The Hub is running a new promo clip for Transformers Prime that teases the upcoming episodes "Out of the Past", "New Recruit", and "The Human Factor". We even get a brief glimpse of the new Autobot recruit. YouTube user citygrl903 has been kind enough to record and upload the clip embedded below.

Could possibly be mirage also.

OMG I CANT WAIT

And do megatron and prime have different swords?
shocky looks like he has an entirely new robot mode then from foc.

I think he does have wings though

Woah, 014-0:16 shows knockout doing something to megatron, then it shows an arm, next it shows megatron with a different arm too

Blurriness aside, I am wondering if that is Mirage in those images. :-?

YES OH MY GOD!! :DANCE:

New Autobot, Megatron with some bleeding-edge tech, flashy beam swords, Silas, etc.
The rest of the season is going to be intense!

Hey, you know, it could be Blurr.

Hoping someone can get some clearer pictures or video of this new bot. As it is the only definitive bits are that it's alt mode is a car (with a spoiler), it's got some blue on there, and it looks to have "door wings" in robot mode. Though what with Arcee being a blue motorcycle, anything is possible. Maybe it's Bluestreak!

(I really hope not, Bluestreak is silver, darn it!)

Anyway, the new promo looks awesome. It'd be great if Shockwave would show up in more than just a flashback fashion. His design certainly looks awesome, I wonder what he'll transform into.

Totally agree! Takara's even releasing a Prime Smokscreen figure!

by **starwarrior1227** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 8:48 pm

am i the only person who thinks the vehicle form of the new blue and white

looks too much like a hot wheels car?
i almost hope it isnt jazz. the car looks like a truck with speakers in the trunk and i prefer jazz to be a classy sports car.
other than those complaints the rest of the season looks to be: dramatic. intense. awesometacular. stellar. better than G1. PURE NERD-GASTIC.
(sucks i have to spend 40 dollars to watch any of them or hope to see them on yt).

I still just hope Shockwave doesn't die in Out Of The Past

other than that i dont see much resemblance and usually, the characters look like they did in their lastest designs.(OP is a front engine semi, megatron a jet(first bay-movie), arcee a motorcycle, ) though smokescreen hasnt been depicted in a movie or show yet for a while so a redesign would be probable, but didnt hasbro already release a smokescreen in his G1 color scheme...

Lets hope hes not like dotm shockwave lol

I kinda hope it is Smokescreen, or at least not someone who's already been in a bunch of different series lately.

Shockwave looks less like his FoC counterpart than I initially thought. Yay!

Oh that's right, I completely forgot about AM Smokescreen! He's a redeco of Knock Out, if I recall correctly. That explains why my first thought was "Hey, Prime Smokescreen has a similar vehicle body to Knock Out..." I wonder what Prime Smokescreen will be like eh?

As long as it's not a Bumblebee repaint, I'm on board.

How 'bout a Knock Out repaint?

OK - that's how you cut a promo. Bring on the mystery 'bot! And Megs allowing Knockout to perform some kind of operation? He'll have more than scratched paint if he messes that up. I thought we might get Hot Shot as the recruit, but I'm agreeing with the fact that it could be Mirage or Bluestreak/Smokescreen...

Hmmm, I'm gonna guess Jazz or Blurr. But did I see Shockwave with his arm cannon?!? Sweet!!! I can't wait to see the rest of this season! (and at least this will put to rest the idea of Wheeljack being the new recruit.)

EDIT: Ok, just saw a side pic of the new guy ... Changing my mind, looks like Smokescreen. Although there's another pic with a blurry head shot and that looks similar to Prowl with the red crest.

by **Ultra Markus** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 10:17 pm

perhaps the new auto bot is drift
but the 38 on the door suggests maybee smokescreen

It looks like Smokescreen from the cleaned up photo that dappeppad put out. :BOWDOWN:

<-(That is for dappeppad.)

Besides that, I would like to see a PRIME version of Bluestreak... And with Shockewave, he transforms into some kind of ship. I just wonder if Takara Tomy is going to make a good Arms Microns version of him. :???:
