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:
“In time, after a dozen years of centering their lives around the games boys play with one another, the boys bodies change and that changes everything else. But the memories are not erased of that safest time in the lives of men, when their prime concern was playing games with guys who just wanted to be their friendly competitors. Life never again gets so simple.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
