As usual Zap2it has come through with the latest Transformers Prime Beast Hunters episode information. Episode 7 titled "Plus One" will is scheduled to air on May 31st, see the brief episode summary below:

While on a mission to gather a Precadon bone relic, Agent Fowler finds himself in a tight squeeze with Jack's mother.

Ohoho. William, you devil.

Anyway, Predacon bone relics? Sounds interesting.

Dinobots please????

Uh oh... Another relic hunt? Gogdog is going to be PISSED.

It's what some of us have been waiting for ages FINALLY happening.
I mean, what took 'em so long?

How... suggestively worded.

Predacon bone relic? Could it be... the Legendisc?

The Dinobots are still on Cybertron, bro.

Whoa, whoa. Who said anything about a disc?

Well, it could be an intervertebral disc. It's just my speculation.

I dunno, the affection seemed kinda one-sided for a while there. But, hey, if it pleases the shippers...

WTF is a bone relic? I'm really curious as to what its gonna look like on the show.

A relic is an artifact, and a bone is a piece of a skeleton. Put'em together and you got a artifact that's a piece of a skeleton.

Ok let me re-phrase it "WTF is a bone relic doing on earth "

We spent a good amount of season 2 watching them hunt several random doohickeys scattered all over Earth, on top of other random Cybertronian stuff (energon, Dark Energon, the data cylinder, the Immobilizer, the Harbinger, Smokescreen's escape pod, etc.) and just one more has you befuddled?

Yes because Ratchet said in Regeneration that there are no more Iacon Entries to decode. So I'm pretty confused on how they will learn of the relic.

Probably the same as they learned of all the other non-Iacon Database stuff from Cybertron that wound up on Earth: They'll find out about it being there, then someone will give exposition on how it got there.

Really, we should be used to random Cybertronian junk ending up on Earth. The planet's practically Cybertron's landfill.

It will probably something with Alpha Trion and him talking to Optimus when he was about to join with the all spark since the show loves to connect every new problem with Alpha Trion.

Lol ya I wonder when they are gonna open up the Cybertronian souvenir shop?

Intresting. Why is he trying to get the bone. Im thinking maybe the Autobots are planning to find a weakness of Predaking.
But what I really wanna see is what will the Decepticons do to even the odds now that Optimus is huge.
Oh I know, more beast are coming. By the stats on their bios Skystalker and Grimwing are powerful. If they have those two in the show that would be nice. Or how about...

Seeing how Hasbro and Takara's takes on the beasts are completely different, and how the only CG we've seen of them are decidedly toyetic, I have an awful feeling none of the other Preds will show up.

Which is a shame since the bios for the Preds have been some of the best that I can remember.

I actually kinda meant that the writers could have done an episode or few back when they introduced her to the 'bots or after Optimus went missing. Just to see Fowler try would have been interesting, given that he's slightly eccentric. But I guess that with the Orion Pax thing , Op Chimera and the relic-hunt they had a full schedule.
Actually I would have been happy if they'd even hinted that

But instead they had to make her have a crush on Optimus! Seriously, it made me think of KP's! (Even if it was for one episode only.)

One has to wonder how Cybertronian "biology" defines a "bone."

Probably the equivalent of a mechanical strut.

Well, they are organisms. Autonomous Robotic Organisms. Mechanical skeleton components aren't out of the question.

Probably not the best example, but The Fallen in Revenge of The Fallen did have a skull-like head underneath his face. So cybertronians may indeed have an endoskeleton while they mostly rely on exoskeleton.

Alas, a double-post.

Though that raises its own set of questions. That biology may be unique to the Fallen and his progeny, the same way 'female' Transformers are unique to those descended from Solus Prime and shifters are unique to Amalgamous Prime and his descendants.

Unique biological facets are known to exist in specific kinds of Cybertronians. The only common factor appears to be CNA (and sparks, if they follow the Beast Wars model of tangible physical forms).
