    I agree. Him calling Ultra Magnus back to Cybertron seems suspect.

    Don't worry folks the Autoboot camp will show in June so I can wait til the traitor's appearance who might be Swindle. Also doesn't Cybertron Defense Scattorshot give you a Swindle Vibe?

    I'm guessing Swindle if he makes an appearance in this season. Otherwise, I doubt it's Sentinel or Ironhide.

    Could it be Jetfire? There is a upcoming Animated two pack with Jetfire and Jetstorm. Maybe Jetfire is Jetstorm in disguise?

    In Beast Machines, Jetstorm turned out to be the Maximal Silverbolt, so maybe the same sort of thing will happen with Jetfire?

    I'd love to see an Animated Doubledealer, but it's pretty unlikely. I mean, prior to Furman's re-imagining in IDW (to the point that he's getting a spotlight), he only appeared in a 5-page comic in Marvel UK.

    Granted, that 5-pager was enough to give him so much popularity that Simon Furman was self-expressedly surprised that even 20 years later people were still bringing up that story and demanding more of DD...

    has the thought occurred to anyone else here that the traitor in the autobot ranks might very well be thundercracker?

    as i remember it back when it comes to the g1 cartoon the guy always did have a good bit of unexplored character potential


    if he is the autobot traitor character development wise he just might turn out to be animated's take on armada starscream

    Thundercracker isn't in the show so far, it was said at Botcon.
    Plus a Decepticon Starscream clone at a Autobot Boot Camp? Please!

    Looks like Swindle is out of the running, because he shows up in the episode SUV, which is before Autoboot Camp.

    So maybe it is Sentinal Prime?

    Whoa, tomorrow can't come soon enough! I wanna be spoiled... :) 

    I'm pretty certain now it's gonna be Ironhide... Logic dictates so, since every other candidate has fallen out.

    Which would suck. :(  Not that I really like the character (never liked the texan-accented version of the cartoon and he was pretty much non-existent in the Marvel comics) but the IDW version kinda made me getting warmed up to him.

    If it IS him, then he better have a 'darn good reason' for betraying the Bots. Maybe Animated Bombshell or Mindwipe could be controlling him... ;) 

    Then again, there is one more candidate, but he's unlikely (due to what the creators said about beast modes): Waspinator. Him and BB as friends would work.

    I think it's Jetstorm. The reason is that Shokwave being Mr. Logic would be the double agent and the seekers might turn out to be generals for Screamer's clone army. Plus, look at Jetfire's design from last week. Doesn't it resemble a WWII fly helmet? Since BB is chasing a traitor from the miltary camp he went to, maybe Jetstorm reformatted himself to look more Decepticon. Of course, we can remember our favorite Vehicon general who turned traitor of his beliefs.
    Or it's Sentinel Prime.

    I think so too. They are being packaged together by Hasbro so it could be because he/they are the double agent. And I think He/they are the same character. Just that when evil, he goes by Jetstorm, and when good he goes by Jetfire.
