Would not mind HotRod or Tracks, but I don't think HotRod, because of his Rodimus prime connection

That being said, I would LOVE a transformers prime HotRod- I would buy the hell out of that toy

We already have a Hot Rod. His name is Hot Shot, and he's a Bumblebee repaint.

There is no Hot Rod in the Aligned Continuity. It is Hot Shot that becomes Rodimus in this continuity. Besides, they no longer have the rights to the name "Hot Rod," nor would it work because Hot Shot is Rodimus on Cybertron anyway.

The toy further confuses things.

Well, the description says new Autobot. We haven't seen hide or hair of a turncoat since ROTF (correct me if I'm wrong), so this would most likely be wrong.

Red Energon sounds interesting. Perhaps an Aligned take on the rare Super Energon from the Energon line?

In the upcoming episode "Out of the Past," Arcee & Her Friend uncover a feat of Decepticon engineering intending to destroy the Autobots. Red Energon could be just that.

Hardly anything that could mean hope for the Autobots.

Right, I've forgotten about that episode. I think I'll stick to my theory of the second Super Energon until then.

My money is on Prowl.
Jazz would also be awesome, but they have so far built up the ranks by adding bots and cons that bring something new to the personality quotient.
For the Cons.
Airachnid brought the creepy crazy.
Dreadwing, loyalty and honor.
Both were aspects that were missing or in very short supply in the Decepticon dynamic.

For the Autobots Wheeljack brought the loner who didn't automatically worship Prime, a major change.
Now there are several "new" personality traits that could be brought in but one of the more obvious ones is a bot who's devoted to protocol and logic. Optimus has his principles that he sticks to and Ratchet is a bit stiff socially but the hallmark of team prime is their ability to improvise and adapt to the situation at hand.
Enter Mr. Rules and Regs himself, Prowl. Stiff and law abiding. The confrontations with Miko alone would bring a new dynamic to the show. He would probably set off all the characters in one way or another bringing more depth and body to the cast as a whole.

I can see a Prime Prowl in the works. They can probably pull it off using the model of Prowl Jagex is using for Transformers: Universe.

My guess is that it is going to be Jetfire.

Because he has yet to obtain a figure in the Prime lineup (such as Hot Shot, Sergeant Kup, Ultra Magnus, and Ironhide did), he has ties to Starscream, is a scientist (which would benefit Ratchet), and could help introduce the Aerialbots into this continuity.

That, and it would be a bit of a cliche for them to add yet another Autobot that transforms into a ground vehicle... Especially with the Decepticons having a combination of ground-based and air-based characters.

I want to correct you right there - There is no "Hot Rod" in the continuity, but there can be a Rodimus. And with there being more than a single Aligned continuity, they could introduce him as a character that is part of the survivng Wreckers team!

I didn't say Rodimus couldn't be in Prime. However, my point is that he is not going to be Hot Rod nor Hot Shot, as it would not make any chronological sense.

And the Aligned Continuity covers ALL of the games, novels, and shows involved. There is only one Aligned Continuity, that covers Exouds, WFC, FOC, Exiles, Prime, and Rescue Bots in chronological order. Prime isn't an Aligned Continuity, it is an apparatus of the Aligned Continuity.

well, if we are going for align continuity, and including those works...


How about Silverbolt? he's a flyer, and is prominently featured

REALLY enjoying the lively discussion, BTW
