Transformers Generation 3 Ep. 101 (Starring DR. SMOOV as Optimus Prime)

Project Overview

Project Title: Transformers: Generation 3 (G3)
Format: 3D Animated Motion Graphic w/ Interspersed Fully Animated Sequences
Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama, Action, Psychological, Political Thriller
Status: Casting for Multiple Roles (Lead, Supporting, Cameos)
Voice Direction: Gritty, emotional, nuanced

Transformers: Generation 3 (G3) is a full-on reboot of the Transformers universe — not a continuation, not a homage — but a ground-up reimagining of what the franchise can be when you strip away the toy commercial and lean into storytelling that matters.

It’s political, character-driven, tragic, messy, and bold. Imagine Transformers as if it were written for people who enjoy content like Andor and House of the Dragon. High-stakes drama, psychological depth, and sweeping arcs over decades. If you want cardboard villains and Saturday morning simplicity, this ain’t that. If you want to breathe life into legends and explore how power corrupts and hope dies slow — welcome aboard.

Ep 1 – “The Bloodless Revolution”

- Set in 2019. Toxitron rises from a disillusioned Grapple, who has turned on the Autobot cause after being shunned. Optimus Prime’s refusal to accept help from the Stunticons, paired with his internalized rage and pacifist paralysis, results in disaster. Warpath dies, and the Autobots suffer a crisis of leadership.

- The framing device is a future Ironhide recounting the past to Rodimus in 2086, establishing not just Prime’s fall but also serving as a warning to Rodimus that what he’s about to do won’t be black and white.

Grapple + Toxitron
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Jordan James

Grapple is a character from Transformers Generation One. He is the Ted Mosby of the original autobots, serving as the team architect. One of his famous designs was the Power Tower, which similar to the Harvester in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, absorbed power from the Sun. His original pitch for the power tower was rejected by Optimus Prime, who deemed it too powerful. Despite the warning, Grapple eventually teamed up with the constructicons to build it anyway.


Reimagined for Generation 3, his disobedience will stem from a disgruntled, and disturbed personality, which ultimately causes him to join the Stunticons and reject the Autobot way entirely.

Toxitron rises from the ashes of the discarded identity of Grapple. Not beholden by the way of the Autobots, Toxitron represents a mirror of Optimus Prime's worst nature. His goal is to bring peace to the universe through coerced conformity and slave labor. "If you're not with us, then you're free to die," is essentially his belief system. It isn't helped by the fact that his new friend Wildrider has convinced him that somehow all of this is righteous and holy, whilst pulling his strings as Grapple turned into a cold-blooded murderer and tyrant. If Optimus Prime truly believes in fighting for peace, Toxitron will double down and show him what it really means to go to war as an alternative to pacifism.

  • The name's Toxitron. Long time no see, eh? Let's lose the cuffs. He's not stupid enough to try anything. Are you, Optimus?

  • Maybe that's the problem. Maybe our trust in the big bot is why we're stuck on this 'cron forsaken rock in the first place.

  • I was thinking what it would be like if Primus forbid he were to die. Maybe it'd stop all the fighting. Never mind. I'm... I didn't mean it. I'm just tired. I should get some shut eye. G'night Broadside.

If you could imagine a tattooed speed freak in robo-form or, hell, Trevor Philips the transformer, he's your guy. Dragstrip is a Stunticon commander who has a bit too much energy to spare. You never know if he's gonna hug you or bust a cap in your ass. But hey! It's part of the fun right?

Give it your best Trevor Philips!

Introducing the Stunticon emo himself, Deadend! If nihilism and edgy teenager vibes are your schtick, Deadend's your guy.
He'll have you questioning your meaningless existence in the universe within 2.3 nanoseconds of speaking to him. Definitely don't come to him seeking motivation.

Think Shadow the Hedgehog + Mai from ATLA.

CJ's the short king of the crew. Let's get one thing straight. CJ don't look like Bumblebee. Bumblebee looks like CJ.
Good? Good. 
Let's talk character personality. Cliffjumper's essentially like a young adult older brother sort of guy. He doesn't have everything figured out, he can be a bit of a troll and a "mean-head", but he MEANS well.
Cliffjumper detests traitors and you bet your ass he's going to call 'em out and hunt 'em down. 
As the self proclaimed master marksman he is, Cliffjumper's confidence might have you convinced he's leadership material. (He ain't...)

  • No no no! I am NOT dealing with this. This right here? This is a you problem. I got bigger fish to fry.

  • Let me tell ya. This baby right here? Glass gas cannon. The GGC's a 'cron damned powerhouse. You pair that with a master sniper with impeccable aim like moi, and anything's possible. Watch and learn losers. (misses) Alright, practice shot outta the way. *Now* watch a master at work.

Role assigned to: thezackattack

Ironhide is the old warhorse — a hardeed, gravel-voiced Autobot whose fists have broken more 'con jaws than can be counted.
He's classic Ironhide! But in G3, he's more rough around the edges. This take on the character sees him playing the role of devil's advocate to the ways of the Autobot peace keepers. He openly calls out Optimus Prime for lacking the spine to lean into his more aggressive side.
In the year 2086, he's a changed individual. He's more of a mentor figure whose seen the last regime fall, and fears more than anything for it to happen again.

  • (As future Ironhide) Who is Optimus Prime? Over the centuries, the name has become something of a myth--a beacon of unbreakable morality in the grim shadows of war and conflict. Truth is, he wasn't some pacifist blessed with unlimited wisdom. Honestly, I hate that tall tale. It takes away from the Prime I knew. I think a true test of character is how they face the ugly truth... how they make the tough calls. 'Cause in a time of war, are good leaders defined by their ideals, or by the difficult decisions they make?

  • (As past Ironhide) This is your fault! You and your pretentious pipe dream of a peaceful end to the war! You need to order a strike on them — on the Stunticons!

  • (As past Ironhide) You gotta start asking yourself what kind of Prime you are if you ain't gon' make the tough calls.

Warpath is loud and brash. He's a fun-sized tank with the heart of a battalion. He's not all onomatopoeia though. Warpath will kick you ass just as soon as he'd scream his next "kablam."

  • Let's go! Wham! Blam! Zayum!

  • Don't do it, Grapple.

  • So, when are we...? (Warpath gestures an explosion whilst whispering) Kablaming?

Jackie's the Autobot mechanic. His shit's ready to blow up at a moment's notice, to his own dismay. Half his junk explodes and the other half forces the crew into smoke detection protocol mode. 
Jackie may not be the most successful inventor, but he'll make up for it with unlimited dedication. Too bad he'll never catch a break.

Rodimus Prime

Role assigned to: Jordan James

You know how G1 Rodimus Prime is always living in the shadows of Optimus Prime and trying to fill his shoes? F**k that!

This take on the character sets him decades after the time of Optimus Prime. He's an established leader of an Autobot colony on Nebulos. The Autobots were kicked off world ages ago, and he's just trying to make things work with his people divided and on the brink of an Autobot civil war. When we see him in action, he's sharp, decisive, and reliable.

Now put this amazing war-time commander into peacetimes, and the biggest threat is now his people turning on each other. Suddenly, mister perfect soldier's black and white problems are all gray. And worse yet, when a religious cult lead by Galvatron attack his colonies he faces his ultimate challenge. 

After a stunning turn of events, Rodimus learns that maybe his duties are more than keeping the peace. Ol' Rodimus Prime may well be the one whose got to bring everyone back to Cybertron as well.


Excuse the lack of G3 design for the icon. He's still being designed.

  • What are you talking about!? Lives are at stake here and you're -what you're just gonna take the nuclear option? You're not fit for duty. Get the hell out of my sight. I- No! You're done! You hear me? You're done.

  • If we're going to get through this, we stick together. I WILL get us out of this. But that means no more dilly dallying. If you're in, you do what I say. If you got other plans, try your luck on your own out there. I won't have my people dying to your insubordinations. So if that's you, you're not impressing anyone. Just walk away. This ain't a daycare. But if you're with me, I'm with you. Let's kick ass. Today, we fight to light our darkest hour. We fight so that tomorrow we'll all stand as one. We fight--till all are one!

  • Hey I- (a beat) Ironhide? Lately, I'm not sure whose got my back. I don't want there to be any animosity between us. I hear you, and I'm going to do better. I just wanted to say... Thank you, brother.
