ish, especially regarding the fate of Optimus Prime. It's also reveals that

here to read the full interview, we've quoted a few excerpts below.
Question: Can you talk about the beasts, AKA the Predacons, being unleashed in Season 3?
Tania Gunadi: Have you seen the Predacons? They’re like dragon beasts. I’m scared of them. But you know Miko – Miko is never scared. Miko wants to kill them all.
Peter Mensah: I think the Predaking is the sign of things to come. It’s a great introduction, a really unmistakable entrance.
Question: What do we have to look forward to with your characters this season?
Peter Cullen: In Season 3, there are times when Optimus Prime is really being kicked around, and he makes it back. Despite all the trials and tribulations, he gets back on his feet, which is a great message. Always coming back. Always surviving. Always being strong. Always being your best.
Question: What can you tell us about the ending of Season 3?
Jeff Kline (on getting advance notice for the final season and how it affected the series finale): We very much appreciate getting that heads-up so we could write accordingly. We had always planned the story knowing where we wanted to go at the end. Not sure how long it would take to get there, but knowing where we wanted to go. We tried really hard to give a satisfying conclusion to not just the whole, but also to each character. Hopefully, the fans will be satisfied and surprised in some cases. In the end, we want the viewers to experience a really good story, well told, so that they’re ready to see what the next TRANSFORMERS story will be.
