Talk:Attack of the Autobots (episode)

Title image

Presto, change-o. Bigger picture. Too big?--Suzyprime 00:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Continuity errors?

Regarding the two points in the continuity section about the rocket and the cerebro-shells, I really want to delete them. I don't think these are continuity errors. I think they are simply plot devices that writers chose to use. And don't continuity errors refer to the continuity of the episode, not the entire series? Unless someone violently disagrees, I'm going to delete these items.--Suzyprime 05:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with you on the Cerebro-shells. That would have required Bombshell's help, and given the unstable relationship between the Decepticons and the Insecticons, that may be why they would have opted for the evilization. However, the stealing the rocket does raise some questions. I guess it could go in the trivia section. -- SFH 05:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

In the pilot, wasn't the point of building the ship to bring back a big shipment of energon? I forget, I'd have to watch it again. And the point of stealing the rocket in this episode was to steal the satellite attached to the rocket, not just to go back to Cybertron. So, within the context of the stories, the plots make sense. They aren't errors. That's my two cents.--Suzyprime 06:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

No, at the end of the pilot, the ship was built to allow the Autobots to return to Cybertron. Spike was going with them. --ItsWalky 06:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but the entry talks about the Decepticon ship. The point of the Decepticons building a ship was so they could bring a bunch of energon back to Cybertron. Right? So they'd have to build a ship, therefore the "Error" entry doesn't make sense. And, just a finer point, the Autobots were refueling the Ark in order to leave at the end of the pilot. They weren't building a new ship, right?--Suzyprime 13:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Chances are, they filled the fuel tank up to the brim, got ready to fire the engines, and then realized A) that there were enormous holes in their ship where the mountain poked through, and B) they had no way of getting the Ark out of said mountain. -- Dark T Zeratul 11:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Recharging Chambers

Does Skyfire have a super-mondo charger for himself as well? The destabilizer was only applied to the two small ones, but I could understand if it affected Teletraan 1's whole system as well. What do you guys think? 24.21.243.41 00:49, 23 November 2010 (EST)

Jazz Line

Okay, here's an odd one. When I first saw this episode in its initial airings, I could swear Jazz had a different line. When Bluestreak is shooting at him, he originally said "I don't want to hurt you but I'm getting ticked off." I remember it because it was kind of a racy thing to say back then, and in the later rotations I noticed they changed the line to what it currently is. Does anyone else remember this, or did I imagine it. Riddlerj 19:59, 8 August 2012 (EDT)

Brawn Vs Soundwave Round 3

Why is this episode chalked up as a victory to Brawn in his continuing epic rivalry with Soundwave? He makes a running charge at Soundwave once, which Soundwave easily evades by flying off, clearly with the upper hand as Brawn is left calling after him. That seems like a Soundwave victory to me, a draw at best. Danja 15:49, 13 February 2013 (EST)

Wheeljack?

Wheeljack has a Japanese voice credit for this episode, but doesn't appear in it. What gives? --abates (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2014 (EDT)
