Can someone help me?

I'm attempting to find a clear frame from the Beast Machines series. The part where (I'm told) there's a junkyard where Megatron's been dumping the bodies of the inhabitants. It's said there's the bodies of Prowl, Soundwave and at least one other. Or at minimum bots that look like them. I want to know how much it looks like them. Please help if you can.

That was me said that. I'll try and dig out the videos and take some stills with a digital camera. Can't be certain of the quality though.
I'll have to get back to you tomorrow, if that's okay.

Yeah, I've heard it a few times, but never got to watch the series again to see for myself. After, as you said it was you I'll say you, said it once more it got me to thinking about my story. It's rather a hassle if the corpses are spot on in their appearance. I do appreciate any assistance 'bloke.

If I remember correctly, it was mostly very recognisable limb and waist designs that tell you who they are. I think the animators just pulled the G1 TFs from the BW 'Agenda' eps to use as extra models.
I'll look into it...

Not sure how well these photos will show 'cos they're of my crappy telly screen, but here they are. They're from the BM ep Sparkwar: Part 2: Search.
Here's the best shot, although I'm sure there were others:

Here's a closer look at Soundwave - he has three legs by the look of the scattered parts:

And this looks like Bluestreak's chest and doors, although it has Prowl's triangle detailing:

Don't know who the third guy is - there were some bodyparts that looked like they were just thrown together from alot of other 'bots.

Hope that helps you.

Hmm, that might just be obscure in its clarity enough not to affect me. And even if others might say it's "clear", the three legs helps matters. Thanks Autobloke, I feel comforted.

I didn't say they were all his though - he's not Jake the Peg.

Glad to help.

True, but the mere presence of three similar legs suggests it's not just a body that had it's Spark ripped out, but more a pile of spare parts or possibly even leftover scrap from the Great Upgrade.

The bits were all laying in someplace called the 'Shell Yards'.

Awesome tidbit of info! Muchas, muchas gracias. You've been of great help. ^_^

You really need to watch the show. There's almost more G1 references than in BW.

You mean watch it again, which I'd love to do but don't have the show on tape or DVD. Is it even out on DVD yet?

Sorry, it sounded like you hadn't seen it. As for DVD or video, not as far as I know - at least not in the UK.

That's what I was originally trying to find - I gave up trawling the eps after I found the other pics 'cos I thought I must've imagined seeing those two bodies anywhere else in the series.
Good find!
