Hub Commercial Reveals New Transformers Prime Character?

Perhaps this is our first look at Dreadwing/wind, as we have heard that name thrown around a few times now.

Awww man maybe Dreadwing?

First impression:

...Waspinator?...

Maybe.

Wha-?

There is no doubt in my mind that what we see here are the three insecticons. We have the central one, plus one on each side as we start the initial zoom in on them. I seriously can't wait to see these guys in action. I LOVE THE INSECTICONS!!!

How and where are people seeing Insecticons, much less three of them, in this? There's just one big muscle-bound monstrosity of Con coming down in that video, and he looks fairly humanoid from what we can make of his figure.

Well, I'm impressed and interested.

I can't be the only one who kind of wanted to see it eat that pony...

If you stop the video around 0:41, you can see what appear to be two antennae on his head. Given those, and the shape of the shadows and crown of his head there is where I got Waspinator as an initial impression.

I get an insect vibe too. Not Waspy, I think it's a badass version of Inferno. For the royalty!

The mandibles are pretty clear, maybe see the antenae. Could be an insecticon of some sort. If it is, wonder how he and Airachnid will get on :p

The head design reminds me of BW Scorponok

I think this guys face looks like a beefed up vehicon, which backs up my theory that (if it is) dreadwing will fill out the same role as his movie namesake- as an upgraded drone commander Also kinda reminds me of DOTM dreads

maybe....http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Liege_Maximo those antenna do look imposing one can only hope


they also showed 12 of the 13 original primes last season so maybe the 13th makes an appearance?

i say Barricade

He definitely looks nasty! I bet he kills someone. But yeah like, I hope he's not Dreadwind though, cause I'd like him to be more like G1 Dreadwind, even if Darkwing isn't there, don't know who this guy'd be though, I'll just wait and see cause really, I got nothin' , hopefully there'll be better pics later.

You're not.

THIS!!!

Gigan?........

Tell me someone else thinks the face looks like Gigan, lol.

I say it's Tarantulas.

I agree with the insect posts... Those mandibles and antenna really give that away. And as far as my earlier post about being all three Insecticons... I was basing it off of this shot...



Red lines showing the standing locations and how they are overlapped with one another.

It felt like we were looking up at the (Bot or Bots) from below as they are leaning in together almost like a football huddle and looking down at us (camera). Then as the camera zoomed up towards them it was then fixed in on the just the center one.
I also went this route due to the lack of symmetry of the shapes and the lights on both sides of the central figure in the fog.

After watching it a few more times I am leaning more towards ONE larger bot like the rest of you... But I am definitely sticking to the insect idea.

that pic could be one guy with big hands or big weapons (look like maces) in his hands...or just arm kibble.

I hope it's Shrapnel. I've always loved that character and his creeped out voice.

although i can see the validity of the insect idea, i dont thinnk its an insecticon. yes i see the antennae and the little pincer things, but then again other have had things on their faces and werent insects. i still say dreadwing.

as far as barricade goes, here he is, so it cant be him

I saw this in the Hub about a week ago and I knew it had something to do with TF Prime, but I was uncertain.

Looks like it might be shockwave.

Pinkie Pie, I swear it's the new decepticon is Pinkie Pie.

the embed isn't working may someone please give me a link?

I'm thinking those look kind of like bird wings.

How do we even know this is a transformer?

Kinda reminds of the dreads

Because this is a transformers show i think its safe to say that theres not any other things it could be lolz

plus, i think the big things on the side of the robot are arms :O large and possibly winglike yes, but arms nonetheless

This guy is looking pretty cool I want to see more!

Can't be an Insecticon. They're Cybertronian animals in this universe. This is what they all look like:


If anything, it's probably most likely Dreadwing, as he's the only major character reveal we've heard about (aside from Wheeljack returning) for season 2.

Looking at it again. Now its head looks shape like the helmet of Beast Machines Megatron.

Nearly every Movie Decepticon had "mandibles" of some variety. These days, mandibles seem to be a sign of just "evil" rather than "bug".

There is still a character coming in season 2 named "Dreadwing" regardless.

Those two objects to the sides of the middle object are the guy's huge arms.

What, you think it's a GoBot?

There's no other show on the Hub that uses this kind of animation.

Exactly.

ehh, its possible they could bring cliffjuper back in a flashback; plus theres a buncha new toys so it might be a saffe assumption that said characters will appear, especially ironhide since he's getting a cyberverse and a deluxe

It is very plausible it is Dreadwing but I catch my self wondering if its not a transformer created by M.E.C.H. after they had captured Breakdown and looked inside him. Opinions?

P.S. I really hope its Waspinator I would blow a nut if it was. Seeing Waspinator getting trashed by Prime and the gang and Megz/Starscream would be so fun.

Heyyyyyy thats not a bad theory

If I remember correctly the old guy that leads M.E.C.H. made a comment about re-creating the transformer technology at the end of an episode I believe. Maybe even the same one where they looked inside Breakdown. So whose isn't to say he wont create an army of drones/transformers to rule the world or whatever gets him off?

When they announced and unveiled Ironhide, the spelled out that him getting a toy would not guarantee an appearance by him in the show. At least, not right away.

And Cliffjumper being in flashbacks wouldn't count as him "coming back".

Also, might wanna fix the coding on that post.

Well, his appearance in Animated proves that he doesn't have to be the butt monkey who gets blown up all the time. In Animated, he was Nightmare Fuel mixed with a taste of Epicness and Bad-A-double-S-ness (I don't cuss).

Like I said before, there's no other show on the Hub besides TF: Prime that uses this kind of animation.

Am I mistaken that his eyes are actually gold, rather than the usual blue and red? I wonder if that has significance. Maybe a M.E.C.H. experiment gone wrong? That would be a very interesting and unique origin story for a new Bot or Con...

That is very plausible that they created a transformer with a personality, aka not a drone, and they are not able to control it but you would think M.E.C.H would have been smart enough to put in fail safes when they built it so that it couldn't go rouge.

why would they be against their transformer being red in france?

As a follower of the show of that pony i just wanna say that Pinkie pie would would OBLITERATE any decepticon in seconds. she is a loon after all. And how dare u want Pinky pie to be eaten!

but to the subject: As long as the character shows to be a worthy character of being liked, i don't care who it is. it does resemble an insecticon or waspinator, either way i AM PSYCHED to see it in action!!!



PS: i can't see multiple of them(the con) in the background as someone stated they saw.

It's quite easy, you simply go to the nearest rock cliff and ask Unicron what kjind of sauce he likes to dip his HORSE meat in, and how it should be prepared. Char broiled? Medium? ATILL RAW AND KICKING WHEN IT GOES DOWN!!

IS NO ONE A BRONY!!! but ya that would be a cool way to see pinkie pie go, problem is that she is a troll and she breaks the laws of physics, A LOT.

Yea it's a bad edit of an awesome video, but it's still pretty hilarious.


As on the topic of this thing, who ever it is he's freaking huge.
So it's ether a Prime (Fallen maybe?) or as others have stated a reverse engineered MECH TF.
