I forgot how much fun staying up late fangeeking with Koi is. In the course of the evening until two in the morning, with time allowed for the watching of the last two episodes of TF: Armada, the following theories came into play:

* Vector Sigma as a demon snack machine, resulting in the Beast Machines Oracle encouraging the Maximals towards bringing back demonic control of Cybertron.

* Thrust as the power behind the throne in Armada, given that Megatron is good at getting followers but rubbish at leading them anywhere.

* Aerialbots as religious figures.

* TF: Animated not just resembling a G1 AU, but actually being one, specifically an AU where the Matrix either never existed or was never found after Alpha Trion took it.

* TF: Armada Optimus Prime with the brakes off is fucking scary (okay, maybe that was just me).

* Energon Scorponok is Armada Starscream, Energon Starscream is Armada Thrust.

The dimension-traveling Thrust ghost was not addressed during the conversation, but it may be brought up at a later time. In summary, I love this house.

Vector Sigma as a demon snack machine made me LOL.

It makes sense when Koi explains it.

Guess I'd have to have been there.

Considering how long we were about it? Yeah, you did.

Nope, Armada Prime is *hardcore*.

You don't see it as much during the rest of the show--then again, most of the rest of the show has rather fumbled combat and not a knock-down drag-out brawl.

Wasn't it kinda the point that Optimus was holding back? Megatron as much as said so. And that wasn't knock-down-drag-out; that was to-the-death.

I know it was the point. That still means I didn't notice it going on until you showed me the final episode.

Knock-down drag-out generally means brutal and no holds barred, so yes.
