http://a45.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/119/m_b752dce6895365b35378b2f39d404224.jpg The Constructicons returned with their desire for oil, and thanks to a Bumblebee leak they were led straight to the Autobots base. Sari was the only one at home, so she went all ballistic and decided to defend her home turf at all costs. This ended up leading the Constructicons straight to Blitzwing, and now Megatron lacks only one thing in his desire to take over Cybertron.

http://a234.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/114/m_51cb28b82278f83146ac9a13f0030e29.jpg Remember that car who seemed to help the Autobots for no apparent reason. Remember that Professor Sumdac had something that he wanted to tell Sari. Remember how Megatron has a spy in the Autobots ranks. Remember how the Constructicons said they could build a space bridge if they had someone who knew the technology. Remember how Starscream was creating clones of himself. All these things, and more, come into play on the season 2 finale of Transformers: Animated.

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.

Blurr: Blurr is one of the Autobots top leaders and is a member of the Cybertron Elite Guard. He was given the order to come to Earth and learn how to intercept the Decepticons technology so the Autobots would again have an advantage. He was also told to do this without the knowledge of Optimus and company though, but onec Megatron learns that one of Optimus' men has the final key for his space bridge, it's up to Blurr to help them stop him at all costs.

Omega Supreme: Omega is the largest Transformer ever created. His sacrifice in the previous great war allowed the Autobots to gain the momentum to defeat the Decepticons, until the AllSpark was found once more. Omega's injuries were so great that the Autobots hid his spark inside Teletran 1, the same ship Optimus and company have. Now Ratchet must see if he can find a way to reactivate Omega if the Autobots are to have any chance at being victorious.

The Decepticons that appear:
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 destroying all his enemies?

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/blitzwing/blitzwing-preview.jpg Blitzwing: He may have multi-personality disorder, but this doesn't prevent Blitzwing from destroynig anything he deems to be a nusciance.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/lugnut/lugnut-preview.jpg Lugnut: This Decepticon is Meagtron's most loyal servant, but he also lacks in the area of IQ. While it makes him easy to command, it also causes him to blow key missions. Lugnut does have stregnth though to counter Bulkhead, so he's always a threat the Autobots can't ignore.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/mixmaster/mixmaster-preview.jpg Mixmaster: This Constructicon has one main desire- oil, and he also lives to build things, especially if his reward will be oil. As a result, he is a perfect candidate for Megatron's space bridge project.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/scrapper/scrapper-preview.jpg Scrapper: He may be a crude and rude machine, but he loves to build and drink oil. He also loves to name things if they don't have names. As a result, he's perfect for Megatron's space bridge project.

http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/starscream/starscream-preview.jpg Starscream: This Decepticon was formerly Megatron's number one hand, but he decided to turn against Megatron so he could assume command of the Decepticons. In the end it cost him his spark, but a piece of the AllSpark got imbeded in his head and gave him two key abilities: immortality and the ability to clone himself.

Shockwave: Shockwave is a Decepticon spy in the Autobot army known as Longarm Prime. With the suggestion from Megatron, he was able to frame Wasp at Autoboot camp, and it has given him perfect access to sabotaging the Autobots on Cybertron. With only a few people knowing who he is, the question is can anyone stop him?

And, of course, the humans.
http://www.transformersanimated.com/img/characters/isaac-sumdac/isaac-sumdac-preview.jpgIsaac 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/sari-sumdac/sari-sumdac-preview.jpg Sari Sumdac: She is the daughter of Isaac, but no records show her exsistence. As a result, she has moved in with the Autobots and now does anything she can not only to help the Autobtos but also ambush Powell.

Next week
This is the season 2 finale. While it is believed Animated will get a third season, all episodes that have been produced are finished at this time, so get ready for the glory of reruns.

[LordTerminal]

----------------Part 1------------------

Ouch! Just when you thought Animated version Megatron couldn't be anymore hardcore, he applies the Decepticon symbol on newcomers..............with an electronic branding iron!

So we have a coward that looks like Skywarp, an egomaniac that looks like Thundercracker, a liar that looks like Ramjet, a suck-up that looks like Sunstorm and a female? Who.....doesn't seem to resemble any Seeker to my knowledge.

Bulkhead is a space-bridge expert? Does that seem very out of place to you people?

"I think it needs a long caption."

Hey, Blurr even has his old G1 actor! Damn, this show really loves to pour on fanservice, eh?

Oh now Bulkhead's space-bridge expertise even more out of place when talking about it with Issac Sumdac.

Okay why does the closed captioning keep calling Optimus by Sentinel Prime.

Uh oh. Looks like Megs is going to have a big collection of Starscream parts when this is over.

-----------------Part 2-------------------

No one comes between a Constructicon and his oil.

Oh great, there goes Blurr and the Skywarp and Thundercracker wannabes.

Of course the female is one that doesn't get along the best with the original.

FATALITY!

And the remaining Starscreams jump ship to Megatron. Who didn't see that coming?

Bumblebee now knows the truth....

The ship is Omega Supreme! Quick someone play The Touch by Stan Bush!

Dang. So the "Sari is a robot theory" is true after all. Well, or at least she's a cyborg.

Looks like Megs and Scream's head are going to have a nice time together......in the depths of space.

[ShadowGUN]

A female Starscream? :eek:

Well that was bit of a twist.

[zoombie]

It better get a 3rd season, they better not leave us hanging on a cliffhanger.

[Tash]

It better get a 3rd season, they better not leave us hanging on a cliffhanger.
It's already in production.

[Dudley]

Sari's a robot?!

Didn't see that coming.

[John Dorian]

Sari's a robot?!

Didn't see that coming.



Me neither.

Season 3, here we come!

[zoombie]

Sari's a robot?!

Didn't see that coming.

I did since we found out her proff of birth was missing or didn't excist.

Anyway the closing credits was funny, too bad that announcer had to ruin it.

[Racattack!Force]

I seriously should have seen Sari being a robot coming. But why didn't I? Was it the way she acted, her personality, what? It should have been obvious...but it wasn't.

[Rook]

I seriously should have seen Sari being a robot coming. But why didn't I? Was it the way she acted, her personality, what? It should have been obvious...but it wasn't.

it was too obvious, that it couldnt be the truth, yet it is...kind of like a paradox.

[zoombie]

I guess it is possible that Professor Sumdac never married, or been with a woman at all. If he is going to build a robot daughter, why not build a robot wife.

[LordTerminal]

I did since we found out her proff of birth was missing or didn't excist.

Anyway the closing credits was funny, too bad that announcer had to ruin it.

Not to mention the part that the announcer ruined is actually one the funniest lines of dialog I've heard between Megatron and Starscream in this series:

Megatron: Oh someone put me offline now.
Starscream: What do you think I've been trying to do for the past 4 million stellar cycles? ::laughs maniacally:: It's funny really. Tragic, but funny!
Megatron: Oh shut up.

Anyways, I'm still sticking with the idea that Sari is a cyborg or at least has some mechanical cybertronian parts in her. There's too much stuff conflicting with the robot theory. Unless they have a way to explain that.

[Rook]

I guess it is possible that Professor Sumdac never married, or been with a woman at all. If he is going to build a robot daughter, why not build a robot wife.

probably because there's more too it than her just being a robot. We've seen Sumdac's other robots, nowhere remotely as lifelike as Sari. She's probably wasnt even built by him.

[HEATXZ]

Very awesome, I like the part when Starscream head fell off XD
Can't wait for Season 3

[creativerealms]

Sari is organic at least part organic or the All Spark would not have reacted to her the way it did. I'm going with cyborg.

Fun episode, a lot happened, some things ended but not everything. There are still decepticons on Earth, theres what happen to Blurr, the deal with Sari and still the Wasp plot along with others that need to be covered again. Of course I would not count Megatron or Starscream out just yet.

[ShadowGUN]

Sari's a robot?!

Didn't see that coming.

I don't think she a robot. Remenber in the "Along came a spider " episode? When Blackarachnia use Sari' key she began to absorb the organic life force. This affected Sari so that she must part organic. In other words she like humanoid Cylon (see Battlestar Galactica). Neither machine or human just something in between.

As for the finale. Wow just wow. Truly epic. From the reveal of Blurr(voice by John Moschitta, Jr , the original G1 Blurr, no less) to the Autobot ship being Omega Surpeme this waaaay better that season 1 finale. The Starscreams especially the liar and female Starcreams were pretty entertaining. The end credit were hilarious too. Man, can't wait for season 3.

[Goodfellow]

Question, YTV cut off the scene during the end credits so some dude could talk about Pokemon coming up next. Please tell me CN actually has some manners and will not make us wait until it comes out to DVD to see.

CN did a promo about Robotboy coming up next, but since Robotboy won't be on after it tomorrow, I doubt they will have the voice over tomorrow. There will also be the weekday run where they shouldn't have a voice over come out and promote what's next.

CN has been notorious with that as of late, i have feeling they will do it again tomorrow.

[Paul_Cousins]

I haven't been paying much attention to this series. But I caught this full two-part episode and it was GOOD.

This TFA series is clearly made by fans of the original TF 80's G1 series and has lots of homages to the original series.

Blur is truly faithful to the original G1 Blur character. And having the ark turn out to be Omega Supreme was a nice twist. :cool:

This episode had a good plot, with plenty of twists and nice cliffhanger. I hope CN continues this series for a third season. It's good.

[Radical]

The 2 part finale was pure awesomeness!!!!!:

The Constructicons are so my mega favorites joining Megatron & getting their original G1 colors as well.

Shockwave totally sounds like his G1 counterpart which he's my favorite Decepticon:D.

Blur & his speed talking(like Rev Runner's) is awesome:D next to his cool G1 counterpart and the Transformers:Armada version who was a big jerk in his first episode appearance.

I love Starscream's clones especially the white clone who's the liar(looks like Ramjet), blue clone who's an egomaniac(looks like Thundercracker), cowardly clone(looks like Skywarp) & that girl clone which they're awesome.

Bulkhead being a hostage to create the space bridge, wow, he's a bridge expert:eek:.

Poor Starscream ended up losing his head like Bulkhead & that jerkhole Sentinel(who deserves it).

Poor Bumblebee found out Longarm's dark secret.

Omega Supreme is pure awesome:anime: next to his G1 counterpart with him being the ship was shocking & beating the badguys and having to save the day to being sucked to the space bridge:crying:, poor big guy along with poor Blur being sucked as well.

Sari being a robot was really shocking:eek:, poor Sumdac.

Megatron & Starscream's bickering at the end was hilarious, but dumb announcer jerkholes ruining it:mad:.

Now I can't wait for that slimebucket Powell to get defeated with Sumdac finally rescued & the Wasp plot will be covered soon, can't wait for season 3.

[bigddan11]

I can honestly say they could have taken out the space bridge plot and thrown in Omega Supreme, and I still would have enjoyed this episode. It was a great way to create what could have been a series finale. Megatron and Starscream bickering reminds me of how those two always bickered at the base in G1 Transformers. Megatron's Decepticon dampener will hurt him now. He's lost in space with stasis cuffs on, so he can't use his radio, and no one can detect him due to the dampener. Add in that Starscream is only a head, and it's classic comedy.

Blurr offically dethroned Bumblebee as the fastest thing on wheels only to be sent away to the unknown regions of space. Luckily for him his communication equipment still works, so he should be able to be rescued. It was great with Omega Supreme sacrificing himself, though I do wish the Dinobots had been involved a bit in the battle.

I guess the Constructicons really do only have a two-tracked mind: building and oil. They let the mountain crash around them to save the oil. Does everyone have to be so insane.

To me once Black Arachnia said that any technorganic matter makes them not able to be detected by the AllSpark that Sari was going to be in a similiar situation. What I wonder is what happens now that she knows her fathers dirty little secret. I also cant wait to see Sumdac reclaim his building empire. Porter C. Powell won't know what hit him.

Note to Starscream: never trust anyone that has some of your personality. His clones were great- especially the pathological liar and the suckup, as it led to some great comic scenes between them and Omega Supreme. I guess we can offically say that Starscream is now A HEAD of the competition. Ok, it may be corny, but I don't care.

I look forward to seeing what happens with Optimus and company now. We finally learned that Prowl never completed his ninja academy training. I suspect he may go back and do so. Bulkhead is clearly needed on the space bridge team. This could very well lead to a whole different squad next season.

Also, sicne no one mentioned it, the animation movements work a lot better in this finale than in any episode of Transformers Energon.

[warnerbroman]

for the records...

I KNEW IT!!!!!!

[creativerealms]

Bulkhead being a Space bridge expert was not that shocking to me. After all he did want to be a Space Bridge Technician, no one ever asked him how well he knew Space bridges and he never told. Besides when he was living on the Energon farm with Space Bridge Technician files he probably never thought of anything else.

Bumblebee Bulkhead was thinking big you just never knew your friend as well as you thought.

[Tash]

Megatron: Oh shut up.
Tom Kenny and Corey Burton did that scene unscripted. Apparently, they have quite a sense of humor.

[zoombie]

If you thought Sari being a robot was a shocking twist, the show that was preempted today Bakugan Battle Brawlers has a similar twist for one of its main characters. Though it won't be revealed till mid way through season 2. They do start to hint strongly throughout season 2.

[Harlan_Phoenix]

Sari is organic at least part organic or the All Spark would not have reacted to her the way it did. I'm going with cyborg.


Possibly, but I'm also willing to be that somehow her outer appearance has the ability to simulate organic life, hence its reaction to Blackarachnia. Really smart nanotech or somesuch.

That'd be pretty difficult seeing that Bakugan only has 1 season. Yes, i realize that Teletoon aired 26 episodes and then went on break, but it's no different than what has been done with Energon, Cybertron, and Armada in terms of breaks after showing a number of episodes. Bakugan only has 1 season of 51 episodes.

Well whatever. It is post episode 26 in which they start to give hints of the big twist, and the half way point between episode 26 and episode 51 the big twist about one of the main characters is revealed.

Episode 26 which is the unoffical end of season 1 premeres in late August.

[Movie06]

Great episode! I love it. And I knew Sari was a robot all this time.

[bigddan11]

Episode 26 which is the unofficial end of season 1 premieres in late August.
I know exactly what event you're referring to. I also know that while they might take a break after episode 26, it still isn't season 2. That's like saying they're going to have a season 3 of Bakugan because they went back to episode 1 last week in Canada, so they will have 2 months of premieres still to air, but it's still all the same season. As for the event you're referring to, it's a little more shocking than Sari being an android.

[Chykin]

I didn't exactly know Sari was a robot/cyborg before this episode, but I did get this eerie sense of deja vu when it was revealed.

Sorry for getting off topic, but I just wanted to give people that liked the twist of Sari of being a robot and like type of twist a recommendation for something else. And doesn't matter what season it is, it is irrelevent.

I wonder what the story behind Sari really is, and Sumdac has some explaining to do.

[Wolf Boy2]

Sari's a robot?!

Didn't see that coming.
I did. I had been spreading the theory about her robotness for a long time. I haven't seen these episodes yet, so this revelation on this board is the first official confirmation I've heard. But really. The hints were there all along. She never played with other kids or had friends. There was no mother or mention of a wife. When they revealed that there was no record of her birth, it was dead obvious. I watched that episode and said out loud, "She's a robot."

Then I did a little dance because my theory was right.

I guess it is possible that Professor Sumdac never married, or been with a woman at all. If he is going to build a robot daughter, why not build a robot wife.
Ewww, that just gave me the creepiest thought about Professor Michael Jackson **cough** Sumdac (which I will not repeat).

[Scirel]

This was probably the ebst 2 episodes of the whole series, but I have one question:

Why is Blackarachnia NEVER with the other decepticons? She was on the ship in the first ep and hasn`t been seen with them since. It's not like Lockdown and Swindle who were travelling "collectors".

[zoombie]

Why is Blackarachnia NEVER with the other decepticons? She was on the ship in the first ep and hasn`t been seen with them since. It's not like Lockdown and Swindle who were travelling "collectors".

Well it is because in this series, she has no loyalty to anyone but herself. She will help the Decpticons only if she feels it is in her best interest.

[Wolf Boy2]

Well it is because in this series, she has no loyalty to anyone but herself. She will help the Decpticons only if she feels it is in her best interest.
Which isn't too different from the original Blackarachnia.

[kid rabbit]

I heard the same guy who did the voice of shockwave in G1 does his voice in this show
and transformers gore :evil: head getting cut off and lugnuts being blown to pieces he probliy won't be back next season:crying:

She's more interested in purging her organic half. Still I would like to see how she came to join Megatron, what Mega offered her, I bet he offered to purge her organic half, still I guess she does not trust any robot not just Autobots.

[Knightmare]

This was an awesome episode, everything from Blurr, and the clones was great and I jumped out of my seat when I realized that the ship was Omega Supreme(I will be buying the figure when it comes out). The ending with the big reveal for Sari was great and I can't wait to see the 3rd season(Anyone know when it's going to air?)

The final scene with Megatron and Starscream was great, I can't wait to get this series on DVD.

If you wish to get the series on DVD, be warned that Transformers: Animated- Transform and Roll Out (the 3 part movie premiere) is already out on DVD. Season 1, which consists of the next 13 episodes, will be released in August. The movie won't be on the season 1 set, so you'd better start collecting it now.

[Kenny E. McCall]

Ok, let me see:

We had Starscream, Skywarp, Sunstorm, Thundercracker, Ramjet, and some butch female Seeker jet who I will call her Nightscream for the time being. And, it was comedy gold!!!

And, the next best thing: Omega Supreme! There's nothing finer than a spaceship that transforms into a Juggernaut-sized weapon of mass destruction! Too bad he sacrificed his life (along with Blurr's) to plug that damn spacebridge!

And that ending was pure hilariousness!

i have no desire to suffer through this show. what is it?

[AlgeaX]

i have no desire to suffer through this show. what is it?

If you don't want to watch the show then why do you care?

[Paul_Cousins]

I just caught the repeat of TFA, and they showed the credits between Megatron and Starscream and it was very funny dialog. Tragic, but funny. ;)

Also, Dr. Sumdac telling Sari that he needs to talk to her is an understatement of the year.

I just heard the last part uncovered too it's funny tragic but funny!

who is that in your avatar?

[Paul_Cousins]

1. I just heard the last part uncovered too it's funny tragic but funny!

2. who is that in your avatar?1. The quote when something like this.

Megatron, "Someone shut me off."

Starscream, "What do you think I have been trying to do for the last four million star cycles? You know, it's funny. Tragic, but funny. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

2. It's a panning shot of Dark Coop turning his back on Megas, in Ep 26 of Megas XLR series. It's a cool shot for a cool scene. :cool:

[Crash]

Sari is techno-organic? Who cares. I wanna know what happened to Blurr, Skywarp, and Thundercracker! (And Waspinator, but that's a little off-topic)

So Starscream has a feminine side. O-kay.... The clones were very amusing, though.

Blur. Just awesome. First thing I thought was that he sounded exactly like the movie Blur. Guess there's a reason for that. We'd better see him again.

Deceptacons Assemble! That was a nice cast we finally got. A whole fleet of evil aircraft! Megatron (with the best alt-mode he's had since he was a pistol) Lugnut (Meh) Blitwing (still one of the funnest characters on the show) and a trio of seekers. Just wish we could have seen that team do more. Still, the attack on Omega Supreme was cool. And Megatron using Optimus as a robot shield...Priceless.

A very well-crafted finale. Much better than most of the episodes.

[Paul_Cousins]

Blur. Just awesome. First thing I thought was that he sounded exactly like the movie Blur. Guess there's a reason for that. We'd better see him again.That's because it's the same actor, John Moschitta Jr, voicing Blur in both the original G1 version and the TFA version. :cool:

[AdamYJ]

That's because it's the same actor, John Moschitta Jr, voicing Blur in both the original G1 version and the TFA version. :cool:

Makes sense. The voice was the most distinctive thing about Blurr, so why not try and get the same actor. Besides, only a couple voice actors I know of can pull off that speed-talking.

Anyway, good episode. I liked Omega Supreme and Blurr. The Starscream clones were funny, and it's cool that they based them on the repaints of Starscream from the old toyline. The minute Megatron said he needed a space bridge expert, I thought "Bulkhead". After how devoted he was to being a space bridge technician in that flashback episode, it seemed obvious. Also, I knew Sari had to be a robot. Once you find out someone has no official record of existence and you know their father is a robotics expert, you put two and two together.

The Ark turning out to be Omega Supreme was one of those brillant ideas that a fan would wish the producers of original G1 series had though up and used.

I'm rather late weighing in on this, but better late than never.

This was a winner all around. Everybody's already hit on the best parts: Omega Supreme, Blurr, the Starscream clones (I'll call the female one Dirge for now). :)

The Decepticons are beaten for now, but we still have some leftover items to kick off next season with; specifically Sari and Wasp(inator?). I can't wait but for the time being, I'll content myself with the reruns.

Meanwhile, anyone know where I can find the text of that pledge that the Constructicons took? ("I swear allegience to Megatron, etc."). That's just the thing that an old Decepticon sympathizer should have as his signature. :D

Dirge, that's another good name for her (I called her Nightscream.)

If Dirge finds a way to clone herself like Starscream did, then her sister could be called Thrust (she could the series' first Decepticon jet porn star, but the network censors would not allow some of the stuff she would probably do to be aired on a Transformers episode.)

I think if most of us hadn't been distracted by the Starscream-Megatron banter, somebody could have looked to the credits and found out "nightscream's" real name.

[Bakasama]

You're going to be disappointed with her name. Her name so far is "Female Starscream".

[Kenny E. McCall]

Fo' Shizzle, dog. Nightbird it is. I still do remember that G1 episode, "Enter the Nightbird, though.

[Fifi Fanatic]

I'll second (or third?) the nomination for "Nightbird." :)


I know there's going to be a Skywarp toy with the TFA toy line. Maybe the coward clone might actually return in the series as Skywarp? Stay tuned....

I think we're proving once again that everybody likes the Seekers. :anime:

So, I am sure if the TFA series is continued, those clones, including Nightbird, will return.

Wel the way I saw the clones:

Blue - Thundercracker
Purple - Skywarp
Yellow - Sunstorm
Gray - Ramjet
Female - uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not sure on this one, Chromia maybe??

[Chykin]

I agree, Nightbird would be the best name for the female Starscream.

[Aldrius]

Eh, I kinda like Dirge more than Nightbird.

She's rough and critical, not majestic or deadly.

I really liked this episode. Everything was spot on. Megatron, the Constructicons, everything. The only thing that disappointed me was how easily Blitzwing and Lugnut were defeated, considering how the producers wanted them to be tougher than in G1.

This show is really setting itself out as a quality show.

[Kenny E. McCall]

Now that we established Nightbird as the female clone of Starscream, I'm still wondering that there's still room for a female Dirge and Thrust, to balance out the male/female Seeker quotient in Transformers: Animated.

Now that Sari's an android, will she be converted into a Chromia or an Arcee?

[creativerealms]

Not Arcee as she already exists in this universe.

[Chykin]

What's a "dirge"?

[AlgeaX]

What's a "dirge"?

They mean this guy...

I imagine if the Starscream clones last long enough they'll probably get official names.
