Talk:Transformers: Prime (cartoon)

Disambig

Should this page be disambiguated from the Transformers 2010 (franchise) page? Khajidha 17:28, 9 December 2009 (EST)

I think so, yes. --abates 20:21, 10 December 2009 (EST)

Character list

Forgive me for being overly cautious, but since it's been stated that Michael Bell has auditioned for the roles of Ratchet and Fowler, can we begin a preliminary character list? - Zadok Rox 09:38, 14 December 2009 (EST)

I'm okay with that as long as we are foolishly optimistic enough to leave Optimus Prime and Megatron OFF the character list until confirmed. -Derik 10:46, 14 December 2009 (EST)

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!--Jimsorenson 11:52, 14 December 2009 (EST)

EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT WILL BE FOR NAUGHT, THE VERY CONCEPT FILLS MY HEART WITH GLADNESS. -Derik 12:03, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Maybe, for the same reason, the character list should just be "characters" and not presume to put them in "Autobots", "Decepticons", and "Humans". Who knows? There could be Maximals! - Starfield 12:10, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Or Unicron's Heralds, for that matter! ---Blackout- 12:46, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Malignus, Mutants, Throttlebots, Spacebots, Spacecons... -Derik 16:26, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Unicron, would I love a set of stories focussing mainly on the Chaos Bringer's faction. Geewunling 16:49, 14 December 2009 (EST)

I'm tempted to say that we shouldn't include Bumblebee on the list just yet because we don't know 100% that the yellow robot on the Hub logo is Bumblebee, but I seriously doubt that anybody would toy around (no pun intended) with the general looks of a popular Transformers character (though that would be an awesome twist). - Zadok Rox 15:29, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

Titling

Shouldn't it be "Prime (cartoon)", considering our stupid rule of removing "Transformers" from article titles? —Interrobang 02:01, 6 February 2010 (EST)

Nope!--Rosicrucian^Talk 02:04, 6 February 2010 (EST)

I thought the reason we went with "Transformers Animated" is because there was no colon, and therefore "Animated" wasn't a subtitle? --KilMichaelMcC 02:08, 6 February 2010 (EST)

I honestly don't recall there being a colon in just about any TF title. --M Sipher 02:09, 6 February 2010 (EST)

We make exceptions for phrases. This isn't one. I mean, we even had a big ado over moving the ROTF article to be without the "Transformers". —Interrobang 02:13, 6 February 2010 (EST)

"Transformers Animated" is much a exception, so it go with the full name. If the title is "Transformers: Prime" when it start airing, I will vote for the "Prime (cartoon)". --^TALK04:09, 6 February 2010 (EST)

Hub picture

Now that we got the logo for 'Transformers: Prime', should we get rid of the Hub logo? I say we do, but I wouldn't object to holding on to it until we get an image solely of Bumblebee. - Zadok Rox 07:53, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

There's room, so we might as well keep it for now. --abates 08:00, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

Can we get this article locked if it hasn't been already?

I expect a number of (mostly anonymous) editors may attempt to follow a relatively new TFW2005.com staffer's lead and paste in an unverified, uncited cast list from Wikipedia into this article. Thanks. --FFN 14:12, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

I personally disagree with locking this article. The show should be debuting within the next six months or so, therefore I imagine Hasbro will give us some tidbits of information (not to mention actors' websites, like Jeffrey Combs). However, if this article does get locked until a later date, I won't make a big deal out of it. - Zadok Rox 23:36, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

It's only blocked against editing by unregistered users. If an unregistered user has a legit piece of info to be added, they can always use the talk page to bring it up. --abates 23:45, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

Or register and then add it directly. (They should still provide citations/links for proof if need be, of course.)--Apcog 05:12, 8 May 2010 (EDT)

Continuity

Might just be me, but shouldn't we place this under "War For Cybertron" continuity or something? Apparantly, it follows the game (or at least the prequel comic, according to the page itself.

-ThiAthEhn

I'm still not clear on where Magnus Maximus got that from, since it's uncited. We really need to wait and see before we make a decision. Plus if WFC and Prime are in the same continuity, an argument could be made to place WFC in the Prime continuity rather than the other way around.--abates 05:14, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

Ask Walky. He assured me that the link between WfC and Prime has been confirmed, but just didn't mention where or when. That's why I added the {{fact}} tag, so that he or someone else could cite it. - Magnus Maximus 05:45, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

Aha! I see! --abates 06:19, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

So isn't the "link" with WfC just speculation from someone working at TFWiki? There's no citation, and should not be under "CONFIRMED news."

Chartacter list

If It's not Bumblebee, who CAN it be?TOM 11:08, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

Yellow Cliffjumper, Bumper, Hot Shot, Armada Sparkplug... it's likely that it's Bumblebee, but there are other people that look like him. --NCZ 11:21, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

Or a brand new character. I'm very certain that it is Bumblebee, but the producers may blow our minds and say, "Hey, you know your buddy, Bumblebee? Well, he's actually (place bad guy name here) in disguise. Remember Longarm Prime in Transformers Animated?
