Do you guys think Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly) is voicing the Wrecker Commander Ultra Magnus?

Here's why I think this might be...

1. In the three part season 2 opener, Optimus/Orion Pax was working on the files in the Decepticon computers When he searched for any info on Optimus Prime, an image of Magnus was on the screen instead.

2. There's a Cyberverse figure of him (Out now) and a Voyager (Coming soon) that seems to be a brand new mold.

3. In the episode "Loose Cannons" Wheeljack mentioned Wreckers that were now offline (Pyro, Seaspray, Roadbuster, Impactor, Rotorstorm) but did not mention the group's mighty leader.

4. I think Ultra Magnus would add alot to the already impressive season. Maybe he shows up to collect his teammates or something. Maybe he might show up in a flashback for Bulkhead so that we can learn more about his days as a Wrecker.

Neither the actor nor the character are confirmed for appearing in the show.

That was a crude wireframe image of Optimus. Why would a picture of Ultra Magnus show up in an Optimus Prime profile?

Thundertron, Rumble and Kup are also getting new mold toys. Doesn't mean that they'll show up in the show either.

Just means he's probably not dead.

I thought Hasbro said at NYCC last year that he had signed on to do a voice.

No, they said that he's someone who they think would be cool to have as a possible guest voice.

A few other sites misinterpreted this into meaning that he is certainly going to guest star in the show, which is far from confirmed.

After a little digging I found the article. Guess I didn't read it to thorough.
Thanks Sabrblade for the info. Really helped seperate fact from fiction.

Twould still be cool if he showed up.

Though, I'd rather him be voiced by Jamieson Price, as a carryover from his WFC portrayal. I want them to better enchance the connet between the past and the present, and reusing the same voices for each would be a great way to do it (which is why I also want Prime Bumblebee to be voiced by Johnny Young Bosch should he ever get his voice back).
