At least the premise of the show guarantees that DitzBee will be a thing that will be dropped eventually. I didn't mind him too much in this episode. He didn't do anything that put himself or other people in danger, he actually listened to Windblade's warnings (though he was tempted not to), and I found him channel surfing and picking up new clips to add to his speech to be an amusing diversion.

Really liking Nova storm and Thundercracker so far! Also Slipstream! I really hope we get episodes of their point of view. See them get things done and win.

Nice little episode.
Who wants to bet the red button is a distress singnal, and Bee will touch it in the future.

This felt more like Boulder Media firing on all cylinders.
Hopefully we can expect more of the best of this episode once Windblade gets the band back together.
Even if I don’t miss Machinima itself, I will kinda miss Windblade, Perceptor, Megatron, and Grimlock adventuring together.
And, being forgiving of expediency, Windblade has a habit of rolling natural crits thanks to those plot armor buffs. So, she got Thundercracker right in the TCog… maybe.
Also, while I too am kinda bored to tears of Mute ‘Bee, I really enjoyed how ‘Bee just watching and actively rewatching TV is shown to be ‘Bee finding and recording those snippets of dialogue that he uses to communicate! I thought it was odd but also appropriately, necessarily childlike for Boulder to pointedly animate Bee reviewing commercials and other junk on TV, but, nope, it had purpose. And, if you want, you could say that Bee’s brains are going to mush because he’s watching too much TV!
Finally, I can understand why Hasbro called for half length episodes, but I hope that enough folks will be tuning and catching up mid & post season to warrant longer episodes next season.
As I’ve said many times, if you’re really not liking the runtime, just watch Cyberverse once a month! Then it’ll be an “hour” length show… on advertisement subsidized channels, of course! =3

It's growing on me. The only two things I can't quiet get past are:
Bee (much as with other recent characterizations) basically being a puppy or, at best, toddler-like character and unable to speak. (I'll just never like that take on Bee.)
The duration. I just can't get behind televised series being 11 minute long chunks. I just can't. It's easier for me to overlook issues with the Machinima series because they were in my mind meant to be small, bite-sized web shows without much put into them, ala Star Wars Forces of Destiny. And it's just a side thing for fans of Generations. But mainline series only being 11 minutes long is just not sufficient for me.
But, as I said, it is growing on me. At least it's kind of back to basics. Though I hope the cast gets fleshed out very soon and we get back to more characters on screen at a time. I also hope the entire series isn't entirely focused on Windblade and Bee. I want this to be a preamble to the more major characters taking center stage eventually.

It's Telitran 1. By Primus I want to like this show but it's all the little things that bug me. Optimus, Whelljack and Megatron's voices are wretched, the constant uses of Bee's normal voice as his radio speech, and ducking Telirton. It's not a bad story and I don't mind a different take on some of the characters but all the little this add up too much for me.

I really enjoy the animation style and quality of this series. It's very easy on the eyes but too simple. Sadly I really don't think the toys match that quality especially in comparison to Animated or Prime, but I'm guessing that's more due to Hasbro/Takara having to scale back the plastic use.
Voice acting seems fine. Some choices do seem radically different from previous series so I with those who say they need time adjusting. One thing I absolutely wouldn't mind going away is the whole "mute bumblebee who has to talk through his radio" gimmick. It's getting tiresome.
Overall I think is a great series for the kids. And being quick 12 minute episodes I can easily watch out of boredom.

Was annoyed that Windblade kept trying to walk away. You're a freaking plane!!!! Then at the end she finally remembered it. And LOL at the big threat of shoving her off the cliff.
Count me also annoyed how Bumblebee acts in the real world. Perfectly normal in the memory retrieval world but a ditz outside of that.

Too bad I can't watch it because this series somehow connected to Bumblebee movie with him being amnesiac (not really connected but I like to think it is). I'm interested on how bumblebee will regain his memory.
Furnace
Agreed. While the show is pretty fun, the combatants rarely ever make full use of their abilities. The Seekers have big guns bolted to their arms, yet they insist on giving chase on foot instead of just shooting. And why would anyone (especially an aerial combat specialist) drop a flying bot off a cliff and expect them not to, you know, fly?
That's not to say I don't like Cyberverse, it's just little things like that tend to take me out of it. That and the wrong use of transformation noises, but that's another story!

I hate how Bee suddenly turns "stupid" whenever he's using his radio voice.
Deadend
Good episode. Really liking the show so far.
MindChamber
This is 80s quality writing and fighting, I just don't understand why we're not pass this level. New bad Nostalgia for kids at this age I guess
Spontificus
The fight scenes seem to be improving, which is good because that was my main criticism with the show so far.
I wish that Nova Storm had a more unique color scheme. Whenever she and Slipstream were not on screen at the same time, I had trouble telling them apart.
cutestprincess
Okay, LOVING the Seekers! Also glad Slipstream isnt the only lady seeker on deck anymore. Nova Storm actually seems really cool. Cooler than her g1 namesake at least. But yeah, good fight scenes in this one, and Bee wasnt too annoying in the present. I was worried the flashback stuff would be the only good stuff in this show, but actually this one being good gives me hope that the show overall will rank as good.

I\'m starting to get used to and appreciate the animation but the writing still needs some serious work, still not as bad as Machinima though. There were some really great scenes of Windblade fighting the Seekers in the snowstorm, that was pretty cool. 10 minutes just isn\'t long enough to have anything close to a substantial plot. Hopefully this show is received well enough to convince them to double the episode length if it gets a second season.

every time you start getting in to an episode it just ends….
