Hate to break it to you, but they won't be a new character, given that the poster is on the Transformers Facebook page.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:I really hope it's a new character. That poster has some really weird choices on there, and I'd prefer a new Prime. He/She could be "The Arisen" in IDW and be brand new. I don't want to make any of these guys Prime.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
I never implied that. I merely stated that, given what we know, rigging (which I personally don't believe) is one of two possible explanations.Deadput wrote:Autobot N wrote:2. The voting is rigged, and only the "winner" is being designed.
The votings are not rigged stop this misconception.

He's already a Prime. We're voting for someone who isn't a Prime to join the Prime rank alongside the likes of Optimus, Rodimus, Sentinel, etc.Nik Hero wrote:I wanted Rodimus Prime,

Meanwhile, Takara made a new MP Star Saber two years ago that, like MP Primal, Hasbro has thus far ignored. And Hasbro is making a new mold Black Shadow toy, whose original 1989 toy was a retool of Thunderwing. And Deathsaurus is already one of the rumors for Titans Return. So the possibilities aren't quite as obvious as you think they are.Malicron wrote:Hmm, first Takara makes an brand new mold of Optimus Primal, and now he's one of the possible choices to receive a new Hasbro figure?

Swap Deathsaurus with Arcee, and you've got IDW. Deathsaurus is shown to have a very high sense of honor, whereas Arcee is very much a "killing for fun" kind of lady. She's toned it down a bit recently, but her battle style is still very aggressive.Twitchythe3rd wrote:If we assume this goes off of IDW characterizations:
Honor - Hound, Arcee, Primal
Order - Magnus, Megatron, Shockwave
Chaos - Star Saber, Thunderwing, Deathsaurus(?)
Deadput wrote:If most of these characters win this it would their characters outside of Ultra Magnus and Star saber none of these contenders make any darn sense to become Prime
AND WHY ARE THEIR DECEPTICONS ON THIS LIST?
Their have been bad Primes in the past yes but there has never and I mean never been a Decepticon Prime besides Nemesis which in most cases is not a true prime and is just a clone of Optimus.
There is nothing stopping the Prime from becoming one later but don't anyone think that someone who has been a Decepticon since forever suddenly becoming a Prime is a bit absurd even if they become good suddenly and out of the blue?
"I always wanted Shockwave to become a Prime since I was a kid because we all know it was an important and frequently brought up part of his character it only makes so much sense guys he is of course the perfect contender!"
Apparently you're under some unprecendented impression that the Prime rank of IDW is some kind of Autobot-exclusive title and not instead a title that refer to Cybertron as a whole. The war is long over. The old military factions have no need anymore. Even before the war broke out was the Prime rank a title for Cybertronian authority rather than specifically for the Autobot faction.Deadput wrote:If most of these characters win this it would their characters outside of Ultra Magnus and Star saber none of these contenders make any darn sense to become Prime
