    ^Yeah, Jazz would be a nice addition to the team. He would brighten things up a little, provided the writers don't fuck him up.

    A lot of the Jazz fan will be hoping that this character will appear in this season but so far they are still sticking on to the same old character that are showing currently now

    Seems TF Prime gets new cast members in one of three ways:

    Guest stars that rarely appear. (Wheeljack)
    Characters who show up to die. (Skyquake, Makeshift)
    New full-time characters that basically replace* old characters (Dreadwing)
    *I'm aware Breakdown and Dreadwing co-existed for a time, but it feels like a swap-out of one big blue guy for another.

    I'm torn on which I would prefer. I seem to recall a synopsis that implied Bulkhead was in danger - I could see them "swapping" him out for Ironhide. I think having ANOTHER rogue Autobot would be weird, and I don't want him to just show up for one arc and then die.

    Of couse, I would love it if we could get an actual 6th member to Team Prime and keep them all. Also, I think the Decepticons need more troops, so maybe he'll be one of them.

    I agree with your observations regarding how new characters make their way into the show. The producers seem loathe to allow the cast to grow too large for fear of JLA syndrome; where the cast gets so large and unwieldy that you could never properly do them all justice (pardon the pun). I'd say they're in zero danger of that though since the cast is so mercifully small at this point.

    Anyway, I think it will be more towards the end of this season if/when we will see another Autobot. Already Wheeljack has peeled off to explore, just to maintain the image of the Aubobots as on the ropes, so imagine if they brought him back full time. He'd perhaps tip the balance and make the Autobots seem too capable. I can't even imagine bringing in yet another Autobot at this point. Good lord the Autobots might actually appear to *GASP* have a chance at winning this weird war.

    The VA mentioned in the news article was the VA for Seaspray. True to the character, there was no lines recorded for the character.

    Well, this season's halfway over, so it would make sense to bring in someone new as part of whatever multi-episode arc finishes out the season.

    But as an aside: have they introduced any new characters this season who weren't re-uses from last season (a-la dreadwing)? Is it really *just* the insecticon? That would lead me to believe there's a lot of unused money in the budget for new characters in this season, so where are they?
