YTV Airing TFA - S.U.V. Tomorrow @ 11:00 am

As much as I'm not looking forward to seeing characters like Angry Archer, Nanosec, and Proffessor Princess, I am eager to see how the writers depict a certain "benefactor."

My money's on Devasta- Porter C. Powell.

My sentiments exactly! We have to suffer through watching the worst fleshbags TF:A has to offer in order to see this "mysterious benefactor"

***thinks she knows who it is, but doesn't wanna spoil the fun quite yet***

Chances are it's Powel, the guy running Sumac's company, since he's already been established as a Lex Luther type villain.

I already got it spoiled by the screenshots

It's cool though, the benefactor is cool.

I'm looking forward to this episode to see the mysterious benifactor who isn't powell but I won't say anymore.

I wonder if he's gonna be the sweet talking-backstabing-G1ish guy in a new humvee body w/ bolo tie. I hope he kicks Nanosec's @$$ with his porable arsenal of illegal cybertronian WMD's

Actually, you said "porable."

You spoiler you!! I knew the answer, but I didn't wanna spoil stuff for others......now you all know who you have to wait for as you suffer through the likes of Professor Princess and Angry Archer ....

.....like the lollipop for letting the dentist drill on your teeth for 2 hours!

Just watched it, yay.

Swindle is a real smooth talker.

I really think AA and Nanosec are great.

But Professor Princess and "Slowmo" make me want to claw my eyes out and plug my ears with a corkscrew.

I can handle slow-mo more than professor princess.... Swindle was quite funny and the episode was a lot of fun.

Probably the worst episode of Animated. Im not a whiner, considering I loved pretty much every single episode.

Swindle's is probably the benefactor

Is it just me or dose Swindle sound like Adam West?

No, he doesn't sound like Adam West.
West has a deeper voice and a different timber to it.
Swindle's voice did, however, automatically make me know who his VA is: Fred Willard

I thought he sounded like Fred Willard! An interesting choice...So far, I think animated has probably had some of the best and most surprising guest stars of all the TF series.....

Just watched it.

Slo Mo was nice. I liked her speech and attitude, and she made Nanosec better. Swindle was okay, nice firepower, but he really wasn't too much. I thought it was interesting when he mentioned that alien race he traded with. Nothing very exciting, and with a quite a bit of humans instead of Cons, it was a little boring compared to better episodes. If we have to have human villians, I hope Slo Mo returns. I don't really care about Swindle.

Oh yes, bring on the Vok!

Meh, Slowmo's tolerable, but Professor Princess... Well, I hope they make a figure of PP so I can take my TFA Sounwave toy (which I WILL aquire in the future) and use Laserbeak as a literal axe to her, or maybe have my G1 Sixshot in wolf form use her to clean his teeth

Overall the episode was good IMO. The whole Vok thing came as a complete surprise to me, though.

This episode was better than I thought. I was totally surprized when I heard Swindles voice. And he mentioned to Vok! And it was quite ironic that at the end Swindle would be broken down and sold for scrap. Seeing as how that's what he did to his Combaticon brothers in G1. I hope we see more of him.

Just saw it! I was surprised...I actually liked it! Mind you, I still find ramming an ice-pick into my eye more appealing than watching the likes of Angry Archer, Nanosec and Professor Princess, I tolerated it to see what they would do with Swindle.....

....I was not disappointed! Great use of the character, including that lovely arm-mounted cannon of his! And that voice...! PERFECT! Sounds like a slick, greasy, weaselly used car slinger...as it should for Swindle! The best was the dialogue between Swindle and Big Megs regarding the sale of his doo-hickey....I was amused!

And the Beast Wars easter egg could not have been much bigger, could it?? I heard mention of The Vok and "Nexus Zero" and nearly snapped my head off my shoulders! Pyro LOVES Beast Wars nods!!

So, all in all, episode was full of YAY!

Just saw it, and it was great!
I must be one of the few fans who actually enjoys these human villains.
Professor Princess is awesome! That may be influenced somewhat by the fact that I was always a big fan of Rugrats, and so having her voiced by the same voice actor as Phil & Lil adds a lot of charm for me.

Loved Swindle. Excelent use of his character. I'm really liking the trend in this show to have badguys that aren't all just of the one faction. It makes it more interesting having these freelance agents like Swindle and Lockdown, and even Starscream to some degree, rather than just a single team of Decepticons under the command of Megatron.

I'm not a Beast Wars fan, but I've heard of the Vok just through being in the fandom, so that was a nice reference for me even if I didn't have the full background to it.

I loved Swindle's arsenal of weapons too. The arm cannon is great, it's like he wishes he was Megatron.
I wonder how his toy will turn out. If it's as well armed as he was in this episode I'll definitely be keen to buy it!

The episode sucked, ALOT!!!

The Benifactor, even if the toy came with all thpse awesome weapons, the head would still ruin it, so most likely since it won't be that geared up, I'm saying pass.

Oh, and leave The Vok out of this crap, I'm sure they aren't happy about that!

It was indeed Fred Willard giving Swindle his voice, according to IMDb! A great choice for that character....so fitting!

No, Blackarachnia was the first BW reference as she is an organic-tech spider TF.

The head was as G1 as they will probably get! At least they are starting to come down from big chins. I personaly am loving these re-invented chars. Soundwave, Wreck-Gar, and now Swindle are going to rob my money if their toys are just like their counterparts.

Oh, and is it just me, or was Slomo's story as to how she cured Nano-Sec seem implausible as her shard only shuts down machines and not reverse time or reverse what machines are supposed to do?

Frankly, I hope they leave the Vag out too

I'm still woefully behind on being caught up with watching eps, but I couldn't resist watching a few bits of this one for a peek at Swindle. And I thought he was awesomely hilarious... especially the whole car salesman/informercial bit to Megatron. "I could spring a leak, I'm so excited!" I'm hoping he comes back, too.

Slo-Mo was hot

I thought it was James Wood for awhile. But he does sound like Grim Adventure's Boogeyman.

Thunderscream wrote:I thought it was James Wood for awhile. But he does sound like Grim Adventure's Boogeyman.

Hey, you're right! Grim's boogeyman does talk similar to TFA Swindle.

If James Woods voiced on Transformers Animated, which voiceless character would you like for him to voice?

I was a little put off by the very human heavy first half, and slo-mo makes me want to travel back in time and kill whoever started talking like that.

Swindle totally made up for it though.

Season 3 is looking more and more of a happening thing.

Bumblebee was a total jerk the whole episode. Whatever happened to the whole, "setting a better example for Sari" bit? Then Prowl admonises him, as if Prowl is the one to talk...

So I watched the episode between dry heaving from the SUV squishes and cringing as "SlowMo" threw herself at NanoSec.

I really enjoyed Swindle. I also enjoyed hearing Megatron say "scruples" and tell Swindle he would sell his own mother board.

Can I sig-quote that?

Is it just me, or is the show having some issue with credits lately? Last week, David Kaye was credited for Lugnut, but Lugnut had no lines. This week, Fanzone wasn't credited though he did have a few lines at the end of the episode.
