3 lugnut supremes

Lugnut, superior?

As the Lugnut Supreme clones move to attack Earth, the Autobots prepare the final battle.

Synopsis

Starsceam Supreme

No, Megatron inferior.

The Lugnut Supremes have arrived on Earth, and are attempting to destroy Sumdac towers. Prowl and Optimus Prime are en route to stop the attack, when the Decepticons switch their focus to attacking Detroit. Using Magnus' hammer, Optimus creates a tornado and uses it to send the Omega clones to Dinobot Island, although two thirds of them soon make their way back to the city.

Starscream (conveniently) pulls himself together and flies off to earth just before the search party of Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Bulkhead arrive on the moon, only to find Arcee instead. When Ratchet approaches her, Shockwave shoots them both, knocking Arcee offline. Ratchet attempts to fix her, with help from Sari , and Arcee comes back online. Fully online.

On Earth, Megatron arrives in Detroit to aid in the attack, only to be shot down by Optimus. The battle between the clones, Megatron, Optimus, and Prowl intensifies.

Arcee and Ratchet succeed in bringing Omega Supreme back online, and together they defeat Lugnut .

Starscream gains control of the clones, and announces that he has wired a self-destruct mechanism to each clone. Megatron attempts to disable the self-destruct devices, but only receives a shock for his efforts. Failing to disarm the clones, Megatron decides that if he can't destroy them, he will at least have the satisfaction of destroying Optimus Prime.

Jazz and Prowl use Processor over matter to locate the fragments of the Allspark, and recreate it. The removal of the Allspark fragment from Starscream's head,which kills him. Prowl realizes that they haven't been able to pull in enough fragments to contain the explosion that will ensue from the clones' self-destruction, and over Jazz's objections, sacrifices his own spark to take their place. His sacrifice saves the city.

Megatron survives and begins his final assault, but is beaten and stasis-cuffed by Optimus.

TFA Final scene

Aaaaaaannnnnndddddd, cue The Touch!

The Autobots go to Cybertron to bring the Decepticons to prison. Prowl is honored as a true war hero. He shall live in our sparks forever.

'Til all are one?

Quotes

Megatron: Ultra Magnus? Here?
(Sees that it's just Optimus Prime.)
Megatron: No, merely a cheap imitation.

— Optimus Prime being the knockoff of Ultra Magnus? That's definitely a switch.


Ratchet: Arcee! You're online!
Arcee: Yes young bots, we're all online. And I'm here to teach you what it means to be a Cybertronian.

— Ratchet... being called young... creepy.


Megatron: (to Optimus) You're a persistant little Autobot.
Optimus: My name is OPTIMUS PRIME!

— And at last Optimus gets his courage, and all it took was a jetpack and a weather-controlling hammer.


Megatron: If I cannot save my clones, at least I'll have the satisfaction of destroying you, Optimus Prime!
Optimus Prime: So you can remember my name.

— For the first time, Megatron actually says his Archnemesis' name. (and treats him like one)


Megatron: Lugnut? Attack! Your glorious leader commands you!

— At least he didn't say fabulous leader.


Jazz: We're gonna need more spark to shield the city from that blast.
Prowl: Can't... pull in... any more fragments... only... one way.
(Prowl starts to glow and rises toward the Allspark Fragments.)
Jazz: Prowl! No! we'll find another way!
(Prowl smiles sadly at Jazz, before being consumed by the AllSpark.)

— "Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest...is silence..."

Megatron: What are you waiting for Autobot? Finish me... (The lightning comes into the Magnus hammer, and Optimus swings the hammer, giving the other Autobots a shocked look, when the camera comes back, the hammer crushed Megatron's cannon instead.)

Optimus Prime: That would be the easy way out Megatron, you don't deserve it... (He puts the statis cuffs on Megatron)

— That was awesome all on it's own, but you know what would have made it better? THE TOUCH.

Other Notes

Animation and/or technical glitches

Transformer references

TFA Dead Starscream

Quick! Hide- Oh, slag it.

  • The object around Optimus Prime's neck at the end of the episode looks exactly like the Matrix of Leadership.
  • This isn't the first time Starscream turns black and white when dead.
  • When Optimus Prime puts the stasis cuffs on Megatron, Optimus' voice becomes slightly... different, sounding similar to his Generation 1 counterpart

Real-world references

Miscellaneous trivia

TFA Dead Prowl

Making fun of this would make one a jerk.

  • Starscream flies off to Detroit when he knows that the bombs in the Omega clones will destroy it and "every bot in a hundred mile radius". Honestly, is he trying to get slagged?
    • Of course, being immortal, he may just wanted to be closer as Megatron was disintegrated.
  • Starscream FINALLY dies in this episode after his AllSpark fragment is pulled from his head by Prowl and Jazz's Processor over matter. Eighth time's the charm, apparently.
  • Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead's transformation animations are all shown in this episode.
  • Prowl's sacrifice would not have been necessary had someone just used the Plasma-Dynamic Thruster to transwarp the last bomb away. Urgh.
  • Megaton finally refers to Optimus by name.
  • Sari goes to the moon and, instead of leaving it a mystery as to how she breathes in a vacuum, she shows that her armored/robotic form allows her to survive without needing to breathe.
TFA Jealous Sentinal prime

No, let's not be happy that the maniacal overlord of death is captured and all is at peace, let's get mad because the guy who trashed his autobot Academy status for you is getting praised.

  • Predictably, Sentinel doesn't look happy to see Optimus being praised.
  • Sari joined the Autobots in taking a bow before the crowd. She's in her full armored cyborg form, though — probably to avert the "Eek, organics!" her human form would elicit.
  • When Optimus Prime is flying towards Megatron for the first time, the Decepticon Leader thought it was Ultra Magnus himself. Judging by how he said it, it may suggest that Megatron knows exactly the kind of bot Magnus is and would seem worried... or perhaps he's merely surprised that Ultra Magnus has recovered and on to fight him.
    • And of course, he hasn't. Since Ultra Magnus is probably still in Spark Support.
  • Right before the bomb went off, the spirit of a deceased Autobot is seen Saving Prime's tailpipe at the last minute, proving that even in death, Prowl is awesome. It could be that Prowl has been merged with the AllSpark, a la Alpha Trion and Vector Sigma.
  • Prowl smiles. He has a nice smile. He should have smiled more often...
  • Hopefully bringing Megatron back to Cybertron won't turn out like last time.

Seeds of the future?

  • While Animated is not on Cartoon Network’s list of returning series, the Powers that Be have yet to make its cancellation official, with many sources being very tight-lipped about it. Writers did say that several plotlines planned for season four had to be folded into season three, but again, explicit confirmation of the series’ doom has yet to come. Only time (and the bottom line) will tell. Certainly, another season's worth of questions were left unanswered:
  • It’s made clear that not all of the AllSpark fragments were recovered. If we add up the characters known to be powered by them, including the Lugnut Supremes, the Constructicons, Starscream clones, Wreck-Gar, and Omega Supreme — at least 13 fragments are still out there. How many fragments are still "in the wild" are unknown.
  • Sari makes a connection with one of the Protoforms, and says it may be why she was supposed to be there. That is not elaborated upon in this episode.
  • Speaking of Sari, we also don't know how Protoform Sari wound up on Earth.
  • It's still unknown whether Ultra Magnus has made a full recovery or not.
  • What happened to the Dinobots to a lesser extent was never explained, as they were last seen running from Sari, playing fetch with the enemy.
Blurr scrapcube spark

Hey! I'm still alive!

  • Blurr's fate is still a little blurry— unless Cliffjumper throwing him into the incinerator was really all there was to it. However, since this episode as well as Five Servos of Doom prove that turning gray upon death is not reserved for Primes, the fact that the compacted Blurr kept his blue coloration suggests that he did survive his crushing.
