TFWiki, but it originally comes from the Transformers Universe MMO game, which is set in the Prime continuity.

There's also art for Barricade.

And the Transformers Online MMO has art for Defensor and Bruticus.

Though, all these guys appearing the games doesn't guarantee that they'll show up in the show.

Thanks.
And I know...but one can hope.

Not two, but three new Transformers episodes today on the Hub! The action gets started at 9:30 AM ET with back to back episodes of Transformers: Rescue Bots "The Other Doctor" and "The Reign of Dr. Morocco" featuring Tim Curry as Dr. Morocco!

A new scientist on the island tries to replace the rescue team with his new invention, the MorBot, leaving the Burns family and the Rescue Bots out of the action, but Cody searches for proof that the scientist has villainous plans for his new invention

Then come back at 8:30 PM ET for the new episode of Transformers Prime "Triage"! Wheeljack and Ratchet face off against Soundwave in pursuit of another Cybertronian relic.

That first video settles it once and for all for me.

Rescue Bots superior, Prime inferior.

So Soundwave does NOT deploy a blade. All he does is line up his fingers, like Starscream often does, to form a blade-shape. I really like this concept.

Ratchet sounds kinda different here :/ Maybe it's just emphasis. Wheeljack sounds BA. Me gusta.

So it was just those few lines. Aight.

GAAAAAAAAHHH that makes me mad. Wheeljack had him beat until he used a cheat code

Jackie better be alright. Hopefully this'll make him see that he needs a team to survive and stick with Team Prime. If he doesn't survive I'm going to be extremely upset.

Alright so that was a pretty cool episode. Definitely not the way I wanted it to turn out, but still good. Huge win for the autbots though. Gotta wonder what Knock Out was thinking on that zoom.

And Bulkhead... That raises questions indeed.

Interesting episode. And an interesting choice by Ratchet, to give up one Iacon relic for a larger prize. Though I half expected Knock Out, Megatron, or even Soundwave to discover that virus he and Raf implanted in Laserbeak (who is referred to for the first time as such in this episode). But it does show that even Soundwave is fallible - for now.

Nice of them to tie into the last two with "Tunnel Vision" and "Triangulation" - they even kept the damage on Knock Out.

Be interesting see how Bulkhead gets damaged in the next episode.

Ooh, the episode pretty much sets soundwave's type of fighting skill; he's more onto movement and precision when it comes to combat. Note that he's not an agile fighter (that'd be arcee and BB) he's a... finesse fighter of sorts. When Jack buttheads him, you can see that greatly taxed him on recovery as opposed to Megatron or Breakdown getting a direct hit (then again, those dudes are tons of cybertronian metalcake!)

I like these kind of archtype characters (soundwave) really; they exude the same imposing aura like other powerful characters, not because they're strong or one-punch instagib ability, but because they have the skills to match even without their physical strength! Now for shockwave debut... :HEADHURTS:

On the flipside; this is a nice scale comparison for Wheeljack, Soundwave and Ratchet for their figures. I thought I should wait for Soundwave to be of voyager class, but who'd knew that the deluxe toy is more or less scaled correctly as in the cartoon... Anyone noticed how big Wheeljack's Lancia Stratos altmode lookalike is compared to Ratchet? Interestingly funny AND accurate to the toy too! Hmmmm :-?

Just watched this episode tonight thanks to my DVR! This episode was awesome. It was great seeing two 2nd run characters like Wheeljack and Soundwave get some much deserved love. Seeing Wheeljack and Ratchet alongside each other ala G1 was fantastic. It's like they have a best friendship just waiting to happen! Getting to see Wheeljack and Soundwave battle was great as well.

I'm really enjoying Transformers Prime now. It's just a top notch, well written, well acted, well tied together show. I have few complaints about it, other than some minor issues.

Looking forward to the next episode!
