Episode 17
"The Elite Guard"
Premieres Saturday at 10:30 AM
Encores Sunday at 11 AM

http://a45.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/119/m_b752dce6895365b35378b2f39d404224.jpg Megatron used a divide and conquer strategy to try and destroy the Autobots. Little did he know that Optimus Prime's weapons would prove effective on his new body, specially when the Sumdac's started helping. Optimus destroyed the All Spark and caused Megatron major damage, so the Decepticon leader kidnapped Issac, and Sari was given back possession of the key.

http://a234.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/114/m_51cb28b82278f83146ac9a13f0030e29.jpg It has been months since Optimus first contacted Cybertron about finding the All Spark. Today they learn that Cybertron has been searching for them ever since. Ultra Magnus arrives with Sentinel Prime and Jazz. What will they do when they learn the All Spark has been destroyed/ dispersed? What will they do when they learn Megatron is back to functioning fully? These answers are about to be revealed.

Meet your Autobots:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/optimus-prime/optimus-prime-preview.jpg Optimus Prime: Optimus is the leader of the Autobots that have crashed on Earth. He attended the Autobot academy, but Ultra Magnus made him leader of a salvaging team since he believes Optimus isn't programmed to be a hero.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bumblebee/bumblebee-preview.jpg Bumblebee: Bumblebee may be a young bot, but he has speed and is willing to serve. He worries about having never been programmed for actual battles, but he believes his speed will allow him to overcome any obstacle.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/bulkhead/bulkhead-preview.jpg Bulkhead: Bulkhead is strong and ready to bust through must challenges with his strength, but he tends to get stuck on the simplest tasks from being too overaggressive. When he tries to adapt others strategies though, he finds he isn't of much use, so crushing everything in his path seems to be the way to go. Many people like to compare Bulkhead to Thing from Fantastic Four.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/ratchet/ratchet-preview.jpg Ratchet: Ratchet is a veteran from the previous war, and he's always ready to assist his friends when they are in danger. He has great repair capabilities, but he is also known as being senile.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/prowl/prowl-preview.jpg Prowl: Prowl is silent, but he is also deadly. He usually strikes without any warning. Prowl carefully watches everyone on Earth and is trying to adapt their most deadly skills, even if it's being as silent as a cat.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/ultra-magnus/ultra-magnus-preview.jpg Ultra Magnus: Magnus is the lader of all the Autobots. He was involved during the fight of the original Autobot/ Decepticon war and now decides who will lead the Autobots. Currently he believes Prime and company are out of commission, but the knowledge of the AllSpark's location could very well lead him to dispatch additional allies.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/sentinel-prime/sentinel-prime-preview.jpg Sentinel Prime: Sentinel and Optimus are old buddies from the Autobot academy, but Sentinel was granted a higher leadership position in the Elite Cybertron Guard. His past with Optimus always causes him to ridicule him, but he also respects the skills Optimus shows toward others.

Jazz: This Autobot not only has a cool sleek car design, but he trained at the same ninja bot academy as Prowl. While Prowl's ninja skills still need some improvement, Jazz has advanced to the next level, making him one of the top bots in the Elite Guard and in persona.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/grimlock/grimlock-preview.jpg Grimlock: This Dinobot may have been created by Megatron, but his earth technology makes it where he isn't as smart as the Cybertronians. He leads the three Dinobots and is ready to protect his planet and island at all costs.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/snarl/snarl-preview.jpg Snarl: his Dinobot may have been created by Sumdac, but currently all he loves doing is destroying everything that opposes him. He has always believed that car robots are bad, but his belief is slowly changing to airplane robots are the worst thing imaginable.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/swoop/swoop-preview.jpg Swoop: This Dinobot warrior is one of the few Autobots that can take to the sky. As a result, he is one of the biggest distractions to the Decepticon cause, but he is willing to protect his friends as a silent warrior at all costs.

The Decepticons that are hiding:
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/megatron/megatron-preview.jpg Megatron: This Decepticon leader has been watching the Autobots heroics as a head, but now the AllSpark has restored his body. He's ready to test his new powers against the Autobots and Starscream, but will he succeed at destorying all his enemies?

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/blitzwing/blitzwing-preview.jpg Blitzwing: Blitzwin's multi-personalities make him highly unpredictable. As a result, Megatron isn't sure he can trust him, but Blitzwing was the first Decepticon to put bounties on the heads of the Autobots and learn they were located on earth.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/lugnut/lugnut-preview.jpg Lugnut: This Decepticon may have a few lose bolts in his head, but he is highly loyal to Megatron. As a result, Megatron tries to give him locations to his whereabouts so he can be freed.

And, of course, the humans.
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/sari-sumdac/sari-sumdac-preview.jpg Sari Sumdac: Sari Sumdac is a young girl armed with a key powered by the All Spark. She's decided to help the Autobots train to become heroes. After her father's disappearance, Sari inherits the company for a short time, but a shocking revelation is about to change her life forever.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/isaac-sumdac/isaac-sumdac-preview.jpg Isaac Sumdac: Isaac Sumdac is the creator of Detroit's robot empire, but he has stolen technology from Megatron to do so. He assists the Autobots when he can in secret, but Megatron has kidnapped him for his knowledge in reverse engineering.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/captain-fanzone/captain-fanzone-preview.jpg Captain Fanzone: Captain Fanzone is the chief of Detroit's police, but he isn't a fan of robots. He questions what the Autobots true intents are, but he also recognizes they can help him when the situation calls for it.

I like Jazz with Nunchucks

"You can't even prove that you exist!" How's that for a cliffhanger line?

The good news is the Autobots have been reinforced. The bad news is that Sentinel Prime is with them. That guy is enough to make a person root for the Decepticons. Hopefully by the end of the series Sentinel will get exactly what he has coming... :D

Hey, Ultra Magnus! Does Thor know you're using his hammer? :p And yes, I gotta agree: Jazz with nunchucks for the massive win! :cool:

I hate Sentinel Prime, that guy is a jerk. At the end when the heros saved the day, I was thinking in your face Sentinel.

The twist at the end, does that mean Sari is adopted?

Sari does not exist at all. There is no proof that a sari Samduc was born, or adopted, nothing. Man sucks to be were, what ever she is.

what did her dad say at the end? i didn't hear it.

It's obvious Sari has some sort of organic matter in her. The Autobot ship picked up her organic matter. I'm thinking she could very well be a child that was about to die that Isaac turned into a cyborg. I guess we'll find out when those two are reunited.

Ultra Magnus's hammer and Jazz's nunchucks stole the show. Meanwhile we had two plots launched: the recovery of All Spark pieces and the building of a Decepticon space bridge to attack Cybertron. The first season went out with a bang, but season 2 is launching an all out assault of awesomeness.

Awesome episode. Except for Sentinel prime I like the Elite Guard. Jazz was awesome with his nunchucks and Ultra Magnus with his Thor's hammer was pretty sweet too.

well we now know sorry is not human maybe she's a ROBOT mixed with technooraginic

I don't think she part machine. If she was, the key would'nt have affected her in the Black Arachnia introduction episode by taking away her life force. After Black Arachnia wasn't affected and she part organic part, machine. She probably was grown in lab like a cloning experiment or something.

Not legally of course.

Jazz Liiiiiiiiiiiives!

And I see others have already made the Ultra Magnus/Thor joke. Oh well. Jazz was cool, and it was rather amusing seeing Sentinel drive off the highway... Could be a fun new direction for the show. Lets see what they do with it.

Great episode. I thoroughly enjoyed the renditions of Ultra Magnus and Jazz. Jeff Bennett did a fine job kindof sortof emulating a similar, authoritative tone that Robert Stack used when he was Magnus. And it helped to really give a deep burn against Sentinel Prime (a well-deserved one at that).

I can't wait until next week when we find out why that cliffhanger was the case.

Awesome/interesting episode today,

Ultra Magnus & Jazz are awesome:D with their cool hammer/nunchaku weapons which the Autobots need all the help they can get.

Geez, Sentinel Prime is a humongous stupid jerk who's no Autobot:shrug:, but a crappy one with a crappy attitude, but he got his just desserts by falling off the highway, Grimlock owning him & when Optimus finally stood up to him, but I have a hunch that he'll turn traitor & join Megatron like Wheeljack(who's cool) from Transformers:Armada & Sentinel Prime's design/likeness is similar to The Tick(I love that show).

The Dinobots are awesome as always which they'll join the Autobots.

Poor Sumdac is captured by Megatron which they'll copy that formula from Transformers:RID with Koji's dad captured by Megatron.

I be sure to know Sari's secret:confused: from what that jerkoff said that she doesn't exist which the plot is going to be interesting along with the All Spark recovery.

I don't think there will even be a new episode next week. Ah yes, you're right. I'll have to look forward to it in two weeks.

Unless you live in Canada.
Canada is behind the US episodes though, so it technically won't be a new episode. It'll be new to Canada, but not new.

That was unexpected. Sari has no records, Detroit's wrecked, and the All-Spark is scatered to the winds and bringing things to life. Sounds like the start of an All-spark quest to me.:D
I was expecting more than 3 Autobots for the Elite Guard, but it was still good as Jazz and Ultra Magnus proved why the are called "Elite".

There are additional Autobots in the Elite Guard, but apparently Ultra Magnus felt they should stay home and defend Cybertron. Two of the three showed why they are Elite (Ultra Magnus and Jazz), and Sentinel Prime frankly showed how much he still has to learn. Get used to Sentinel though, because the next episode has the return of the Headmaster, and he is targeting Sentinel Prime.

I see Sentinel's character going one of two ways: either he becomes less of a jerk as time goes on, or he gets killed off.

Same here. And really I can't wait for him to come face to face with Elita-1's new darker side. He is more to blame for what happened to her then Optimus is.

Canada is behind the US episodes though, so it technically won't be a new episode. It'll be new to Canada, but not new.

Since 'The Elite Guard' aired on Saturday and the next episode is titled 'The Return of The Headmaster', I think Canada will be ahead.
