For those of you who might be wondering about the lack of Smokescreen in this teaser, don't worry, all this footage minus the dragon footage is recycled from "Darkness Rising".

I'm exited, but all I got from that vid was DRAGON, and I already saw that in previous posts. But... I have a feeling they just spoiled the season finale for us. :twisted:

Can't say I'm terribly excited about this, then again I only just somewhat like the show to begin with. I watch it and it's certainly better than some previous offerings that I skipped completely, but I am pretty disappointed with the show's scale. I miss the days when both sides of the Transformers had armies and a huge array of characters, any (or all) of which could be in an episode. I understand the constraints of budget and whatnot and that's why I think I'd rather see the next TF series go back to full animated format rather than CGI; maybe something that is based more directly on the War for/Fall of Cybertron universe.

I am getting bored with this series also. There aren't enough characters in it, especially decepticons. Meg's whole army are drone bots, I want to see Prime versions of old characters or brand new ones. That and the fighting is kind of slow moving. Yes I know there new toy versions of characters, but they aren't in the show so I'm not interested, plus to find any of the prime line seems impossible now unless you are building a bumblebee army.

Some one should custom a combiner out of just bumblebees to form a giant one as a joke. I'd get a laugh out of that.

Huh. Interesting. I'll continue watching the show and may pick up a few of the ensuing toys if they look really cool, but Beasts aren't really my thing, so unless this gives Hasbro an excuse to release all the toys we haven't seen yet, this will save me some money for other things.

The "dragon" footage reminds me a lot of the revelation of Transmetal 2 Dinobot from Beast Wars.

We don't know yet. Although, I wouldn't be surprised. I've predicted Shockwave's return in the season finale for about 3 weeks now, give or take.

We've just uploaded the Transformers Prime season three "Beast Hunters" clip that was shown during the NYCC 2012 Hasbro panel. Shockwave presents his ultimate Autobot huntet, Predaking, to Megatron, Starscream, and company! Enjoy the clip embedded below:

Well, now we know Starscream re-joins the Decepticons in Season 2 Episode 24. So happy.

Megatron's face when he sees Predaking is priceless. :lol:

Starscream's too. |:|

Hmm, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Knock Out, Shockwave....where's Dreadwing? :-s

So 1) The Decepticons are set up someplace pretty nice. Fits with the "Things won't end well for the Autobots" we've been hearing about.

And 2) Starscream seems to be permanently back in. Which ... god damn it. Hopefully the execution and consequences justify it, because I already fear they're going to go the way of MECH and the kids and just throw away a season's worth of build-up.

Overall a positive development, though. This series started with such promise, I'd really like to see some major development bring it out of its recent rut.

Probably Cybertron

And 2) Starscream seems to be permanently back in. Which ... god damn it. Hopefully the execution and consequences justify it, because I already fear they're going to go the way of MECH and the kids and just throw away a season's worth of build-up.

We knew that Starscream was going to attempt to join the Decepticons, much to Dreadwing's dismay. We thought he was going to offer Red Energon, but since Starscream has an Omega Key, that will probably be what he offers to Megatron in hopes to regain his place in the ranks in return.

I hope this isn't why Dreadwing is missing. Either he's the captain of the Decepticon Outpost on Earth or Starscream killed him among other possibilities. :shock:

Looks cool!

People should keep in mind that this cooouuuuld be a flashback. It'd explain Shockwave's return, Starscream's presence and Dreadwing's absence.

Except in Episode 50, Starscream will attempt to re-join the Decepticons by bargaining one of the Omega Keys. That could explain Starscream's presence.

Shockwave was never officially killed off, and therefore his presence as a new member to the team is not off limits

However, I could deal with this scene being a flashback as to maybe how the Predacons ended up on Earth. Remember, the Rage of Dinobots comic bridges the 2nd and 3rd seasons. Just don't let the whole damn season be a flashback. :roll:

The flashback idea is a good one. If it's true, then it's a pretty clever move by Hasbro. Showing a look ahead clip that's actually from the past. I love the way Shockwave looks. Would love to have a Prime toy for him.

Meh....Now tell me how they're going to hide that from the humans... Does it transform into a Starbucks...

Seriously why so psyched?

The Autobots are going to miraculously kill at least one of these creatures per episode while still meeting their 20 to 30 Decepticon Drone quota at that...

Come on Hasbro give us another show already! Or at least some direct to video movies based off the IDW comics.

Why yes, isn't that obvious? :roll:

The Steven Melching interview said this show is gonna have a new setting for season 3. If it leaves Earth, no more disguises. If it doesn't, humanity's obviously gonna get a rude wake up call.

It's a dead ringer.
Hell, the toy even has the hydra cannons that Cybertron Scourge had. He's Homaging scourge in like, 3 different ways. Maybe even more once we get robot mode pics.

Why would they make Prediking so big in the show. We all know the toy is not going to be at all close to this scale, so why not just make him the same size as Megatron. Plus if this takes place on Cybertron why did Shockwave bridge to where Megatron is.

Predaking has a Leader Class toy, not just a Voyager.

Plus if this takes place on Cybertron why did Shockwave bridge to where Megatron is.

Because he's on a different side of Cybertron? Cybertron is a planet, not a little moon the size of a pebble where everyone is of walking distance.

I'm really surprised everyone's so worried about Dreadwing being dead. They've been hinting pretty strongly that he's going to pull a Dinobot at some point, what with Fowler's comments in 'Grill', and the interchange in 'Crossfire' and 'Triangulation'. And I could see Starscream's return, and Megatron reviving Cybertron in HIS image, (which looking at THIS trailer leads me to believe is the season 2 finale) as the things that might push him over to team Prime.

Interesting how after a long period (2005-now)excepting Animated where 'dead cybertron' was the norm, we're moving into an era where 'revived cybertron with issues' is status quo across continuities.

Posted by Crosscheck on October 12th, 2012 @ 10:30pm CDT

Given that they somewhat strongly implied the Dinobots are coming too, I am fairly certain that this season may kill me with nostalgia. Vehicle based Autobots and Decepticons, check. Animal based Predacons, check. Dinobots, possible check. Yup, my nostalgia gland is doomed. Definitely need to save up so I can buy a lot of these toys. That dragon looks pretty frickin awesome.

I like that Starscream is back with the Cons it seems, which is cool. I don't care for him to be on his own.

This all looks very interesting and i must be in a minority but i don't mind if Dreadwing takes a dirt nap to be honest. A LOT more Shockwave would be appreciated though

If you look closely at the group shot of the Decepticons, Megs still has his fusion cannon on his right arm. You can't see his right arm clearly in any shot, but that's the biggest piece of evidence for this being a flashback.

The series jumped the shark when Cliffjumper died. Then again when "One Shall Fall" aired.

It then grew a beard when Dreadwing arrived, and then again when Smokescreen arrived, and here we are.
