And do megatron and prime have different swords?
shocky looks like he has an entirely new robot mode then from foc.
I think he does have wings though

Hey, you know, it could be Blurr.
Hoping someone can get some clearer pictures or video of this new bot. As it is the only definitive bits are that it's alt mode is a car (with a spoiler), it's got some blue on there, and it looks to have "door wings" in robot mode. Though what with Arcee being a blue motorcycle, anything is possible. Maybe it's Bluestreak! (I really hope not, Bluestreak is silver, darn it!)
Anyway, the new promo looks awesome. It'd be great if Shockwave would show up in more than just a flashback fashion. His design certainly looks awesome, I wonder what he'll transform into.

Totally agree! Takara's even releasing a Prime Smokscreen figure!dappeppad wrote:

i almost hope it isnt jazz. the car looks like a truck with speakers in the trunk and i prefer jazz to be a classy sports car.
other than those complaints the rest of the season looks to be: dramatic. intense. awesometacular. stellar. better than G1. PURE NERD-GASTIC.
(sucks i have to spend 40 dollars to watch any of them or hope to see them on yt).

other than that i dont see much resemblance and usually, the characters look like they did in their lastest designs.(OP is a front engine semi, megatron a jet(first bay-movie), arcee a motorcycle, ) though smokescreen hasnt been depicted in a movie or show yet for a while so a redesign would be probable, but didnt hasbro already release a smokescreen in his G1 color scheme...

Shockwave looks less like his FoC counterpart than I initially thought. Yay!

Oh that's right, I completely forgot about AM Smokescreen! He's a redeco of Knock Out, if I recall correctly. That explains why my first thought was "Hey, Prime Smokescreen has a similar vehicle body to Knock Out..." I wonder what Prime Smokescreen will be like eh?

EDIT: Ok, just saw a side pic of the new guy ... Changing my mind, looks like Smokescreen. Although there's another pic with a blurry head shot and that looks similar to Prowl with the red crest.
Posted by Ultra Markus on August 26th, 2012 @ 10:17pm CDT
but the 38 on the door suggests maybee smokescreen

It looks like Smokescreen from the cleaned up photo that dappeppad put out. <-(That is for dappeppad.)
Besides that, I would like to see a PRIME version of Bluestreak... And with Shockewave, he transforms into some kind of ship. I just wonder if Takara Tomy is going to make a good Arms Microns version of him.

TT is putting out FOC Shockwave under the Prime banner, so whatever they changes they make with him will probably be all we're getting.

Another repaint character?
Well, if he's as different from Knock Out as Dead End is from Wheeljack... I still won't really like it.
Posted by PrymeStriker on August 26th, 2012 @ 11:51pm CDT
Mirage
or
Smokescreen
Megatron has a new arm
Breakdown's back...barely...
More Shockwave.
Yep, Season 2 is going to be the boss.

They took Prowl's colors, added a racing deco and tossed my favorite character's iconic number on it. I thought I couldn't dislike Prime anymore. I thought that Smokescreen getting a retool of Knock Out for a toy was the final insult. I was wrong. Bravo.

Here's my two cents:
Hurt- seen it, great episode, good to finally see some serious character development for Miko, but at the end Ratchet said 'he will never be the same again' or something similar. if i recall correctly, one of the directors said to expect characters to get upgrades and changes, and i think Bulk is the perfect candidate for that, whatever it is
Out of the Past- SHOCKWAVE! I have a feeling that the whole episode will be an experiment of shockwave's, rather than a flashback, and it's good to see cliffjumper again.
New Recruit- My money is on Smokescreen given all the chatter, but i would have preferred him to be red. I'm also not surprised by them introducing a new autobot though, as tfp tends to give us two opposing characters at a time. and i hope that starscream finally has his t cog back (maybe shockwave could do it?)
Human Factor- Silas seems to be relatively intact, leading to believe Breakdown is more of an exo-suit rather than a completely new body for him. Breakdown himself seems to have some pretty huge shoulder cannons now, and also to be sporting a new Rust and Grey colour scheme. and i noticed that there is a short scene where BD is trying to stomp Jack, at what appears to be a forest right next to Autobot HQ
Legacy- seeing as none of the other scenes seem to match with the above episodes, i'm going to presume that this is the episode with Megatron's arm upgrade. At the end of the trailer Optimus is wielding what i can only hope is the Star Saber, and Megatron may have the Dark Saber, or the Skyboom shield, or maybe something else entirely. Either way, Meg's sword is attached at his shoulder by a Purple and Gold armour piece, rather than being a full arm upgrade.

And I suspect that he'll end up being a lighter blue, given the shot of him. It's all tinted a shade of blue, so it would wash his color out if he were a similar shade.
Posted by BeastProwl on August 27th, 2012 @ 8:50am CDT
And Silas has one screwed up face.

so, could be Smokescreen! I would never have even thought of that, Dappeppad
Posted by PrymeStriker on August 27th, 2012 @ 11:06am CDT
but with Megatron's new arm's color scheme, what if this is the seed to a plot where he was completely torn apart and upgraded into Galvatron?
iWant Prime Galvatron

Hmmm.... well he looks enough like Prowl that if they don't screw up this figure, and they don't release a real Prowl, some paint or a nice Reprolabels kit and a few extra parts could give me the Prime figure I've always wanted!

And the first time i saw the car i thought Jazz, then when i saw the bot mode i thought Prowl, but now i actually think that Smokescreen is more likely to appear. Prime is rather notorious for bringing in and focusing on character names with little to no established backstory, i.e. Skyquake, Dreadwing, Breakdown, Knockout, kiiiiind of Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Arcee, and new namedropped Wreckers

I'm not wondering if the "repaint" part of the Smokescreen toy is false. Vehicle mode looks nothing like Knockout, in fact it looks similar to Wheeljack. And given the few amout of characters in the show, if they cheapen a (supposedly) long term new character to just a repaint, I'll be a bit disppointed (especially since the KO mold isn't that great to begin with)

At the Tokyo Toy Show, in the display of new Transformers: Prime toys coming from TakaraTomy, we saw an unpainted prototype of the Knock Out toy mold labeled as Smokescreen.Bubbah wrote:noodles2go wrote:based on the "38" and the fact that there is a smokescreen repaint of Knockout rumored, as well as the noticeable similarity to knockout in his robot mode (check out the upper chest/torso), Smokescreen seems almost inevitable.

Hmmm, any chance that was just a place holder figure? I'm just surprised they'd use Knockout. He's got a fairly large, rounded front end, and the clip shows the new guy having a much more sharp and thin front end. Plus KO doesn't have the air vents in front of the rear wheels like the new guy has. Unless maybe TT is going to use a different name for either the KO repaint or the character in the show, I just see a real stretch tieing Smokescreen as a Knockout repaint, ya know?
Posted by Sabrblade on August 27th, 2012 @ 2:44pm CDT
They could remold the figure's car parts to make it more unique. Like what Hasbro's doing to Generations Jazz for Sideswipe.Bubbah wrote:Hmmm, any chance that was just a place holder figure?

it would not be to hard to remold knockout either. change the chest a bit, rework the legs, new weapon, and a new head.
