  • We almost had pirates called the Star Seekers, led by Thundertron. Then, Transformers Prime took another direction and Predacons were put in instead. However, the pirates appeared in the books. Here is everything you need to know about the Star Seekers!

    This actually feeds back into one of the things I disliked about Transformers Prime.
    One of the things I love about the Transformers franchise is how many unique and interesting concept it is able to explore.
    Just look at MTMTE, Beast Wars, Animated, Cyberverse and even the original cartoon.
    Its a shame that Prime had to scrap so many concepts either because of budget, animation limit, cooperate mandates or its connection to the WFC games.
    The Wreckers ? No, cant model all of them.
    Trypticon actually transforming ? No way with this budget and animation.
    Starscream clones ? Can't be anyone we know because it would break the timeline.
    Mech being an actually interesting human antagonist ?
    Can't resolve their story with a more satisfying end so better remove them entirely within two episodes.
    The Breakdown arc ? Sorry, no time for that.
    Predacons ? Cool concept but we'll just shelve them for the finale.
    Instead of just recycling the concepts they just straight up shelve them entirely.

      Mate, the costs would have been unsustainable. Prime revived the animated aspect of the transformers franchise, but it did not bring enough income to justify such expansion. For the budget available, i think it is fine.

Executives dont even want to bother with things besides optimus and megatron. Hasbro is actually doing wonders with My Little Pony and Power Rangers Lore and it saddens me because its so obvious how they've left transformers behind to rust in nostalgia like those colonies. The only thing anyone at hasbro believes in transformers for is their toys and profits.

    Predacons are so badly implemented and used in Prime that I could only see them as a pretty bad toy comercial, what I find funny is couldn't they simple make the pirates predacons?

    But the piratecons? Piratebots? Nvm on the name.. this would have been much more interesting but lets be honest the predacons were very interesting since these specific predacons species yes species was only showen in this series i find it interesting why couldn't they make more than 3 seasons their potential for it and the main new bad guy could have been
    Galvatron ik ot doesn't mention him in the book but is it possible the the cons spit up in ships so thrir is a possibility that their is more of them left? Not knowing the war is over the autobots have to change them to good to stop the malpilation of Galvatron as he was the main person working for unicorn
    And we never got to see the combiners with someone like bruticus or devastator was a here it would have been way more interesting with adding autobot possibility allys from other sides like the predacons or insectacons their still on the moon could black arachnid be the next new villan who knows or vengeful autobots turned bad?

If TFP were to have more seasons & stick with the pirates I think it'd be interesting & fun!

    As much as I detest studio interference I can’t lie, I do like what they did with predacons more than the star seeker idea. Nit that transformer pirates are a bad idea or anything…BUT DRAGONS MAN!

      Same here but you gotta admit it was really dissapointing when they had to drop the Predacon clone army buildup in the second half of Season 3.

      Yeah, that’s my only compliant with season 3.
      I mean, look at all the Predacons in the toyline!
      We had Skystalker, Grimwing, Laserback, Ripclaw, Vertebrake, Darksteel, Skylynx.
      And only two out of 7 of them appear in the series.
      And that’s not even including the Aligned continuity versions of the G1 Terrorcons

    You know what? It would be interesting if a Transformers Prime hotel was made. Modeled after the Nemesis.
