Transformers: Prime.

You guys like the pregnant pause? I swiped it from Australian Idol :)

"Apparently", Jeffery Combs has been cast as Ratchet and the series will debut in Our Spring/ Their Fall 2010. That's a pretty quick turnaround in animation production!

Does it involve every Optimus Prime from every continuity? Peter Cullen's going to be a busy boy if that is true lol

It'll be like a '5 Doctors' version of Transformers. That would be cool.

It better not be in the Teen Titans style again. One was bad enough. IMO anyhow.

The latest development says that it will be 3D CGI like Clone Wars which is not a bad thing.

I'll wait and see, but I'm not sure about the toy line it will generate, don't we get enough Prime's already?

Will this lead to a Batman like Prime line, where 85% of the toys are Prime but with different accsesories? :D

Well I think it has now been confirmed it will be CGI. And that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will be involved. Linky (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i8decb5ca03594f57b1ce2fa84a0d2c9d)
2nd last paragraph mentions it.

I look forward to seeing Orci and Kurtzman writing Transformers without interference from Michael Bay! (no more senselessly crude humour!!)

Yea it is a little bad as it won't be entirely as "fluid" as hand drawn.

But at least they can make it like cybertron that the characters in the show are toy accurate. :)

As great as TF:A was it at times went off model, especially on the Jet Twins. Well if TF:P is CG like Clone Wars does this mean it's sticking with the cartoony look? (If so - Yay!)

At the very least the look will be stylised. Then again it is animation so stylised is the whole point.

I suspect the show will have a movie-simplified look to it and will have at least cursory links to the movie-verse. Regardless of the movies and their... quality... they made way too much money to be ignored.

As for the name? Since all American TF series staring him have been about Prime anyway (even more when Rodimus was in charge. HAH) actually naming the show after him doesn't bother.

A movie simplified look? I like some of the movie figures, Starscream, Arcee and Chromia. An animated series using that look, even if it's CG... Personally I hope it's either a back to basics look or TFA.
