About the Show

Optimus Prime (leader of the autobots), Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet,  Bulkhead, and the rest of the heroic Autobots as they battle the evil Decepticons. Now that  Megatron (leader of the desepticons) has returned with a mysterious and dangerous element (dark energon), Team Prime must prepare for an epic battle. But that's not so easy when they have to guard over Jack, Miko, and Raf : three normal kids who’ve accidentally discovered the Autobots. As Team Prime works to defend Earth from destruction.



Autobots:

Optimus Prime:

Leader of the autobots,transforms into a red and blue long nose-truck cab and wields a legendary sword called The Star Saber. Before the Great Autobot-Decepticon war that made Cybertron inhabitable  Optimus was a data clerk named Orion Pax, and worked in Cybertron's Hall of Records. This was until Primus (the creator of Cybertron and the Transformers) bestowed Orion with The Matrix of Leadership, which contained the collective wisdom of the Primes, and he took the role of Autobot leader. Optimus is voiced by Peter Cullen.

Ratchet:

A veteran Autobot medic, transforms into a white and red ambulance. His robot mode design and grouchy personality are similar to the Transformers: Animated version of Ratchet. At first, Ratchet is apprehensive about humans becoming involved with Autobot activity and is hostile towards Jack, Miko and Rafael. This changes throughout the course of the series as he develops a friendship with Rafael. Optimus Prime frequently refers to Ratchet as "old friend", as they knew each other long before the war started, when Optimus was still Orion Pax .Ratchet is voiced by Jeffrey Combs.

Arcee:

Courageous female Autobot,transforms  into a blue motorcycle. Jack Darby's Autobot guardian at the start of the series, she develops a close bond with him. Arcee's main character arc in the series is coming to terms with the deaths of her previous battle partners (Tailgate and Cliffjumper), who were both killed by Decepticons (Starscream,Airachnid). As the smallest member of the team, she compensates for her stature by being an acrobatic, agile fighter of great skill.Arcee is voised by Sumalee Montano.

Bumblebee:

A young Autobot scout, transforms into a yellow and black sports car called an "Urbana 500" (a fictional make and model) based on his Chevrolet Camaro vehicle form the live-action films. During the war, Megatron tore out Bumblebee's voice box in an interrogation attempt. As a result, Bumblebee is unable to speak properly, communicating instead through a series of electronic sound effects. He is the Autobot guardian for Rafael Esquivel, who is the only human in the series able to understand his alternative speech patterns.

Bulkhead:

An Autobot warrior, transforms into a large, green SUV, and is based on the Transformers: Animated character of the same name. Before the war, Bulkhead was a construction worker, but when the war began he joined an Autobot commando unit called "The Wreckers" along with his friend Wheeljack and other Autobots. On Earth, Bulkhead serves as Miko Nakadai's Autobot guardian, and while he is often aggravated by Miko's reckless actions, they develop a strong friendship.Bulkhead is voised by Kevin Michael  Richardson.

Smokeskreen:

Ayoung and impulsive yet inexperienced Autobot who joins Team Prime in the series' second season, having found his way to Earth after escaping from a Decepticon prison ship. During the war, Smokescreen was given the duty of guarding the archivist Alpha Trion at Cybertron's Hall of Records, but he always longed to fight on the battlefield as a proper soldier, which he never had the opportunity to do until arriving on Earth. He transforms into a silver, blue and red sports car, and his robot mode design is based on the Generation 1 version of Smokescreen.Smokeskreen is voised by Nolan North.

Cliffjumper:

A brash and talkative Autobot warrior, and Arcee's battle partner. Transforms into a red muscle car that resembles a First Generation Dodge Challenger, decorated with bull horns on the hood. In the first few scenes of the series' first episode, "Darkness Rising, Part 1", Cliffjumper is captured by a group of Vehicons and killed by Starscream. Megatron then uses Cliffjumper's dead body to demonstrate the effects of Dark Energon, and the substance turns the body into a mindless and aggressive zombie, which is soon destroyed. Cliffjumper continues to appear in Arcee's flashbacks to the war, in the episodes "Predatory" (where he helped to rescue Arcee from Airachnid) and "Out of the Past" (where he worked with Arcee to sabotage Starscream and Shockwave's Space Bridge).Cliffjumper is voiced by Dwayn Johnson.

Wheljack:

Bulkhead's best friend from the days of the war, a former member of the Wreckers and a skilled swordsman who pilots a star ship called "The Jack-Hammer" (Renamed "Star-Hammer" in the series' toy line). His robot mode design is based on the Generation 1 version of Wheeljack, and he transforms into a white, green and red sports car that is modelled on the Lancia Stratos vehicle form of the original character. Despite being offered a place on the team twice, Wheeljack has so far never joined Optimus Prime's team, preferring instead to travel around on his own. However, he often lends his skills to the team whenever he is needed in a situation.Wheljack is voiced by James Horan.

Tailgate:

Arcee’s partner killed on Cybertron by Arachnid during the war.Tailgate is voised by Josh Keaton.

Decepticons:


Megatron:

Captain of the warship Nemesis. He transforms into a silver and purple Cybertronian jet that is based on his vehicle form in the first live-action Transformers film. Before the war, Megatron (then calling himself Megatronus after one of the original thirteen Transformers) fought as a gladiator in the city of Kaon, and he and Orion Pax were close friends. This changed however when the war corrupted his ideals, and he became a brutal warlord.Megatron is voised by Frank Welker.

Starscream:

Second-in-command of Megatron's Decepticon army, and transforms into a silver fighter jet resembling an F-16 Fighting Falcon. Like most incarnations of the character, Starscream is cowardly, self-serving and treacherous, longing to overthrow Megatron as the Decepticon leader. He went rogue by the end of the first season, and struggled to survive on his own in the second season, often finding himself escaping many life-threatening situations. By the end of the season, Starscream proposes a truce with Megatron, and rejoins the Decepticons.Starscream is voised by Steven Blum.

Soundwave:

Decepticon spy and hacker who transforms into a blue UAV drone aircraft resembling an MQ-9 Reaper. He is a walking database full of information, and has the ability to hack into advanced computer systems, as well as record and play back anything said or done on board the Nemesis. Soundwave has never spoken in the series, and while he is able to speak, he simply chooses not to. Laserbeak : Bird-like surveillance drone which deploys from Soundwave's chest and transforms into his chest armor.

Knock Out:

Decepticons medic and scientist who transforms into a red sports car with gold rims resembling an Aston Martin DBS V12. He is very self-obsessed, taking great pride in his appearance, becoming enraged whenever his vehicle form's paint job is scratched or damaged in any way, and rarely caring about his patients or medical work in general.Knock Out is voised by Daran Norris.

Breakdown:

Powerful and brutish Decepticon warrior who shares a long rivalry with Bulkhead. He transforms into a blue, heavily armored military truck equipped with a missile turret on the roof. In the episode "Crossfire", Megatron orders Breakdown and Dreadwing to kill Airachnid for plotting to overthrow him, but Airachnid overpowers Breakdown and kills him by slicing his body into pieces with her claws. Breakdown's remains are later found by a group of M.E.C.H. foot soldiers, and M.E.C.H. scientists use the parts to construct a life-support system and suit of battle armor for the dying Silas.Breakdown is voised by Adam Baldwin.

Airachnid:

Devious female Decepticon who traumatized Arcee during the war by killing Tailgate in front of her. When the war ended, Airachnid left Cybertron and explored the galaxy on her own, collecting the severed heads of various alien species, but she becomes stranded on Earth when her ship crashes and then briefly rejoins Megatron's army, replacing Starscream as second-in-command, but goes rogue again when Megatron orders to have her killed for plotting against him. Airachnid transforms into a black helicopter, and while she is in robot mode the helicopter's rotors unfold and extend into long legs akin to those of a spider. She can also shoot spider webs from her wrists, produce a highly corrosive acid, and telepathically control Insecticons.Airachnid is voised by Gina Torres.

Dreadwing:

Former captain of a Seeker armada, and has a penchant for planting explosives around the battlefield to surprise his enemies. He transforms into a blue and yellow fighter jet resembling an F-35 Lightning II, and shares the same body template as his twin brother Skyquake. Dreadwing came to Earth after sensing Skyquake's death from across the galaxy, and upon arriving he joins Megatron's army, replacing the treacherous Airachnid as second-in-command. When Starscream proposes a truce with Megatron, Dreadwing discovers that Starscream revived Skyquake's corpse as a Terrorcon and he angrily attempts to kill him. Megatron steps in and kills Dreadwing when he refuses to stand down. Megatron then tells Starscream not to make him regret on whose life he chose to spare.Dreadwing is voised by Tony Todd.

Shockwave:

Assassin of the Decepticons and inventor who stayed on Cybertron after the war ended to develop a Space Bridge. His robot mode design features a combination of elements from the Generation 1, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and live-action film versions of Shockwave. Despite being introduced in the series' second season, Shockwave only appeared in Arcee's flashbacks to the war, and will not become part of the series' main story until the third season.Shockwave is voised by David Sobolov.

Vehicons:

Vehicons are hundreds of identical Decepticon foot soldiers that make up the bulk of Megatron's army. Some transform into sports cars resembling the EcoJet Concept, and others transform into Cybertronian fighter jets, but they generally all share a uniform color scheme of black and purple, with the only exceptions being a squadron of Jet Vehicons led by Starscream who are white and grey in color. Vehicons are adaptable to many different situations including aerial combat, security patrol, and mining work, and unlike the Vehicons from Transformers: Beast Machines, they are not mindless and are shown to have individual personalities.Vehicons voises are variable.

Insecticons:

Insecticons are a race of Decepticons that transform into giant, mechanical insects. Every Insecticon that has appeared in the series so far has shared the same alternate form: a giant insect that is black, grey, and purple and resembles a male Hercules Beetle. Megatron commands an enormous hive of Insecticons that reside in a chamber on the Nemesis. The Insecticons in Transformers: Prime are much more feral and primitive than their Generation 1 namesakes, and while some are capable of speech, the majority behave like predatory animals and react violently to the sight of anything they recognize as an Autobot.
