It's an internet thing, means "I agree" basically.

Really, wow?
Yeah, show pisses me off. I eventually put up with it because some friends were asking what I thought, barely could stomach it.
The seeded worlds could also be used as a way to explain why it is worth going out and looking for a valuable resource. Once the supplies are located, they would have to be secured and/or fought over. It is not uncommon for one species to impact another, for good and ill. So, again, it is how the show handles and presents this.
"Our resource is so important, we buried it on many different lands" is a treasure hunt.
Zombies? Really?
Okay, I am done with TFP.
Yup, zombie robots, a whole army by episode 5.
BWprowl wrote:Egh, part five rather hurt things for me. The logic jumps go from 'acceptable for a kids' cartoon' to 'buttfuck insane'. How are the kids able to correctly guess, on the first try, not only that the Decepticons are using a satellite array, but the EXACT ONE they're using? There's just no way! Raf's hacking powers hit superhuman peaks as well, and the fact that he was the Deus Ex Machina for almost every part of the plotline didn't help things either. Jack's turnabout was another sticking point. He quit hanging out with the Autobots because he was (rightly) afraid that he would get killed. So then Arcee shows up and gives him the sob story about her other friend who got killed. So this somehow convinces Jack to go running STRAIGHT BACK TO THE GUYS HE THOUGHT WERE GOING TO GET HIM KILLED! And here I was thinking he was supposed to be rational and responsible. And after all the agonizingly precise calculations it took to get the space bridge pointed at Cybertron, Megatron just chucks a block of Dark Energon through the portal, hoping that it'll land on Cybertron? And it *works*? No. I don't care what insane Transformers logic we're using here, NOTHING works that way.
All absolutely right.
More odd family-unfriendly stuff in this episode too, particularly with Miko pointing out the odd absence of guards at the array, and then we discover Soundwave is hanging out there...
Didn't really think about that, but yeah, that was what they were saying I guess. Nasty, but not obvious.
Could this show just not afford to hire enough voice actors? Is that why Bumblebee and Soundwave don't talk, and there're hardly any real Decepticons?
They have Kevin Michael Richardson, that guy can go from giant black guy to scrawny white guy in an instant, and has tons of VO range. They have Cullen, who used to voice multiple characters back in the day. They have Welker, master of cartoon voices. They're just lazy at writing for characters, I bet.

How many times in the course of a day can Miko get EVERYBODY into trouble? Yet in just 5 episodes taking place over 3 days, they went back there over and over and over.
