According to his official fansite, Jeffrey Combs will be voicing the role of Ratchet and there are 26 episodes scheduled for the first season.[2]
The series will have Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci as executive producers, and the cartoon is described as "cg-animated". [3] Alongside Kurtzman and Orci, one of the "show runners" is Jeff Kline.[4]
Digitalscape has announced on their website that they would be responsible for the CG production. [5]
It is not yet known which continuity family the series will take place in, but it has been revealed that it will follow on from the back-story set up by the upcoming War for Cybertron video game and its tie-in book, Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron.[citation needed]
On May 17, 2010, it was revealed that Peter Cullen (the voice actor for Generation 1 Optimus Prime as well as the live-action movie Optimus Prime), would be lending his voice to Transformers: Prime in some capacity.[6]
