Reminds me of people trying to get screenshots of Malcolm Holmes in crazy places. My favourite I remember seeing was on the bridge of Mothership Zeta (via TTW) during the final battle.

I feel it's worth mentioning Dark Glass, an unproduced episode for S3. The plot for that episode was Rattrap discovering a memory backup of Dinobot in the Axalon's computers and uploading it into Dinobot II in an attempt to bring the original back. Now, while the episode didn't end up getting made, there's no reason why you can't just pretend it happened off screen. Certainly helps to explain why the clone had some of the originals memories at the end.

Easiest assumption is that a centaur baby develops like a regular horse, since we know she lacks the equipment at the front end, and that the pregnant belly was simply a mistake by the author.

eden_delta

The manga had the belly as well, just double checked it.

"Cyclonus, the warrior, and his armada."

In the scene from the 1986 movie where Unicron reformats the dead Decepticons into Galvatron's new army, the Insecticon Bombshell is shown turning into Cyclonus, with Skywarp becoming an identical copy in the background. However following this scene, "the armada" is never seen again and Cyclonus is depicted as a single robot rather than one with several identical followers, like Scourge and his Sweeps. And so fans have debated ever since as to who ended up becoming Cyclonus, Skywarp or Bombshell.

Also the imprint in the door Laffey left in response to Eugen spilling the booze in the previous part.

I assumed her mom was the one who gave Darling the extra eggs in ch 25. IMO, her hair is a closer match in style and colour to the tree girl than the cop, but that's just me.

eden_delta

Yeah, while they are flawed there are things I would love to see again elsewhere in the franchise. Would hate to lose stuff like Ironhide or the DOTM Wreckers solely because they were part of the movies.

eden_delta

Without digging deeper that would be my assumption, since IIRC there were mentions/comparisons to Megatron's revival in the 1986 movie back when ROTF released.

Never played it myself, but I've watched AH play it enough that I've got enough of grasp on the mechanics to be able to follow along. Hopefully this will help (and that I haven't got too many things wrong typing from memory).

Basic idea is Innocents vs Traitors, kill everyone who isn't on your team to win (e.g. Traitors win by killing all Innocents). Traitors can see each others roles, while Innocent roles are hidden from everybody, with some exceptions.

Innocent team:
Innocent - No special abilities or tricks. Kill Traitors, don't get killed.
Detective - All players know their identity. Can inspect dead players for information such as their identity (Innocent or Traitor?) and how they died. Has access to a special menu where they can buy items like body armor or radar.
Phantom - Any player who kills the Phantom becomes "haunted" and they start emitting smoke. Killing them brings the Phantom back to life.
Mercenary - Has access to a limited version of the Detective menu, and only enough credits to buy one of two items (i.e. body armor or radar, not both).
Glitch - Traitors see the Glitch as another Traitor. Can lead to situations where the Traitors expose themselves by killing an Innocent in front of them, or killing their actual teammate because they assumed the Glitch was the real Traitor.

Traitor Team:
Traitor - Has access to a special menu where they can buy items like body armor and radar, as well as special Traitor-only weapons and traps. Maps also sometimes have special traps or secret areas that only Traitors or Traitor-aligned roles can activate.
Assassin - Is given a specific target at the start of a round, and gets a new target once the previous one is dead. Deals bonus damage against their target, but receives a damage penalty for the rest of the round if they kill someone who isn't their target.
Hypnotist - Has a one-time use "brainwashing" device that allows them to resurrect a dead player as another Traitor. i.e. Kill the Mercenary, turn them into a Traitor.
Vampire - Can turn invisible briefly, as well as eat dead bodies to gain additional health. Bodies that have been eaten cannot be checked by the Detective, but leave behind a pile of bones that indicate a Vampire is in play.
Zombie - Does reduced damage with guns, but also has a special knife (aka claws) that turns another player into a Zombie when killed by it.

Other roles: (only one of these roles can spawn per round, at most)
Jester - Traitors are aware of their identity. Deals no damage when attacking, and receives no damage from things like traps or exploding barrels. Can still be harmed by other players, and if they're killed the round ends immediately and they're considered the winner.
Swapper - Same basic rules as the Jester, however killing a Swapper does not end the round. Instead, the Swapper takes on the role of their killer, while the killer is the one who dies (e.g. Detective Jeremy kills Swapper Jack, Jeremy dies and Jack is now Detective).
Killer - Has a higher then average starting health, as well as access to the Traitors buy menu. They win by killing everyone, Innocent and Traitor alike.

Fingers crossed I haven't forgotten anything too important, and that this helps make future TTT videos easier to understand.

Cubes. The muse variants are separate ships from the original, rather than being alternate skins.

eden_delta

Lore-wise they're the same character, just using modified, musical-themed rigging. "Balti-muse" is still Baltimore, just musical. From a gameplay perspective they're new ships, and so they can be run alongside their regular, non-idol counterparts.

locked chests in prologue areas, especially the mage origin

Pretty sure the locked chests & doors are there for rogue players to get into the groove of picking locks. The mage origin is the only one without any locked items that aren't quest related, (e.g. the storerooms full of spiders). It's also the only origin you can't play though as a rogue, while everything else has that option.

IIRC, the wiki says you can still get her sword and the "Captured!" quest if you just focus your entire party on killing Cauthrien, looting her sword, then letting the rest of her knights kill you. You still get hauled off to Fort Drakon, and Cauthrien still shows up to block your entry into the Landsmeet, which means you could get a second copy of her sword if you wanted.

Though if you sabotage the genophage with Wrex alive, you can listen to Kirrahe give the motivational speech to the troops on Earth instead.

Laser RCW. Love the design, the reload animation, and just the general feeling of running around with a sci-fi tommy gun. Far from the best weapon in the game, but I still love it all the same.

eden_delta

Same. Missed out on getting the one from the beginning of the Generations line, so this guy will be nice to have.

eden_delta

There were also a bunch of idol-themed outfits for several other ships in addition to the 5 Muse variants last time around. Helena could still get one of those alternate outfits instead.

eden_delta

While they may be different units from a gameplay perspective, idol Akagi is still technically Akagi, just using modified rigging. It's not like the carrier & battleship versions of Kaga, where they are different shipgirls.

eden_delta

Didn't the one in the bar have a marker, or am I misremembering?

eden_delta

I actually have not, though I have now and then hacked the Grizzly's turret to use against the Geth in the garage on Noveria. I just prefer tackling the fight on foot, even if it is harder, since you get reduced experience for killing enemies in the Mako.

eden_delta

I was half expecting them to try a rocket landing as a Hail Mary attempt at surviving the drop.

eden_delta

He also seemed to be the only one who went from the table to the armchair using the rolling chair. Everyone else was trying to go straight from the table to the armchair.

eden_delta

We've already got Miia in the game, as two different shipgirls no less.

eden_delta

Specifically added for Anniversary, it wasn't there in the original version.
