how dose he know rodimus and glavatrons name he thought megatron was dead

[AeonMagnus]

@MoonKnightMovies He did just return from a vacation in the all-knowing Matrix.

[MoonKnightMovies]

@AeonMagnus true but then why did he not know how to stop the madness viris

[AeonMagnus]

@MoonKnightMovies Even Alpha Trion didn't know that. Nobody for millions of years knew it.

Optimus is the one who said "arise, Rodimus Prime" in the movie, so if anyone should recognize Rodimus Prime, it's him.

And regarding Galvatron, in a more practical sense, there's a scene break between Optimus Prime being activated and the Autobots traveling to Chaar and locating Galvatron. Surely Galvatron must have come up at some point between "so, how you guys been?" and "ah, we're here".

every time i watched this...i always wondered where Optimus' trailer went too? can anyone answer that?

[AeonMagnus]

@jediMasterCRAZY Depending on who you ask, it gets shunted into subspace or it's composed of disappearium, which has properties that allow it to become invisible.

The real answer of course is that it goes nowhere; as a cartoon, they're not bound by the rules of physics (or logic) and can use as many animation cheats as they like. Like, not drawing it. They use the same cheat for members of the various missions. You might only see 4 Autobots head out, yet others appear at the destination.

3:16 he's already silver

@GalvaWalken8 I don't know, it seemed there were some missing frames in that scene (now if Predaking split into the individual Predacons and were shown infecting Kup, Blaster, Blurr and Goldbug, it would have made sense).

There was only enough alloy to protect Optimus . . . . and Galvatron's batshit crazy without being infected by the plague

[completetechgeek]

Is it just me, or are all the bots in season 3 the same size? For example, kup is less than a head shorter than Optimus!

Optimus looks like Magnus true robot form.

[jazz265]

The Hate Plague doesn't affect Galvatron because he is already as insane as the virus makes the victims

[sliat1981]

the fake leader gets beaten by the real one

[JeremiahEcks777]

@MoonKnightMovies To be fair, Optimus Prime already came back once - in 'Dark Awakening'. And in that episode, he does meet Rodimus who also morphs back and forth between Hot Rod too. So he knows who Rodimus Prime is. And as Aeon pointed out, Optimus does 'talk to' Roddy in The Movie. :)

Galvatron... well, again, Optimus was on the prowl during 'Dark Awakening' - he even resumes control of the Autobots. He could have found out Gal was formerly Meggy and that explains that.

@MoonKnightMovies it could be asumed the autobots briefed him of screen, its only a half hour show, it has flaws but this was the early days before transformers and before it was really huge and before it had an adult following of any magnitude. use imagination and enjoy the show, i think it ads more mystery to it, rather than having every detail spoon fed i prefer it. a show that you could argue appeals to the inteligence of us and adds dimention

stupid humans spoiling everything...:P

[TransFormersDOTM11]
