I said they weren't confirmed, which is the reason for the "nor" in the sentence.[/quote]

Is Ultra Magnus turning up in Prime? or just a rumour. It'd be quality if he did!

Ultra Magnus, nor Ironhide, have been confirmed for Prime.

........hmm.

What would you have liked me to say? Ultra Magnus, nor Ironhide, haven't been confirmed for Prime? That doesn't make grammatical sense. The "nor" part of the sentence is really all that is needed for you to know I'm saying that they were not confirmed for Prime.

It's cool.

I think he's asking for a "Neither" to be placed at the beginning of the sentence, as the "nor" by itself looks odd.

Yea dude i'm tired lolz. I got the gist of what you were saying, just something made me go "I know what you mean but that confuses me somehow" I got what you were saying though

With just two weeks to go until new episodes of Transformers Prime return, The Hub has posted on its Facebook page a new teaser image of the next new episode "Hurt" airing on Friday August 24, 2012.

But then you'll miss both the earthquake/hero two-parter and the time-displacement/dystopia two-part season finale of Rescue Bots.

Hnnnnn. Such hard decisions QnQ

The AT&T U-verse program guide gives us a more detailed synopsis of Transformers Prime's return episode "Hurt", which is scheduled to air on August 24th. Be forewarned this summary does contain a spoiler that many of you have been speculating about since the last episode "Toxicity".

Okay, 2 reasons why it's going to be a long week:
FoC is coming out in 7 days,
AND this episode is coming out, and we see what happens to bulk, jacky and miko

Heres to hoping Miko joins Bulkhead in rhe scrapheap.

Wait, so bulkhead DOSN'T DIE, SHOCKING.

Oh wait, whats the complete opposite of that?

This just reaffirms that this show has no guts.

Tell that to Breakdown.

That just furthers my point. They create an interesting character with a backstory and began to expand upon him for a little bit, then he gets ignored, and then they kill him off.

Hmmm....

I'm still rather confused. I'll just wait until the episode airs.

I agree with you there Saberblade. I've loved TF Prime as a series so far, but I've felt there are many characters that are stuck in a rut. Be it Arcee, who quickly went from interesting in the first season, to a predictable loose canon in the second, or Breakdown, who was looking to be a complex Decepticon, maybe even calling in question of his allegiance in the future, and they take him out without even having it tie into him and Bulkheads rivalry.

I can't say I wanted Bulkhead to die, and the character is one of the better ones (I'd hate to be stuck with just Ratchet as the last interesting Autobot) but still, I'd like to see more depth. Get some of these characters out of this rut of storytelling.

And kill of Rafe. I can't tell you how much I hate Rafe.

I tell ya, with Bulkhead, the writers seem to have written themeselves into a corner.

If they kill him off, it would create a sense of emotional shock among the Autobots and shift the show into a new status quo. BUT, at the same time, it would also just further erase the interesting backstory he and Breakdown shared with their rivalry that show had been building upon ever since Breakdown showed up, and then completely dropped after Breakdown got canned.

And with the other way of keeping him alive, it would keep the possibility of exploring said backstory alive and open, BUT it would also keep the show at its exact same status quo it's had for the majority of its run and would rob the show of the opportunity of having a dramatic game changer for the Autobots to forward their development as a whole.

Stalemate.

Best they could do is to at least have Bulkhead gain a permanent handicap from this experience so as to have both a shift in the status quo with a shock drama moment for the 'Bots, and them still be able to visit his backstory.

Don't know who that is, but Raf is here to stay.

Why, oh why did James Roberts mentioning a More than Meets the Eye cartoon for 2013 have to be a joke?

Prime is just dull, which is one of the worst things you can say about any example of media. The Autobots themselves aren't great, and the most interesting Decepticons got little screentime. The humans are friggin' annoying.

As for not killing off Bulkhead, I'm not surprised. Prime doesn't really take many chances, it only appears that they do. Breakdown, Skyquake, and Cliffjumper were all minor characters.

It makes the most sense for Bulkhead to be threatened, as he's the least developed character next to Bumblebee, who's practically mute. He's also the only character on the cast without a G1 analogue, and he just feels non-essential. Arcee's the token girl, Prime's the leader, Ratchet's plot exposition, and Bumblebee's the kid appeal character.

Breakdown was a major character in the series. He was the one of the 7 main cast Decepticons in Prime. So what are you talking about "minor character?"

Bulkhead is not the only character on the cast without a G1 analogue. Sure, he's the only Autobot, but Knock Out & Airachnid join him there as well. Let us not forget Vehicons did not exist in G1 either.

Well, I put all of that in spoiler because I didn't want to break the hidden text he created.

Who's Rafe?

I meant Raf. A misspelling that has become lodged into my brain....

Bulkhead is the only member of the autobot cast who has no G1 analogue, is what I said, hence why I was describing the other autobots.

As for poor breakdown, he'd been getting less and less screentime by the time he got killed off.
And though it doesn't matter much, I'm female, not male.

No, that is not what you said. You said he was the only character on the cast, not the Autobot cast.

Even if Breakdown got less and less screen time, which he did, he was still considered part of the main cast, regardless of that fact.

Apologies for the gender mix-up. That avatar is confusing.
