Optimus Prime is leading the Autobots
Megatron returns

Group of Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave
Well maybe this is the G1 aspects referred to? But I'm with others on this, it's a bit boring having these same characters, the show better be unique it's it own right to hold our attention!
Exploring the characters in new and different ways
Seibertron wrote:People behind the show really do get it
Seibertron wrote:Currently working on the last few scripts of the first season
26 episodes initially
CakeMix Studios
Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as voice actors
Doing a more "softer, evil side" voice for Megatron
Cullen: privilege to work with Welker
Showed video clip of Cullen and Welker talking about each other, how great it is to work with each other again, and them doing a recording session together. Pretty awesome.
Megatron has some classic elements to his look. Bucket head, arm cannon. G1 is biggest reference.
Prime looks like a cross between movie prime and WFC Prime.
Can't reveal other voice actors at this time.
Megatron transforms into a jet. He is not an Earth vehicle. Very space age looking jet. Cybertronian technology. Lot of fire power.
Goal is around 65 episodes to offset the cost of creating the CG models
Seibertron wrote:Really focused on the G1 point of view
If you're a fan of TFA or Beast Wars, there might be some nods to those series in first season but focus is G1

Not sure what it will air on internationally and Canada
Seibertron wrote:Yes there will be humans. Show is bot-centric however.
Alluded to there being a macguffin
Seibertron wrote:Optimus Prime transforms into a aemi-truck similar to the movie
Bumblebee transforms into a Camaro looking car
Megatron transforms into a jet similar to the 1st movie jet
Look of the robots reminds me of the movie, but stylized (ala the Bumblebee images we've already seen)
Seibertron wrote:Bulkhead's alt mode pulls from the "lore". Assuming he will have a mode similar to his TFA self.
Arcee will have one bot humanoid mode. Will NOT be like ROTF version.
Cliffjumper will have his own bot mode. Not a Bumblebee repaint
Susan Blu was directing Welker and Cullen in video they showed us. Could she be Arcee?
The Hub channel debuts 10-10-10 (October 10th, 2010). Transformers: Prime might not initially debut with the channel and might be a month or two behind the channel's launch.
That's it! On to the Hasbro Marketing Review and Q&A panel that all of you are anxiously waiting for.

Feel free to prove me wrong show creators.

What does "macguffin" mean? Sorry, me internationale...
gigazarak wrote:Does it refer to an over-arching storyline? I guess that fits with the 65 episode commitment. I wonder how many "plot coupons"(macguffins) will need to be "traded in for a dénouement" over 65 episodes!?

gigazarak wrote:Thats good, in a way, and contradicts the fact that it's claiming to be GEEWUN, because it's a different take on the origin on the TFs on earth that G1 setup, maybe it's G1 in other ways? and not just a retelling of the G1 series, oh well, we can only hope for that one day, maybe when I'm in my 70's?
gigazarak wrote:...and people before didn't? Are they saying that SOME writers don't research their subject matter thoroughly before writing their stories? Or is that they just don't care about what came before? Or is it a case of wanting to do something different? TF:A was the best yet at explaining all of these different viewpoints, what a success! It just needed a more teenager-focussed artwork style!
gigazarak wrote:It's a "goal" not a commitment, if the show bombs, I'm sure they'll "review" this number... But still, thats a LOT of episodes
gigazarak wrote:Well that's a given! Who cares about those international viewers!? Besides, there's only ONE way people from outside of the U.S. of A get their TV. Yeah, I think you know what I mean.
gigazarak wrote:The whole stylisied movie deisgns thing could work pretty well, it could also suck pretty hard, previous attempts at CGI TF tv shows have been painful, I remember the way Roadbuster/Iron hides feet DIDN'T move as he walked!(in Superlink/Cybertron) But I guess thats just the nature of a brickformer model being casually stuffed into a 3D program and moved around with a limited bones system!
