Once they learned the All Spark was destroyed, they decided Optimus should be charged with high treason, unless he could prove the Decepticons had been on Earth. When technology began to run out of control, Jazz joined the efforts to protect the Earth, and a piece of the All Spark was found proving Optimus' story.

http://a234.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/114/m_51cb28b82278f83146ac9a13f0030e29.jpg The Headmaster has seen that new Autobots are on Earth and decides some of them might be gullible. He decides to target Sentinel Prime, and it forces Optimus and Sentinel to put aside their past.

Meet your Autobots:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/optimus-prime/optimus-prime-preview.jpg Optimus Prime: Optimus is the leader of the Autobots that have crashed on Earth. He attended the Autobot academy, but Ultra Magnus made him leader of a salvaging team since he believes Optimus isn't programmed to be a hero.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bumblebee/bumblebee-preview.jpg Bumblebee: Bumblebee may be a young bot, but he has speed and is willing to serve. He worries about having never been programmed for actual battles, but he believes his speed will allow him to overcome any obstacle.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bulkhead/bulkhead-preview.jpg Bulkhead: Bulkhead is strong and ready to bust through must challenges with his strength, but he tends to get stuck on the simplest tasks from being too overaggressive. When he tries to adapt others strategies though, he finds he isn't of much use, so crushing everything in his path seems to be the way to go. Many people like to compare Bulkhead to Thing from Fantastic Four.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/ratchet/ratchet-preview.jpg Ratchet: Ratchet is a veteran from the previous war, and he's always ready to assist his friends when they are in danger. He has great repair capabilities, but he is also known as being senile.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/prowl/prowl-preview.jpg Prowl: Prowl is silent, but he is also deadly. He usually strikes without any warning. Prowl carefully watches everyone on Earth and is trying to adapt their most deadly skills, even if it's being as silent as a cat.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/ultra-magnus/ultra-magnus-preview.jpg Ultra Magnus: Magnus is the lader of all the Autobots. He was involved during the fight of the original Autobot/ Decepticon war and now decides who will lead the Autobots. Currently he believes Prime and company are out of commission, but the knowledge of the AllSpark's location could very well lead him to dispatch additional allies.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/sentinel-prime/sentinel-prime-preview.jpg Sentinel Prime: Sentinel and Optimus are old buddies from the Autobot academy, but Sentinel was granted a higher leadership position in the Elite Cybertron Guard. His past with Optimus always causes him to ridicule him, but he also respects the skills Optimus shows toward others.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/jazz/jazz-preview.jpg Jazz: This Autobot not only has a cool sleek car design, but he trained at the same ninja bot academy as Prowl. While Prowl's ninja skills still need some improvement, Jazz has advanced to the next level, making him one of the top bots in the Elite Guard and in persona.

The Decepticons that are hiding:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/megatron/megatron-preview.jpg Megatron: This Decepticon leader has been watching the Autobots heroics as a head, but now the AllSpark has restored his body. He's ready to test his new powers against the Autobots and Starscream, but will he succeed at destorying all his enemies?

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/blitzwing/blitzwing-preview.jpg Blitzwing: Blitzwin's multi-personalities make him highly unpredictable. As a result, Megatron isn't sure he can trust him, but Blitzwing was the first Decepticon to put bounties on the heads of the Autobots and learn they were located on earth.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/lugnut/lugnut-preview.jpg Lugnut: This Decepticon may have a few lose bolts in his head, but he is highly loyal to Megatron. As a result, Megatron tries to give him locations to his whereabouts so he can be freed.

And, of course, the humans.
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/sari-sumdac/sari-sumdac-preview.jpg Sari Sumdac: Sari Sumdac is a young girl armed with a key powered by the All Spark. She's decided to help the Autobots train to become heroes. After her father's disappearance, Sari inherits the company for a short time, but a shocking revelation is about to change her life forever.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/isaac-sumdac/isaac-sumdac-preview.jpg Isaac Sumdac: Isaac Sumdac is the creator of Detroit's robot empire, but he has stolen technology from Megatron to do so. He assists the Autobots when he can in secret, but Megatron has kidnapped him for his knowledge in reverse engineering.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/captain-fanzone/captain-fanzone-preview.jpg Captain Fanzone: Captain Fanzone is the chief of Detroit's police, but he isn't a fan of robots. He questions what the Autobots true intents are, but he also recognizes they can help him when the situation calls for it.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/porter-c-powell/porter-c-powell-preview.jpg Porter C. Powell: After Issac's disappearance, Powell did some research and revealed that Sari Sumdac doesn't exist in any records. Using this research he took over Sumdac Corporation and is now doing everything he can to keep it prosperous while avoiding looking for the true leader.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/headmaster/headmaster-preview.jpg Henry Masterson (Aka- Headmaster): This former Sumdac employee created units for the military. These units can take control of the Autobots if they lose their heads. His feud with Isaac has caused him to hate the Autobots, so he targets them whenever he can.

[kid rabbit]

sentinel is optimus starscream I love their back and forths
and it was actully heart warming autobots adpoting Sari in a way
that actully a cut above the other human sidekicks

[HEATXZ]

I like the part when Optimus Prime kick Sentinel's head XD

[ShadowGUN]

I like the part when Optimus Prime kick Sentinel's head XD

I love the part when Optimus laugh at Sentinel for losing his body :D .

[creativerealms]

The whole situation with Optimus and how he was dealing with Sentinel just being a head was great. Optimus was really enjoying himself.

[tb4000]

Sentinel Prime is a good guy, but his opinions on humans is basically the same as Megatron's.

[Movie06]

I think Sentinel literally loosing his head was just his comuppance. But even after that, he's still the arrogant jerk.

Anyway, hilarious episode, I loved it.

[Juu-kuchi]

I think Sentinel literally loosing his head was just his comuppance. But even after that, he's still the arrogant jerk. Still, it was nice to at least make some progress in his reconciliation with Optimus.

I'm hoping however to see that Powell guy get his comeuppance.

[Ditto]

are the 3 new guys going to be new members of the cast?

[Movie06]

Still, it was nice to at least make some progress in his reconciliation with Optimus.

That's true, he's slowly but learning to be a better teammate.


I'm hoping however to see that Powell guy get his comeuppance.

He might by the end of Season 2. I might Cap. Fanzone did say "I'm on to ya."

[Juu-kuchi]

He might by the end of Season 2. I might Cap. Fanzone did say "I'm on to ya." Then of course, there's always the chance that he'll conspire with the Decepticons, and for some reason may become a unwilling pawn in Megatron's master plan. Kindof like that mad scientist guy in the original Transformers who tried to get away (or was it rebel) and ends up having some of his body parts replaced with robotics.

That could happen.

[Meson]

Interesting developments. We're still no closer to understanding Sari. Though this is not surprising. Neither is the corporate greed.

[Radical]

Awesome episode today,

That buttwipe Sentinel totally gets his bashing with him being a head with Headmaster stealing his body which is hilarious:D which he deserved all of this while Optimus is enjoying it & even his laugh at Sentinel's head was hilarious as well.

Since that jerk Powell is gonna become a major villain, I agree with Juu-kuchi that he'll join with the Decepticons only to be used as a pawn by Megatron, but he's a mega monster having to throw out Sari and hire the wackjob Headmaster which he's more insane than all Transformers villains combined, but it's gonna be good when he gets his just desserts like Sentinel.

It was nice when Capt.Fanzone is so hating the jerk Sentinel of his stupid arrogance.

I'm still wondering about Sari's dark secret:confused: which we'll find out soon which Bulkhead & Bumblebee's guesses were funny.

Further on, I have a hunch that Meltdown will join with Powell & Headmaster since Headmaster didn't got arrested.

[Kenny E. McCall]

This whole series is beginning to be one sweet ride into the future of the Transformers franchise. I think the writers are starting to craft a lot of good stories, and are taking their time with them.

Out of all of the Transformers series ever produced, I think this is the freshest take on a long standing series franchise in years (Since G1 and next to Beast Wars).

You know what would freak people out if they ever should extend Transformers Animated into a third season, if they could craft a story where Sari and the Autobots meet a young teenage girl with pink hair named Jerrica at a high school talent show, and she had a guitar that was infused with a piece of the Allspark, and it become a female Transformer named Synergy, whom the Decepticons want to possess because she possess a secret power that is key to their victory over the Autobots.

The question is, would anybody like to see that?

[Juu-kuchi]

All this human villian team-ups leave me to shudder somewhat, especially if it means we have to see the Angry Archer and Professor Princess again.

[bigddan11]

Headmaster being called a Miss and moving into a pink room basically shows how much Masterson's mind is warped. It was pretty funny seeing Optimus slowly dismantle Sentinel so he could defeat Masterson's Headmaster, and I'm glad he didn't get away this time. I wonder exactly what Powell did to clear his record though.

I think we can probably all agree that Sentinel's speech was probably the least motivational speech of all tme, but at least we got to see a funny reaction when he had to shake the mayor's hand. I also would have loved for Sentinel to get his just desert's at the end when he was meeting with Magnus. Prime has to do foolish things some times, I guess.

[jlaking]

are the 3 new guys going to be new members of the cast?

They leave earth at the end of the next episode to help fight the Decepticons that are in space.

[warnerbroman]

All this human villian team-ups leave me to shudder somewhat, especially if it means we have to see the Angry Archer and Professor Princess again.if they get an upgrade it would be ok with me

[Manhunter]

Then of course, there's always the chance that he'll conspire with the Decepticons, and for some reason may become a unwilling pawn in Megatron's master plan. Kindof like that mad scientist guy in the original Transformers who tried to get away (or was it rebel) and ends up having some of his body parts replaced with robotics.

Ah, yes, Dr. Arkeville (I still have "The Ultimate Doom" on VHS). Or Powell could wind up like Sean Burger.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

The last new cartoon I heard Townsand Coleman (aka The Tick and Michelangelo) voice in was a random episode of Totally Spies. Great to hear him again and he was quite entertaining in this pompus jerk role. I heard just a hint of The Tick in there despite the notably different personality Sentinal has to The Tick.
