I'm finding it really hard to not rush over to Youtube and watch that three episode special that was shown in.... Singapore? I don't think I've ever wanted anything to finish so badly, while simultaneously wishing it would never end.

This video is rife with spoilers from the next two episodes.

HKTOYSRUS has uploaded two additional "Inside the Hunt" Transformers Prime Beast Hunters bio. This time around we learn about faction leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron. Previously released "Inside the Hunt" bios for Bumblebee and Predaking can be found here and here.

Not liking how Optimus' bio goes straight from covering him becoming a Con to his losses in the season 2 finale. It makes it sound like those events happened to him while still being a mindwiped Decepticon.

Megatron's bio also had its own misleading nature to it. That line about the world falling into chaos? Yeah, that was Unicron possessing him and speaking through him as a vessel, not Megatron himself. The rest of it the started to steer away from talking just about Megatron and more about the plot instead. :roll:

I hope they actually will call him Predaking sometime in the show, and there really needs to be more Predacons.

I don't care if they say his name or not. We're 8 episodes in (out of 13 total) and still no robot mode!!!! I better see one somewhere during the next 5 episodes.

There will be a Predacons Rising TV Movie after Beast Hunters. If we don't get his robot mode in the next 5 episodes, the TV movie should take care of it.

Since we're on that subject, I've come up with plausible theories as to how Beast Hunters ends, based on what we know of Takara's subline Transformers Go!:

Predaking evolves and, thirsting for conquest, releases his Predacons and wreak havoc on Earth. Megatron and the Decepticons, fearing that once they're done with Earth they're next on the menu, proposes a temporary alliance with the Autobots, and with some flashy and all-out badass battle scenes, eliminate most of the Predacons. The Decepticons, their sense of security restored and deeming Earth (whose Energon reserves have all tapped out because of the amount needed to meet the demands of both factions) worthless, take to the stars, with conquest of another Energon-filled planet in mind, and the Autobots in pursuit, leaving our buddies the Rescue Bot Wannabes and the Animorph Team behind to deal with the rest of the Predacons on Earth.

Just throwing that out there for the masses to consider. :-B

Incredible theory! :APPLAUSE:

I will kindly agree with your idea, except for the part about the Autobots leaving Earth, as I doubt they'd leave their "new home" just so that another great evil can come along and stop all over it again. Plus, they've made family here. They're sworn protectors of our planet now.

Also depends on:
A) How much of Go!'s backstory is based on Hasbro/Aligned material and how much is purely TakaraTomy's creation, and
B) If Japan will ever air season 3 since season 2's final episode cut off the unhappy ending to end it more ambiguously. If it does air, then Go! will have to abide by how Hasbro will have season 3 end. If it doesn't air, then Go!'s more free to tell its story without having to abide by season 3's conclusion.

No arguing there. Totally agree with yo

They probably will. They have upcoming Predacon toys, and Transformers Go!'s characters' job listing is "taking care of the Predacons".

Yeah, but the Go! Predacon toys are drastically redecoed from the BH ones. So if any more besides Predaking do finally show up in season 3, then the Go! Preds won't look like the cartoon Preds.

Though, other Go! material provided a backstory to inform the Japanese of how the Predacons came about without the need for season 3, so they'll understand what the Predacons are even if season 3 doesn't air.
