Yeah, I'm in the "it would be cool, but I would be surprised if it actually is Tirek." Though it could also be a Tirek inspired villain who isn't actually the guy himself.

I'd settle for a mythology gag. That's fine enough.

Does Hasbro still have the rights and/or trademark for Tirek? Maybe this new villain will be the lawyer-friendly ersatz Tirek. They'll call him Ketir.

I really need to watch the G1 episode with Tirek. Is he really All That?

No, All That was a variety show on Nickelodeon in the 90s.

He does look sinister, with the whole dark weapon pulsing like a heart. And has a pretty evily deep voice.

@Dark And it does help that he was played by the announcer for G1 Transformers, Victor Caroli.

As for Tirek, my guess is that the new villain will be an Expy of him at the very least.

It looks like Twilight is going to tram up with Discord to stop him, whoever he is. Which means he should be more powerful than Discord, even though that seems impossible given Discord's powers. Maybe he has some connection to Discord? Like he's a relative or something?

@Dark Once I recognised his voice in that special I really did think he was gonna go and start talking about the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons there.

I need to start watching that soon. Maybe during pony downtime.

@Dark "Autobots, transform and roll out." I might think about watching Transformers Prime I might not be missing much but hey I've missed the Transformers franchise so much.

@Starscream:Transformers Prime is a pretty good show, and the problem I remember you having with it {The whole Zombies thing} rarely ever shows up after the first 5 episodes anyway. And most of the Decepticons are awesome, especially Soundwave. The humans are actually pretty neat characters instead of being annoying and useless {Though Miko kind of falls into both those catergory's for the first season}. However, be warned that Season 2 wastes far too many interesting plot points and instead has some kind of weird obsession with Relic Hunts. Also, Prime's version of Optimus is really, really boring and uninteresting. It's like all of his dialogue was tone in a bland, emotionless monotone way, and not the awesome/funny way like with Maud either.

Also, while we're on the topic of Transformers, Beast Wars is best Transformers series.cool

And when Netflix doesn't have something, you can always try the internet.

You humans have quite the convenience with your entertainment. If I want to watch a movie, I have to hope that the local theater has something worthwhile.

Well if you want something obscure, it's much harder to find since it's unlikely anyone bothered to pirate it.

Well, if the villain isn't Tirek, it certainly seems to borrow elements of the character's design.

@Dark: Well (spoiler about appearance): he has a red face, ringed by black (not fur, I don't think). His eyes are yellow and black (except the colours are reversed: His irises are yellow, and the rest is black). He does have bracers on his arms.

I mean, if they're not doing Tirek, new guy kind of looks like him at least. I don't know if the voice is similar though.
