SlyTF1 wrote:I hope the new guy is Shockwave. Because he's still back on Cybertron. And in G1, Shoakcwave was left back on Cybertron by Megatron, so if It's not just some random steroid induced drone, I think there's a pretty good chance of it being Shockwave. Then again, I'd expect him to have a circular eye since Prime never strays too far from the original designs with more iconic characters.

First-Aid wrote:Some people see Optimus as being boring. To me, he is stoic, jaded by years of war, and wizened by tens of millions of years of existance. Seriously, could you imagine fighting a war for that long? And have you ever seen someone who has experienced combat fatigue and shell shock? Combat fatigue drains emotion and leads to expressions of emotional detachment. You can't let yourself get close to anyone since you've seen so many comrades die. You are in a position of leadership so you must remain strong and stoic in the face of infinite adversity.

First-Aid wrote:Another little note i thought of: the series has spent a great deal of time exploring the relationship of the kids and their Autobot counterparts. I may be in the minority, but I am very impressed with what they have done with Jack's character. Jack has earned the attention of Prime as a mentor and Arcee as a sister-figure, as well as seeing the other two kids look to him as a leader.

Then explain how Bumblebee and Ratchet have also been involved in the same war for just as long as Optimus, and yet they can still express wide ranges of emotions and personality aspects. They're veterans too, and have been fighting alongside Optimus for nearly just as long as he has, living through the same experiences and such.

Easy. Neither Bumblebee nor Ratchet have had the burden of leadership, neither do they feel the responsibility for Cybertron's condition as much as Prime would. If this timeline is correct (in that Shockwave discovers dinosaurs as mentioned in the FoC backstory for Grimlock), then that means Prime will have held the burder of leadership for even more than the original G1 Prime...assuming that Shockwave viewed dinosaurs in real time at the same time as he created Grimlock and the others...around 75 million years. Even if not that long, his world is far different than the G1 Cybertron and as such his character will be completely different from G1 Prime so we can't compare that character to this one. He would have to suppress soo much emotion it could give him a very stoic, emotionless demeanor. Think of it as a Vulcan version of Optimus, having to suppress emotions in order to not be overwhelmed by them.
