Shoutout to this show for having episodes solely focused ok the Decepticons without any Autobot screen time. Really gives the villains of this show character
Speaking of power, in the Transformers: Prime game, many of the characters had a LOT MORE power than they did in the show. For example, Knockout had arm blasters and a massive drill in one of his arms, and Soundwave could double the size of his arms and shoot sonic blasts from them. Same applies to Ratchet, since he had blasters and a mega-sized wrench in the game as well. Then again, none of the games are canon.
Also, Knock Out remaining in favor with Megatron doesn't really mean a whole lot if the entire crew ends up as Energon-draining Terrorcons. Starscream doesn't have the hindsight to realize that.

It says a lot about the credibility Shockwave has with Megatron. Shockwave never seems the type to give excuses but genuine explanations, immediately tries to fix them, and is totally upfront about it. Megatron seems to genuinely respect someone trying hard and getting results, so he's probably fine giving Shockwave a mulligan once in a while.

Gosh watching Silas beg for his life is still chilling and yet so satisfying. He was a true cold blooded menace and seeing someone so calm and collected plead like that and literally die on screen really stuck with me as a kid
Considering all the trouble Starscream and Knockout get into you’d think Megatron’s default response to them approaching him in a panic would be “What have you done THIS time?”
@@tdpuuhailee8222 ok so we know that the other character refers to the dark energon infusion in the ship so I assumed in order to see if it made a deference he would add the same amount of synthetic energon like some science change what’s in something but not the amount of liquid used like if the first test was 10ml of different substances like water and molten iron the nest might be 10ml of mucury and molten gold

Couldn't Soundwave have just closed the Groundbridge portal behind Airachnid? That way, she couldn't control the Insecticons and they could stay as a part of the Decepticon forces.
@@zcgamerandreacts2762 it’s her unknown power that somehow lets her take command over bug decepticons. And i feel like she would be able to do it from far away. Considering the insecticons only stopped attacking the cons once Aracnid went into a stasis pod in the Starscream clone episode
@@purgeblue I always wonder what the insecticons think of her in her absence, do they maybe hate her or something? Because when she stopped controlling them, they clearly saw Megatron as their actual leader.
@@lokekennee8850 cause the insecticons are decepticons. They don’t hate Airachnid, she just have some form of mind control ability on them that is unexplained. As we see in orion pax 3, Megatron reacts to when the insecticon on cybertron wakes up from stasis when Jack and Arcee go to vector sigma.
@@purgeblue I know why they see Megatron as leader, but I’m wondering whether, say Hardshell for example, hates her for using them as pawns, I’m sure they realise they’ve been used when they wake up from it wouldn’t they?
Does anyone else notice that Knockout’s line “after battling Autobots all these years, getting smacked down, shot at, blown up, this is how our lights go out “ is the EXACT same line Arcee says in season 1 episode 7 at minute 18:14? She just said ‘cons instead of autobots. I knew it sounded familiar !
13:10 *"He infuse Silas with a cocktail comprised of Dark and Synthetic Energon, creating a monstrous mutation which is now on the verge of turning your entire crew. INTO MINDLESS ENERGON SUCKING TERRORCONS!!"*
I do not know from what madness your yarn spraying Starscream,But if I learn that you have been dabbling with my dark energon stores again, Attempting to infuse yourself with it's Formidable Power.
@@jaybowo7159 there was one insecticon I don't know it's name but when he challenged her he got her pinned to a wall and tore her spark out and before you know it the others were free from her control over them.
Okay... Dark Energon = reanimates dead Cybertronians Dark Energon + living spark = symbiosis with reanimated Cybertronians Dark Energon + Energon fuel = self-awareness for a ship Dark Energon + Synthetic Energon = Vampiric mutation in Cybertronians Have I missed anything?
,,Humans in any form cannot be relied apon.'' says the bot from which a human girl has stolen the Apax-Armour and punched the scrap out of him with it. When does he learn not to underestimate humans?
See, zombies ARE adaptable, not only they come with organic zombies, but also robot zombies, if the kind of zombie virus infects flesh, it can also infect machines like a computer virus. Like in DreamWorks Spooky Tales about Carrot zombies.
So did I, he tried to join the Decepticons, gets turned into a science project to get poked and prodded, I honestly hated that, I liked the idea of him being a Decepticon, but then in this one he was in so much agony he was literally begging Starscream to help him, fed too much Synthetic Energon, and then got turned into a mix of Zombie and John Carpenter’s The Thing
Kinda surprised that they didn't do anything else with this after this episode considering the autobots eventually win the war I wonder what happened to her.
She more than likely died on that moon due to an eventual lack of energon to consume. The insecticons weren’t infinite and she probably ran out of them fast.
I think there was a comic, how Arachnid lured remaining insecticons from planet to the moon with her "Bluetooth connection to them" but some of them were not happy about it, they knew it was practically doom and were trying to deny her will and find a cure to this plague.
Am I the only one who’s gonna mention that Soundwave stranded Arachnid in Cybertron’s fricking moon?!?! That’s thousands of light years from earth!! Ngl tho I do like the design of Cybertron’s sun, pink.

Always loved the small lore details. Arachnid thought the Cons were the ones who put Silas in Breakdown when it was really his former followers. She had been stasis during the incident with Nemesis Prime and Project Damocles
You know looking into this episode further it’s interesting to think about if the terrorcons actually would be under megatrons control if it wasn’t for the synthetic energon maybe megatron dispite losing most of his fodder soldiers could easily replenish them with zombies if necessary
He did do that remember? The first season he revived a whole bunch of them but never really got the chance they got blown up. Plus they wouldn’t really do much unless they had the synthetic energon which was the problem in the first place
You know what? The vehicon troops have declined in number due to the battles with the Autobots over the years AND due to the undead Silas yet I've always wanted to know where Megatron keeps getting the troops from because he has a seemingly endless supply. His ship isn't big enough to fit (possibly) millions (if not billions) of vehicon troops on board and I doubt he secretly has some stashed all across Earth so, again, where do the troops keep coming from? I also wanna know what happened to Airachnid and the Insecticons after that episode.
There's a theory that Megatron has something like a building line on the "Nemesis" for these troops, since they are basically giant walking roombas with guns and an artificial substitute for a real Spark
@@chadsaturday3300 No, but that would make for a rather…*interesting* hentai. I think in reality, they just cannibalized on each other until every drop of energon was gone.
The funny thing is this episode shouldn't even be happening the way it is, If any of the Decepticons are paying attention to the security or patrolling the Hallways in groups of 2 or 3 and actually communicating with each other, then Terrorcon Breakdown should have been found already, the troops would have alerted Megatron immediately and they would have sealed off any parts of the ship to prevent and infected cons from infecting anyone else. all it takes is for one con to look at the cameras and see a random Breakdown wandering the halls...
I'm assuming its tactics are to hide and only reveal itself once it has the numbers to truly become a formidable and numerable threat,notice how Terrorcon Breakdown/Silas is sneaking around before he had infected enough Vehicons? These things can also retract their tentacle things as a temporary disguise so by the time you realize whats going on its too late.
8:39 *Me:* Um, Screamy? Those... so-called highly-trained Vehicon Troopers? They just have as much of a success rate as IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS ACTUALLY HITTING A TARGET: *ZILCH!*
20:45 “Allow me to explain things, in a manner which I know you will understand” Nah this is how my dad is before beating my ass after I get in trouble 🤣🤣😭
I wonder how Arachnid sounds like her normal self but she isn’t. If anything the fact that she needs to feed for energon adds the the spider aesthetic. Seeing how spider drink blood of insects, but in this case insectocons
Autobots infestation: Scrapheap Autobots found a relic in Antarctica and it was scraplets trapped and escaped. Causing havoc in the base and leaving Prime and Arcee stranded in the ice. Bulkhead managed to lure them back out with the help of Jack, Raf and Miko. Decepticons infestation: Thirst Starscream manipulated Knockout to give Cylas Dark Energon with the Synthetic Energon already injected in him. He broke free due to the combined effects and turning the troops into terrorcons and causing Megatron to become involved. Cylas then freed Airachnid from her stasis pod she was put in from her battle with Arcee and she took control of the Insecticons to which Soundwave spacebridged her and the hive across the galaxy. This ended with Megatron being deeply aggravated with Starscream for his actions.
Starscream:use your head knockout this ship is crawling with highly trained vehicon troopers armed for combat Me who has watched every episode of this show up till now No,no they are not😂
I like how Megatron just chats with the Decepticons every now and then

Considering all the trouble Starscream and Knockout get into you’d think Megatron’s default response to them approaching him in a panic would be “What have you done THIS time?”

@@tdpuuhailee8222 ok so we know that the other character refers to the dark energon infusion in the ship so I assumed in order to see if it made a deference he would add the same amount of synthetic energon like some science change what’s in something but not the amount of liquid used like if the first test was 10ml of different substances like water and molten iron the nest might be 10ml of mucury and molten gold

@@andresrodrigue7681 yeah, Starscream actually did a pretty good job at leading in this show, he had some victories and still some defeats, not to mention he didn't abuse his soldiers but actually had some respect for them and he even nearly killed Optimus, essentially he did more in 2 months than Megatron did in 200 years
@@andresrodrigue7681 I feel like he kinda deserves it here because this incident was partially his fault due to being overly ambitious with their super solider project.
@@shyguygaming5397 listen man Starscream just wanted the leader of the Deceptacon’s is that so much to ask for and if he is leader he could win the war again the Autobots and he is always being mistreated and underestimated
Perhaps he heard what happened by reading reports or just catching up on the news.
21:17 You know……If Prime hadn’t ended….:We could’ve had the craziest apocalypse inducing Zombie arc on Cybertron.
Couldn't Soundwave have just closed the Groundbridge portal behind Airachnid? That way, she couldn't control the Insecticons and they could stay as a part of the Decepticon forces.
Nah because the Insecticons are always loyal to her.
@@zcgamerandreacts2762 it’s her unknown power that somehow lets her take command over bug decepticons. And i feel like she would be able to do it from far away. Considering the insecticons only stopped attacking the cons once Aracnid went into a stasis pod in the Starscream clone episode
@@purgeblue I always wonder what the insecticons think of her in her absence, do they maybe hate her or something? Because when she stopped controlling them, they clearly saw Megatron as their actual leader.
@@lokekennee8850 cause the insecticons are decepticons. They don’t hate Airachnid, she just have some form of mind control ability on them that is unexplained. As we see in orion pax 3, Megatron reacts to when the insecticon on cybertron wakes up from stasis when Jack and Arcee go to vector sigma.
@@purgeblue I know why they see Megatron as leader, but I’m wondering whether, say Hardshell for example, hates her for using them as pawns, I’m sure they realise they’ve been used when they wake up from it wouldn’t they?
Does anyone else notice that Knockout’s line “after battling Autobots all these years, getting smacked down, shot at, blown up, this is how our lights go out “ is the EXACT same line Arcee says in season 1 episode 7 at minute 18:14? She just said ‘cons instead of autobots. I knew it sounded familiar !
funny you say that, since both episodes are horror-themed but centered around different factions.
This show did have it's dark moments 😱
Well the show IS dark
This show taught me robots can bleed while they die.😀
RIP Cliffjumper.
Wish it had more!
Cliffjumper dies in like,the first episode
Human Factor for me was much darker. This is hilarious
5:59 - I always imagine Knock Out saying: "Just remember. This was your idea. If anything goes sideways after this, you're the one to blame."
“Megatron will undoubtedly hold us responsible….”
“But… WE ARE!” 🤣
It's true
20:53 The pathetic sqeak of someone who knows they're screwed.
And they're about to get battered
those deep breathes he takes before the squeal immediately told me that starscream knew megatron was about to tear him a new cybertronian asshole
the ending actually scared me as a kid.
When has Knockout had the time to watch human horror films?
He has a lot of leisure time, we even watch him go to a race, so he obviously has or had the time
19:45 just walks off like a badass
Soundwave: (in his mind while walking away) "That eight-legged bug will never learn."
He is walking like nothing happened

Okay...
Dark Energon = reanimates dead Cybertronians
Dark Energon + living spark = symbiosis with reanimated Cybertronians
Dark Energon + Energon fuel = self-awareness for a ship
Dark Energon + Synthetic Energon = Vampiric mutation in Cybertronians
Have I missed anything?
That’s actually completely accurate so no you haven’t left anything out
Nope not that I can think of
Red energon - super fuel
@@ArchVileManicaI can't imagine what dark energon will do when mixed with red energon.
This version of the synthetic energon wasn't exactly the completed formula.

Autobots get scraplets, Decepticons get terrorcons.
That´s because the Decepticons engage in more dangerous experiments.
Yeah and the scraplets were found in the artic inside a pod for eons ago
Energon sucking terrorcons
This is the first time they showed a human die on screen.
Easily best episode of Transformers Prime.
6:19 "Its Alive"

Knockout/Starscream is an absolutely MEME duo.
The closest thing we got to a halloween special in this show
While not a Halloween episode it has enough horror tropes to warrant watching it in October
,,Humans in any form cannot be relied apon.'' says the bot from which a human girl has stolen the Apax-Armour and punched the scrap out of him with it. When does he learn not to underestimate humans?
And drilled in the face
And prior to that, a bunch of humans knocked him out and took his T-cog.
And in the Transformers Cinematic Universe, Starscream is killed by a human...
20:52 When your dad is about to whip you a belt.
See, zombies ARE adaptable, not only they come with organic zombies, but also robot zombies, if the kind of zombie virus infects flesh, it can also infect machines like a computer virus. Like in DreamWorks Spooky Tales about Carrot zombies.
This is more like a zombie and a vampire mashed together. You know, seeing as how they are draining blood.

The way Terracon Silas appears with its mouth and tongue-thing really looks like the design of the Strigoi from "The Strain".
That's why I saw them too similar.
17:42 I know he was REALLY bad but I felt bad for him here
So did I, he tried to join the Decepticons, gets turned into a science project to get poked and prodded, I honestly hated that, I liked the idea of him being a Decepticon, but then in this one he was in so much agony he was literally begging Starscream to help him, fed too much Synthetic Energon, and then got turned into a mix of Zombie and John Carpenter’s The Thing

I love seeing the Decepticon bastards panickin'!
Kinda surprised that they didn't do anything else with this after this episode considering the autobots eventually win the war I wonder what happened to her.
She more than likely died on that moon due to an eventual lack of energon to consume. The insecticons weren’t infinite and she probably ran out of them fast.
I think there was a comic, how Arachnid lured remaining insecticons from planet to the moon with her "Bluetooth connection to them" but some of them were not happy about it, they knew it was practically doom and were trying to deny her will and find a cure to this plague.

Then everyone would be screwed
What if shockwave is in this episode and get infected
Then the Decepticons would've lost the war a lot sooner.
Megatro? O.o But..
Starscream will crying like bitch
Always loved the small lore details. Arachnid thought the Cons were the ones who put Silas in Breakdown when it was really his former followers. She had been stasis during the incident with Nemesis Prime and Project Damocles
You know looking into this episode further it’s interesting to think about if the terrorcons actually would be under megatrons control if it wasn’t for the synthetic energon maybe megatron dispite losing most of his fodder soldiers could easily replenish them with zombies if necessary
He did do that remember? The first season he revived a whole bunch of them but never really got the chance they got blown up. Plus they wouldn’t really do much unless they had the synthetic energon which was the problem in the first place
4:40... "Wait, I'm a fool."
Yes, you are Starscream. Just not in the way you thought
bro the memories of this episode are coming back all at once
You know what? The vehicon troops have declined in number due to the battles with the Autobots over the years AND due to the undead Silas yet I've always wanted to know where Megatron keeps getting the troops from because he has a seemingly endless supply. His ship isn't big enough to fit (possibly) millions (if not billions) of vehicon troops on board and I doubt he secretly has some stashed all across Earth so, again, where do the troops keep coming from?
I also wanna know what happened to Airachnid and the Insecticons after that episode.
There's a theory that Megatron has something like a building line on the "Nemesis" for these troops, since they are basically giant walking roombas with guns and an artificial substitute for a real Spark
Airachnid BREDED WITH THEM.
@@FermionsQuarksLeptonsBosons Wait hold up...IS THAT TRUE!?
After she sucked the life of the las Insecticon, she died of thirst. that is a given.
@@chadsaturday3300
No, but that would make for a rather…*interesting* hentai. I think in reality, they just cannibalized on each other until every drop of energon was gone.
11:10 They haven't noticed an unusual activity, they ARE the unusual activity!
Hey now, there's no need for opinions.
I love this episode my favorite one in this show 🤣🤣
Knock out watches horror films? I love him. Looool not a waste of time. Seems to me KO really likes what Earth has to offer him
Starscream and Knockout becoming besties in the mist of the very Terracon Apocalypse they cause🤣
The funny thing is this episode shouldn't even be happening the way it is, If any of the Decepticons are paying attention to the security or patrolling the Hallways in groups of 2 or 3 and actually communicating with each other, then Terrorcon Breakdown should have been found already, the troops would have alerted Megatron immediately and they would have sealed off any parts of the ship to prevent and infected cons from infecting anyone else. all it takes is for one con to look at the cameras and see a random Breakdown wandering the halls...
I'm assuming its tactics are to hide and only reveal itself once it has the numbers to truly become a formidable and numerable threat,notice how Terrorcon Breakdown/Silas is sneaking around before he had infected enough Vehicons? These things can also retract their tentacle things as a temporary disguise so by the time you realize whats going on its too late.
Anyone else find it funny how Knockout is a doctor and he’s using movies as a ‘How To’?
8:39
*Me:* Um, Screamy? Those... so-called highly-trained Vehicon Troopers? They just have as much of a success rate as IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS ACTUALLY HITTING A TARGET: *ZILCH!*
To be fair, stormtroopers have killed alot of rebels during the civil war so...
This was one of my favorite episodes!!

How did knockout know what a vampire was yet Bulkhead wasn't familiar with a dragon?
He said he watched movies at drive-in theaters meanwhile Bulk prolly never did that
Knockout thought the vehicon was a zombie cuz he said to aim for the head
I wonder how Arachnid sounds like her normal self but she isn’t. If anything the fact that she needs to feed for energon adds the the spider aesthetic. Seeing how spider drink blood of insects, but in this case insectocons
@CrossTrooper-7589 Now. Terrorcon airachnid he is dead, killed by smokescreen and arcee.
And just like that Starscream did more damage to the Decepticons than the Autobots ever could
Even though I’m sophisticated, I love this episode. This teaches all of us. One thing don’t mess with voodoo.
It’s vampires, not zombies, Knock Out!
Autobots infestation: Scrapheap
Autobots found a relic in Antarctica and it was scraplets trapped and escaped. Causing havoc in the base and leaving Prime and Arcee stranded in the ice. Bulkhead managed to lure them back out with the help of Jack, Raf and Miko.
Decepticons infestation: Thirst
Starscream manipulated Knockout to give Cylas Dark Energon with the Synthetic Energon already injected in him. He broke free due to the combined effects and turning the troops into terrorcons and causing Megatron to become involved. Cylas then freed Airachnid from her stasis pod she was put in from her battle with Arcee and she took control of the Insecticons to which Soundwave spacebridged her and the hive across the galaxy. This ended with Megatron being deeply aggravated with Starscream for his actions.
