They are the same person. He lost his memory of certain things due to the black hole. That's official.

They don't care what you think about the look or idea behind this show, because IT IS FOR CHILDREN.

There's nothing wrong with speculating about an upcoming series. It's done all the time, and it's not exclusive to Transformers fans. Whovians are sitting around talking about what they want to see in Series 8 of Doctor Who. Bronies are discussing their wishes for Season 5 of FiM. You don't think we know that the writers don't always read the forum boards for feedback?

Even then, saying the writers don't care about our opinions is a load of bullshit. The creators of Beast Wars consulted fans quite a lot during its production. Not giving two craps about what you're putting out with the pathetic cop out that "oh, we're writing a kids show" is exactly what makes modern children's programming so unintelligent and ridiculous. A good story is one that everyone can enjoy.

Also, just to put your ignorant and hypocritical comment into perspective:

They don't care what you think about the look or idea behind these toys, because THEY ARE FOR CHILDREN.

Meanwhile, you'll sit around and bitch about all the flaws of your transforming dolls.

He might have been referring to all the negative comments about the show seeming to dumb/childish, poking at the fact that grownups are criticizing something meant for kids.

I'm betting that, like a LOT of things lately, the new Hasbro team simply liked the name but "didn't know" that it had already been used for a series.

With all the weirdness and goofs we've gotten from them lately, they don't exactly have the best track record thus far.

A little voice talent update for yesterday's Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon news, Constance Zimmer will be voicing a Transformer. Yesterday's Variety article listed her, but didn't mention who or what type of character she would be voicing. She joins Will Friedle, who will reprise his role as Bumblebee, Darren Criss as Sideswipe, Mitchell Whitfield as Fixit, and Ted McGinley in a yet to be revealed role.

Zimmer tweeted the following earlier today:

I'm a Transformer!!! But I can't tell u much more, yet...

Same guy I think

Fixit could be female. Armada Sureshock I think was implied to be female, since this is an obvious homage, they might carry it over.

Highly doubt she'd be a Dinobot. Not being sexist here, but the idea of a female Dinobot is just...wrong? (Go ahead and curse my soul fangirls )

My money is on Fixit, Unknown Cadet or a 'Con

A female Dinobot could be a girlfriend for Grimlock. All he has to do is act a fool around her until she understands that Grimlock likes her.

Sabrblade wrote:Or she could be, you, her own character not tied to any man.

Just sayin'.

Sometimes I like clichés.

I get the feeling that, should she be the Elite guard cadet, her character and bad boy Sideswipe are gonna be the "it" couple of the series that all the shippers will be pairing together.

Well, Ms. Zimmer's Tweet did say that she's a Transformer.

But since you bring up the possibility of new human sidekicks, I hope that any new humans in this show are at least as decently-written/decently-depicted as the Burns family.
