Transformers Prime "Alpha, Omega" Preview Clip

Egypt?

Whoever said that Arcee has bad luck with Autobot partners... well, let us pray that Smokescreen isn't dead.

Also, Omega Key. Cool.

Hmm...Egypt, a tomb, an evil decepticon sword, the arm of who knows? Id'e wager The Fallen at this point.

Still looks like they might go to Cybertron to get the arm.

It's probably just the Omega Key that's hidden in Egypt.

Great Megatron broke the Pyramids!

now's there's 6 wonders of the world.

Just now noticed he ditched his Fusion Cannon for the miscolored arm.

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.

Typical Megatron.

Sabrblade wrote:Whoever said that Arcee has bad luck with Autobot partners... well, let us pray that Smokescreen isn't dead.

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.

Reminds me of G1 Megatron's purple lightsaber.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. Just look at megatron's arm

Nerdage has shared a trio of teaser images from tomorrow's new episode of Transformers Prime, "Alpha, Omega". We've saw the first one of Megatron and his new toy earlier in the week, but the second and third are new. Be sure to tune into the Hub tomorrow evening at 7:00 PM ET.

Looks like the whole "arm-from-a-tomb" idea is correct, and isn't Prime's arm or some other things. So the arm alone allows the things to be used? That's a dumb premise, it should be something like having park of your spark in the Matrix, or something more "magical".
Nevertheless, looking forward to it.

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?

The size of Star Saber just makes you realize how big the original 13 were.

Another thing, this whole Sword thing makes me think of Soul Calibur. Anyone agrees?

Just like the toys. They get smaller.

I meant Optimus' arm.

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.

I was looking at the second picture and realised something: the detailing on the star saber exactly matches the little sword that came with rid voyager prime
Time to break out the sharpies methinks...

The official Transformers facebook page has posted yet another teaser image for tonight's new episode of Transformers Prime, "Alpha, Omega". Be sure to tune into the Hub this evening at 7:00 PM ET.

Don't miss an epic clash between Optimus Prime and Megatron in a brand new episode of Transformers Prime, tonight at 7 pm ET on The Hub TV Network!

Reminds me of the Super Link intro near the end where we see Grand Convoy and Galvatron lock swords just like Prime and Megs are doing here.

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

It broke, And the primes killed Unicron with it and it broke.

Freakin' amazing episode. The story behind Megatron's mismatched arm and ending was especially shocking. Can't say I'm thrilled for the next episode, but I'll bite and watch it anyway.

Mindmaster wrote:The story behind Megatron's mismatched arm and ending was especially shocking.

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.

I'm gonna go out on a whim and say that wasn't the real Star Saber. If it is though, well then, that's gonna suck for the 'bots.

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

An awesome one.

So, the Star Saber does end up too awesome to use. Shame.

Good episode! Smokescreen continues to be a new found highlight for me, I love his lil comments! Kinda disappointed with the Star Saber, but somehow I don't think we've seen the end of it

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

So... When is he going to change his name to Sesshomegatron?

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:So... When is he going to change his name to Sesshomegatron?

Change his name to what?

Megatron kicked ass!!! Optimus and Smokescreen cheated.

Mindmaster wrote:

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:So... When is he going to change his name to Sesshomegatron?

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?

Though, there was a time where the two did consider each other "brothers" (in a friendship sense).

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.

So how many homages is that in one episode?

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,

lonrac wrote:and the Decepticon Space Bridge on the Dark of the Moon?

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.

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.

lonrac wrote:So how many homages is that in 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.

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.

oh yes and great casting, George Takei as Alpha Trion,

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).

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.

Anyway...

really enjoying prime especially in the last couple of episode where it has become very dark

even the worse prime episode, in any 20 minutes outclasses anything michael bay and co came up with.

Though, for the record, beign dark for the sake of being dark a good show does not make.

Yeah, I'll agree that even "Darkness Rising" was better than the movies.
