Isn't it more plausable that Knock Out's "Nip and tuck" line was merely a reference to the plastic surgery procedure, and not the show named after it?--Tindalos 11:03, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Yes. Very much so. --ItsWalky 11:13, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Phase Shifter "Error"

Isn't this a "problem" with almost every instance of an individual being able to "phase" through things? Usually, unless they're actively trying to do so, they tend to stay in place/move around as if they had "solid" feet. Magaroja 13:29, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

That and they explicitly said that its "handy when you need to pass through solid objects, or vice versa."--Carrion 14:02, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Conservation of Insecticon-su.

Is it me, or have they changed the power of insecticons -again-? Crossfire - One is almost too much for Megatron, Armada - They go down like flies, Tunnel Vision - One seems not to even -feel- when it gets shot. 125.239.114.28 08:20, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

Well in Crossfire and Armada they were under Airachnid's mind control, so during Armada her attention was divided and could theoretically make the insecticons less effective. Now that they are independent, their effectiveness goes back to what we saw in Orion Pax Part 3. Of course, if another episode later shows multiple insecticons dropping like flies this theory is scrap.--Megabob452 13:20, 7 May 2012 (EDT)
That... is an awesome explanation. So Megatron controls them through loyalty, Airachnid through mind control. Wonder what'll happen if Shockwave ever appears. 222.153.251.249 00:11, 8 May 2012 (EDT)
Here's another thought, a lack of energon. Skyquake seemed to be in some kind of stasis device when he was introduced. Starscream's energon infusion to both appaerntly open the container and reawaken Skyquake. We have no idea how long the Insecticon in Crossfire was out of it's stasis pod, but it was out of the pod when we first see it. In Armada Airachnid releases the Insecticons from their pods before sending them to attack the Nemisis and destroy Megatron. It could be that prolonged duration in stasis weakens a Transformer and they need to get an energon infusion to get back to full strength. That would likely also explain the difference in the Insecticons strength levels between episodes, by Tunnel Vision the Insecticons have finally had a little energon and their up to full strength making them tougher in battle. -annonymous 5/8/2012 12:48 AM EST
That's cool and all, but it's all speculation. --abates 01:33, 8 May 2012 (EDT)
Which is why it's not posted in the actual page. But it is something to watch for in the future. Or even for someone who knows how to get in tough with the right people (which I have no real knowledge of how to do so) to contact and see if their willing to say anything. It may be something worth noting that Skyquake didn't show any signs of weakness (save for not having a alt form) when he came out of his container while the insecticons clearly did. But it's not worth noting any of these theories in the actual pages until we have an offical explination of some kind. - annonymous 5/09/2012
Generally we'd prefer speculation to be kept to message boards and not on here. --ItsWalky 00:16, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

Continuity error?

Uh, just how do Arcee, Bumbleebee, Jack, and Miko get inside the tunnel the relic is in, in a big city with lots of people, without no one noticing?71.162.107.152 15:22, 11 May 2012 (EDT)

When they find the subway, there's what looks like a big dirt ramp on one side which they presumably drove down. --abates 19:18, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
