smokescreen: "Prowl youve never approved of any of the people ive dated."
Prowl: "For good reason! You have abundantly bad taste in mechs!"
Smokescreen: "do you do this with Springers love life!"
Springer: oh please like he even could.
Prowl: I approve of Arcee because she is reliable, has been raised by a good and reliable mech, and has a stable career ahead of her.
Prowl: Now the REST of Springers suitors were unsuitable.
SPringer: Wait... what!?
Prowl: Just terrible options all around if I'm being frank. I mean you had a crush on Rack'n'Ruin as a child.
Springer: HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW ABOUT THAT!?
Prowl: I kept tabs!
Smokescreen: Man I hope Bluestreak is ready for this when he starts dating.
Prowl: Smokescreen don't be ridiculous.
Prowl: Bluestreak is never going to be allowed to date!
------
Sunstreaker: Hey, uh, you wanna try dating?
Bluestreak: Well.... I mean you're from outside the ark, you come from unknown origins, you and your brother are 'undisciplined', you have a serious temper and have straight up punched more than one autobot in the face, etc. You're basically everything my big brother hates in a mech...
Bluestreak: So what were you thinking? Dinner and a movie?
Rodimus has fallen! I Zombie!Optimus am now your leader!"
Oh shit I was warned about this episode. I'm still not ready.
Galvy and Roddy are having a showdown. And Galvy, being a moron, immediately turns on his allies (the Quintessons). Dammit I miss Megs.
Though at least he doesn't completely grab the idiot ball and decides to check if Roddy's really dead.
They go to the tomb of all the guys killed in the movie. Oh dear primus here it comes.
Congrats to this episode on atmosphere. Oh Primus we get a tour of the graves and then zombie OP walks up and its dark and shit shit shit poor Daniel OMG
And a body falls on him too this just keeps getting more horrific And it's only getting started.
OP got one hell of a tomb tho glad they really honored him. And Roddy says the Matrix would tell him. Anyway Galvy and co show up to spit on the graves, though less than the writers.
Does this mean Galvy and OP are gonna meet!? Or, er, zombie OP? And basically zombie Megs at this point I guess.
Yes they do meet OMG! and Galvy's like OMG YAY and he's carrying Cyclonus on his back like a pony ride haha. Shit get outta here Galvy you're too comedic for this episode.
And Zombie OP shows up and yikes this feels so wroooooong. And Roddy just opens up and hands over the Matrix IMMEDIATELY.
Roddy you really should be questioning this more. Roddy are you just so sick of being compared to him that you're not questioning things at all?
And OP's immediately gonna try and kill them and (wait a minute how can Daniel and Spike breathe in space) Shit poor OP
Is it sad that according to my research this is not in fact the worst thing that's ever happened to Optimus Prime?
Shout out to Peter Cullen for giving his all in this performance for this horrific episode. He's as good as ever.
And it's so sweet how angry everyone is over what happened! Springer is especially mad about Arcee getting hurt, I think I'm starting to ship them.
It really is a testament to how good Season 3 has been that I'm as invested in the s3 Heroes' survival as in the drama about OP.
AND OH SHIT DID THEY JUST SEND IRONHIDE PROWL ET AL'S REMAINS INTO THE SUN!? NO NO NO
Quintessons it's thanks to you shitheads that those guys can NEVER be revived in this continuity. OMG. I hope post-revival Optimus goes on a Quintesson vengeance spree.
OMG such warning signs that "Optimus" is not Optimus that anyone who really knew him would pick up in seconds.
IS he struggling from within, conscious of what's happened to him? My poor bb noooo. This is so depressing.
Roddy and OP!Zombie fight each other. And OMG real OP is struggling from within and it HURTS OH GOD WHO THOUGHT THIS EPISODE WAS A GOOD IDEA
We get OP begging Roddy to stop him and it's just heartbreaking. And OMG he's burning a hole in Roddy oh no I love both of you guys.
This is an interesting parallel to what happened to Megsy in the movie! I guess I spoke too soon about OP getting a more dignified end.
"Until all are one" dear Primus that callback. "They made me a weapon to destroy the very ones I loved in life, but you will save them" OP no sweetie words CANNOT convey how much I hate the Quintessons right now.
And because heroically sacrificing himself to save everyone ONCE wasn't enough for OP he does it AGAIN.
Wow and OP formally passing it all on to Roddy and sacrificing himself once truly once more oh bb if only this was the LAST time you had to horrifically mangle yourself to save everyone in this franchise...
