I'd say "YouTube", but it seems Hasbro's putting the hurt on users uploading the episodes. I'm sure one of our fellow board members would be generous enough to put up links to the episodes of Season 3.

It's not necessarily being canceled: just like Beast Wars and Armada, Prime's writers are working on a sequel series to Prime.

That's what "sequel series" means.

It will also be canon with the rest of the Aligned continuity - WFC, Rescue Bots, FoC, Exodus, & Exiles

Prime & Beast Hunters are the same show.

Mindmaster wrote:Weird. So, when set in stone or something else, the Star Saber cannot be moved unless handled by a Prime (ala Excalibur), but when it's just laying on the ground like that, it can be picked up by others?

Yep, then we have the series finale movie in late August/early September.

Check out this exclusive shot from tomorrow's finale of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters! With the chance to restore life to their home planet finally within reach, the Autobots and their human friends face the Decepticons for a last showdown.

Almost as bad as the end of T3 DotM.

Thanks to the movies and these recent series, I now almost projectile vomit when I here or see Bumblebee or even a yellow camaro. :vomit:

The humans were aggravating as well.

Kid, an episode is built around writing, storytelling, and character development, something "Deadlock" delivered well. It's not built around how much you hate a character because your local Wal-Mart overstocked him.

How was this a shit ending? It had closure, something other series didn't have.

What was so ridiculous about it? Autobots finally defeat the Decepticons. They've been doing it since forever.

PrymeStriker wrote:Yes, because showing affection toward comrades you've fought beside for years is certainly a taboo

Tell me; do you have any friends? If so, you too have experienced a similar "love fest."

:lol:

Yeah, you must be having a bad day to compare this to that.

Oh here we go with this bull again.

He won't be happy until the Decepticons win. No use arguing over it with him.

Good way to take my point out of context. It had nothing to do with the "love fest" you're referring to, it has to do with the writers "love fest" toward making the Autobots so superior and the Decepticons turn into idiots.

Why??? Both endings took about 7 minutes to dispose of all the bad guys....really????

Kid eh? Tell me old timer, how old are you? Then we'll determine who the "kid" is.

I love how you condescending fans always post obvious stuff like you're suddenly opening everyone's eyes to what goes on in a TV show.

I don't hate him because he sits on the shelf at Walmart, I hate him because he went from a "scout" to this utterly ridiculous unstoppable robot.

Oh here we go with this bull again.

Yeah, heaven forbid anyone have a different opinion. I understand the necessity to have humans involved, but now they give them the bumblebee treatment.

I mean c'mon, Soundwave survives battles with Airachnid and Wheeljack, he escapes Autobot capture, and then of all things, he's all of a sudden going to turn dumb and get out-smarted by a couple of brats????

PrymeStriker wrote:Damn the day the Autobots win the final battle...

If that's your beef, you might as well quit Transformers now.

In DOTM, the Autobots killed all of the Decepticons mercilessly without moral.

In Prime, only Megatron died (epically) and the rest were cleverly disposed of without death, most without any interference of the Autobots. Soundwave trapped in the Shadowzone, Starscream and Shockwave's escape, Knock Out's side-switch, and (though 5 episodes ago) Airachnid's improsonment on the moon.

I call everyone "kid." Quit taking things so literally for a change.

I am an aspiring writer myself, and none of your complaints attack what really matters in telling and ending a story. Most of what you're complaining about is a bunch of Decepticon-fanatic tantrum kibble.

Yes, because in Prime, he was no match compared to Breakdown, Shockwave, MECH, and Knock Out. He just slaughtered them all, right?

I fail to see your point. Bumblebee only crushes the Vehicons, who are terrible fighters themselves. The only 'cons he's snuffed are Skyquake and Megatron, both were mostly unexpected strategical attacks. Do you think brawn conquers strategy on the field?

The "bull" I'm referring to is the fancry cliché that "GAWWWW HUMANS AREE ANNNOYING STUUPID SHOW."

With Wheeljack and Airachnid, Soundwave had strategical advantage. Soundwave has no idea what the Shadowzone was 'nor was he aware that the humans were going to trap him.

You think characters just know everything that goes on and can stop everything in every circumstance? That's called being overpowered, which makes for the worst storytelling ever.

Again, for some reason, you miss my point. THERE WAS NEVER A POINT WHERE THE STORY MADE YOU THINK THE DECEPTICONS EVEN HAD A CHANCE.

For a writer, you're not much of a reader. I never said anything about "killed of death", I said "disposed", which covered any case in which a Decepticon met his fate or ending.

I'll simply refer you to the point I made in caps. I don't mind the Autobots winning, I simply have the problem with having never felt like it was in doubt.

but he survived them,

against foes that should have crushed him.

I fail to see your point. Bumblebee only crushes the Vehicons, who are terrible fighters themselves. The only 'cons he's snuffed are Skyquake and Megatron, both were mostly unexpected strategical attacks. Do you think brawn conquers strategy on the field?

Strategic or not, making him the reason that 2 of the more powerful Decepticons get taken out is silly, why not have him strategically take out Predaking as well?

The "bull" I'm referring to is the fancry cliché that "GAWWWW HUMANS AREE ANNNOYING STUUPID SHOW."

So when someone has a different opinion, it's a fancry cliche?

As calculating as Soundwave was during the entire show's span, they turned him into an idiot for the last 20 seconds he's on the show.

I just don't like it when you never feel the good guys are in trouble, it takes away any suspense or feeling in the show.

Look, it's a matter of opinion, I expressed mine, you don't like it, and I don't agree with yours, let's just move on.

If you expected the Decepticons to win or even wanted them to have a chance, then you clearly haven't experienced Transformers enough.

The Decepticons are always disposed of in the end.

You're not much of a reader either. Only Megatron and Soundwave met an end. Starscream, Shockwave, Knock Out, and Airachnid are still very much active and will likely be put to use in the "Predacons Rising" movie.

Because killing off one of your biggest characters is a smart business move.

Bumblebee is to Transformers as Applejack is to MLP or Michaelangelo is to TMNT. You don't just throw away one of your biggest characters.

Getting crushed =/= death. You're very narrow-minded if you think Bumblebee didn't get his bee-hind beat by Knock Out or Shockwave.

Because Predaking is both Brain and Brawn. Megatron and Skyquake were all brawn and no brain. Especially with Megatron - he was so cocky that he killed Bumblebee that he didn't expect him to stab him in the chest. If you shot someone three times in the heart, would YOU expect them to get up and shove a knife in yours?

When something is repeatedand overdone, it is a cliché. Hate towards humans have existed in the fandom for 30 years, and by now, it is cliché.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but how long have you been a fan of Transformers? You seem to be missing out on some of the major points of the fandom and franchise.

Okay, smarty pants. How would you propose Soundwave was to know another bridge was to open behind him? Please, step into Soundwave's shoes and devise how Soundwave was to focus on getting Miko out of his way and detecting 0.5 second Ground Bridge activation MILES away and avoid being sucked into the two portals into the Shadowzone.

I don't like it either - I don't bash the whole episode for not catering to my "Bad Guy Fan" needs. I become objective when watching these episodes. It probably helps me from studying the elements of storytelling, but I'm certain every Transformers fan watching this had no doubt the Autobots were going to win.

After explaining the word "dispose" in the sense I was using it, it was clear what I meant

So he got beat up, again, it's not like there was ever a chance anything more would happen.

Not if it was anyone other than the golden idol of the franchise, no. If it was anyone else, realistically, then yes, I expect them to die.

I have a problem with a bunch of brats taking down Decepticons like it was nothing.

He didn't have to know, but to have him stand there, rather than walk into his own bridge, was absolutely stupid. He just stood there watching the other bridge get closer.

That's fine that you're an Autobot homer, that never expects the bad guys do do anything even remotely threatening.

then why bother with the goody 2 shoes stories if you always know the inevitable outcome?

I guess having a different opinion isn't enough for you, you have to try and shove your holier than thou opinion in my face constantly, as if in some way to make me feel my opinion is wrong.

Fine, then let Megatron lose to Optimus as it should be, not to a mumbling excuse to over-produce merchandise.

Again, I have NO PROBLEM with humans being the shows, open your **** eyes already.

Again, just accept my opinion as mine and not yours and move on, you WILL NOT change my opinion, nor will you make me feel bad or inferior for having it. Move on.
