Less epic-sounding than the last too, but still curious about it. What race could this be referring to? The hunt for more relics? Another literal race like in "Speed Metal"? What?

Perhaps the Resonance Blaster comes back into play?

Either way, more Starscream is always good.

I quite like gimmicks. As long as they don't suck or compromise the well-being of the figure. :roll:

Indeed.

Not to get off topic or anything, but in FOC, the explanation for Omega's absence (thanks to an audio log) was that he went round two with Megatron, and had Dark Energon infused in him AGAIN, sending him to stasis.

Does this mean he's deactivated for good or he's in a temporary coma of sorts?

I think this is very likely. I originally thought that Knock Out would be using a sample of synthetic energon he salvaged and copied from what little remained at the end of "Faster, Stronger," but it seems from the episode description that the Resonance blaster is more likely.

The AT&T U-verse program guide yields a few additional details for upcoming episode of Transformers Prime "Hard Knocks". This episode is scheduled to air on October 5th. See the extended synopsis below:

When their desperate efforts to acquire the coveted Omega Keys take an unexpected and frantic turn, Knock Out is able to take advantage of the power of sound while Starscream uses his efforts to focus on the power of hyper-speed.

That makes it sound like Knock Out and Starscream team up...to me, anyway.
Either way, I fear for Knock Out's safety, even with the Resonance Blaster. He doesn't always have the best luck.
Still, it will be nice to see him get some action.

I don't like where these episodes are going. I am not fond of all these mystical weapons. Soon I'm going to here Prime yelling "power sword activate". These characters are machines, one wants a new sword, they can build it, one wants to go faster, have ratchet or knockout upgrade your body. I don't want to see magic in transformers, I had enough of that in TRoF movie with the primes and the dumbass matrix. I also never liked beast machines because of this same reason.

Dude, they're not mere machines. They're super robot lifeforms. There's been supernatural elements in this meta-series ever since the Creation Matrix's introduction in 1985. Why, even their Sparks are almost "magical" in nature.

I dunno. "Alpha/Omega" was epic, but I feel like the Star Saber's time was cut short, and that Megatron forged the Dark Saber too quickly. I mean, at least in Armada they actually used the Mini-Con weapons for several episodes, i.e. how Hot Shot owned the Cons with the Star Saber, but getting beaten by Scavenger and betrayed by Sideways hit him hard. Meanwhile, in Prime, the Star Saber is an epic sword, but gets broken by some Dark Energon, and the only artifact anyone's actually using is the phase shifter. Sure, Screamer's got Red Energon, Megs has the Dark Saber, and KO's gonna have the Resonance Blaster, but how long are those going to last? If you have plot devices in a series, you should use them.

And what've they done with that? Create an over-powered weapon, that's all.

If he has more Dark Energon, which I'm pretty sure he does, he could make one for every [named] Decepticon! ;)^

No. I don't want Dark Energon to become the new Bumblebee be more overpowered than it apparently already is.

This show is like the third or fourth brother of successful TF shows. The first is G1, second is Beast Wars and (maybe) third is Animated.

Actually, if a chunk of Dark Energon can bring up a planet full of the undead...

but Megatron wouldn't do that anyway. He'd give one to Soundwave at least, but tell me when he's gone head to head with an Autobot other than Wheeljack. I don't think Megatron trusts anyone else with such a powerful weapon, given the events that took place with Starscream and Airachnid.

They were going to used the Spark Extractor in "Flying Mind" until the living warship nixed that plan.

Cliffjumper? You're joking right? He's not a main character. All main Autobots are accounted for.

Oh for god's sake, look at the bigger picture !!! The Decepticon management team is shrinking, Autobots not so much.

Tailgate and Seaspray don't count in my argument cause they're "passing by" characters. And since cliffjumper gets mentioned so many times, I assumed he was a main character.

What defines a main character is it's importance and contribution to the overall plot. Cliffjumper is only mentioned when Arcee has her [annoying] revenge arc, and a few rare times after that. We can't really count a character that's been dead since Episode 1 a main character, no matter how many times he appears in flashbacks. If we wanted to consider Cliffjumper a main character because of that, we might as well include Tailgate.

At this rate of the show, the Autobots will still lose less guys than the Decepticons. It's kinda turned into Star Trek Voyager and the magic reset button.

Why DO the writers keep mentioning Cliffjumper anyway ? Is it just for Hasbro to keep selling his toys ?
