Someone in the Middle East has already seen it, and has provided a summary.
--[[User:Hunter-113|Hunter-113]] 20:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:First Canada, now the Middle East? One must wonder if Cartoon Network hates us...-- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::Apparently they're getting new episodes ''daily'' --[[User:Hunter-113|Hunter-113]] 01:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

== Clone Army? ==

Even if they said there will be no clone army, there are clones of Starscream in spoiler pictures! One that is colored like original G1 Starscream, and others are just said to be clones (I guess Skywarp and Thundercracker)!--[[User:IguanaNik|IguanaNik]] 05:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
:As far as I know, when they said that at the panel, the sarcasm was piled a mile high, something that all the reports failed to capture in their retelling of the event.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 05:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

== Inconsistent policy ==

How come we can put little tidbits of info (like the Samurai Sidecar stuff in this one or Swindle in SUV) in future episode articles, but not have had the full force of our self-imposed Dubai blackout come down on the culprits? Did I miss the loophole? [[Special:Contributions/220.237.141.213|220.237.141.213]] 08:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

== Orange Starscream ==
He really doesn't look all that orange to me.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 21:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
:His "red" parts look to be a slightly reddish '''brown''' to me... (With his grey parts also having a slightly brown tint) - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 01:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:The reds are a little more toward the orange/brown side of red, but yeah, not all that orange. To me, though, he certainly seems to closer resemble the Generation 2 colors than generation 1. Generation 1 had a fair bit of blue on it, and was more grey. The white/light grey plus red is pretty much his gen2 recolor. [[User:Gelgameth|Gelgameth]] 04:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Compare him to Optimus (a slightly dark red) and Ratchet (bright red) in this screencap. He's very clearly brown - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 14:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:FistfulEnergon-StarscreamCloneIsBrown.jpg|thumb|250px]]
:'''Clearly''' brown? That's brick red, if anything.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 16:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::He looks more like he's supposed to be emulating [[Thrust (G1)]] to me.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Why don't we drop this untill he gets a name? and why not let it be "brownish-red"?--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 19:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::: Since he got blown to smithereenies at the end , the likelihood of him getting a name can't be high. C'mon tho - [[:Image:Starscream ghost BW.jpg|G1 Screamer is neutral grey, bright red, and bright blue]]. This guy is red-tinted grey, reddish-brown (compare his eyes to his chest) and black. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 22:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Uh, G2 Starscream is bright white, light salmon and light gray. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 22:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:I honestly think he looks more like [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] than Starscream, but that's just my opinion.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 22:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

*''Both altered-color clones use Starscream's original colors as a base, but the deceitful one runs towards "hotter" colors playing up the red and white (a little devilish, perhaps?), while the cowardly one has colors more on the "cold" end, leaning into purple and stony grey.''

Thank you M Sipher. Hopefully the "GEEWUNN HOMAGE!!!" stuff can at least be squashed now. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 22:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Check out the Armada Starscream colors, it leans more towards that.

==Too many pics==

The top of the summary is too cluttered imo [[User:GWolfv2]]

==Main image==

Can we go back to having it as samurai Prowl. I get why you'd use the title image, but I think I prefer the main image giving you some idea of what the episode is about over just getting a name over what could be nothing really relevant (which I've seen in other summaries). Just a thought [[User:Gwolfv2]] 22.59 May 25th
:: I agree, there is no point using the title card for animated as a better shot could be used to represent the episode. i guess the only reason it is used elsewhere is because it is copying the Headmasters, Masterforce and Zone pages but the title cards there show the original language titles over exclusive artwork, that approach is somewhat redundant for the english language shows... [[User:Gspro15198|Gspro15198]] 23:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

==five or six==

The theme park is called ''five'' banners roller coaster kingdom but the trivia section says six. --[[User:Ninjabot33|Ninjabot33]] 04:16, 28 November 2009 (EST)

== what does this title mean? ==

despite what is said in the "Page" about the title and though i have gone through the episode for several times, i am still having very little idea about how this title can be connected with its plots. does this fistful of energon mean the Allspark fragment in S.S.'s possession? could any one give me some idea about this connection? Thank you very much.
:The episode is named after the spaghetti western, "A Fistful of Dollars". In that film, a man plays two rival groups off against each other, through duplicity, for his own personal gain, which is paralleled in this episode by Starscream tricking both the Autobots and Decepticons in order to destroy them all. It's about parodying the plot of the film - there is no literal fistful of money involved. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 04:58, 16 May 2011 (EDT)
Understood. Thank you very much!

== what does Lockdown mean when he says"You got some sparkplugs busting in here, ...." ==

"You got some sparkplugs busting in here, I'll give you that."
Does he mean, in other words, that "I'll have to own the fact that your remark made me(Lockdown) feel excited?"
I'm a little not sure about this "sparkplugs busting"thing. Thank you

60.30.33.67: /* what does Arcee say about the sniper at the artillery depot */

This episode only features three voice actors. Would this be some kind of record? [[Special:Contributions/82.15.246.28|82.15.246.28]] 21:33, 16 April 2011 (EDT)

Does anyone else think a fair bit of this episode was a homage to the Proving Grounds episode of Beast Wars? It centred heavily on Black Arachnia stalking and being stalked by Dinobot through a similar forest setting.
: I don't think Blackarachnia was in this episode. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:23, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
::While I don't think it's necessarily worth mentioning on the page (yet), I got a "Blackarachnia crossed with Maleficent" vibe off her design.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 01:32, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

I'm not saying Black Arachnia was in this episode... Just that this was very similar to the episode featuring her from Beast Wars. --[[Special:Contributions/82.33.98.221|82.33.98.221]] 11:26, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

Personally I question if people understand what a reference is. A similar situation is NOT a reference. For example, Jack hiding under a log is NOT a reference to Lord of the Rings. Also, the slow down fight in Darkness Rising Part IV is NOT a reference to Saving Private Ryan. A reference is an intentional nod towards previously existing stories. "The first rule of robot fight club is you don't talk about robot fight club" IS a reference.

== Arcee and the "spider web" thingy ==

In this episode we see Arcee pinned on a rock wall by Airachnid's "spider web" at least twice. 
The first time she succeeded to free an arm -thanks to her blade- and fire off a shot to her opponent. Why couldn't she do the same thing the second time? 
Should this be mentioned in the section "trivia" as well? [[User:Sharky857|Sharky857]] 14:55, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

==Jacks helmet==

Jacks helmet just kinda… showing up might not be an animation error, per se. Given that she technically doesn't need gas, Arcees "gas tank" may instead be a storage compartment, much like the one on say, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprilia_Mana_850 Aprilia Mana 850], which has enough room for a full face helmet. Of course, this is just pure, rampant speculation from a motorcycle junkie, but it might be worth mentioning. [[User:CelticNinja|CelticNinja]] 22:17, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
:She has two helmets stashed in there somewhere. Sierra used one last episode. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:24, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
::They come from the same place that 80% of her body does when she transforms to robot mode. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:32, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

== what does Arcee say about the sniper at the artillery depot ==

I'm a Chinese fan of tf, and using on line resources have been following the new series. but the lines said by Arcee running in the ruined buildings were lost to me, I can't make them out. so i was wondering if i may get some help from here?
i really appreciate if any one could help me out here. Thank you

:Arcee: "Arcee to Delta Team, requesting coordinates, do you copy?"
:Tailgate: "Arcee, you lost again? Your sense of direction could use some improvement."
:Arcee: "So could your aim, Tailgate. If you'd tagged that sniper back at the artillery depot, I wouldn't have had to break rank and engage the enemy hand-to-hand."
:Tailgate: "From the sound of things, I'm guessing you came out ahead?"
:Arcee: "Try waiting up for me this time, and I'll give you the blow-by-blow. What's your position?"
:Tailgate: "About half a click from the depot, due north. Think you can find it, partner?"
:Arcee: "Trust me, Tailgate. My navigational abilities are--"
