...and you noticed that your enemies were beginning to revive as well, what do you think would be the best strategy?

Make sure everyone's accounted for, then fly off into the unknown of this strange new world.
Stop the revivication process and eliminate the enemy while you still havethe advantage.

And, before any says anything, I'm well aware that the TF story would have probably been shorter than a single UK issue had Megsy gone for the alternative option.

neither.

I'd be really really cranky like I am most mornings. Put on some skimpy clothes. Make myself a cup of tea. Consider a shower. Then after an hour or so have breakfast.

Well I think it was a case of Megatron wanting the time to escape, rethink and plot and plan anew (or at least get a head start).

The Autobots were more or less awake anyway, and were outnumbering the 'cons (I think its possible that several Decepticons were destroyed utterly in the crash/sucked out into space, hence why the 'cons are so few). So Megs, instead of having a big messy fight that could deplete his forces further (he does make a sly reference to the missing Shockwave) decides to stay on the move.

The roll call was stupid tho, but served a purpose (was just a bit drawn out thats all. But.... there were toys to sell dagnamit!)

See?

Megs can't do a thing right without some REAL brains around...

Blast them like crap.

For Gods sake! the decpeticons were the fighter ones, and many of the autobots were civilians forced to fight (scientists, enginners or the like). So the outnumber issue wasnt too much of an advantage really.

Either way it would have been not to much of a fight but a short series

Kill them.

Always kill them.

The first time I saw MTMtE, I thought "why isn't he killing them?" and I still stand by that today.

Cartoon. Autobots were practically dead. Why not just make sure they stay deactivated and use for spare parts later on? In a way I could understand the logic(!) behind cartoon Megatron's decision.

Comic. Go for the kill. Leaving Ark to bots was a big mistake.

You know what's a really good way to make sure they stay deactivated? Killing them.

Hrm. Channelled Spike for a moment there...

Logic belongs nowhere near Megatron's decision, else he'd have noticed the possibility that the computer that revived all its owners enemies might eventually do the same for the original crew.

Comic-can't say...
Cartoon-should have shot them all in the head, or wherever would have been neccesary for them to be killed neatly. Little use for spare parts when there's no one to oppose you...

I'd make a nice cup of tea meself - why isn't there an option for that?

I'd sit my ass down in front of the TV and get my kills in for the morning (approx time: 4 hours) before actually doing anything... That and scare the neighbors with forest pattern BDU's and an air rifle... Ahh, ruining outdoor barbeques...

For the sake of my mental well being and remptely enjoyable episode viewing, I like to think that the computer was put offline, but Starscream's firing for some reason activated it again.
-> I can think that I'm not just wasting my time. It almost works until I get to the famous lab coat scene.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 6:05 pm

Starscream firing at the I dunno how thick armor plating of the ARk... why? If he wanted some shooting, he should have shot Megs in the back at the first opportunity. That's what cartoon Screamer always did, and Megs always had mercy on him.

And to think he said he didn't know the word...

Which implies all Transformers are really naked?

I love the cartoon with a passion and I wouldn't go that far.
