I was wondering, why have they not told us when the next episode of TF Prime will hit the airwaves?

They can, in the very least, give us a date to look forward too. I think it's rediculous unless they have a good reason to not just post it on their facebook or make a short commercial, or SOMETHING.

There has got to be a reason why, I just cant think of one. It's the fact that they go on break without much of a warning, and they don't tell us when the next episode will air, like they should (or at least I think they should)

If they have the episodes made already, then an air date cant be that hard to calculate. I understand not wanting to put the creative team under pressure, so why not get an estimate time from them, then give us, IDK, something along the lines of "Sometime this July" or something like that, you know?

I really dont get why it's so difficult for them to give out information. We dont even have an episode title, or description!
Is there a reason behind this? Or do they just not care?

They might not be ready to tell us when.

They might still be working on some of these episodes so they can have them finished before they air.

Let's hope they are still working on the episodes (like, adding a couple of personalities here, non-epic music there)

I heard these episodes are still in production

As much as I like Bulkhead as a character (and feel sorry for his human companion), it would somewhat please me if Bulkhead were to join Cliffjumper, Seaspray, and Tailgate. That would leave room for Wheeljack to join Team Prime.

Or if they wanted to bring in new characters, they could replace Bulk with Grimlock (with the rest of the Dinobots of course) or Ironhide.

I wouldn't mind an update on the status. I had thought my dvr was just being a piece of **** and not recording the show (which happens on occasion).

On a related note, I'd really like the show to pick up the pace a bit. It seems like the narrative is barely moving forward and a few new characters would really go a long way.

It's moving slow because the last 4 episodes were supposed to be happening at the same time, so the overall plot couldn't move.

I thought it was confirmed the new episodes would come back this weekend.... :-(

I wouldn't think they'd have unfinished episodes...someone hypothesized that they wanted to delay Bulkhead's death, so that more toys of him would be sold between now and then? Or perhaps change it to where he's not dead, to sell more toys? That seems kinda legit..

I'm not just talking about the last 4 episodes. I realize that are supposed to be occuring at the same time but the plot before that hadn't really advanced all that far. Unless the upcoming episodes really blow the doors off, this sesson, which started with do much promise, will seem disappointing.

An entire season with only 2 new characters so far, 4 episodes that were nearly identical with different characters, and very little character development. The end of season one was full throttle and season 2 seems stuck in neutral.
