Transformers: Prime is an American computer-animated television series based on the Transformers toy franchise by Hasbro. It premiered in the United States on The Hub, which is partly owned by Hasbro. The series' first two episodes was broadcast on Friday, November 26, 2010, at 4:00pm Eastern/3:00pm Central on The Hub television network, as a special preview. It was broadcast officially on Monday, November 29, 2010, at 6:30pm Eastern/5:30pm Central. On February 11, 2011, the series started to air new episodes, under the name of Transformers: Prime – The Animated Series. Other channels air the series internationally. The second season began airing on February 18, 2012. A third season has been announced to air in the spring of 2013,[1][2] and will most likely open with an arc of the Autobots facing a beast-like Decepticon.[3][4][5]

The first season became available for instant streaming through Netflix on April 5, 2012. The second season became available on December 7, 2012.

The series has been well-received and has won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards. Transformers: Prime is rated TV-Y7-FV, despite its darker, more violent tone. Many references to other Transformers continuities have appeared in the series, but have not been fully explained.

Production

Concept

After the success of High Moon Studios' third-person shooter game Transformers: War for Cybertron, Hasbro placed the continuity of the series into that of War for Cybertron's.[citation needed] Hasbro created a 400-page Transformers production bible titled the "Binder of Revelation" for Prime.[6] Whereas the movies were about a boy and his car, the dynamic between the kids and the robots on the show was meant to be more like The Iron Giant.[7]

The first designs of the characters were first shown off at Botcon 2010 at its panel, and shown the second time at San Diego Comic Con 2010.

Animation

Digitalscape Company Limited, famous for their work on such titles as Soulcalibur III, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive Paradise, developed the CGI Animation of Transformers: Prime. Although Digitalscape ran a job fair looking for a talent to work on the production, Polygon Pictures ultimately won. Jose Lopez,[disambiguation needed] character designer, described the animation of the series as "groundbreaking mix of 2D animation and CGI." A show on the level of Transformers: Prime would take about two years to produce, but the animators only had ten months, so five episodes were animated at a time (hence the monthly gaps during a season).

Music

Film composer Brian Tyler serves as the music composer for Transformers: Prime. Matthew Margeson is the music arranger for the series, first arranging the fifteen episodes of the series. The music features a large live orchestra, a rarity in contemporary television scores. The official soundtrack of Transformers: Prime was released on iTunes on March 6, 2012, and on CD on March 13, 2012.

Plot

Set in the timeline after the novels and video games preceding the television series, Prime began with a five-part mini-series titled "Darkness Rising", which served to introduce the main characters and provide a back story on the Transformers and their war.

Mini-Series

In Jasper, Nevada, three young humans, Jack Darby, Miko Nakadai, and Rafael Esquivel, are accidentally caught in the crossfire in a fight between enormous robots that transform into vehicles. They are taken to the base of the heroic Autobots, where their leader Optimus Prime explains that he and his team consisting of Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee, are from the planet Cybertron, and not long ago the Autobots had a devastating war against the ruthless Megatron and his followers, the Decepticons. While this is going on, Megatron returns from a three-year-long exile in deep space, bringing with him Dark Energon, a substance able to revive the dead and he sets out to raise a vast army of the undead and conquer Earth. In the conclusion to Darkness Rising, Megatron is seen in front of the Space Bridge waiting for his army of the undead to come through it; however, the Space Bridge explodes, and Megatron is seen no more. (During this mini-series, Arcee's partner, Cliffjumper is killed in the first episode, setting the tone for the series.)

Season 1

After Megatron's supposed death during the explosion that destroyed the Decepticons' Space Bridge, Starscream appoints himself as the new Decepticon leader, but to his annoyance, Megatron is found barely alive in the wreckage of the Space Bridge. Megatron remains in a coma for a portion of the first season until he returns to power. New characters are introduced such as the Autobot known as Wheeljack, Silas, leader of a group of human villains known as MECH, the rogue Decepticon known as Airachnid and the Decepticons known as Skyquake, Makeshift, Knock Out and Breakdown. At the end of the season, the Autobots form an uneasy alliance with Megatron when Earth is threatened by an ancient enemy from the past called Unicron the Chaos Bringer.

Season 2

Following the events of the season 1 finale, Optimus Prime has lost all memory of his previous life as well as the collective wisdom of the Primes when he surrenders the Matrix of Leadership during the fierce battle with Unicron. He reverts to his original identity of Orion Pax and Megatron tricks "Orion" into joining the Decepticons. Jack helps the Autobots to restore the Matrix of Leadership as well as Optimus' memories and they eventually succeed. The main theme for the rest of the season is the discovery of ancient relics from the Vaults of Iacon on Cybertron buried on Earth, such as the Apex Armor, an indestructible suit of body armor, the Star Saber, a legendary sword and the Phase Shifter, a device that allows its user to walk through solid matter, with the Autobots and Decepticons fighting over each new discovery which ultimately leads their battle all the way back to Cybertron. New characters introduced in the second season include the Autobot Smokescreen, the Decepticons known as Shockwave and Dreadwing as well as a swarm of Insecticons.

Season 3

At the New York Comic Con on October 11, 2012 Transformers: Prime: Beast Hunters was revealed, and is set to be released in Spring 2013. The season will begin with the Autobots recovering following the Decepticons' attack on their base. It will also feature the Autobots having to face a new beast-like Decepticon called Predaking and the return of Shockwave. A recent trailer reveals that Shockwave will create the Predacons, but will lose control over them, and the Predacons will come to Earth to hunt the Autobots one by one.[2]

The major antagonists appearing throughout the series are the Decepticons, who are present on Earth to plunder deposits of Energon, and they regularly come into conflict with Optimus Prime and the Autobots. They are primarily stationed in a space warship called the Nemesis. The more important Decepticons appearing in the series are:

  • Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons who transforms into a Cybertronian jet (voiced by Frank Welker in the English version and Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese version).
  • Starscream, Megatron's treacherous second-in-command, who leaves the Decepticons towards the end of the first season, but later rejoins them towards the end of the second season. His Earth vehicle mode is a jet (voiced by Steven Blum in the English version and Satoshi Tsuruoka in the Japanese version).
  • Soundwave, the Decepticon infiltrator and communicator who turns into a drone-type jet. He has a scout drone named "Laserbeak" who turns into his chest armor. He is the only Decepticon to not have a voice actor, and while he can speak, he simply chooses not to.
  • Knock Out, the Decepticons' narcissistic medic who transforms into a Aston martin db9 (voiced by Daran Norris in the English version and Yasunori Masutani in the Japanese version).

She appeared in the 2 seasons of Transformers: Prime and acquired an Earth based vehicle mode of a helicopter, as well as possesses an ability to control insect-like Transformers known as Insecticons. (voiced by Gina Torres in the English version and Ryōka Yuzuki in the Japanese version).
  • Dreadwing, the former captain of a Seeker armada, who becomes second-in-command of the Decepticons after Airachnid goes rogue; introduced early on in the second season and is killed off in the second-to-last episode of said season (voiced by Tony Todd in the English version and Masami Iwasaki in the Japanese version).
