In case you weren't already excited for Saturday's TRANSFORMERS Prime, we asked Duane Capizzi (Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer), for this exclusive Facebook teaser!
"We thought it would be interesting to use a “real time” structure, and pair off the characters in a way that would allow us to explore specific relationships more deeply. We’ve done “epic” – now we're hoping to be both epic and intimate at the same time.
It had been a while since we checked in with the Teens on a more human, interpersonal level (hence ‘TunnelVision’); felt the need to explore issues of “allegiance” via Dreadwing and Starscream (in ‘Triangulation’); as for ‘Triage’ which you are about to see – we were and still are VERY excited about teaming Wheeljack with Ratchet, and bringing Soundwave to the forefront once again in a compelling way; as for the final part in our ‘T’ quadrilogy, know that repercussions from the events of this four-parter will continue to be felt throughout the remainder of the season…"
What do you mean? Looks like they're just flying at night (if that even is a window). Or, are you confusing the side control consoles for windows?griftimus prime wrote:whats going on outside the windows?

Soundwave is Vulcan!
Think about it. Calm , emotionless , loyal , uber skilled with computers , deadly in combat . When he looked at the sword I could just hear a voice saying "Fascinating".
He's like an evil Spock!

Borderline It amazes me who comes up with these scripts. I CHALLENGE THEEE...give me an outline and I will give the fans the lore they are looking for.
Care to elaborate?starscream1974 wrote::CON: I can't stand this depiciton of Soundwave, RIDICULOUS.....
Yeah, this is not G1 Wheeljack, cuz it's a different Wheeljack in a different series.starscream1974 wrote:and as far as WheelJack, THE G1 WheelJack would have had NO chance against the G1 Soundwave...EVER, but different take different era,
I see no resemblance.starscream1974 wrote:Soundwave looks like a rip off Cylon Raider from BattleStar Galactica
"Boring" yes, but "insane"? I don't see it.starscream1974 wrote:BUT YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT TRULY GET'S UNDER MY SKIN......Transformer Prime's depiction of Optimus himself. OFF THE HOOK insanity...
The Matrix is an item of wisdom and purity, not a weapon of mass destruction (unless there's a supernatural force of pure evil, only then does it become a Kryptonite nuke).starscream1974 wrote:although I liked last weeks episode, BUT Optimus should have been able to DESTROY Dreadwing....why don't they tap into the Matrix lore.....with millions of years of fighting knowledge at Optimus Prime's disposal, and not to mention extra POWER.
Um... did you miss their fight during "One Shall Fall"? Neither was holding back and Megatron still got the better of Optimus. Megs would have killed Prime if the other Autobots hadn't stepped in to save him.starscream1974 wrote:The tide is never equal when Prime steps onto the battlefield not even Megatron himself would want to face Prime unless an ambush is there for the taking or Prime is clearly outnumbered.
Optimus outsmarted Dreadwing and buried him under a ton of snow. I wouldn't exactly call that "insulting".starscream1974 wrote:There should be a script competition even for Transformers Prime writers to compete in........THEY WOULD LOOSE.

Okay, here's one. The Autobots decide to turn their human allies into Kiss Players to power themselves up, while the Decepticons summon aid from the Planet Gobotron. Ready, GO!starscream1974 wrote:Borderline It amazes me who comes up with these scripts. I CHALLENGE THEEE...give me an outline and I will give the fans the lore they are looking for.

Sure strongly feels like it.starscream1974 wrote:It's not about living in the past...
And there's plenty of that in several post-G1 series.starscream1974 wrote:its about imagination and creative thinking.
1. Hollywood has nothing to do with Transformers: Prime. Hasbro Studios makes this show.starscream1974 wrote:Unfortunatley Hollywood has ran out of ideas and most shows are directed towards 2 year olds.
Sure, because "imagination and creative thinking" must certain equate to "repetition of old ideas without any innovation or development".</sarcasm>starscream1974 wrote:I get that individuals want to be just that and break off from the old....BUT IF ITS NOT BROKEN ...DON'T TRY AND FIX IT...
You didn't say which mode. Since the cyclon Raider was a ship, the Vehicle Mode was logically what first came to mind.starscream1974 wrote:You don't see the Cylon rip off there? COME ON in robot form?? Time to check your eye site, perhaps the Raider should have been left out.....
I said "unless there's a supernatural force of pure evil", which Unicron counts as. The Matrix is only used to destroy things of pure evil and chaos, not natural lower level evils (like Megatron).starscream1974 wrote:here's the deal THE MATRIX is the Autobots Holy Grail and yes it has been a weapon that went nuclear did you not see it blow up Unicron LOL Hilarious.......
The 1986 movie takes place between seasons 2 and 3. Or are you saying to not watch seasons 3 and 4? If so, then, hate to break it you ya, but the G1 cartoon ends well after the movie. If you say to watch from "start to finish" but then say to stop at the movie, then you're being very hypocritical and no one will take you seriously.starscream1974 wrote:Do me a favor younglings.....watch G1 from start to finish then wrap up with the Animated Movie....
And? So have several others here who also like later stuff. Doesn't matter in the long run.starscream1974 wrote:yes been collecting since 1984...
So, you collect stuff from later lines while also speaking out against later lines. I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "shmipocrisy".starscream1974 wrote:yes have all MP's Fansproject..Igear....Perfect Effect......classics.....blah blah...
When has anyone here brought up the toys in this conversation?starscream1974 wrote:its not about that although you with make it out to be.
Speaking of hypocrisy, you've been saying how the original is what we should focus on, yet you say to watch the G1 cartoon? News flash, the G1 cartoon did NOT come first. The G1 Marvel Comics did. You speak of being a G1-originalist yet focus on the cartoon, when the comic preceded the cartoon by several months. By your logic, the comic's coming first automatically makes it superior to the cartoon. Plain and simple.starscream1974 wrote:It's the lore where it originated from which has held up for X amount of years....
Then why bring up the toys in the first place if you've openly admitted that that's not an issue here?starscream1974 wrote:truthfully speaking their is a big diffrence between collectors and fans I get that....for me DOTM figures are not my taste nor are many others.
Do your own homework. Again, Hollywood has nothing to do with this.

First true thing you've said thus far. Prime can indeed be so much better, but not for the reasons you've given.starscream1974 wrote:I am happy to know that you support the cause Private's and by all means enjoy TF Prime...I know I do, but it could be soooo much better.
Take your own advice and you'd see that not only are War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron NOT based in G1, but are also in direct conflict with the G1 cartoon, ignoring and outright defying several key aspects of it, such as how Orion Pax became Optimus Prime, how the Dinobots were created, how Trypticon was created, and so much more.starscream1974 wrote:High Moon Studios did their homework to an extent and look they brought in tons of fans....was it the best game...no...did it have potential..YES....could they build of it....they were given a second chance.....but we all deserve second chances. so don't be a and study some History.
You're only making yourself look worse, man.starscream1974 wrote: Blowing bubbles man?......your blowing smoke, wouldn't that be the obvious?
Seasons 3 and 4 came after the movie. Don't ignore them or you're contradicting yourself.starscream1974 wrote:Look to me G1 speaks of what started it all season 1,2 the movie ect ect until ALL OR ONE!!!
You do realize that there was still more after The rebirth, right? Like, Optimus Prime being a Powermaster in the "best of" fifth season, in which he told stories of their history to Tommy Kennedy.starscream1974 wrote:Brudda right up til the Headmaster stuff.
And yet, Optimus Prime never once used the Matrix to win battles against the Decepticons in the G1 cartoon. Nor did Rodimus Prime. They only ever used the Matrix twice in the cartoon, and both were against greater forces of chaos than the Decepticons ever were. If the Matrix was this big superweapon that could swiftly end the war, why didn't Optimus use it in G1? Because THAT'S NOT HOW THE MATRIX IS USED.starscream1974 wrote:I'm just saying for anyone who knows about the lore......THE MATRIX TURNS THE TIDE in the Autobots favor being heavily out gunned and out manned...........who houses the Matrix.....Optimus, hence not even Megatron dare square off with Prime alone......they have strayed from that getting away from the LORE again which is what held all of us 80's kids to their seats..........
You really must have NO idea what you're talking about since the very foundation of not just TF: Prime but the whole Aligned continuity consists of elements taken directly from the past 25+ years of TF history. HISTORY is the very thing that makes the world of TF: Prime be what it is. Take your own advice and go do your own research.starscream1974 wrote:Love the banter, look as time passes the lore / history gets forgotten from generation to generation....

*looks at sabrblade's flurry of blows/posts*
Mate, better stop fast before you go down any further...
Anyways, had to release this into the wild though; if Optimus and Dreadwing were on equal footing in triangulation (granted Optimus gave Dreadwing a chance) and Wheeljack got kicked around by Soundwave, where does this actually put Soundwave? If dreadwing were to confront Wheeljack would the result be the same for the poor Wrecker, or Soundwave has quite a fighting experience that nobody really noticed?
Now I'm stoked of how Shockwave is going to be portrayed in TFPrime...
