    Why are people saying that Bulkhead will die? He can't die in a stand alone episode this quickly. Do you have ANY idea how heartbreaking that would be for Miko and all of us? Come on, the Hub isn't that cruel. ... I hope. Look, it may be expensive to make new character models seen as this is CG, but they wouldn't kill any characters, let alone the big lug this soon. ... I better watch Animated and remind myself why I love Bulk and why I might cry. OH GOD! ITS GOING TO BE CODE OF HERO ALL OVER AGAIN! ... A bit.

    Fun fact for the few who don't know, Dreadwing is voiced by Tony Todd, aka The Fallen. Really looking forward to him.

    Sorry, I meant to say single episodes. If they were going to kill off someone it might be a two parter.

    Because he's not right and not who he should be and he's boring and...

    Hey, did you guys realize you're basing your interest in a character based on...3 minutes of time we actually got to see him?

    And no, I don't consider the Makeshift Wheeljack to be part of Prime Wheeljack's air time, it wasn't the real him.



    Frankly, let the episode focusing on the real Wheeljack be your source, cause it seems like that's where we'll see most of his character come out.

    No, a lot of us are basing it on the tired character archetype to which TFP Wheeljack belongs. This Wheeljack could be the best example of that archetype ever created, and it would still leave me flat.

    You're right that we can't judge the character based only on what little we've actually seen of him. But you are wrong that we can't judge the character type, which isn't interesting to many.


    And again, my preference would have been to get a completely NEW character. Not one we've already seen, even if only for a few minutes.

    Original Wheeljack never worked as that for me anyway. He was supposed to be an scientist inventor, but he had the voice and speech of a garbage collector, imo. I've yet to really enjoy ANY version of Wheeljack as a character.

    But STILL.

    Every time in comics or cartoons or whatever when we get some new team, almost every time, the writer tries to give us a Wolverine. Look, kids! He's edgy, and he's a badass, and he plays by his own rules!! Whoa -- isn't he cool?

    And almost without exception, that is the character I end up liking the least. He's always easily identifiable. You look at a team line-up and you can usually point to him right away. "He's going to be the Wolverine of the team." Fucking BORING.

    Actually he´s more a special forces operative like Rambo or Matrix from Commando. He´s not like Wolverine at all.

    We don't know that Bulkhead may die in this episode or not it's just that the speculation points to him as being the most possible canidate. Listen I like the big lug myself and trust me I would like it if they didn't kill off any of the Autobots. I still worry for Arcee myself. Sadly though it may be the case and yes it'll leave a horrible blow to poor Miko. :(  However if Bulkhead gets an heroic death it'll make him famous.

    I doubt Arcee will die (at least in season 2). Her voice actor made a Facebook post about her being excited about season 3 a few weeks ago

    I know. I was just reassuring him about how it got the rest of us a little worried about some out favourite characters biting the bullet.

    Well if Bulkhead is going to die, it would be nice if he went out in a blaze of glory

    I agree. If he went out in a manner like BW Dinobot and Armada Starscream it'll make him very memroble!

    Yeah it probably would. His character could use it since he hasn't done much in the Transformers universe, and probably wont do anything again for a few years since I doubt Prime is anywhere close to done

    I think its funny how so many are saying Dreadwing reminds them of this bot or that bot but lol, he looks just like Skyquake to me just a different color lol. THis to me kind of is a bit cheap in the fact that with a new characte such as Dreadwing, we could have gotten a new character look. This is going to suck for the Voyager toy for Dreadwing as it will just be a Skyquake repaint lol

    I say tomato and you say tomahto. You know Wolverine was kind of a Special Forces operative at one point, too, right?
