It's the price you have to pay. Over Easter he called the leader of the maximals Optimus Primus. See, he's so good, he's a god.

Well, at least Optimus hasn't got that stupid mouth guard slit any more...Still, a flying monkey on a hover-board...

So, did ya follow it Monty?

I did see them in fact.

Most amusing to see new-body (ergo new toy) -of -the-season is a tradition still upheld.

Also saw the trailer at the end saying the only regular showings will be on ITV2! Not even available in Scotland anyway.
Grrr. This is what I get for being curious. Harrrumph!

Still, in so far as what I followed. Monty like. Monty want more.

Yeah. The first part of that ep Coming of Fuzors was shown over a month ago.

About the new toy thing. In the first ep of season 2, when NEW Transmetal Megatron is about to shoot NEW Transmetal Cheetor and Rattrap, he says
'New packaging, same product. Loosers'

Which was nice.

And at least the TM modes have obvious improvements. (far cooler beast modes, third vehicle mode) The Transmetal2 forms of season 3 don't seem to be much of an advantage.

Notice all the Generation 1 hints...
The Matrix.
When Rhinox's head was flying through the matrix, the grip pattern was almost identicle to that used when Galvatron was created (it's subspace I think)
'Where have you been?' 'Where...all are one' Nice.
Even 'That's just Prime' for once wasn't cringeworthy.
Although I'm not sure what that was al about when Megatron was skating around his quarters.

When Blacky was throwing the stuff out of Megs lockers (including the rubber-ducky, cute) there was a grey head there, that looked like an original Transformer. ANyone have any idea who it was?

BTW, the golden disks...
One is from the Voyager probe. Megs stole it, and was on the run when the series began.
The other is an alien one. I think Megs got it in season 1.
Dinobot stole them in the previous ep. The maximals apparently don't know that he's got them

You're right about the grey head. Hint: He wanted the rule the Decepticons, he had a really annoying voice, and he is not gay.

Wheelie?

BTW, has it anything to do with the episode 'possession'?

No, you fool. But from your second comment I assume you know the true answer.

And it doesn't have anything to do with that episode, at least not that I know of...

Remember the head, but didn't notice who it belonged to. Whom was it? Starscream?

Yup! (And that should be "Who was it," since who is being used as a predicate nominative.)
