Transformers Energon Marathon on Toonami April 9th!

[William C. Maune]

Starscream decided to Pickachu out of the Friday slot for a week.

Friday April 9th (All Times Eastern)

5.0 PM - "Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary"
5.5 PM - "Battle of the Astroids Belt"
6.0 PM - "Energon Battle"
6.5 PM - "Pitiful Starscream"

Transform. Roll Out. Only Toonami.

[Chad Bonin]

Are those all new?

[William C. Maune]

I think so, but I haven't been watching.

[Chad Bonin]

I think so, as Starscream had just shown up on Energon before going to reruns. Maybe it'll be called "Starscream's Revenge" or something.

...

So far, Energon has managed to take the deepest character of Armada and make him... un-noteworthy.

[Youko Recca]

Well....my homework will get done earlier than expected.

[Beat]

Starscream day, eh? I know a bunch of fangirls who will be VERY happy with this...

[Chad Bonin]

Starscream in Armada? Best representation of the character.

Starscream in Energon? "Boo! I'm gonna git ya!"

Although, he does come with a Bastard Sword. Much better than his "Hey, my wing is a sword!"

[Beat]

What's with the Screamer and swords? Give me G1 SS with the Null Ray.

[JohnCrichton]

Let me field the voice of pessimism here, by hoping this sticks and that it doesn't get dropped like the Clone Wars marathon did.

me!!!

Starscream in Armada? Best representation of the character.

Starscream in Energon? "Boo! I'm gonna git ya!"

Although, he does come with a Bastard Sword. Much better than his "Hey, my wing is a sword!"

you'll see! with an episode title like Pitiful Starscream you just know he will be getting some developement and maybe go back to his old self!

and the wing sword was cool and handy!

[AlphaPrime]

BOOOOOOOOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!! This better stick!!!!!!! GIMMIE!!!!!!!!!

[Duke]

About friggin time Energon came to Toonami!

I hope that Starscream does get some development. Even G1 SS got some development.

[William C. Maune]

Let me field the voice of pessimism here, by hoping this sticks and that it doesn't get dropped like the Clone Wars marathon did.

This is actually on the official schedule, Clone Wars never got to that point.

[InfinityBlade]

Starscream in Armada? Best representation of the character.

Starscream in Energon? "Boo! I'm gonna git ya!"

You realize, don't you, that they're just gradually introducing him and his purpose to the series. Don't you?

Oh, and only

Spoiler:

two of these episodes (8 and 11) really, primarily focus on Starscream. So it isn't exactly a Screamer marathon. He just bookends it.

[Funkatron]

You realize, don't you, that they're just gradually introducing him and his purpose to the series. Don't you?

Agreed. He's only had one episode. If what I've heard from Superlink is correct, he'll be cool....

Spoiler:

Till he gets the Skorpiinok treatment from megs

[Tien85]

Thank the matrix, William muchos gracias, I may be going to my dads that weekend, but I can make sure these four (BRAND NEW) episodes go on my tape, BOO YA! Thanks 4 the info

[Obi]

Best. Schedule decision. In recent history.

[William C. Maune]

I was wondering how long it would be until Obi saw this. Thought you might like this news!

[Mysteryinfoman]

This is great news, a whole marathon of new energon episodes, great way to spend a friday afternoon. One question, so all the energon on Sat is now re-runs correct and these episodes are new and then will energon be on Toonami beginning April 17th with new or old episodes?

[William C. Maune]

We don't know yet.
