Transformers Prime 2.07 Crossfire Promo, Clips
Crossfire, the next episode of Transformers: Prime will air tomorrow night on the Hub. In it "Arachnid and Starscream struggle to control an Insecticon warrior", I assume one that was on Cybertron from the Orion Pax season opener. Considering Starscream lost his Transformation Cog (T-Cog) and more or less exiled from the Decepticons, I assume he may have other plans for the Insecticon. Below is promo and clip for the episode. Images can be found here and here.
