Yeah.
Did you even watch Transformers: Prime?
He only ever had a personality when he was playing off Wheeljack or Fowler (such as in that episode you linked to). Every other time he was just "the big one".
He only existed to be the "Big green guy" part of the 5 man band (Hate that trope) which only consists of.
The Optimus (Which is Bee for rid)
The Bumblebee: (Which I guess is Sideswipe this time around in rid)
The Ratchet: (Which I would say is Fixit in Rid but he isn't grouchy)
The Token Chick: ( I would rather be multiple girls or none at all because it's always annoying to think is Arcee the only chick that exists?)
The big guy/big green guy/dumb guy: (Always the same dumb bruiser archetype)
My Perfect starting cast in a Transformers show would probably be a combination of Prime and Rid's so we can have more characters and more varied personalities and roles.
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, Cliffjumper, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Fixit, and Grimlock which is 10 Autobots sounds like a big enough cast without getting to cluttered and unable to give character development, Of course we would get more characters along the way either joining the main cast like Wheeljack or guest stars like Blastwave or Jazz.
