yay, more optimus...

 

I really gotta say, I love Transformers, but I actual hate Optimus Prime.

 

If it wasn't for the fact that he gets the most detailed figures, I don't thing I'd own a one.

I just hope it features another Ultra Magnus that isnt another Optimus Prime. and more japanese references. I miss Animated :tfsad

You guys think it might be reading too much into it if "Prime" is in reference to the generations of Prime, as opposed to just Optimus? Actually, saying that out loud, just made me realize how incapable Hasbro is of that kind of complexity! ;)

Jefferey Combs as Ratchet.

 

This is called PERFECT!

or the rank. I heard Prime was a rank. or maybe itll be about a team of Primes, like Vector Prime, Rodimus Prime, Longarm Prime...

Hmmmmm..... I wonder if we'll see some Herbert West references in this.

So if Combs got the roll of Ratchet what does that mean for Bell? I guess he can fall back on that Fowler guy since that would fit him well, too, but it would have been nice to hear him do a Transformer roll again.

 

And just how important is Ratchet to the new series if two fairly big names have tried for his role?
