Talk:A Fistful of Energon

[1] Someone in the Middle East has already seen it, and has provided a summary. --Hunter-113 20:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

First Canada, now the Middle East? One must wonder if Cartoon Network hates us...-- SFH 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Apparently they're getting new episodes daily --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)!--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.--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? 220.237.141.213 08:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Orange Starscream

He really doesn't look all that orange to me.--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) - 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. 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 - SanityOrMadness 14:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Clearly brown? That's brick red, if anything.--Carrion 16:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

He looks more like he's supposed to be emulating Thrust (G1) to me.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"?--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 - 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. - SanityOrMadness 22:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, G2 Starscream is bright white, light salmon and light gray. --M Sipher 22:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I honestly think he looks more like Sunstorm than Starscream, but that's just my opinion.--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. - 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...

five or six

The theme park is called five banners roller coaster kingdom but the trivia section says six. --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. - 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 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.30.33.67 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Nooo, that's not what he meant. He meant, "Breaking in here was very brave but somewhat stupid." JW 13:02, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Translated into human, Lockdown is saying "You've got some balls, breaking into here." The balls aren't breaking. The balls are what you have, and what they are doing is allowing you to do stupid things. --ItsWalky 15:09, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

"The balls are what you have, and what they are doing is allowing you to do stupid things." That's a very succinct description of typical male behavior. --Khajidha 15:15, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Bulkhead drinking oil

I've just read in the section "Continuity notes" that "It seems that since the events of the last episode Bulkhead has grown a taste for oil [...]."

Perhaps that's not really correct, because Bulkhead can be seen drinking oil from a can way before he met with the Constructicons for the first time. I'm referring to a scene at the beginning of the episode "Total Meltdown", where he and the others are gathered in front of the TV, watching a wrestling show. --Sharky857 12:41, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
