On a more serious note, the Prime writers likely have the season 3 story all set and planned out for all 13-16 episodes, and likely have little free space room for celebrity guest stars.PrymeStriker wrote:Use the force, Luke!Sabrblade wrote:Because Rescue Bots is awesome and they're too good for Prime.

And we know that, based on past experiences, whenever there is one, the fans will want to see them again and again, when season 3 is supposed to act like a final season, so there can't be that many loose ends left if they want it to feel like the end of the story (even though there's said to be a fourth season coming, they gotta still treat season 3 like the very end).
Rescue Bots, however, is still growing and expanding upon its world, will ample free room for more celebrities and such.

Well, here's hoping his character is the Rescue Bots equivalent of the Joker; maybe an alt that's a "clown car" in that it's a sub-compact that expands to a robot the size of Devastator!

Unless he's voicing Hoist or Medix, I highly doubt he's playing a robot character.Bumblevivisector wrote:Well, here's hoping his character is the Rescue Bots equivalent of the Joker; maybe an alt that's a "clown car" in that it's a sub-compact that expands to a robot the size of Devastator!

Or, you know, he could voice a human.

Thought the same... that, with a hint of Meatloaf...

Mark Hamill is such a great voice actor, glad to see him staying busy.

And Prime looks even taller than ever. Sigh. I guess that means I gotta go hunt down that large trailer I was hoping wouldn't make it into the show.Hip-Hoptimus Rime wrote:Excellent. Love that he has his trailer, my boy will appreciate that.

IDR if I've seen full-trailer RB Op at TJMarshaxx yet (I might just be remembering the mobile HQ, which has already come and gone), but the timing seems right, so check there before resorting to full price at the regular stores.Sabrblade wrote:And Prime looks even taller than ever.

Am I the only one geeking out even harder about the idea of someone looking for aliens who live underground, because it's reminiscent of the one-way phone conversation:
"These things most likely come from the center of the Earth, General...But we have no evidence that they're extraterrestrials...We think it came from the center of the Earth...Whaddya' mean, 'Tell it to the Global Inquirer'?"
I know Hasbro can't be toying with reviving every franchise whose cartoon they've taken off YouTube, but the possibilities of preschool Inhumanoids gives me renewed hope in the face of an otherwise bleak future for decent action cartoons.

Well, based on the description for the episode after the one this article talks about, it looks like these will be a two-parter and that there's definitely something extraordinary down there. Some kind of "primeval world" according the TV listings.Flashwave wrote:Well, given the description, be myguess that Crazy Unce Woodrow has found Energon, possibly explosive, requiring the Rescue Bot presence, and Optimus Prime is there for "Yay Product Placement!"

I'm thinking that that place could be the source for them as well, but those forms aren't supposed to come until season 3. So maybe they go back there next year or something.Va'al wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Well, based on the description for the episode after the one this article talks about, it looks like these will be a two-parter and that there's definitely something extraordinary down there.
