But what about the Jetfire who already exists?

Couldn't have been said better myself.

Dreadwing's death wouldn't happen here; in the NY Toy Fair 2012, the preview clip for Beast Hunters shoes that he's still kicking.

What? Dreadwing was absent from the preview clip for Beast Hunters, even further proving his possible death.

HC: Have you formulated a new three-year plan?

JK: We definitely reconfigured ourselves through Season 3, which we are in production on now. One of the nice things about “Transformers: Prime,” not true of all animated series, is that we have a full-time writing staff. A lot of animated series have to make do with one story editor and freelancers. It can be very hard to plot out long-term stories by yourself in a room. But we have a full-blown writing staff, so we spend a lot of time before we get down to script writing talking about where do we want to go, where do we want the characters to go.

HC: What can people expect in Season 3?

JK: As anybody who’s been watching the show knows, we tend to get bigger and bigger and paint ourselves into corners. So the end of Season 2 will paint us into a corner and hopefully you’ll be surprised at how we get ourselves out of it. For Season 3, we’re actually bringing Beasts into the story, which is a big game-changers. Not necessarily “Beast Wars” way or “Dino-bots” but Beasts, which are part of the Transformers lore. For us, it’s important to be able to justify that previous lore within our own continuity. One of the big things for us is the idea that Earth and Cybertron have been interrelated for eons. The Unicron arc played with that quite a bit. But Season 3 will be even more about how Earth and Cybertron are brother, or twin, planets in some way. And, as we’ve been doing for two seasons, allegiances will change, good guys and bad guys will switch sides, new elements will be brought in and old elements will be sent away. We try to change it up because we always want our Autobots at a disadvantage. From the very beginning, there have always been fewer Autobots than Decepticons, they’re technologically disadvantaged. We’ll continue to try to stack the deck against them.

What we discovered early on, especially in Season 2, because we kept getting bigger and bigger, we wanted it to get more epic and the idea of having every episode be self-contained became impossible.

For Season 3, we’re actually bringing Beasts into the story, which is a big game-changers. Not necessarily “Beast Wars” way or “Dino-bots” but Beasts,

And, as we’ve been doing for two seasons, allegiances will change, good guys and bad guys will switch sides

the idea of using Beasts wasn’t presented to us until we were pretty far down the line.

Who wants to guess which Autobot will switch sides?

I sure hope it's not Smokescreen. Don't think it's Wheeljack either, considering his recent [Beast Hunters] toy is an Autobot.

It wouldn't make -sense- for it to be Smokescreen. I mean, he's a hot headed shoot first kinda guy, but that just makes him wrecker-y if anything. He's not at all the power hungry type.

That said, I fully expect some shenanigans involving Dreadwing's allegiance. As if the Decepticons don't have enough issues with keeping the ranks, am I right?

Well I sure hope they're not going to rehash Cliffjumper again.

I've always thought Smokescreen to be more of a strategist rather than the shoot first, think later kind of guy.

Then again, he did rush into Megatron's armies to obtain the Star Saber, to no avail.

I'm thinking there's more chance of a new Autobot arriving on the scene, and then switching sides by the end of the first or second episode.

As for the Con, it's not even worth Speculating it's that obvious.

But Armada Wheeljack isn't even really Wheeljack. He's a Sideswipe homage!

Things are looking pretty epic in this exclusive shot from tonight's new episode of Transformers Prime. Don't miss the penultimate episode of Season 2, tonight at 7 pm ET on The Hub TV Network!

And Prime Wheeljack is a Drift homage. It's still Wheeljack.

If that's a space bridge, that's an unusual orientation.

Then again, if he did join the Autobots I would hope for him to be reformatted into Depth Charge to fit in with the Beast Hunters. Oh well

Didn't Mr. Todd say that he finished recording his lines for Season 3? He may not be dead, despite their mantra "when we kill a character, it stays dead". Or it could end up being a flashback.

Or Tony Todd plays another character for Season 3. They're not confined to one character to voice.

He's allegedly still beat to a pulp and since he doesn't have Main Character Syndrome, he can't magically recover like Bulkhead.

How did Bulk "magically" recover? He spent like 3 episodes recovering and getting better. In fact short of death, Prime spent more time on his injury than any other animated series spent on someone's injuries that I can think of off hand. Most characters got shot or banged up and the next week looked & acted as if nothing ever happened. Speedy recovery has always been a part of Transformers, and I was actually surprised and impressed with the fact that showed Bulkhead recovering for so long.
