Episode 8, "What Goes Up" (w/ episode 7 attached):

Episode 7 uploaded by itself (these seem to go up every Thursday):

Primacron wasn't the one who called them.

Really wish that the show didn't do such a late-hour advertisement for the toy by waiting until the very end of the second-to-last episode for Optimus to acquire that color scheme. Same with the Dreamwave comic waiting until the second-to-last Armada chapter before not only upgrading both...

Because their story was done and told, and then he recycled their concept into the Thirteen just a few years later, which Hasbro then took and ran with hoping to make them mainstream, leaving the Covenant out in the cold.

Everyone, meet Deerstalker, Cybertronian detective!

So, what ROTF did in calling them the Seven Primes instead. Behold, the "Covenant"! They were OG "Primus's special group of first original creations made to carry out his Grand Plan", and arguably did it better. They were featured in just one storyline that spanned only two years, only two...

It probably helped that Hound being a Jeep made him already "realistic military" enough for Hasbro's Movie-influenced mindset at the time. Whereas Ironhide seemed to come about from a desire for Hasbro to distance themselves as far away from the 1980s Nissan Vanette altmode as possible...

Total ownage, noob!

With the hindsight we have now, it is clear that that was when Hasbro was firmly in their "early Binder work" mindset of "Everything (sans Animated) must be as grounded in reality as possible, like the 2007 movie was." Giant-sized Powerglide predominately colored gray was the biggest sign of...

Soundwave: Worst zookeeper ever!

The OG Super Saiyan God: (Yes, I know it's not the original toy, but the Kingdom redeco looks so good!) His bio describes this as a body he took on after having his Machine Wars body, so it's a "post-Machine Wars" Starscream (the only fiction ever to entertain the idea of a Machine Wars...
