Be warned, this News update contains spoilers regarding the third season of Transformers Animated!

Transformers Animated Lead Character Designer has revealed another minuscule tidbit regarding characters within the transformers Animated Universe on his Twitter Page, this time regarding the Autobot Highbrow, Ultra Magnus's Head of Intel, as seen in Ratchet's flashback:

Nothing to Wheeljack, but head of Autobot Intel, Highbrow mysteriously vanished. LongArm Prime now holds that

Three guesses as to what fate awaits Highbrow in the unseen time between Ratchet's awakening of Omega Supreme and the present day.

And in more Animated news, Animation designer Alex Dilts has updated his blog Alex's Portfolio with four images of background art that will feature in upcoming episodes.

These background images include some big spoilers for the upcoming season, one of which has been leaked before...

I remember seeing art with a damaged Ultra Magnus. Question is, who was responsible for it: Megatron, Shockwave, or someone we haven't seen yet.

For those who are trying to stay spoiler free, one of those background images contains a pretty big spoiler. For everyone else, there is nothing new, just different.

It is probably shocky's doing

Y'know, I never noticed before, but TFA has a slight Jack Kirby influence. For a '70s comic-book junky like myself, that's pretty cool.
