I want to talk about Transformers Prime

Since lots of people miss Transformers Prime, I want to talk about it and trust me,you're in for quite some interesting stuff here.

Discussing ideas about the show's themes and inspirations,Orci said that while the live action films series was about a boy and his cars,the dynamic between the kids and robots in Prime was to be more like that of The iron giant. In a similar statement,Josh Keaton revealed in a November 29th 2010 interview with Trades that while the show include does include human main characters and their relationships with the Autobots are important,they are in the foreground.
Brian Lowry of Variety said that Transformers Prime is unexpectly sharp and better than the the movies,adding that the show's CGI animation is well-suited for randering shiny robots and their vehicular alter egos. Hasbro had the Toys R US store located in Time Square,New York City to cover the whole exterior of the store in Transformers Prime characters' images. 

Now here is a interesting one: Airachnid is a sadistic trophy hunter who want to capture and kill Jack for blowing up her spaceship and to add him to her collection of alien species. However in the more jovial Japanese dub of the show,she instead want to keep the teenager as part of her harem of boys and her teasing of him is more romantic in nature. She is less of a vengeful sadistic and more of creepy stalker in Japan. Her head design was deliberately based on Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty.
According to the Art of Prime artbook,the Vehicons' car form were based on the Batmobile.
The creators of this show expressed their love toward the Transformers Animated series and brought a couple of its traits. The character Bulkhead,who first appeard in Animated is a regular in this series.
Miko was made a Japanese exchange student because the writers originally wanted to produce an episode in which she along her partner Bulkhead travel back to Japan. As this episode was scrapped,the importance of her being of Japanese origin never comes up in the finished series,only for one shot screen where she briefly talk to Jack about her life in Japan. The fact that she would have to go back to Japan one the school year's over is'nt touched upon,despite her eagerness to stay with her newfound friends being a very important part of the story.

According to the backstory,the Decepticon's ship is actually the giant dinosaur-like robot Trypticon locked into the form of a ship. This was meant to be given a reference in the show but the writers forgot to include it. Apparently, Beast Hunters was meant to be the working title for Transformers Beast Machines back in 1999. As revealed by concept sketches made public on the DVD,Soundwave was originally designed with four legs,akin to a centaur.
Apparently,another reason why the original Season 3 storyline was scrapped because of a different team taking over the production. Hasbro's new director originally wanted Optimus Prime to be colored green in the show's final season.

As of 2017, the series' final episode Deadlock was banned by Cartoon Network because of violence and two main characters being killed. Wow. Just wow. 

Optimus Prime was originally meant to kill Predaking in the last episode. This idea was abandonned when the writers realized that the show won't be over and will followed by the movie Transformers Prime Predacons Rising. Airachnid was meant to appear in Transformers Prime Predacons Rising to begin with. The leader of the Wreckers was also meant to appear in the show.
