Transformers: Prime
The Terrorcons are in the 2010 CGI television series, Transformers: Prime, serving as Megatron's reanimated zombie-like army. They were created when Megatron used Dark Energon, the blood of Unicron, on lifeless Transformer bodies. After converting the corpses of Autobots and Decepticons on the site of an old battle and have them attack Optimus Prime and Ratchet as a test, Megatron use the rest of the Dark Energon he possesses to turn Cybertron's dead into an army to summon to Earth. However, the Space Bridge is destroyed to keep the Terrorcons from coming to Earth. Cliffjumper is briefly transformed into a Terrorcon by Megatron to test the effects of Dark Energon. Later Starscream uses Dark Energon to make Skyquake into a Terrorcon. In "Loose Cannons", Arcee says that Dreadwing couldn't be Skyquake because he died and became a Terrorcon.
In Season 3, a new faction of Transformers known as Predacons (all transforming into animal alt forms that are as of now all reptilian) will be introduced, with their leader being Predaking. One Predacon called Twinstrike, who transforms into a two-headed dragon, is clearly an homage to the G1 Terrocon Sinnertwin. In addition, this version of Abominus is the combined form of five Predacons rather than the combined form of the Terrorcon subgroup.

Famous quotes containing the word prime:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
