I get the feeling that trailer only spans the first 3(5 at most) episodes. They're probably just holding back on revealing stuff like

Spoiler

Optimus Prime's upgrade

to make this trailer more dark and ominous, though to be honest, I would love them to elect a new leader. I've been wanting them to change things up in this franchise for a while now and do something controversial.

 

Wow! I cannot wait for this!!!!!!

 

Decent trailer.

Should at least shut up the mouth breathers that claim that "humins too overpowered".

 

If I didn't know better, I'd say they're trying to make us think Smokescreen is the new Prime...

*gasp!*

What if the new Optimus Prime is Smokescreen!?

They've just been toying with us all along!

Our Optimus Prime DOES die!

That's why Smokescreen doesn't appear on the beast hunters website!



 

(This is all in jest, but if it comes true... Wow)

 

Interesting theory, but does the robot body change that much when receiving the Matrix of Leadership? The "New" Prime looks like the regular Prime, but different in areas.

Either way, if the final season is just half as good as this trailer...it will be worth watching.  

 

WOW. That trailer. WOW.

They have my attention.

 

That trailer was awesome, can't wait for TFP return.

  IF something like that happens, I would be waiting to see and laugh my ass off at the possible fanrage it will cause.

 

Not impressed with trailer, but eagerly waiting series to start.

 

We don't know. I assume physical changes don't magically undo themselves when the Matrix is depleted, after all. They did for Rodimus Prime, but that's the only example where that's happened in fiction.

Even if this is just clever editing, DAMN it's a great trailer and exactly what was needed to get my attention.

 

I am so hopeful for Optimus to die, I mean it looks like he's gonna die.

 

That's an AWFUL lot of black on Bumblebee there, looks like he's got a new paint job at least.

 

And thus Spiritprime sheds tears for both the feels, the music and the AWESOMENESS!!!!

ALL MY FEELS!

 

i like how they're trolling us with hinting the next prime will be smokescreen

Yes. There will be a new Prime. A new OPTIMUS Prime

And he looks like this




YOU ALMOST HAD ME xD



[re: the "no smokescreen in any promo pics" stuff. maybe prime absorbs smokescreen or something crazy like that. which would be a terrible waste. aside from Ratchet and sometimes arcee he's the only autobot i really like  ]

 

What's more likely to happen is that Smokescreen (somehow) sacrifices his own spark to bring Optimus back. Maybe the new Optimus will have part of Smokescreen in him... They did say Optimus was going to act different this season, didn't they?

 

Does anyone else find the line "They outnumber us 100-1." A bit odd, there's always been an army of Decepticons and a small group of Autobots.

Don't ruin my morbid dreams.

 

I hope not. Smokescreen's a strong character, after all.

If it's written properly, granted, I'll forgive a lot. I have low expectations despite how hyped the trailer has me, so if I'm pleasantly surprised then I'll be pleased.

 

GET HYPED!

Certainly looks really exciting, and the art looks great for this season. As for Optimus, I have a feeling he won't die, but he may pass on leadership for a while until he comes back full force.

Although, who knows, if this is truly the end to Prime, maybe the writers have been given free reign to make whatever stories they want. Anything could happen in that case.

 

damnit. I wish I got the hub!

 

Though I can't actually see Prime dying, I'm getting reminded of how S2 of Beast Wars began - namely, with an INCREDIBLY hopeless situation for the Maximals. Primal was dead, and they barely managed to fend off Megatron's depleted forces.

And then Megatron recruited a couple fuzors, brought Blackarachnia/Inferno/Tarantulas back into the fold, Tigatron and Airazor went off on Adventure Time!, and Rhinox went into a precarious life-and-death state to bring back Primal...

Sure Primal came back after 3 episodes, but man, "Coming of the Fuzors" was amazing all the same BECAUSE he was gone and the Maximals were in dire straits due to Megatron using the obvious strategy of "assault the enemy base full force".
