Partially, yes. Both Starscream and Shockwave were in episode 43, so if it's a big deal one isn't in 44, then it should be for both of them.

Thanks for sharing.

New Recruit is a Bumblebee "repaint/remold"

The episode's description states that Starscream's in it. That's why it's a big deal, not because he was in the previous episode

Haha, it looks like they're going out of their way to avoid showing any clear shots of the new guy. It's doing a good job of raising my anticipation, that's for sure.

Thought I saw one where Raf says: A Cybertronian escape pod?

Hmm??..

Must see again.

Someone got a "clearish" screenshot of the new guy.

His head looks so much like Starscream's at that angle

Nice. He definitely looks Prowl-ish even if the overall design is tweaked from the TF Universe game version. Though between Ratchet and Wheeljack and now this guy, the Bots sure have a lot of (mostly) white-painted Cybertronians represented. XD Whoever he is, he's definitely sleek and fast looking.

Chopperface

Was that... Grey DeLisle?

Probably just Arcee, though.

Neat.

Scrapmaker

Still wondering who it is. It could be Prowl...but then it could also be Smokescreen. Or Bluestreak. Or "totally new guy."

Stardust262

Silverstreak's color scheme and head crest, Smokescreen's 38

I shall name him Bluescreen.

I really like the way how they tease us with the new autobot.

Also, yay for more insecticon action!

Am I the only one getting tired of the same generic Insecticon foot soldiers?

If it would be Vehicons, will there be any difference?

ErbFan28

Well, that didn't reveal much....like at all.

They could at least have some variations in design and personality.

In a way, it does, lol.

With that clearer pic, I must say, if it's for that #38, I would've said Prowl especially with that face and red crest. I'm going to let #38 over rides me and said Smokescreen.

Jazzfan0217

Can't wait

! Thanks for posting this.

If its smokescreen considering his appearance, the likelyhood of prowl showing up in his traditional colours has been drastically reduced, though perhaps the model could be redecoed in black and gold

Glad someone caught that!

Yeah, he does have the Prowl-ish look about him... would be a major *squeeeeeeeeeee* if it were....

Hee hee...now the hunt is on for more shots of this one.

ThatOddGuy

Is it odd that i'm more interesting in the gun? VERY sleek in design when compared to the other bots....evokes stealth.

shroobmaster

Wow, they DIDN'T spoil the character huh? Hope they keep it up until Friday!

Bountyan

The huge amount of white on him and red head crest make him look like Prowl but I'm still in the Smokescreen camp because of the red/blue and the 38.

Wathing this video on an iphone with only 3G sucks please post another HD version

Did anybody else notice the very feminine yet not Arcee voice at :15 that said "incoming"? Is the new Autobot a female?

Would be a hell of a curveball if the new Bot we all thought was male turned out to be female.

Yeah, until you pointed it out, I didn't notice. You've got a point but I'm still fairly certain it's an Arcee scene--although she IS very different sounding. Sometimes voices get lost in these promos though

That would be amazing. Prime Team, trollface ;]. Also makes you wonder about the hinted 'partner' switching happening later on

Look at the picture of the newbie posted earlier. It may be blurry but his face is too masculine.

I don't see anything overtly masculine about the Bot's design. It's not as slight as Arcee for sure but who says all female TFs need to be small? The face doesn't really seem masculine either. It's just a flat plane with blue eyes and a mouth. There's nothing terribly gender specific about it.

New recruit is Fallback! Optimus said so!

Seriously, I'm going to shoehorn "This merits investigation" into as many conversations as possible for the foreseeable future.

With Bulkhead recovering so quickly, I have low hopes that this Autobot will last more than one episode. Oh and look, all the Decepticons get blown up. I'm really sick of the Decepticons getting slaughtered.

I still have very low hopes for this episode. Though I liked the music at the beginning of the promo.

Cliffjumper was in it too.....

Starscream is a part of the "present" cast as well....

They are not equally expected at this point......

TylerMirage

Haven't read through the whole thread yet, but...

"Autobot or Decepticon?"
"Impossible to tell."

Hmm. It's almost like that character could be using a cloak or something. You know, somehow HIDING or CONCEALING their identity from others... a mirage, if you will.
