Part 4: the transformers Prime panel:
Wow, just wow, i was following the livechat over on TFW2005 loosely for this, and i'm geeking out. mediocre news first
Aparently the network is controlling when the show premieres, the tentative date right now is 10.10.10, but dont look for that to hold.
ok now onto the good stuff:
the show will be character-driven, all CG, and will focus on What it means to be a prime. Additionally it seems the show will be more bot centered an there will be no cheesy human villians
Peter Cullen is voicing optimus. His Autobot mates on earth this go around include Arcee, Ratchet, Cliffjumper (wooo!!! Cliffjumper in a major-ish role!) and bulkhead (need to the the CG model for him, Is bulkhead becoming the modern day version of g1 ironhide?). As long as Bulkhead has a different voice actor, i'll be fine. apparently Arcee is a motorcycle and will look more humanoid. As long as she doesnt look like her ENergon or ROTF self, i'm fine with that. Apparently Prime's look is roughly similar to his WFC look but with a bit of a movieverse aesthetic.
Its in the movie continuity, the decepticon team we know of right now are MEgatron Starscream and Soundwave. Ya for soundwave, but apparently he's not a boombox, so ar ethe going more for the animated soundwave feel? Apparently Frank welker is voing Megatron (insert Fanboy squeal here), supposedly its more of a softer, subdued creepy evil voice. I'm stoked, but wanna hear what the voice sound like, though supposedly the voice from g1 is still part fo the range. Megs is a cybertronian jet with lots of firepower, apparently earth modes are beneath him (please no rehash of movie 1 Megs, please). Megs has classic buckethead, me likey.
26 episodes per season, theyre aiming for 65 episodes. If it starts later than october though, how can they crank out nearly 70 episodes before tf3?
Bulkhead is in the show (again hopefully with a new voice) because of their love for animated. Which was brilliant, buut i hope they give bulkhead a slightly more serious tone and a new voice. Something different from how he was in Animated and during the battles in Energon.
Prime is long nosed style truck.
Bumblebee is a tricked out sportscar like HotShot. Meg's vehicle is veyr aline but very sleek, reportedly like the movie version corssed with armada starscream. Interestign description, which movie jet do me mean, from tf1 or tf2?
Arcee is allegedly going to be a bit sassy and Cliffjumper will get his own charcaterization and look.
I'm intrigued. Are you? Comment below
I'm Zack and this has been TF Musings
