    Possible? Maybe. Entirely? Not really. I just can't see an actor of Combs' experience making that kind of mistake.

    Well judging from the thread, it was still news to most of us. :/

    Do you have a link? I'd like to read that, cause all I originally remembered was that one post from Combs site.

    The original story from Combs' site is gone. We only have reports from Transformers and such sites now.

    Quite an underrated perfomer I'd say, been following his work since his "The Warriors" days. so it's good news to me.

    Susan Blu was replaced as voice director, so that doesn't preclude them replacing Combs as Ratchet.

    Yeah, I was asking if there was another offical source other then that, cause that's what I thought Solo was suggesting.

    If Comb's post was the only source on him being connected to TF Prime, and it got taken down, I don't know if that can really be used as reliable information anymore.

    Exactly. As far as we know, something else may have come up for Combs and the scheduling just didn't work out.

    Well, his news was the very first report of what the series was called and how many episodes were in the season. This was some time before Hasbro/The Hub officially announced the name of the series.

    I am hoping it was taken off his site merely because Combs' website staff had jumped the gun.

    Interesting that Charlie Adler provides a voice in the G.I Joe cartoon, but isn't listed under Transformers. Either it's just a partial cast list and he's in it but not listed, or he's not reprising Starscream. Which would be a shame, I like his Starscream.

    Yeah, sorry. Didn't mean the guy who posted the news article. Meant the guy wrote the press release.

    You missed my point, i wasn't upset that he posted news of the new 4 actors but he portrayed it like it was ALL news which to me is bad reporting and misrepresentation from a 'newsperson' standpoint.

    Sir,
    I'm sorry... Now I have to say something here. All we did was report the News "As It Is" on the Press Release. I know we had confirmations regarding Cullen and few others (I am the first person in the transformers community to break those news, our members know that). But there are 4 new names along with the old names. We can't blame Hasbro for publishing names of the New Characters along with the old names.
    I'll give you an example...
    On Revenge of the Fallen Credit Roll they named the the returning characters such as Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee etc. with new names like Sideswipe, Twins etc. They didn't just say "OK the credits will only show the new characters."
    I work really hard to bring you all, these news.
    As for Josh Keaton, he didn't mention a single word to me (Or at his official blog, site, twitter) regarding Bumblebee. He gave me hints. (And yes, He's a friend of mine, sort of).
    I'm sure you'll understand.
    Wishing you a wonderful future with your work.

    I know it's been said before, but what happened to Jeffrey Combs!? Hopefully he is still confirmed and this is new casting info. Also not listed was Michael Bell who's doing a human character last we heard as I recall.

    Aside from that, some nice casting. Gina Torres - cool! And it'll be great to have another former Spider-Man as BB, though why not just use Gilvezan again? He seemed like he'd be up for repiring the role from the questions last year at TFCOn. I'm just so glad we aren't getting silent BB again though. One of the parts of the new Hasbro cannon I was starting to worry over, so this is good news. Bring on the Spectacular Spider-Bee!
