Whow, where to begin. This series just continue to surprise me!

Soundwave, whow. Given the episode synopsis I thought we wouldn't see him in this episode, but seeing that Sari's toy was indeed Soundwave was just... wow
And speaking of our fancy old walkman, wow! Perfect G1 homage in voice and behavior! And the new look is just sweet!

Best episode after the pilot IMO! Best SOundwave since G1 (not that there's been that many )

So, dicuss away, but remember that "Machines are superior"

i was thinking about Soundwave, when i did see the title of this episode. but still, it was a surprice to see him.. the alt mode was superior, but the robot mode.. meh.. i live..
the end was good.. there, in the middle of the junk, parts and sort of.. was laying little inocent looking object..

Lots of references to previous shows in this episode. Daniel Witwicky showed up again, in more than just a cameo; Kremzeek was shown on the standby sign when the television broadcast was interrupted, and I suspect than the news reporter may have been Hector Ramirez, who turned up in Jemm, Inhumanoids and G.I. Joe back in the 1980's. He never made it into Transformers back then, but perhaps that "oversight" was corrected here.
I also thought Soundwave's tune sounded quite a bit like one of those tunes from the 1980's Transformers show, but I'm not sure about that.


People were annoyed with the Angry Archer when he showed up in an early episode. What then do they think of the human super-villain in this episode? "Professor Princess", I think she called herself. I like the craziness of Transformers: Animated, but even then I have to admit that it was quite a bit over the top - it's not possible to justify her existence in the TF universe with any other argument than that it's c-c-crrrazy!! Not that I really mind, but there mustn't be too many more oddballs like this one.

Other than that, it was a good episode.

What I remembered so did Hector Ramirez appear in one episode of Tramsformers.

I hopes too that there won't be any more crazy human villains (but Bulkheads expression was funny when he first saw her, like "Who is that stupid brat?").

Lamest human villain ever....
She looks like Nanosecs kid btw.
Now moving on...
Soundwave is one of my favorite charakters from G1.
And i hope he returns in another episode soon.
I loved the episode btw. (exept the little girl on the unicorn.)

I don't agree. It depends on what instance you're thinking of, of course, but if it is the one listed on various websites, that Hector shows up in Prime Target, then that claim is false, in my opinion.

The Transformers Archive has pictures of Hector from all four shows, but while his looks are different from one show to another, the first three are clearly hispanic whereas the Prime Target newsreader is a typical caucasian. The first three have black hair and thin moustaches, while the fourth has brown hair and a thick, bushy moustache.

The most important difference however is that the first three were named journalists, while the fourth is an unnamed newsreader. The first three were always voiced by Neil Ross, while the fourth was voiced by (both) Frank Welker and John Stephenson (possibly due to script confusion). Theoretically the change could be due to Neil Ross not being called in for this episode (he doesn't do any other voices in Prime Target), but it's too little to base any evidence on.

That awful "Transformers Wiki" states that "Buzz Dixon claimed in an interview to have included Ramirez in a Transformers script, and 'Prime Target' is the only episode that fits the bill" (Prime Target is one of two episodes that Buzz Dixon wrote, the other is Carnage in C-Minor), and provides a link to said Dixon interview. But if you bother to actually read the interview, which the morons at the "Transformers Wiki" doesn't seem to have done, you see that Dixon says that he thinks "Flint Dille asked if he could use him in either a Joe or Transformers script, and after that many other writers used him whenever we needed a talking head in an episode". Dixon never says that he used Ramirez in Transformers himself (this is actually a strong indication against it being Hector in Prime Target), he's not certain that Dille asked it, and it wasn't necessarily even a Transformers episode!

Both the "Transformers Wiki" and the Transformers Archive articles also refer to a fact booklet released with Pioneer's Transformers 2010 DVD box set, written by Hirofumi Ichikawa, which identifies the Prime Target character as Hector Ramirez. Hirofumi Ichikawa? Big f-ing deal! That is not proof. Nothing against Ichikawa, but he's a Transformers fan who's managed to rise to a position where he's got to write bios and stuff for Takara. This is no more evidence for anything in the original series than my articles for the Armada comic book back in 2003. Ichikawa is a Transformers fan, I am a Transformers fan, neither of us had anything to do with the original Transformers show.

The "Transformers Wiki" and Transformers Archive need to present better evidence than that.

I wonder if that last sequence was a call to arms for the rest of the Decepticons..

the little GIRL ROCKED , nah j/k .

Overall I like this show and the Soundwave was amazing. But Im still waiting for how long untill Megatron gets his body

Oh wow, what WAS up with the My Little Pony girl 8D?
This episode was fun, I enjoyed the last one a bit more but but. The thing I reacted on was how talk active Soundwave was haha. And Kreeemzeeeeek made me laugh by the computer, haha. So funny =) Bulkhead's character is growing really strong. I thought I'd like his character less than the other bots but I'm positively proved otherwise.
