Reminder: New Episode of Transformers Animated on Today (feat. Blackarachnia)

Finally!
Maybe, just maybe, YTV and CN airing schedules are now synched up?

Can someone tip me off when it hits YouTube. I'm still without cable(gotta stop putting off splicing that wire)

Usually FanOfTransformers has them up by noon or 1 pm CST on Saturday....not sure about the other people putting them on!

I rely on YouTube as well, since I am too cheap to spring for cable..why pay for 345678904478956 channels of crap when you can get 7 channels of crap for free?!

excellent soo to speek lol dont have pay and im from oz so it isnt on tv yet so ill watch it on youtube

Honestly, I'm just glad to have a new episode after two weeks of reruns. Having and ep with a Decepticon is a bonus. Black Arachnia as the featured Decepticon makes this a double bonus!

Remember the good ol' days when Transfomers were actually featured in Transformer episodes?

I still haven't gotten my satellite back up yet, so I'm relying on Youtube as well. I'm glad I got the internet going at least!

And, without a doubt, this was a kicking episode. And, furthermore, YTV is now airing the same ep as CN.

They're not broadcasting Transformers Animated on my country (Portugal) but I'm being able to get all the episodes in high quality from eMule. I've seen all of them so far. I hope they'll put this one too or I won't be able to see it...

A surprisingly good episode. I love how they keep using classic characters and stuff like that. Oh, and keep an eye out at the end of the ep. There's a Kremzeek standee in the pumpkin patch!!

Also, I heard that YTV will be changing their schedule. TFA will still be on Saturday mornings, but I'm not sure at what time.

Man that ep was sweet love what they did with Elita-one becoming BA and I liked seeing Sentinel too

Spoiler tags, mate. Some people haven't seen it yet!

Agreed. It was pretty killer to see Sentinel there.
Has me wondering why Sentinel is the Elite guard and not Prime...

I loved this episode. A lot. After watching it, I'm wondering if she'll pull what she did in Beast Wars... Y'know, with the whole side-swapping thing... T'would be a neat little nod to the BW series, yes it would.

I also wonder how long it will take the die-hard shippers to crank out some Blackarachnia x Optimus fan drabble as a result o' this episode... *shudders*

@Windracer: I give it a week, tops.

On a more positive note, this was a very good episode. This one and Thrill of the Hunt are easily my two favorite Animated episodes.

It's not that I'm to cheap, it's because they turned me off when they disconected my lordlord and gave me an attitude when I told them to fix it, so I just opted to leave it off.

This
Episode
Is
AWESOME!

Just watched it.
The elita-1-to-blackarachnia is a neat twist.

Pretty cool episode. I really like the flashbacks. Elita-1 even had the mock ponytail that she had as Ariel in "War Dawn". Having Elita-1 become Blackarachnia was an interesting twist, not sure if I approve or not. I just dont want to see her go through that same BW "bad girl turns good for love" thing all over again. Optimus will just have to stay single.

i guess if i didnt have to work this morning i would have never had the chance to record it onto my portable media player but i am surpised i didnt have to downloadthe entire episode from a torrent site like i did with all the other past episoed ive missed in the past.

i saw clips of it before i had to charge my battery and lookes good for a hollaween episode theme a bit late i say would have gone perfect in october

I loved the episode, now that was a bad ass girl bot. I like the G1 Prime and Elita-1 story way better, but this one was just as tender.

OK so I just watched it, here's my notes.

- Nice to see The Tick on TV again, even though his time off the air has humbled him and now he seems less bold. SPOON non-the-less

- Not to nit pick but that was Ariel from G1, not Elita-1.

- I liked that she did have some type of special power

- Ariel turning into BlackArachnia, well, some questions.
.First off, HUH?
.Second, what was with the BA helmet lying next to the energon?
.Third, crying at the end, why cant they leave a femfatal purely evil like they realy are!?!

- I stated in the ToyFair thread that this toy was a definite. I may have to resind that knowing the trends this type of character has in store, and I already have enough turn coats of this namesake.

- All that said, renewing BlackArachnia is just cheap and lazy. They could have just as easily created a new character here, but instead they just choose to recycle hoping to ride a previously popular wave.

- SilverBolt and Real BlacKArachnia are not pleased!!!!

- BulkHead keeping with the deadly toxic poison cloud while walking down children filled streets on Halloween...

.Works for me

- At least one house should have given BulkHead a rock Charlie Brown style before dying from the pesticidic cloud he trailed.

- This episode, lots of hits, but alot more misses.

I Don't know if anyone else noticed it but...

During the Flashback when Prime goes looking for Elita, there is a ground-level shot of Optimus walking up to the Energon Cubes and on the ground is the head of Beast Wars Blackarachnia. It shows her head right after Optimus says "...Sentinal was right"

I noticed that too. That would explain where she gets that helmet from.

Did you notice Kremzeek in the shot of pumpkin patch near the end of the ep?

I noticed the BW BA's head on the ground aboard that Con ship right away...but the Kremzeek one had me going back to look...It sorta looks a bit like him...Was odd that I missed it the first time, since I have loved that little bugger since WAY back in the day!
