Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers Prime Season 2 Episode 17, "Out of the Past". This episode is scheduled to air August 31st. Brief synopsis below:

Arcee and a friend uncover a feat of Decepticon engineering intending to destroy the Autobots.

Theory: Based on the title, the fact that Arcee and a friend of her's is involved, this episode could possibly include the flashback scene of Arcee and Cliffjumper (her "friend") being introduced to Shockwave by Starscream seen in Shockwave's Hall of Fame video.

Alternate theory: This episode will feature an animated adaptation of the Prime graphic novel, which also featured Arcee and Cliffjumper "uncover[ing] a feat of Decepticon engineering intending to destroy the Autobots" before the cartoon series began.

Or (RIP) Cliff actually is in the cartoon, the weapon being Terrorcons: Dark Energon infused dead bots or something of the sort. Would explain the figures of a dead character at least. (Especially considering how they've treated Breakdown.)

The reason we got all these Cliffjumper toys is because, at the time, Hasbro's toy department assumed Cliffjumper would be a main cast character and didn't know that he'd be killed off in the first episode. Recall how the Skyquake toy mold was switched to being released as Dreadwing first due to his being alive? That's why the Skyquake deco is coming later.

I can imagine that if they bring in Shockwave, they'll bring in the dinobots as well (maybe they're hunting him for revenge for what he did to them) that could explain the title as well

There's more evidence for the Dinobots to show up in season 3 than season 2 (if they show up at all) since "Rage of the Dinobots" lead directly into season 3.

well how d you know season two is.gonna be long.

This could be a shorter season but i dont think so.

Arcee and a friend? I wonder what friend, tailgate, cliffjumper anyone else?

It could be her and ''buddy'' could discover the dinobots which were made by shocky right?

Hhhhhmmmm

The "Decepticon engineering intending to destroy the Autobots" could be the Dinobots judging by the title "out of the past" . Maybe the writers are trying to do something similar to FOC in that case if they don't bring in the Dinobot strait away they may bring in shockwave.
Whatever happens i'm gonna die if I don't at least see a promo

how much you wanna bet that our preview from botcon might be in this ep?
