Is it quite possible that Longarm and Shockwave will make their return in Transformers: Prime as separate characters? Whether Corey Burton will reprise his role as Shockwave or not, we really don't know. However, I am willing to think that Canadian voice actor, Brian Drummond may possibly voice the new Longarm in Prime, which I think it will be a great choice. If you don't agree that Drummond should voice Longarm, who do you think should voice him instead?

As TF PRime is more movie-verse based, we don't know what to expect.

I don't expect it to be anything like Animated though.

There should be no more than 4 Primes in any Transformers series.

1) Optimus Prime current leader of the Autobots.

2) An elder Prime (like Vector Prime in Transformers: Cybertron) who is either a mentor to Optimus or holds knowledge that the Autobots need to stop the Decepticons and save the universe, or both.

3) A younger Prime (like Rodimus Prime) who takes the mantle of Prime if Optimus Prime dies in the series.

4) An evil Prime (like The Fallen or Nemesis Prime) who is a shadowy villain or could be the true leader of the Decepticons.

That is all a series needs no more of this Longarm Prime, Sentinel Prime, Ironhide Prime, Cliffjumper Prime, etc. It's stupid and pointless.

Cyberstrike, just because Longarm returns in Transformers: Prime, that doesn't really mean that he is a Prime. That was in Animated. Remember, in Animated Prime is a rank and not a title.

Transformers: Prime isn't based on Animated, it's based on the War for Cybertron game and the tie-in book Exodus. If more than one "Prime" appears in the series, I have a feeling it'll only be in flashbacks or Matrix trips.

I know that. IMHO Animated did turned the name of "Prime" into a joke.
