Talk:B.O.T. (episode)

Having watched this episode and agreeing with the "Worst episode ever" part, while also noting that we don't subscribe to the concept of "NPOV"...are we maybe being a little too hard on the episode? -- SFH 06:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Not particularly. Destroying the Moon with a cannon that can apparently only be operated by Bruticus to just flood a canyon is a plan that deserves all the ire it gets. Interrobang 06:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose you have a point, there...okay, just thought I'd bring it up. -- SFH 07:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- You know, it's like Wile E. Coyote, the resources they spend on Crazy Schemes would be better spent on just building a power plant that they can get energy from, without all the 'destruction' that forces the Autobots to intervene. Hell, given they wouldn't be bothering anybody, chances are Prime would just leave them alone. --FFN 12:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- I dunno... Megatron seems incapable of even simple energy-gathering schemes unless they involve the destruction of something. On at least one occasion, a normally benign manner of generating energy was used by Megatron in a fashion that threatened to destroy the Earth. (ex: Fire in the Sky). -- Dark T Zeratul 14:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- We're right. The Giant Purple Griffin was the best he ever did. --FFN 14:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I think Roland and Martin are a reference to Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. MegaBee 21:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Receiving, decrypting...
- The speech synthesizer is "rewired" so that instead of "synthesizing and transmitting," it "receives and decrypts." And this somehow lets the kids listen in on a conversation being held in the Decepticon base. WHAT?!
Especially given the context... does anybody else find this part, at least, not to be mind-blowingly confusing? It's hideously contrived, to be sure, but I'd posit that "receiving and decrypting" isn't too far off from "listening" - close enough, at least, not to warrant that huge exclamation of disbelief at the end.
