I agree with the insect posts... Those mandibles and antenna really give that away. And as far as my earlier post about being all three Insecticons... I was basing it off of this shot...

Prime Insecticons 1.jpg


Red lines showing the standing locations and how they are overlapped with one another.

It felt like we were looking up at the (Bot or Bots) from below as they are leaning in together almost like a football huddle and looking down at us (camera). Then as the camera zoomed up towards them it was then fixed in on the just the center one.
I also went this route due to the lack of symmetry of the shapes and the lights on both sides of the central figure in the fog.

After watching it a few more times I am leaning more towards ONE larger bot like the rest of you... But I am definitely sticking to the insect idea.

I hope it's Shrapnel. I've always loved that character and his creeped out voice.

I saw this in the Hub about a week ago and I knew it had something to do with TF Prime, but I was uncertain.

I'm thinking those look kind of like bird wings.

Can't be an Insecticon. They're Cybertronian animals in this universe. This is what they all look like:

If anything, it's probably most likely Dreadwing, as he's the only major character reveal we've heard about (aside from Wheeljack returning) for season 2.

Looking at it again. Now its head looks shape like the helmet of Beast Machines Megatron. :P

Nearly every Movie Decepticon had "mandibles" of some variety. These days, mandibles seem to be a sign of just "evil" rather than "bug". ;)

But yeah like, I hope he's not Dreadwind though, cause I'd like him to be more like G1 Dreadwind, even if Darkwing isn't there, don't know who this guy'd be though, I'll just wait and see cause really, I got nothin' :oops:, hopefully there'll be better pics later.
There is still a character coming in season 2 named "Dreadwing" regardless.

Those two objects to the sides of the middle object are the guy's huge arms. ;)

What, you think it's a GoBot? :lol:

There's no other show on the Hub that uses this kind of animation.

ehh, its possible they could bring cliffjuper back in a flashback; plus theres a buncha new toys so it might be a saffe assumption that said characters will appear, especially ironhide since he's getting a cyberverse and a deluxe

It is very plausible it is Dreadwing but I catch my self wondering if its not a transformer created by M.E.C.H. after they had captured Breakdown and looked inside him. Opinions?

P.S. I really hope its Waspinator I would blow a nut if it was. Seeing Waspinator getting trashed by Prime and the gang and Megz/Starscream would be so fun.

If I remember correctly the old guy that leads M.E.C.H. made a comment about re-creating the transformer technology at the end of an episode I believe. Maybe even the same one where they looked inside Breakdown. So whose isn't to say he wont create an army of drones/transformers to rule the world or whatever gets him off?

When they announced and unveiled Ironhide, the spelled out that him getting a toy would not guarantee an appearance by him in the show. At least, not right away.

And Cliffjumper being in flashbacks wouldn't count as him "coming back".

Also, might wanna fix the coding on that post. ;)

Well, his appearance in Animated proves that he doesn't have to be the butt monkey who gets blown up all the time. In Animated, he was Nightmare Fuel mixed with a taste of Epicness and Bad-A-double-S-ness (I don't cuss).

Am I mistaken that his eyes are actually gold, rather than the usual blue and red? I wonder if that has significance. Maybe a M.E.C.H. experiment gone wrong? That would be a very interesting and unique origin story for a new Bot or Con...

That is very plausible that they created a transformer with a personality, aka not a drone, and they are not able to control it but you would think M.E.C.H would have been smart enough to put in fail safes when they built it so that it couldn't go rouge.
