Seeking new arch-nemesis. Must enjoy sunsets. Hatred of me and everything I stand for tempered by a long lost affection essential. Matrix Bearer preferred.

I am marginally sure that is Maggy's ship, maybe the Jackhammer, but wouldn't that be an excellent time to reveal Prime can fly?

It's a spoiler because up until we weren't sure Prime would appear this way in the show. Up until now all it's been all about the toys, and as we know just because a toy gets produced doesn't mean in will make it to the show. I highly doubt the rest of the cast will get their Beast Hunter upgrades in the show.

Only because someone had the bright idea of recycling Soundwave's CGI model as Optimus Prime, while using Optimus' pre-season 3 CGI model as Ultra Magnus. All for the sake of keeping costs at a minimum...Wow. Just. Wow...

Well, we saw a rendering on Prime's packaging, and we saw basically this image on the Hub's invitation to the red carpet premiere.

Not to mention, Optimus's new design has been more consistent between the toys. The Commander one looks like the Voyager one looks like the Kre-O one, while pretty much everybody else has a different design for each subline. And they went to the effort of making a completely new mold, while everybody else who's not getting a new body in-show is just a retool of their RID toy. I think it was a foregone conclusion that Optimus would actually look like this in the show.

Also, DAMN THE NEW PRIME IS MASSIVE. Just to keep scale we'll need Dragon Blaster Prime and Platinum Ultra Magnus.

However, as a "Beast Hunters" episode, I thought it was another flawed episode that doesn't seem to be lining up with the Beast Hunters marketing and toyline. With each passing episode, it's becoming more and more obvious that the Beast Hunters theme is just a marketing ploy / gimmick for the toyline than it is about a true universal theme for the cartoon. Predaking seemed really forced in this episode and was easily defeated. Shockwave, on the other hand, was far more "badass" that Predaking.
Hopefully the IDW Beast Hunters comics will fill in the gaps to make it seem much more like Beast Hunters to match the toyline than the cartoon is doing.
I think when everything is all said and done, I'll be really happy that the cartoon stuck to its guns and stayed true to the general format from the past couple of years. I think it will feel much more like Transformers Prime Season 3 than Beast Hunters season 1 (yes, I know it's TFP Season 3, but hopefully you know what I mean or am feeling).

Chill out, it was a nice nod to a line that most of us don't find obnoxious.

That Bot wrote:Believe it or not, that did not go over my head. But there are several possible explanations for it, not the least of which is that it was a damn joke the writers threw in. You sweat the small stuff way too much.
Has it been established that Ultra Magnus is the leader of the Wreckers in this continuity?
