In a rare move for the toy world, Hasbro is uniting its Transformers toys, media partners and storytelling to form a multiyear epic tale, titled the Prime Wars Trilogy.
Prime Wars will provide a framework for Transformers storytelling across multiple mediums and consumer products for the next three to four years. The move follows similar steps being taken by Hasbro and Paramount Pictures to formulate a plan for a cohesive cinematic universe that unfolds over the next 10 years.
"We decided to initiate the creation of a bigger deeper worlds," said David Erwin who heads Hasbro’s Transformers story team. "The fan reaction was really good. And that’s when we decided we wanted to make this a trilogy and really make this immersive. And when we say immersive, that means to create that experience across all different platforms, to take it across everything that we do."
Currently, the comics, Machinima digital series and Activision video games are in the middle of a storyline titled The Combiner Wars. That will wrap up sometime in time in summer 2016 to be followed by a chapter titled "Titans Return" in the fall.
That storyline will feature the biggest Transformers robots in existence, fan-favorite Sentinel Prime and the return of a beloved action feature from the '80s: robots that convert into heads for bigger robots. It will play out across the entire Transformers Generations toyline and in IDW Publishing’s line of comics, as well as digital gaming.
Following "Titans Return," the trilogy will conclude in late 2017 or early 2018 with the third chapter.
Erwin is now heading a war room of storytellers that are mapping out the arc of the trilogy. Much of the heavy lifting will be done by IDW’s comics.
The company’s two Transformers comics are among its best-sellers and a third title is on the way.
Among the new aspects being highlighted are female Transformers such as Windblade and Victorion.
"Our demo for our readership is incredibly diverse but it’s pretty close to being half men and half women," said Transformers writer John Barber of IDW.

And yeah, it looks like MTMTE will be untouched.

I dunno. Skullcruncher showed up in MTME recently, and is getting a new toy in this line. Could be just a toy release, and no real role in the fiction, but you never know.

Yes and no. He was just there last year twice. One for Botcon 2014 and another in the form of Megazarak which at first sold for like crazy money and evetually was 75% off.

Damn it again, sorry D-Max, I keep pulling a sabrblade and correcting everythign you say, and unlike Sabr I dont even know what I am talking about since once again I misunderstood what you wrote about.
For the sake of us still being friends I will say this: I hope for you that they do eventually release the technobots.

You know its funny, I want the technobots as much as you. I find the 2 coolest combienrs to be Abominus and Computron simply because they have the most interestingly designed components. I would love to see what Hasbro would come up with for a deluxe sized Blot, for instance.
But I am also a realist and a pragmatist. With all the evidence I see before me as a news staff member, I become like Computron seeing the lesser percentage chance of the technobots being made. And I dont like getting my hopes up. So I just accept that they wont come. Like that if they do, then I will be super happy, and if they dont then I will have been correct in my assumptions and it gives me a bit of comfort, in a very odd way.

I dunno about this. The last time they tried doing this it gave us the Aligned continuity family, and look at how much people wanted and still want to crucify that.the hollywood reporter wrote:Hasbro will unveil a 'Prime Wars Trilogy' epic tale, with the 'Titans Return' arc featuring Sentinel Prime.
