The Autobots must temporarily halt their search, for they have come across the ruins of the Atlantis, and one question is torturing them all: where are Bud and the Mini-cons?

Meet the characters:
Autobot forces:

Optimus Prime:
Optimus Prime is a leader in the best sense of the word, taking point on every mission and never sending his team into any situation he wouldn't go himself. Dedicated to the protection of all life and the preservation of freedom for all sentient beings, he serves as a role model for his fellow Autobots. It is through his keen intelligence, even hand, steady nerves and endless compassion that the Autobots sontinue to frustrate de Decepticons evil plans again and again. In a desperate race against time, Optimus Prime has been forced to send teams of his best soldiers into unknown parts of the Universe in search of the lost planet keys, ancient artifacts with the power to save Cybertron and the rest of the Universe from the giant black hole formed from the implosion of Unicron.

Jetfire:
He is sincere & is a vice-commander whose reliance is also thick. He is also a realist who can clearly advocate objections from a clear point of view to make difficult judgments & simultaneously manages the given command exactly when it is given. At the time of the Earth migration, he proposed disguising himself so not to disturb the Earth governments.

Hot Shot:
A natural leader with a lot yet to learn, Hot Shot often races straight into danger at top speed. He takes great pride in the fact that he's the fastest Autobot there is, but it isn't until he gets to the Speed Planet that he learns the true meaning of velocity. Faced by the almost unbeatable Override, Hot Shot needs to learn a whole new way of thinking about acceleration before he can win the Great Race.

Landmine:
With a wisdom born of experience, and a tactical knowledge unmatched among the Autobot ranks, Landmine is a soldier other 'bots follow without reservation. He suffered heavy injuries in the final fight with Unicron. After a crash-landing on Earth, he was repaired by the new human allies of the Autobots. An excellent battlefield commander, he's determined to prevent the Decepticons from gaining an edge by recovering the Earth Cyber Planet Key.

Overhaul/ Leobreaker:
One tough Autobot, Overhaul has never thought much of intellectual pursuits. His solution to a complex problem is generally to stomp on it until it gets simple or stops being a problem. He's never felt that he's had the respect his strenght deserves from the other Autobots, but now that he's on the Jungle Planet - where might makes right - he feels right at home. Override eventually taps into the Jungle Planet key and is reformatted into Loebreaker, a mighty lion Transformer. With his new form, he can link with Optimus and form the mighty savage claw mode.

Scattorshot:
Probably the most neurotic Autobot ever created, Scattorshot always gets the job done. As the right hand 'bot to Jetfire in protecting Earth, he worries so much about messing up in front of his legendary commander that he sets a nearly impossible standard for himself. Despite his nervous clumsiness, he somehow never seems to fail, but his good luck just serves as proof to him that somewhere in the universe is a huge stone of bad karma just waiting for the right moment to come crashing down on him.

Vector Prime:
Vector Prime is one of the first Transformers. A powerful, wise and incredibly ancient warrior, he has served as protector over Cybertron since its beginnings. Pulled out of the shadows of time by a distress signal broadcast by his damaged planet, he arrives too late to save Cybertron without assistance. Arising from an era in which all Transformers lived in harmony, he is unaware of the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons, a fact that Megatron uses to trick him and steal the map to the lost planets and the planet keys. Realizing his mistake, he joins Optimus Prime and pledges his knowledge and skill to the desperate quest to retrieve the planet keys before Megatron.

Override:
Long-time champion and leader of the Speed Planet, Override is always ready for a race. Acceleration is her only ideal, but she respects anyone with the guts to challenge her. She's faced and beaten thousands of upstart speedsters in her time. At first she's suspicious of the intentions Hot Shot and th Autobots have for her world's Cyber Planet Key, but once she realizes what's at stake she's only too glad to help.

The Minicons Jolt, Six Speed and Reverb:
Small Transformers with many mysteries accompanying Vector Prime. They are full of curiosity and enjoy interaction with the children. Their information of Earth is promptly absorbed through the INTERNET.

Snarl:
This wolf bot joined the Autobot forces on Jungle Planet where he helped Override sift through the elements. He was accused of being a traitor by Scourge, but Leobreaker refused to let him die allowing Snarl to join the Autobots. His wolf form gives him great speed against his enemies, and his pride make him a willing servant to all the Autobots.

Evac:
This Autobot has assisted Crosswise at guarding the cyber planet key, but he was also the one who remembered the stories of Cybertron. When he discovered the Autobots were from Cybertron and fighting to save the galaxy, he quickly signed up and became their new eye in the sky with propeller power.


Wing Saber:
Regarded as one of the great Autobot warriors, but Wing Saber also has a nasty problem with his temper. There's nothing to fear when he's around though, for Wing Saber can combine with Optimus to form the powerful Sonic Wing mode.

Decepticon Forces:

Megatron/ Galvatron:
For millions of years, Megatron has lead fanatical legions of evil Decepticons on their war for conquest of the Universe. A living weapon with dozens of self-inflicted modifications made in the name of increased power and destructive capability, his only weakness is his single-minded desire for the enslavement of the Universe. His intellect, ego and talent for deception are second to none, and he rules his Decepticons with an iron-fisted combination of fear and force of personality. Driven by a nearly insane lust for power, Megatron managed not only to survive the catastrophic implosion of Unicron, but also to absorb much of his power. Now, wearing salvaged pieces of the ancient destroyer's armor, Megatron is awesomely powerful, and is determined to beat Optimus Prime and the Autobots to the lost planet keys at all costs, even if it means he must change his form and design to something more powerful than anyone could imagine, and it could result in a whole new leader of terror.

Starscream:
Unsurpassed in ego or ambition, Starscream is the scheming second-in-command to Megatron. With his mastery of the sword, null-ray cannons that can disrupt the functioning of even the most hardened Autobot and a vast array of secondary weapons, Starscream is second only to Megatron and Optimus Prime in power. His speed is uncanny, oftne giving slower 'bots the impression that he actually teleports around the battlefield. Left stranded on Earth to battle Jetfire - the only Autobot warrior capable of even coming close to matching Starscream for speed or skill in aerial combat. Starscream has now set out on his own though, and with Sideways, he desires to take all the power for himself and eventually rule the entire world.

Thundercracker:
This loyal Decepticon works under the command of Starscream for the recovery of the Planet Key on Earth. Thundercracker believes that the most effective way to defeat an enemy is to terrorize and demoralize him before attacking. The mere sound of his focused sonic booms - audible for more than 200 miles - is enought to frighten many other Transformers.

Crumplezone:
Trusting but dumb, Crumplezone is often drawn into serving as the muscle to back up the paranoid plotting of his partner Ransack. Huge, powerful and superfast, Crumplezone is sometimes surprised by sudden turns. Not that it matters - he's the biggest guy on the Speed Planet, and crashing straight ahead through whatever gets in his way is his specialty. Twin-turbine ramjets can propel him at nearly the speed of sound, and selective thrust reversal allows him to fire hypersonic, high-explosive slugs nearly 12 miles.

Ransack:
Skittish and suspicious, Ransack is a loudmouth bully, always ready to intimidate others into giving him what he wants, but only when his big partner Crumplezone is around. With the energy of the Speed Planet flowing through his circuitry, everything about him is fast - sometimes too fast. Unable to stop thinking or moving, his hyperactive mind tends to draw connections between unconnected things, and sees conspiracy everywhere.

Scourge:
Scourge is the brutal and awesomely powerful ruler of the Jungle Planet. He views any display of kindness, compassion or generosity as weakness, and he hates weakness. Cold, distant, and prone to violent rage against those he views as lesser creatures, he holds most of the Jungle Planet firmly in his transmetal claw. Those defying him are likely to experience the searing heat of his stellar plasma breath, or the bite of his axe as their final sensation before their spark is extinguished. Overhaul, Snarl, and the Jungle Planet rebels will find him to be the most powerful foe they have ever faced.

Sideways:
This Transformer claims to be a spy for the Autobots, but he has joined Starscream at trying to overthrow Megatron's regimine and is watching side-by-side with Starscream. He has the ability to shift the logo on his outfit as well as the ability to warp anywhere he chooses. With Starscream at his side, he could soon become the most sneaky ruler of them all, but does he have other hidden ambitions?

Thunderblast:
This female Decepticon was one of the "mosters" that was trapped by Crosswise. When she was freed she began to play around and took on the form of a speed boat. Now Thunderblast has joined Megatron and his cronies, but unlike the others she always looks out for his brains and her bod. Just don't get on her bad side, or you'll have cruise missles headed your way, adn you can be sure that her, Lori, and Override will soon have a rivalry to make anyone laugh.

Humans:

Coby:
A proud 14 year old boy who is proficient in repairs and reconstruction of mechanisms. Under the influence of his father who was a racer, motor crossing has become his hobby. He is vigorous and a cheerful character, but in secret, he worries about the comparison with the excellent records of his older brother and has thoughts of wanting to be accepted/recognized by his father is strongly above necessity.

Brad:
He is the 11 year old younger brother of Coby. He loves to watch "B" movies of Sci-Fi, Kung Fu and crime, and imitates them well. Although his wild way of thinking is shocking, it invites humor, which occasionally has even saved him in time of crisis. His communication with the Mini-Cons is possible without intentionally knowing why.

Lori:
This 14 year old city girl is taken to the country by her parents who have a taste for the outdoors. Although it is a harsh place, she stubbornly continues her city lifestyle. She cannot adhere to phenomenon that much, but her different sense of values can be accepted.

Primus OWNED Starscream.

It was great to see Primus kicking butt again. I never suspected that the moons were his weapons. Great episode. As for the talkback pic bigdan11, I like the one with the TOO GOOD FOR TOONAMI pic

To me, the highlight of ths weeks episode was the arrival of Soundwave.

Soundwave is cool, but this episode and tomorrow's are fairly boring. Once we hit episode 39 the series gets great again.

Tommorow's episode is kind of cool, as the Autobots meet the Transformers on Gigantion, and we see Megatron and Nemesis Breaker combine for the last time. this episode would be dull today if it weren't for the starship blasts from Starscream, but I can't help but laugh whenever I see that Jetfire shot scene.

Todays was slightly boring.

It's always good whenever the Autobots and Decepticons fight it out, but I've always been disappointed in the quick destruction of Nemesis Breaker. Sure, it opens the way for Megatron to become Galvatron tommorow, but we only had him for less than a week. I do love the Gigantion Transformers thouh. There humor will soon rule the day, as well as the intense battle which will soon take place.

Where's Devestater when you need him.

Damn Galvatron kicks everyone's ass plus he has a fan girl who's crazy for him lol.

Luckily Otpimus Prime gained the ability to hold Metroplex's ax, because they would have been destroyed otherwise. It's a shame this is really the only spotlight Galvatron gets. Sure, he appears in the rest of the episodes, but he's not the spotlight from here on out.

Sweet. Coby has his very own Transformer( the Coby Bot). So Sideways and Soundwave are working together. Interesting very interesting. Wonder who they are working for? Crumblezone and Ransack were funny as always.

8/10

That'll be answered next week, but if you care to know, remember when Metroplex asked Optimus and company if they were from Planet X. Well, Sideways and Soundwave are the last two survivors from Planet X. They want the power of the cyber planet keys and the Omega Lock so they can restore their race back from the black hole that absorbed them all.

When I watched this episode online, I didn't realize that Coby had rescued Bud and the Minicons from the Atlantis, but that's probably because it wouldn't play the first half of the episode for me, so I was laughing at Optimus' suggestions to Coby. I can't help but feel sorry for Ransack and Crumplezone though. They just got owned by a human, and next week won't be any better for them.

For those that do visit, since so few people appear to be commenting on the new episodes, do you think I should continue with the weekly talkbacks, or do you think I should just do one tlkback for the rest of the series? Only 11 episodes remain, and that's if they actually air Inferno (like I'm hoping they will).

I would make one a week for the rest of the series. There're only three weeks left and all.

And not having seen much of Cybertron, why wouldn't they air Inferno? Objectionable content?

Ransack and Crumblezone remind me of Team Rocket.

Actually it's 2 weeks and a day, and as for why they wouldn't air Inferno, it is actually epsode 2 and makes no sense at the end of the series, but I'm hoping they air it solely because they should air all the episodes.

They probably will air Inferno. If not after episode 51, then perhaps during the restart of the cycle, but add Inferno as episode 2 this time. However, doesn't Inferno screw continuity?

Oh, and by the way. Please keep the weekly talkbacks. This show deserves it.

Inferno is just a redub of the entire second episode without having anything cut out and combined with episode 1.
