I hope you're right Fwiff. It would really fully explore the "what does it mean to be a Prime" show angle they spoke about in the beginning.

Optimus, even without his memories, could never remain with the Decepticons for very long. They're too antithetical to his personality. But damn would Prime struggling with his self-concscience and not knowing who he is (while at the same time being revered by his friends who DO know who he is) would be the most interesting take on the character in forever. -------------------- |

Another thought I saw is that he gets memories back, but that doesn't just go and restore him.
It would be like suddenly getting the memories to some other person. They wouldn't be "his" anymore, or at least they wouldn't feel like it. -------------------- BT Toons - updates Tuesdays and Fridays.

Another option would be that Optimus declines to have his memories restored even after rejoining the Autobots. Then the Key becomes the Big MacGuffin until it's finally used in the season finale. On Megatron.

Oh well, it was clever while it lasted. I think it'd be implausible that the Decepticons would be about to fool Orion for long. He's not an idiot, and Megatron has too many variables to control, including his own temper, to keep Orion convinced the Decepticons are good guys. My money is on Breakdown giving the game away. -------------------- TFWiki.net - The Transformers Wiki: because where else are you going to learn about The Battle for Planet Earth?

They could go the Doctor Who route, and have him have a peek at his memories and, shockingly, decide he LIKES being blissfully ignorant rather than war-weary and jaded, and try to turn them down for a bit. Then when he DOES get them back, he's a more nuanced character since everyone knows he doesn't want to be there.

Looks like we've got the preview here on Optimum VoD too. Some actual emoting from Optim- Er... Orion.

Another 3-Parter?
Also, I suspect this will be the episodes that deal with him losing his voice. -------------------- |

What a surprise, Orion found even more Cybertronian starships on Earth!
Seriously, let's fire all our archeologists. Either they are engaged in some conspiracy with MECH, or they are just spending their funding on booze and hookers. We now also know Skywarp is coming, as the creators explicitely said if they introduce more seekers, they won't be clones of/same body type as Starscream. Eh? We do? If you're using the the Takara toy as evidence of this, it IS just a repaint of Starscream. So combined with the staff's comments about Seekers, I don't think that's necessarily proof that Skywarp will appear on the show. They said he will appear in an earlier interview. Can't remember where/when. This post has been edited by BB Shockwave: Feb 14 2012, 11:01 AM -------------------- |

Either they are engaged in some conspiracy with MECH, or they are just spending their funding on booze and hookers. Why archeologists in particular? Surely miners, paleontologists, etc. are equally to blame. I mean, it's not like knowing a lot about ancient civilizations would make you magically know where aliens hid their spaceships. -------------------- |

Especially when the government is in cahoots with giant alien robots, who want a lot of this stuff to stay lost.
