Watching Transformers Prime Episode 2 "Darkness Rising Part 2"
Megatron has gone mad with power! I Starscream am now your leader!
We start again with Megsy and Screamer! Who are almost shockingly polite to each other in this incarnation? I'm so used to them trading insults every other sentence this is throwing me for a loop.
Weirdly domestic moment where Screamer's like "Look an autobot corpse welcome home dear". Megsy's like "aw you shouldn't have" and then uses "blood of unicron" to zombie-fy Cliff.
OOH and he's so excited the minute Screamer brings up OP. He's like "OMG MY BB'S HERE!? Gotta get ready, is my helm straight, how do I look" LOL they're sooo divorced on this show.
We meet another human, this time a grumpy agent. I guess he's our Captain Fanzone for the show. OP shows off his empathy points by understanding his position.
Megsy I know you're evil but letting a zombie autobot kill a ton of your goons just seems inefficient. You don't have a never-ending supply of those. Or do you?
Oh no the bots think Cliff's still alive more trauma incoming for poor Arcee
Wow one of the human sidekicks is actually useful and knows tech? Like Alexis? I feel like they were taking notes from the best sidekicks in the past to make sure they didn't screw this up again.
Screamer's trying to look intimidating by dropping that bomb but he's so smol in this show it's kind of hard to take him seriously.
Poor Arcee so much trauma in just two episodes. And wow her new human bestie is surprisingly emotionally intelligent for a kid? Figures out Miko's bothering her and takes her aside, offers condolence? Turns out his mom's a nurse maybe that's where he gets it from
And she goes home with him and we get more banter. Was not expecting the relationship I'm most invested in so far to be Arcee and her new human bestie but here we are.
Anyway back at Con base, Megsy has a ridiculous plan, Screamer points out it's ridiculous, Megsy ignores him. Yeah we're back on brand.
Screamer: OP's dead. Megsy: Nope. Screamer: How do you know? Megsy: Cause we're murder soulmates screamer how have you not figured this out yet?
Also Ratchet that was really dumb, now that things gonna destroy your whole base.
