"How to draw Optimus Prime" by Pat Lee. 1) Draw a circle. 2) Draw Optimus Prime. 3) Give him scraplets. 4) Give him leprosy.

With Jazz being the second-to-last. You hear that, Hasbro? Stop giving Jazz unhappy faces.

Series CG Supervisor Michael Launder is on Twitter (and seems to be one of the few production staff members who didn't leave the show after season 1 switched animation studios), on which he made the following response to TFHypeGuy:

Someone's sure having fun on this fine April 1, today.

It definitely has a Vince DiCola feel.

We can probably expect Astrotrain to just be the Siege mold redecoed at the very least, since Evan said in one video that a SS86 Astrotrain would more than like reuse that mold. Though, at this point, I don't think retooling it in some minor way is completely out of the question.

I said "soap opera", not "space opera"! :p

The Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Go!, Portal, and even the low-quality web series Cyber Missions, too. Not only did Rescue Bots fit the pattern, but they made sure that all four of its season finales could have sufficed as a proper season finale (well, its third and fourth...

Well, unless we ever get a TF soap opera (those somehow never end), they all come to an end eventually.

Uh, there's been no confirmation yet that the show is entirely over. Season 1 can be put up on YouTube (and Netflix) because it's well and done, but you won't see them putting up anything post-Season 1 on YouTube until it's official that the whole show is finished. Same thing happened with...

Surprise! Turns out they'll be colored orange and purple! :p

The late 2000s/2010s (Japan) When the live-action movies hit Japan, TakaraTomy made a greater effort to create a sense of brand consistency between the Japanese market and the rest of the world. Namely, all of the Hasbro names and terms were kept in the Japanese dubs of the movies, as well as...

Speaking of those comics, recall that one of the earliest Matrix bearers in that continuity's list was named Alpha Prime. It was never stated outright, but it is very plausible that this was hinting at Alpha Trion having once been this very Prime, as his G1 cartoon counterpart had been a keeper...

There were, however, three exceptions permitted during this time. The first was when it came to evil Primes. The concept of "evil Optimus lookalikes" begin with the BotCon 1996 exclusive Beast Wars figure, Onyx Primal, who was a black Predacon recolor of the original bat Optimus Primal toy...

When Beast Wars Neo rolled around, it seemingly took inspiration from the military council seen in the Beast Wars II manga by introducing the Great Convoys, a group of several robed Convoys who oversaw military governance on Seibertron under the higher authority of Vector Sigma. The main...

The mid-to-late 1990s/2000 During the Beast Era, the "Prime" title seemed to take a backseat for a while. The new main factions of Beast Wars were the Maximals and the Predacons, the "descendants" of the Autobots and Decepticons. The Maximals were led not by a single authority figure, but...

Recent discussion in the Age of the Primes thread has inspired me to share the following essay here, which I originally wrote on another board in a thread where the OP was asking for an explanation about the Primes. It is very long and will span multiple posts. --- The term "Prime" has had a...

So, I just watched the following video and was reminded of this post above, here, and according to said video, Jim Carrey actually did once try to get into cartoon voice acting at some point in his career, but the roles he auditioned for were ones where his auditions were bested by the likes of...
