Sounds cool, can't wait to see some footage. However, Prime? That's a little unoriginal when it comes to a subtitle, unless it pertains a lot to the storyline.

I really do not see Combs playing this role. He's always struck me as a smooth, calm voice and that just isn't Ratchet to me.
However he was chosen for a reason, so I will not critisize or commend until I actually see and hear the character in action.

No, it will also be playing on YouTube and pretty much every secondary video site as well.

Is this that thing they said was gonna be a sequel to RID?
if it is...BLEH, I hated RID, I thought it was a reshowing of G1(what was I thinking?), My mom had said the awesomeness of G1 and I couldn't wait to see it then when I saw RID.......ugh.
Here's hoping the series will be nowhere near as bad as RID was to me.

I really think that's a bad move though. Cartoon Network is bad enough, but now a digital cable channel on the most expensive tier? Is Hasbro trying to guarantee no one watches it?

Known information:
Speculation:
- 1. This series is supposed to be called Transformers: Prime.
2. This series is supposed to be tied to the new video game, War For Cybertron.
3. The video game is supposed to feature the early days of Optimus' role as Prime.
Speculation:
- This new series might look into the history of those to bear the name 'Prime', perhaps even going back to the original group, whether you're talking about the seven members of the movieverse's Dynasty of Primes, or the Original Thirteen as described in the fan club's various fictions. Vector Prime, Nexus Prime, Prima, The Fallen, and more could all be depicted here...

I told you guys that the next cartoon series wasnt going to be connected to Animated such as a spin-off or 2.0.
That is why I didnt get my hopes up about it cause I knew that this new series was going to do with the past but I didnt know exactly what about the past but I did get it right saying it was about the past.
So that means the title Prime could show us How Optimus Prime became a Prime thus being in the beginning of time at the possible early stages of the Great War on Cybertron at the end of the Golden Age of Cybertron.
Or it could be about the origins of the Primes or something to do with the Dynasty of the Primes and the original 13 Transformers during that time period.
But it looks to me that this new series will be on Cybertron also or some missions in Space dosent look like this series will be on Earth if it will it may just be cameo appearances or just a refrence to Generation 1 or such.
However little is known but at least We got somewhat of a General Idea what to expect of the new series but the name of the series is a little Blah to me it isnt unique like previous series.
But I dont care as long we have an awesome plot, good characters and some kick-ass battles in it.
What I am curious about is what is this new show going to look like what art style will they be taking this show.
Will it be done sort of Beast Wars way in Tech style or will it be made such as Cybertron was or will they stick with the Cartoony look of Animated.
Looks like this will be 26 episodes for season 1 such as Animated was with 26 episodes I just hope if Prime is a good series it will last longer than 3 seasons as with Animated.
Also I hope Shout gets the ok with the re-releases of the Japanese sets such as Victory and those but I lost all hope of every seeing R.I.D. on dvd there must be something really wrong for them not to put this on dvd for some reason like on my SeaQuest 2032 Season 3 dvd set which also has never seen the light of day and probably never will.
I say more will be revealed at Botcon about Prime and maybe some teaser footage like they done with Animated cause it debuted also at Botcon one year.

Humans give purpose to the underlying theme of the Transformers: "robots in disguise".
They already did a Transformers cartoon with no humans: Beast Machines.

so I have a hard time picturing this guy voicing ratchet he doesn't sound like a ratchet
but maybe he will alter is voice for the show or something.

I'll give you MSHS, I've seen it, it's terrible.
Batman: The Brave And The Bold, however...not your simple kid's show.
It's smart, the humor and jokes are at times aimed at older members of the audience, and there have been some great homages. In fact there was an episode that hearkened back to the original Looney Tunes cartoons of the 40s/50s.
Plus they have no problem exploring serious topics including death.
It's no Batman The Animated Series, but it's a fun and fresh take with more to offer than you'd think.

Wasn't in the last months CC newsletter a hint that the WFC toys could be based on a cartoon as well as the comp. game?
If I connect the dots, the conclusion is: this could be a War Within-time story when Optimus takes the matrix and becomes Prime.

Cool, I really dig Jeffrey Combs, i'm a huge B-movie & horror fanatic. He's one of my favorites, just below Bruce Campbell & Malcolm McDowell. He could do a good Ratchet & one of his co-stars from Feardotcom, Stephen Rea would do great to voice a decepticon scientist/ torturer(you need to hear this guy talk, it's just creepy as all get out.) As for seeing the show on-air, I don't think i'm going to buy more channels just to get one channel to watch one show. I might watch 2 1/2 hours of tv a week at best, so i'll just catch an HDTV rip torrent or find it on Youtube/BlazinAnime or something like that. The name could be worked on, but Transformers: Prime is better than Transformers: Destruction Of My Wallet.

I'm glad he's going to be in it. I always liked him as Weyoun and Brunt on DS9. Shran on Enterprise was pretty good too. But he totally rocked it as the Question. The Question was the best character on Justice League: Unlimited.
As for everyone who is already saying the cartoon is going to suck just by it's name... Remember how everyone freaked when we saw the first images of Transformers: Animated? Think about how cool that turned out to be.

I like Jeffrey Combs. Mostly remember him from his Star Trek appearances (Weyoun FTW!) and depending on what kind of Ratchet the new show's gonna have, he may fit right in. I remember similar speculation over several Animated casting choices, too. (ex. "Megatron as Prime? WTF?!")
I'm just hoping that, though undoubtedly aimed at children, the show is handled by someone with knowledge of the brand and it's fans, willing to thrown in that little extra for us old schoolers (like Animated had)
As for the title "Prime" It's a bit bland, but probably very topical. Only time will tell.

I think it's safe to say that this new cartoon will be kid-focused & that it'll be your traditional cartoon (26 episode season), not CGI.
The question is, will it be more like Animated or RID & Unicron Trilogy? I hope it's not the latter.

I hope it will be dramatic, epic, like Armada! But...I have a bad feeling it's kid-themed like Animated. Rather than just the feel of the show, what else that could either make it or brake it is the designs/animation. If it looks like Animated or Energon, its fail to me. Especially Animated, I can't stand the look of some of the faces, like Starscream, mostly because of the ugly toys it produces. I hope it follows Armada's style, I think that'll translate great into what we've seen so far of WFC.

it's official. Hasbro has run out of names for their serieses. If this is anything like RID, then count this series as a bad one. RID never interested me; I guess I'll just have to wait for more info. And hey what about WFC, Power Core Combiners, and whatever series Seaspray is in, maybe that's this?

This sounds like is heading towards sucksville in a big way and I have a gut feeling also that this could be like that crappy Marvel Super Hero Squad show.
Also I to do feel like this is being aimed at younger kids 8-12 also look at the channel it is on 179 Kids Discovery on Dish Network which will be re-named The Hub Sometime this Fall 2010.
I have this channel so I will check out this show but I am getting bad vibes from it already just buy the crappy generic name of the show.
But like you people said they are running out of names or ideas to use.
Look if they are that hard up for names come to me I have names look how many sub-titles I came up for Transformers 3 what makes you think I couldnt do the same for the cartoon series.
I mean Prime I could understand the name of the series if new the details of the plot to it.
Also I am kinda of curious but also scared at the same time of the next art style being used in the show will it look like Animated once again, or will it be kiddy style like Super Hero Squad or will it be done like Cybertron style or will it be done in Tech style such as Beast Wars.
I guess only time will tell since nothing is known or been shown yet.

Have people forgotten how generic the name Transformers: Animated actually is? it's referring to a style of art. At least Transformers: Prime is using a phrase associated with Transformers.

How is the subtitle "Prime" any less creative than "Energon," "Cybertron," "Animated," or "Robots in Disguise?" And how is a name any indication on how good a work is?
And really? A cartoon for kids?! Le GASP!
Joking aside, I'm curious as to what the 'look' of the Transformers will be. I liked Animated's stylizing as well as the Bayformer's alien craziness, I can't wait to see what direction Prime goes.

As long as it's written in the U.S. it should be fine. If they have folks in Japan who are used to writing anime stuff like Beyblade, Digimon, and Yu Gi Oh do it ( ala A E C ) it will most positively suck.
They need to bring Bob and Larry from Beast Wars back!

Orci and Kurtzman are "consultants" for the new series, and it's going to be "CG-animated".
I'm not sure what I think of this news...

Oh f**k and I was hoping it was going to be good, but hey as long as they only get to give a few ideas and it's written by lets say a brain-dead guinea-pig it might still have a chance.

Got an email the other day from Derrick Wyatt lead art director of Animated.
I asked him if he was working on Prime as lead art director once again he says no he isnt he told me he didnt even know about Prime.
He says his next project his called Scooby Doo Incorporated which is being done like Animated and Teen Titan style and is set to debut on CN later this fall.
He said he hoped his favorite character Swindle is in this new series and I said the only confirmed character is Ratchet at the moment.
He says he is also excited about the new series also.
So it looks like Prime will have a new art director and that worries me about it lookin more like Marvel Super Hero Squad god please dont let it look like that BS.

Actually, according to Michael Bell, who also tried out for Ratchet, there is also a character named General Fowler. If Combs got the job as Ratchet, I hope Bell still has a role in the show. He's a great guy and I want to see him in the new series.

Well I approve of Combs being this new toon. Never seen Re-Animator but my horror movie mad mates like it so that's good enough for me.There's a pattern emerging with horror actors voicing TF's (Tony Todd as the Fallen). Get Bruce Campbell to voice a TF and I'll be a happy fangirl. Sucks that Michael Bell didn't get the part but Im wishing he is in the show anyway as someone for us old fans to enjoy. We love ya Michael.

Damn skippy, think Animated Tracks and then imagine Bruce Campbell's voice. The sneer, the machismo, the self-righteousness. It would have worked great.

Aw, damn. That image just popped into my head and it was three million levels of awesome.
They could've even worked in Bruce's jaw for the facial design.
Gah!
