Hey all, so we;ve gotten some new-sh character photos for TF prime including a well lit one of Megatron. Link is below, but i wont be talking about all photos.

Ok so the first photo i'm commenting briefly on is the "main cast shot" which is the thumbnail for the post, which you should expand. anyway, So it appears bumblebee isnt in the core 4. interesting. Rather, the core 4 is Cliffjumper, Arcee, Ratchet an Prime. We knew the last 2 were obvious choices for main groups, but Cliffjumper and Arcee are interesting. Arcee's characterization in the movieverse sux, and while she got a fiar amount for a periphreal charater in TF Animated, i like that she's in the main group, maybe that allows her to be charcaterized smartely. we'll see, i dont know whos voicing her. Cliffjumper is an interesting choice for the main cast for sure, i'm intrigued to hear his voice and see how he is characterized. I like the look of him in both modes, and, dont worry thats one of his hands in front of Prime. I reallylike ethe look of Prime and Ratchet, the latter looks like a tough guy medic and Prime look like a powerful, ominous strong leader bot. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Cast-Group_1281651540.jpg
Ok, onto the photo of Megatron (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Megatron_1281651540.jpg). I get a feeling of pure evil form this, maybe its the red eyes and the snarling face. that and hearing the voice Frank Welker is dogin from that clip from TFCon has me amped about this Megatron. I just love the evil aesthetic from him, that has a slight animated influence in the head, but exactly how, i cant point out.
Bumblebee: Alt mode: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Bumblebee-Car-Front_1281651540.jpg Robot: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Bumblebee-Robot_1281651540.jpg really digging both, loved the abnormal stripe patterning in alt mode and the exposed engine (cue a hot rod repaint/remold!).
ratchet: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Ratchet_1281651540.jpg : i just really dig this desgin, nuff said.
Decepticon Trooper (a.k.a. cannon fodder): http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Transformers-Prime-Trooper-Car_1281651540.jpg : other than the batmobile/ Movieverse lockdown aesthetic on this alt mode, i really dig this. if they make him a toy, he's gonna be troopbuilt.
Here's an idea, what if they made the TF: Prime models as fodder for botcon toys? They could then release variants to the general public. and maybe the botcon ones would only be slightly more show accurate.
