Decepticons and we can cower? Sorry, boys, doesn't work that way. We will look for ways to fight the bastards and get rid of our dependency on you, because we don't like having to rely on someone else to protect us.

You Autobots want to really be helpful, you give us tech.

- However, evidence is that they don't want to be careful as Prime makes a comment when he returns the Nightbird about removing all the 'con tech from her.

"A Prime Problem"

- I find it very cool that apparently Megatron's duplication device can also duplicate the Matrix. Either that, or Teletraan-One can't sense the Matrix.

- The tests the Autobots devised to try to tell which Prime was which seem more like "we're really bored and want some entertainment" activities.

- Look! Those same crystals that are lying all over the damn place in Beast Wars!

- Laserbeak, he be bad. Takes down Prime, takes down Starscream... Good times, good times.

- Of course, Megatron's scintillating personality is what tips the Autobots off that they're dealing with an impostor. Not that he doesn't know how to work Teletraan, or that he can't identify one Autobot from the next, oh no.

- Who the hell was the Autobot who caught Spike at the end? I didn't know any of them could turn into planes at that point in time.

- There's a scene where Megatron is explaining his evil plan and generally having an evil monologue with his little control helmet on. I kept wondering if he'd made sure to turn off the transmitter so that his Prime-clone wasn't saying this.
