This will be the most greatest season that we will watch.

Hmmm.... well he looks enough like Prowl that if they don't screw up this figure, and they don't release a real Prowl, some paint or a nice Reprolabels kit and a few extra parts could give me the Prime figure I've always wanted!

based on the "38" and the fact that there is a smokescreen repaint of Knockout rumored, as well as the noticeable similarity to knockout in his robot mode (check out the upper chest/torso), Smokescreen seems almost inevitable.

Hooooly sh*#@! Silas looks friggin scary

And the first time i saw the car i thought Jazz, then when i saw the bot mode i thought Prowl, but now i actually think that Smokescreen is more likely to appear. Prime is rather notorious for bringing in and focusing on character names with little to no established backstory, i.e. Skyquake, Dreadwing, Breakdown, Knockout, kiiiiind of Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Arcee, and new namedropped Wreckers

I'm not wondering if the "repaint" part of the Smokescreen toy is false. Vehicle mode looks nothing like Knockout, in fact it looks similar to Wheeljack. And given the few amout of characters in the show, if they cheapen a (supposedly) long term new character to just a repaint, I'll be a bit disppointed (especially since the KO mold isn't that great to begin with)

At the Tokyo Toy Show, in the display of new Transformers: Prime toys coming from TakaraTomy, we saw an unpainted prototype of the Knock Out toy mold labeled as Smokescreen.

Hmmm, any chance that was just a place holder figure? I'm just surprised they'd use Knockout. He's got a fairly large, rounded front end, and the clip shows the new guy having a much more sharp and thin front end. Plus KO doesn't have the air vents in front of the rear wheels like the new guy has. Unless maybe TT is going to use a different name for either the KO repaint or the character in the show, I just see a real stretch tieing Smokescreen as a Knockout repaint, ya know?

They could remold the figure's car parts to make it more unique. Like what Hasbro's doing to Generations Jazz for Sideswipe.

it would not be to hard to remold knockout either. change the chest a bit, rework the legs, new weapon, and a new head.

My thoughts exactly.

Suppose so ... I forgot just how extensive the remold on FOC Sideswipe is. Guess I'm just not used to seeing THAT much remolding on a deluxe figure this often. Usually it's repaint or nothing haha

I'm sorry, but that voice over saying "ain't" has got to be the weirdest thing my ears have tuned in to.

YouTube user drakenpuffs has uploaded a another shorter version of the previously reported Transformers Prime promo featuring the mysterious new Autobot recruit, and it's much higher quality. Check out the embedded video below. Be sure to tune into the Hub this Friday for the new episode "Out of the Past"!

We got Nemesis Prime, a new Bot, Shockwave, Frankenstein (Silas Edition) Cliff and a new time?

Looks like this is my 2nd favorite TF cartoon (the first is G1).

There were alot of clips from previous episodes. I doubt nemesis prime is making a return.

That's definitely Smokescreen with #38 on the side. Awesome!

so sick of mech. what a stupid idea.

hmm. Humans with tech strong enough to be a threat to both Autobots and Decepticons, potentially becoming decepticons themselves? Totally a dumb idea. I'm going to stop watching the whole series because of how dumb this one ineffective concept is.

Wouldn't argue with it. He hates almost everything about this show.

why not? the only thing they need is a way to replicate t-cogs.

What's the point of bringing Nemesis Prime back when they have Breakdown?
