Probably a transport ship, and starscream navigating it?
Paxtin
I almost wanted to say it looked like Starscream's alt-mode from WFC, but yeah, probably a Decepticon transport/drop ship. It looks like it's what the drones were actually jumpling out of in the promo.

You know I'm hopeing for some really cool NEW characters…I mean we got Bulkhead, Lugnut and Lockdown from Animated
Deadend
He probably will at some point. Hopefully in this set of 26. If not, then the next.
Yup, and since this goes from exodus not the games, it's fine.
Exodus is in continuity to Prime, until the show proves otherwise, which is unlikely since Exodus uses the same movie variations to the story that Prime is going to use. Those things were absent from the games.
So far at least, but sometimes story conflicts could say otherwise. *cough* G1 *cough* but it uses Exodus if anything. Exodus uses movie-like events just like prime alludes to.
Exodus is, the console games and DS games aren't.
Yeah, it's Exodus it uses if any of them. They were all different. They've also said this is an amalgam universe though. So elements of G1, movie-verse and so on have happened, but not quite the same. So Jazz could already be dead, or may not have died in this universe, since it's only movie-like. Just like Exodus uses Movie-like events too.
Exodus didn't make Bee or jumper anything like the ones you play in the games. So those won't matter. Besides, all of them were different from each other. DS, Console, and book all different. Since the book doesn't have 'designs' just what you think they look like, they can still look the same as the book, unlike the games that are a visual medium.
Yup. Exactly. Exodus even ripped Bumblebee's voice box out like the movie-verse and prime use.
I'll have to check that out myself now, I never saw that before.
It's Exodus, so yeah it can. The console games and DS game though? Not likely. Hasbro has already said it is in canon. It's not the same as making G1 the movie continuity. It's just expanding on the amalgamated universe Exodus already uses. Which includes movie-like events like BB's voice, and the allspark.
Technically Tony did. Though Hasbro has said previously it is as well back when Prime was announced, but has been mum on it since.
That's why the Exodus book says on the cover "The true story of the war for cybertron". It's the book that's with prime, not the games. Tieger was making a G1 game, it's supposed to fit mildly with G1 with some reaching points created to balance out the classes and flight level.
You should. It sounds like it'll fit with Exodus nicely. Exodus also has references to movie-like cybertron events that'll allow it to fit.
That's because Exodus takes elements from all over the place as well, and was written with the series bible in mind. The game was not. The game is seperate than the book. Just as the games are seperate to each other, like DS to console.
We're also supposed to be getting more books down the line too. So it seems Exodus is the path they are taking.
Ah well, count me excited.

Good. About time we got decent length seasons that aren't import shows.
eagc7
true

Tf Prime season 1 is 26 episodes.
The first five we know about + 21 episodes.
Apparently every season will be 26 episodes long because believe it or not making MORE EPISODES in CGI actauly means you got it cheaper.
Cyber Star
ok thanks
eagc7
Dunno But there are 21 Eps on Season 1
Cyber Star
I might have missed it, but how many episodes will this be? It says TF: Prime is going to be a 5-part mini series but im not sure how much that will be. Does anyone know?
