How many factions will we see in TF Prime?

First, the originals :BOT: and :CON: of course. But in later episodes it's clear it will be more than that. Especially with the treatcherous Starscream and Airachnid.

Well, I do love Starscream very much but he have zero skill to recruit allies. So he'll just be a left out rogue that will act like a dog in a bowling alley from times to times. A shame, really.

Then, we have Mercs. With the Nemesis Prime episode, it's clear they will have their own robot army pretty soon. They are already their own faction and they are about to become a major player in the future.

We also have Airachnid. She is now the queen of a large insecticon nest. In Prime, insecticons are dumb but huge and powerful beasts. Can we call that she will be the founder of the Predacons? :PREDACON:

One thing is sure for certain. The :BOT: better find some more allies soon.

Maybe not in the show, but definitely in its continuity. They've already shown up in one of the novels and will have a big role in the Asian MMO set in the cartoon's universe.

I think it's mostly going to be the Autobots, the Decepticons and the Insecticons lead by Airarchnid. Starscream will probably remain on the outside until he can prove himself worthy to serve under Megatron again. Or if Shockwave appears in the show and starts his own faction.

My thoughts exactly. G2 Cybertronians?

Anyway, as for my thoughts on the factions in this series, I think we'll see three main ones:

:BOT: Obviously enough, along with their human allies (world governments included).

:CON: The main group, led by Megatron. Obviously the "bigger bad" here.

MECH The human (cyborg?) rogue faction. Obviously a serious thorn in the sides of the Autobots and their allies, one they take seriously.

I think Starscream's going to continue to operate as an independent for awhile, especially with his issues. As for Airachnid and her Insecticons, I think they'll be a threat for at least one episode, three at the most, and then the writers will kill the army off (possibly Airachnid as well) and that'll be that.

No, not the Cybertronian Empire.

I don't want to give too much away for those who haven't read it yet, but they're introduced in the Exiles novel. ;) ;)

Looks like a very lame logo.

Also spoiler tags help.

It's very fitting for who they are, as it perfectly expresses their ruthlessness and their theme.

I'm pretty sure we'll see 7 and a half factions in TF Prime.



Actually, I'm not that sure, I just got that number from rolling a die.
