Transformers Prime New Autobot Cast Addition - Transformers News - TFW2005

Who could it be? David Kaye's character, perhaps?

 

Fingers crossed for Ironhide.

 

i am very interested to see who it is!

 

I'm calling it now.

Has to be Prowl

 

I'm hoping for prowl or Drift, springer would be fun too. I just pray to god it's not hot rod.

 

i'm the opposite, a rodimus in transformers prime style would be AWESOME

have Rodimus have the personality of a hot shot young warrior who is cocky would be awesome

 

Believe it or not, it's just me!  

But seriously, this is double-whammy for me - where the hell was I when David Kaye was announced? Anywho, I hope he gets to use that famous BW Megs voice.  

As for the character, Grimlock or Ironhide, either of which are [former] Wreckers.  

 

He confirmed it at Auto Assembly 2011. Also mentioned Miko's VA is a real sweet kid or something to that effect.

 

I wonder if it's just a "show up one or two episodes, leave later, and come back after a few arcs" Autobot like Animated Wreck-Gar or Prime Wheeljack or one that will become a part of the team on Earth permanently.

 

Ah, thank ye.  

 

Diedrich Bader As Ironhide

 

It's gotta be David Kaye! It's gotta be! Or it could be James Remar.  

 

I really am hoping it is either Ironhide or Sideswipe! I would love to see Transformers Prime's take on these two characters!

 

Guys! Hasbro said that they have NO plans for Ironhide....yet. James Remar as Movie inspired Sideswipe plz!  

 

Oh man! Please don't let it be David Kaye! He's a horrible voice actor! I hope it's Michael Bell or Neil Ross!

 

Calling it: going to be either Prowl or Ironhide.

Not sure if trolling or just ignorant.

 

........are you frickin SERIOUS!!

he's one of the best voice actors in transformers, seriously, this scene right here is proof of just how amazing a voice actor he is:

Transformers Beast Wars: Megatron Enters the Ark HD - YouTube

David Kaye has been confirmed to be in transformers prime, thank goodness, it was sad to see him not be apart of a transformers series after being in them for years in a row

but anyways, it is probably ironhide or prowl, ironhide already has a cyberverse toy coming out

 

You can hear a hint of Ironhide in that clip

 

Sweet to see Cullen, Welker and Blum kickin' back at the recording studio! Wish I knew what Mr. Cullen was laughing at.

Is it possible the new 'bot could be the return of Wheeljack? Or are we sure that it's a completely new character?

Yup, that's what I heard. He described Tania as "the sweetest kid".

 

Yesssss!!!!!!!
