Talk:Nemesis Prime (episode)

Extending protection period

Is there any chance we can delay unprotection for a week after it airs so we can avoid the inevitable glut of anons adding dumb crap? —Interrobang 20:45, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

I second that. -- Spydersix 18:05, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

I disagree! Not all anon contributions are bad, and the Crossfire page would be a lot barer without them. Also, we're a wiki "that anyone can edit or add to" according to our own main page. --abates 18:38, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

Trivia Change (spoiler warning)

"No Decepticons appear in this episode"

What do you call Breakdown's body, then?

Whoops, forgot about that. -- Spydersix 21:23, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

Technically he's not a Decepticon any more! --abates 01:36, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

That is true.... -- Spydersix 09:07, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

How about: "No living Decepticons appear in this episode"? -- Spydersix 09:39, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Scrapheap had no Decepticons last season. How is the abscence of any Decepticon's noteworthy when it's happened before? 76.186.105.81 17:36, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Military base

Can someone with the closed captions available grab the name of the military base Nemesis attacks partway through? --abates 04:01, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Yup. Alden Military Base. TheMZone 10:47, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Physics much?

Um hey guys, I think the writers of Transformers prime ignored the forces of physics in this episode. When Fowlers car dropped and Bulkhead jumped after it, Bulkhead hit the ground first and caught the sedan with a wait period of about 1 minute or so from jump to landing. Now my father is an astro physicist for NASA and i spoke to him about this (even showed him the episode) and he said that all physical dynamics was thrown out the window. Objects dropped at different times will land at different times. Meaning Fowlers car should have landed first regardless of how heavy Bulkhead is. This is because weight doesn't affect the acceleration of an object being dropped. Like the feather and the bowling ball, if dropped at the same time, will land at the same time. The only way that scenario can change is if you factor in the variable of wind resistance, and in the case of the feather and the bowling ball, then yes, the feather would experience more wind resistance and fall after the bowling ball, which would experience less. This is because of mass, and the shape of the object. (I.E is it aerodynamic or not?) However both Fowlers car and the obviously bulky Blulkhead both have obscured non-aerodynamic shapes and great mass (Bulkhead having slightly more mass) their wind resistance would be close to absolutely similar. My father (the astrophysicist) having seen the episode and Bulkheads size versus the car still believed that their wind resistance would be very similar and have little affect on the outcome of the fall. (Like seeing a Simi versus a Sedan fall out of a plane, the Sedan would still land first, therefor so should Fowlers car.) The fact that Bulkhead landed first with ENOUGH TIME to catch Fowlers sedan is just... impossible.

Can we add something about this phenomenon under the technical errors tab? --Arcee-Cola 1:20, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes, that sequence totally ignored the laws of physics, no question. --abates 04:46, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, glad I and my physics-minded father could help out. You know, maybe if Bulkhead had some serious alien tech-like gravity boots or due-ex-machina whathaveyou, then maybe, maaaaybe, the ridiculousness could obscure the obvious middle finger to illimitable laws of physics. Take that Sir Isaac Newton! --Arcee-Cola 2:15, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Knockoff

It is the second time a cartoon character mentions one's clone is a knockoff, the first time was Megatron saying that starscream was hiding behind an army of cheap knockoffs. Should we add that ? SnipinScientist 8 April 2012

No. —Interrobang 11:54, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Fowler's Plate Number

Should it be mentioned that Fowler's plate is the same(RPI-437) as June Darby's? I know its probably because of model reuse, but it may be worth mentioning. -KodanDude
