Transformers Prime : New Recruit
S02, E18(First Aired: September 7, 2012)
Starscream goes on a quest for Red Energon; a new Autobot joins Team prime

hot shot, or prowl anyone? dont say ironhide cause he is not in the show at all it was announced at bot con 2012 so no ironhide.

If this is just Wheeljack officially joining the team, then people will die. On a lighter note, glad to see Screamer back

if it was hot shot, he wouold have unique mold in the toys, my thinking. as a bumblebee repaint, I don't think his animation model would be distinct enough- sergeant Kup, maybe?

I'm going to say Ironhide. Don't you tell me what I can or cannot say.

Besides, how do you know they aren't trying to mislead you?

well, here's a thouoght, too- Ultra Magnus is coming out in Voyager size, and has had a Cyberverse commander version; Could be him, possibly

Didn;t they just show us a Deluxe-Class Kup at Comic-Con??? Ans, since they're recruiting, could this mean that Bulkhead does actually die? And what about Rumble??? "New Recruit" could refer to a new Decepticon- they have been loosing alot lately...

I really hope it is ultra magnus but at the same time we haven't seen a sideswipe but i want to so bad. It will probably be either wheeljack or ultra magnus which is very cool.

the Synopsis of "hurt" says "near fatal" for Bulkhead...plus, you don't see someone wounded in the cliffjumper...er...CliffHANGER only to have them dead in the follow-up- that's against like a law of TV- if anyone can come up with a case to refute it, I'd like to know about it

Ultra Magnus would be good but didn't i read somewhere that Hound was making an appearance?

Well in season 7 of Supernatural the mid season finale ends with Bobby getting shot in the head. The next episode after the break cut back and forth between Sam and Dean with him at the hospital and events taking place inside Bobby's mind and ended with Bobby dying. Granted he came back later in the season as a ghost, but ended with Sam and Dean having to destroy him by the end.
I really like Bulkhead, but if he dies it will shatter the security bubble that the Autobots have and really make a more emotional weight and impact than Cliffjumper's death did, since his character never got to really be developed and you didn't have time to get attached to him.

Red Energon? Cool!

Well, now I have hopes that Bulkhead wont be Arcee's "friend" in Out of the Past.

I want either:

*Ironhide
*Prowl
*Hot Shot
*Ultra Magnus
*Jazz
*or a new flying Autobot. Jetfire? Air Raid? We just need someone who can fly.

And the new Autobot will most likely be portrayed by Nolan North. I'd love it if he came back to do Jazz like he did in the ROTF game.

Or a possible outcome is that Wheeljack joins Team Prime. It doesn't have to be an all new Autobot.

And why is the title "Season 2 Episode 17" when Episode 17 is Out of the Past? This should be Episode 18.

Why cant a Decepticon join the Autobot cause?
Ide love it if Knockout or Dreadwing joined
Yeah, but Im sure its just wheeljack.

OK, good point

I'd love it if Jazz joins the cast. Oh! Or maybe Dreadwing joins the Autobots.

I'd like Jazz too- more than prowl I think

here who see
skyfire
hotrod they need the speed
warpath
tracks
prowl
inferno
jazz
mirage

Dreadwing is far more interesting as an honorable bad guy than he would be as a good guy. and then there's the name.

it's like having a paramedic show up whose nametag reads "fleshripper babymaimer"- are you really gonna let him help you?

Would not mind HotRod or Tracks, but I don't think HotRod, because of his Rodimus prime connection

My bet's on Hot Shot.

That being said, I would LOVE a transformers prime HotRod- I would buy the hell out of that toy

We already have a Hot Rod. His name is Hot Shot, and he's a Bumblebee repaint.

There is no Hot Rod in the Aligned Continuity. It is Hot Shot that becomes Rodimus in this continuity. Besides, they no longer have the rights to the name "Hot Rod," nor would it work because Hot Shot is Rodimus on Cybertron anyway.

The toy further confuses things.

Well, the description says new Autobot. We haven't seen hide or hair of a turncoat since ROTF (correct me if I'm wrong), so this would most likely be wrong.

Red Energon sounds interesting. Perhaps an Aligned take on the rare Super Energon from the Energon line?

In the upcoming episode "Out of the Past," Arcee & Her Friend uncover a feat of Decepticon engineering intending to destroy the Autobots. Red Energon could be just that.

Hardly anything that could mean hope for the Autobots.

Right, I've forgotten about that episode. I think I'll stick to my theory of the second Super Energon until then.
