    Am I the only one that finds the re-done characters so far a tad on the redundant side? It's not like the first versions of them were all that bad.

    The one dude in the silhouette does indeed appear to be Ratchet. Can't wait to see more of him.

    Me neither. Source?

    Okay there's not really a source. It was really a guess considering the attention Transformers Prime is putting on Arcee. So it could be a clue of soem sort. I could be wrong.

    While what you said could indeed be the case, it's not like this is the first TF series to put emphasis on a fembot.

    It's just cheap public-domain friendly synth music, like toy companies use on all their promo videos over there. Just like every other Transformer show, Prime's Japanese dub will no doubt use the same background music.

    Far left is Soundwave. Maybe with a tentacle weapon?

    Middle is Optimus, a new mold. Looks like they used the Cyberverse transformation for his shoulderpads (they come from the wind vane), but the feet look a bit small, which is worrisome since Optimus is supposed to have pretty big feet to be accurate to his show design. Also looks like a backpack is there: Could this be a leader with electronics?

    The far right silhouette is definitely Ratchet. It has the same knee armor, feet, head, and shoulderpads as the show design, and you can see the wheel on his forearm/elbow in the one picture. Now we are left to wonder: Is it the deluxe from Botcon or an entirely new mold for the new line?

    My guess....

    Left - Soundwave w/LB
    Middle - Voyager Prime, remold maybe with no faceplate?, or Leader Prime with removable face plate?
    Right - RATCHET! Hopefully voyager size but probably knowing them it'll be a deluxe.

    Middle figure is Optimus in shape. Another Optimus figure...or it could be the end result of "Project: Chimera" - a Nemesis Prime/Scourge clone.

    I can always dream...
