And Ped:

[OptimalOptimus2]

why would i rest easy about optimus? who wants a show about bb?

Hasbro Studios, apparently.

And kids too.

Bumblebee, recently, seems to be the most famous Transformer/Autobot of all time.

[Nemesis Maximo]

Nemesis Maximo, you wanna know where to find the picture? Simply google it by typing Terrashock's Garbage Truck Altmode and press Enter. Then click on the TFW2005.com link to go to the site. Then, scroll down until you see the image of Terrashock's actual altmode, and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

That's a lot of work when you could just paste the pic here. Today is my day off, you see, and I intend to do as little as possible. So there.

Also:

...Terrashock's Garbage Truck Altmode...

He's obviously a...garbage truck. I'm not sure why you're confused.

It's the merchandising and writing of the live action films. In Animated, he shared the same amount of spotlight as everyone else, and in Prime he was a minor character and a plot device up until "Deadlock."

The picture of Terrashock`s altmode posted by william-james88 moments ago is a truck. But it is really a garbage truck or a dump truck?

You know, why not just wait for the show to come out instead of asking all these things prematurely? What good is there knowing about all this stuff now when that would ruin the surprise of a lot of it?

Its a garbage truck. It reminds me of this

Since Steeljaw is the new leader of the Decepticons, is Terrashock the muscle for the Decepticons, along with Underbite, or that only Underbite is the main muscle for the Decepticons?

Why not let the show tell you itself?

Any question you have, the answer is invariably "We don't know yet."

Annnd there we go. That's why this show just rubs me the wrong way. I rewatched a few Prime episodes to refresh my memory, and nowhere in Prime is Bumblebee more capable or more special than anyone else on the team. It's incredibly jarring for him to suddenly be important enough to be the lead when there's little to no lead up to it.

But you have to watch the last episode and the predacon rising movie. Bumblebee gets a sudden huge boost in importance as he upgrades from scout to warrior with Smokescreen telling him he could be Prime one day. Looking at this albeit forced turn, this new series makes total sense.

I don't know if you realize this or not, but we DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN YOU DO. This website isn't the weird omniscient cabal you seem to think it is. It is not here solely to answer your pointless questions.

In addition to what william-james88 said about "Deadlock" and Predacons Rising, Bee had a few episodes in which he was given some highlighted moments, such as the "Operation Bumblebee" two-parter and when he singlehandedly outsmarted and defeat Airachnid all by himself in "Partners". Bee had his moments, they were just more subtle than most..

Plus, whenever he guest stars in Rescue Bots, he is treated like a celebrity by that show's cast, and for good reason. He is awesome in that show, even without his ability to speak properly.

Though, as Optimus had abolished the Prime rank as being the single highest power of authority on Cybertron, it isn't likely that Bumblebee is the new "King of Cybertron" or whatever. He's more likely akin to Optimus Primal or Animated Optimus, being the captain or boss of a smaller unit while other bots hold political positions of office or high military rank.

He's the star of this show, yes, but likely not the head honcho that Optimus was. The show's just gonna focus on him because he's special in the real world, even if he isn't special in the fictional world.

Just like the Autobots, are the new Decepticons for this new series also a young group? If so, how young are they?

[Whiplash33]

don't get me wrong I always love a good megaton and Optimus fight but right now I like bumblebee as the new autobot leader and the decepticon's I absolutely love the new ones so far except clampdown and I really want some new decepticon info during toy fair

Why do you keep asking questions that you know we don't have the answers to?

Dude, let it go. I didnt realise only until recently that very young people are also on these boards. For all we know, we may be talking to someone who's 10,11 or 12. That would explain both the level of excitement and lack of understanding of the knowledge of this board.

Well, he's been on the board since 2008 (since which time he's continued this endless inquisition for six years straight) and has shown to have an educated detailed knowledge of things like human evolution and interrelation between species producing genetic hybrid species (such topics which aren't covered until the latter levels of academia higher than those taken by pre-adolescent children, in courses devoted to anthropology and Earth sciences, and most commonly found in college institutions), as well as knowledge from the production side of anime that aired on TV back in the late 90's/early 2000s, so I would be very surprised to learn of psj333 being so young as 10-12 (since that would put him at Age 4-6 when he first joined and began his unanswerable questioning).

To be fair, knowing about shows that aired before you were born isn't uncommon in this day and age. But at the same time, being persistent about a line of thinking despite being told it's totally pointless is not restricted to any particular age. (Rodimus2006 was in his 30s, if you recall)

I just meant to say that you never know what the deal with someone is and thus shouldnt let it get to you. Yes, persistantly asking random questions may be annoying and done in ill intent, but it can also be a sign that the person has a mental handicap. You never know, thats all I meant by all this.

[psj333]

When I say that the Decepticons are a young group, I was talking about the ages of the fans. I was only talking about the ages of the characters in the series.

If you reread that sentence, you will notice that it is entirely incomprehensible.

[psj333]

I`m sorry. I`ve made a mistake. What I was actually saying is that when I was talking about the ages of the Decepticons, I wasn`t talking about the ages of the fans. I was only talking about the ages of the Decepticons. Got that, now? We do already know that Bumblebee have assembled a team of young Autobots. Is Steeljaw's team also young, as well? That's the only thing that I'm trying to ask. I'm only asking the ages of the characters from the show, not the fans who are watching the show.

Oh we understood that, we were just saying that we have no clue because nobody knows this yet until the show comes out, and thus it isnt worth asking.
