Description
Well people were saying that he's Vector Prime, and I hope that he is. TFA has its very own Space Pope! I really like the design and he looks uber religious. The only thing that concerns me is that he looks grumpy and condescending, and ifyou've watched Transformers Cybertron, that's totally the opposite of Vector Prime's personality. Also, his Autobot logo reminds me a lot of Unicron's planet rings.Here' why Space Pope came to mind: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT7tacβ¦
EDIT: I just realized that when I originally posted this a long time ago, I never linked back to DJW's rough sketches, so here they are: derrickjwyatt.blogspot.ca/2010β¦

Habemus Papam Spatii!
Lol, my latin sucks.
Only one "i" in spati?
Maybe Caelum instead of Spatii?
Who knows, not me!
Oh, well.
Praise our new Space Pope!

I never heard that expression before (well possibly when John Paul II passed away). XD I googled it so I know now. XD Looks like you had the proper spelling.
Haha, yes!!!

I was actually more concered about the grammer since I don't have the slightest idea how Latin grammer is supposed to work. I wanted to have "space pope" in Latin, but I think I might have "pope's sky" there instead or something.

It translated to me as "We have a Pope" or something like that.

Yeah, I was going for "We have a Space-Pope".

Oh yeah, there's 2 Space Popes in Futurama, but I'm specifically referencing Crocodylus Pontifex. [link]

I believe Derrick himself said that TFA had it's own version of Vector Prime called Vector Prima-Vectorum: Founder of the Church of Primus.
I can almost imagine him being some of a jerkass Autobot who is more than willing to do illegal, immoral or out-right monstrous acts in the name of Primus (or in most cases himself), like allying with the Decepticons or with some other powerful evil (like this TFA's The Fallen).

Yeah, I got that sort of vibe from the lineart. He seems like a corrupt religious bot who would do anything for the church. Kind of a shame though, because in TF Cybertron, he was a very kindhearted character. In any case, I am glad to see an animated version of him!

It'd be awesome to see Vector Prime of TF: Cybertron confront Vector Prima, after all the corruption he's done.

That would make quite a good story.

well, he definately looks old and decrepit enough to be the clockwork guardian of time and space

I agree with that theory, especially when Vector Prime has the ability to travel between universes. I just wish he looked happy, because in Transformers Cyberton he was like a kindhearted wise old grandfather figure.

Oh I'm certain he can, but something tells me the way that DJW draws his TFs is to put some of their personality into the sketch.
