Check out some images of the Transformers Prime cast in all their glory! We’ve got group shots, robot and vehicle mode shots, and even a nice group shot of four of the main Autobots together (seen at left). Included are images of Bumblebee in both modes, Cliffjumper and the Decepticon Trooper in vehicle mode, Ratchet in robot mode, human companion Rafael “Raf” Esquivel, and last but by no means least, a close up view of Megatron himself!
All of these are from Hubworld.com – the website for the new joint Hasbro / Discovery television network set to launch 10/10/10, where Transformers Prime will make its debut. Call your cable company and make sure you will be getting it if you don’t already have Discovery Kids in your line up!

I meant the Art. What I have seen so far as character designs go, i am not to excited.
CorporateZombie
I'm not entirely sold on the designs but I am not put off by it either. I am eager to see where this goes.
SPLIT LIP
You seriously asking that? Read the thread.
Also, have you seen the Animation? Because all we've seen is WIP test footage.
Miggytron
We really haven't seen much animation aside from that WIP clip from Comic Con.
Do you mean the art direction? It's the same artist in charge of both shows so that would explain why you don't like it.
Spinout
Am I the only one who hates the animation for Transformers Prime? I think it looks terrible. G.I. Joe renegades too. Like the story, hate the animation. Just sayin'.
Goatboy
Priss? Arcee's colour scheme plus the smooth lines of the Prime designs do make her look a bit like Priss's hard suit.
eagc7
nothing, jsut like her rotf desing (and movei 1 too)
Mr knightmare
That pointy snake thing is hot to you? What are you smoking?
eagc7
No lol, movie, g1 and animated are. lol
i hope i really want a g1 Arcee So now i can Stop complaninig of no havign toysrus here lol
Creaky
BUT SHE'S HOT!
Ahem.
Hasbro hinted at Botcon that they're working on some female Transformers. It's not a stretch to assume that means a G1 Arcee is somewhere in the pipeline for Generations. I mean, damn, it's taken them long enough.
(That said, watch them troll us and release Chromia, or worse – the Paradron medic… )

sadly i dont haev the animated arcee toy has she is a toysrus exlcusive, and theres no toyrus in my country sadly , thats why i would prefred a g1 style prieem arcee so i could get a g1 styled arcee toy (if they ever make a toyline of prime), or an movie styled arcee has i lvoe the movies arcee toys ( again if they make a toylien of prime),
Sprocket
Well, that isn't happening. We just got Animated Arcee, why would they re-tread?
Just take heart that a G1-style Arcee toy is an inevitable occurrence, and accept this design, 'cause it isn't changing.
eagc7
dont liek arcee, jsut wish she looekd more liek her g1 or movie deisngs or at least look more "female"
Sprocket
Considering they're already working on one hell of a deadline crunch, I'm hoping you just mean you don't like it, not to actually 're-design' it. We're looking at the final designs here, although the possibility of what happened with Animated exists(when they modified Blackaracnia and Issac Sumdac slightly for the final product) expect any character design changes to be so minimal you probably won't even notice them.

im kinda liknig the colros on arcee nwo BUT I Sitll ahte the deisng of arcee, re-deisgn it hasrbo…

I don't think they made Arcee blue to appeal more to boys. At the SDCC 2010 panel, they said they wanted to move away from the "girls are stereotypically pink" idea….the fact that blue may appeal more to boys is probably an added bonus. I agree Arcee can be tougher and less "girly girly." Characters can be feminine but strong, as seen with Blackarachnia from Beast Wars (the Animated version didn't get a chance to grow too much).
On a related note, I hope Blackarachnia finds her way into the new series. I'm glad Bulkhead is part of the core cast – I feel like the iconic TF characters are still originally from G1, and I'd like to see that expand and evolve with the franchise. (The attempt to shove characters like AEC Hot Shot and Red Alert down people's throats didn't go so well)
Boy Blunder
I never understood that. Admittedly, there was nothing wrong with the design aesthetic of the 2003 series, but really, the changes weren't all that jarring. I think they blended well. But then, I'm used to being part of the 'accepting' minority in the fanbases I hold dear.
Also, Arcee's been moving away from pink for a while now. Maybe not by leaps and bounds, but look at the movie toys and Animated. The Target-exclusive movie toy was blue. The first movie toy was purple. The ROTF bikes, so far, have been blue, day-glo red, and purple/black (though the day-glo red was more pink in the film), and even the Animated toy is magenta. I think it's good to let the characters change over the years – if they stayed the same, Transformers wouldn't have lasted for over 25 years.
Besides, are you gonna tell a girl she can't change her outfit?

It's kind of amazing how much this reminds me of Jose Lopez's last all-CGI work, the 2007 'TMNT' film. Outside of the TMNT themselves, all the major good guys/bad guys were varying degrees of wide shoulders and skinny waists, and all the girls were positively stickly. I seem to recall TMNT fans being okay with the film…until Playmates mandated that the cartoon change its look to more closely match it. That didn't go over well with most fans, particularly with April O'Neil. Ah well.
