"Decepticon Air" commentary.

And we're back to the wtf territory, albeit not as bad as Five Servos of Doom. Great episode, mind, but still very wtf.

Spoilers, obviously. )

I'm pretty scared for Cybertron now. Optimus and Company better get their asses in gear.

When Sentinal was saying he wasn't going to let the rest of Cybertron know he'd let the Decepticons escape, I was thinking they were going to homage to the movie and the Elite Guard flagship would land on Cybertron full of Decepticons. That guy's got to go.

If I didn't like Jazz and the twins so much, I wouldn't have minded.

Optimus and company are just kinda dicking around on Earth. It's valid dicking around, considering Megatron and (until recently) the other Decepticon major players are at large, but I'm thinking they don't even know what Sentinel Prime is really doing.

You only like characters that are squeaky clean morally? O.o

Then why does anyone like Starscream?

And maybe it's just my Decepticon favoritism (especially Blitzwing)

Ahem.

This is the season of the wtfness. Every time you think you know how things are going to go, Lockdown becomes a ninja or Sentinel Prime tries to take over the Autobots.

I just enjoy the show for what it is, because I don't think the people making the show are really stepping out of line with any of the characters. Sentinel is what he is, and that's not going to really change, except for some evolving traits.

Autobots are flawed. Decepticons take advantage of said flaws.

The end.

I dunno, Prowl backtracking on the mods felt a bit weird. Broken Aesop, that.

Sentinel's got good character evolution, albeit evolution I didn't really see coming, I just don't like him as a person.

Prowl is a very centered mech, and very introverted. He may have finally realized that "It was the ninjabot not the weapon" but he probably also realized he needed an advantage over Lockdown because Lockdown had ninja training too.

He's also learned from Yoketron that he was using those mods and abusing their power, like he did in Fistful of Energon. Now, after Five Servos of Doom, he's using them for the greater good instead of his own thirst. You can tell when he's talking to Jazz that he's found himself. He's not about to go crazy with those mods again. He learned his lesson.

JMHO

I think the problem is mixed messages on how the mods actually work, psychologically speaking. Is there some actual 'high' involved in using them, or was it just Prowl hadn't matured far enough to use them responsibly?

Oh, Swindle! I loved him too. He's so deliciously sleazy. Is it just me or did his colors change to be more toy-accurate?

I got the squirms from the parading of the captured 'cons as well. Icky icky. But at least Lugnut is back with his BFF Megatron now!

And I agree- SP is going off the deep end here, and it's disappointing that nobody is stepping up to stop him. Of course, if OP had put him in his place in the beginning, the story would have been over so...

Now I'm wondering where Femscream is. They're running out of episodes to tie up the loose ends in!

I don't think Optimus could have done much to stop him, I'm just annoyed that he didn't tell him to shut up and stop being a jerk.

Femmescream's probably off having lesbian cuddles with BA or something.
