    This is probably Jazz's best episode. Most of the time, he does something cool once or twice an episode and fades into the background. Nice to see him front and center for the majority of the episode!

    No Megatron, no Space Bridge, hardly any Optimus, and very little of Earth. That's a risk-taking approach, to be sure. But this is one of those times where the risk paid off ... big time. The part where the inhabitants see Omega Supreme for the first time ... it's a riot. Definitely of the strongest entries in the series.

    I just can't stress enough how great Scatman Crother's Jazz is in this episode. His delivery is hilarious, his character is almost super-heroic, and really shows why he's a fan favorite.

He will judge all of the unrepentant evildoers and the disbelievers that day and then His angels will throw the poor condemned into the lake of fire and brimstone. It is the second death. While those that have willingly accepted God=Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation towards their sins and have personally confessed their wrongdoings to Him and have repented will be spared by God=Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Those will be of His seed and of Abraham's seed and will inherit eternal life from God=Lord Jesus Christ and have fellowship with Him. It sure beats winning the lottery I assure you. Be warned God=Lord Jesus Christ also punish idolaters later that keep doing it and don't stop and don't repent. Idolaters also end up in the lake of fire.

      God is Lord Jesus Christ. He will summon everyone on judgement day. Both the living and the dead. He will judge all of the unrepentant evildoers and the disbelievers that day and then His angels will throw the poor condemned into the lake of fire and brimstone. It is the second death. While those that have willingly accepted God=Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation towards their sins and have personally confessed their wrongdoings to Him and have repented will be spared by God=Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Those will be of His seed and of Abraham's seed and will inherit eternal life from God=Lord Jesus Christ and have fellowship with Him. It sure beats winning the lottery I assure you.

      @@XiaoFury Theism versus the nameless unity of being ... Religions offer tribal plays and dramas through which the members can achieve selfhood and oneness as well as imparting rules, values and norms to the newest members .... In many cultures, life begins with a belief in Astrotrain style gods and devils and demons but at some point this is revealed to have been all a game and a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe they belong to is hopefully achieved, albeit through variations on the same rituals and mythologies they knew before ... but more complex....Once this has been done, one can go back to worshipping Astrotrain in the knowledge that it's all a game and that the cosmic reality is fare more beautiful and uplifting...and less scary too.
      ...of course, there are always those who twist the mythologies into instruments of personal power and control and we still have such people today in our times and probably always will.... Be the Astrotrain that they hail be called God, Nation, Progress, Science, Revolution, Freedom, Patriotism or whatever....those who don't buy pretend to and worship their own way in secret ... others convince themselves to believe because it fills some need they have.
      Well, that's the lecture on Theology, Ritual, Mythology, the search for the Self and Astrotrain over for today....Hope you enjoyed it!

    A very enjoyable episode that showed Starscream wasn't the only one with ambitions to become leader of the Decepticons as Astrotrain would also display desires of his own to gain power for himself. This would be further explored and addressed later on in the 'Triple Takeover' episode with Blitzwing added to the mix as all 3 Decepticons joined forces in an attempt to dethrone Megatron before they all turned on one another.

    I’ve always felt this episode would have been better if Starscream was the supreme god. Sure you argue that the episode before this, “A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur’s Court”, just explored that idea. And in “Triple Takeover” we see Astrotrain’s superiority complex shine even more along with Blitzwing’s. So in retrospect I guess my argument is a muke point.
