New Autobot: Grimlock (It would be a great homage to the spotlight comics)

What if this new Autobot who's come searching for a Decepticon is actually the very Decepticon he's claiming to be looking for?

Sentinel Prime is long dead in this continuity. If he were to show up, all of the Autobots would immediately suspect that he was an imposter.

It's not Ironhide.Hypershock wrote:Duuuuuuuude!!!! yep, its ironhide. also, this kind of debunks the rumor that prime doesnt get his memmory back, at least to some degree
And it doesn't debunk the possibility of Optimus not getting his memories back. He can still go back the Autobots and rename himself "Optimus Prime" without actually getting his memories restored.

o, i can understand te optimus bit. but how do u know it's not ironhide? -.-

Because when Hasbro unveiled the Ironhide toy prototype, production of season 2 was already well underway and they said they had no plans for Ironhide to appear in the show at this time. If Ironhide were to eventually show up, it would probably be during season 3.Hypershock wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's not Ironhide.Hypershock wrote:Duuuuuuuude!!!! yep, its ironhide. also, this kind of debunks the rumor that prime doesnt get his memmory back, at least to some degree

however, they kind of already did that with wheeljack

Well, think of it like this. New Autobot comes, says he's tracking down a Con, Team Prime are in awe of him (minus Optimus), then later, new Bot doublecrosses them and is all "You know that Con I was searching for? Well, I AM that Con! Mwahahaha! " A way to make it work better is if he *doesn't* fail in his mission like Makeshift did, as there would be no Wheeljack-role character to foil his plans.Hypershock wrote:Sabrblade wrote:D'oh!

Haven't seen the toy but is Ironhide closer to G1 or the Movie? I'd prefer if he was G1 influenced and voiced by Cullen.
I'm enjoying Prime at the moment but I really wish we had a larger cast. Not a fan of Bulkhead or Bumblebee. Cliffjumper and Wheeljack were great and looked a lot cooler but each only lasted an episode.
Pity they didn't bring Rodimus or Prowl over from Animated instead of Bulkhead. He's not a bad character, just don't like his head design.

Dreadwing isn't Skyquake Dreadwing comes from the same Protoform mouled

Yeah, true. Also another one, maybe it's a Sideburn-esque deal from the Animated comics? Drone that shows a lot of sentience but actually created by the Decepticons to spy on the Autobots?

Yes, "At this time." And when did we see the prototype for that toy? Wasn't that at Botcon 2011? And that was in June of last year. This is merely Episode #6. Changes can be made over time, and it's possible that Episode 6 wasn't thought of yet. We can't be so matter of fact until we see some sort of visual preview. Right now we are in the Speculation Stage.
Keep in mind what we've seen at Toy Fair this year is not a prototype.

While i do agree with that pov, sabrblade is kind of right, shows like that take a loooooong time to plot and animate, so they couldnt really work it in last second. HOWEVER, sabrblade, that they still had five to ten episodes left to air, so he could have meant that he wasnt going to be in them. Or, y'know, he could just be lying because of spoilers. Lotta shows did/do that, if anyone was a Lost fan like i am you know what im talking about

We know they has said there will be dinobots and combiners... so Grimlock a possibility.
We know ironhide was slated for the show, and was changed to Bulkhead. We know they said Ironhide will not be in the show some time ago. Ironhide has a toy. But, Ironhide is unlikely to be an 'unstable rogue bot'.
Grimlock is likely to be an 'unstable rogue bot', and if any connection to WFC/FoC - he is legendary, too.
My money is on Grimlock.
Posted by At0mic Cav3man on February 28th, 2012 @ 11:46pm CST
I'd be happy with Grimlock, don't get me wrong.
My main concern is that this episode sounds an awful lot like Wheeljack's episode from Season 1. I hope this doesn't become a once a season thing.
Either way, I just want to see more characters show up. I know it costs more money with CG shows to add new characters, and a smaller cast allows for more character development, but come on! They already have a Wheeljack model in the system, lets get that guy back on earth!

noun
a person whose reckless behavior endangers the efforts or welfare of others.
a person or thing that appears to be beyond control and is potentially a source of unintentional damage
a loudmouth; a braggart. : As it turned out, he's not just a loose cannon. He makes sense.
One who is uncontrolled and therefore a serious and unpredictable danger. For example, We can't trust her to talk to the press; she's a loose cannon. This metaphoric expression alludes to cannon mounted on the deck of a sailing ship, which if dislodged during combat or a storm could cause serious damage to both vessel and crew by sliding about. Its figurative use dates from the first half of the 1900s.

I know what loose cannon means, im sayin it could be a double entendre, i.e. title= Loose Cannons, ironhide has two big cannons and he's a loose cannon.
I would like to clarify my position, i will not deny that i am a huge ironhide fan and would like him on the show. However, i do not necessarily think he might be in this episode, im just pointing out that most of the evidence points more to ironhide than to anyone else. I will be disappointed if he doesnt appear, but i wont be mad because you're right, they havent said ironhide will be on the show.
