Prime Megatron's design is actually quite nice. There's a clear lineage of modern Megatron designs leading back to the Movies, though I'd lay more of Megatron's aesthetic at the feet of Derrick J. Wyatt. I had a hard time seeing the connection between those two designs anyway, because Wyatt's Megatron doesn't look like an unfortunate accident at a silverware factory. Continue to full review

UPDATED: Video clip embedded in full article Just in is a new teaser image from the next episode of Transformers Prime titled, "Triage". Check out the preview image from next Saturday's episide with some comments from the man in charge himsel, Duane Capizzi: "We thought it would be interesting to use a “real time” structure, and pair off the characters in a way that would allow us to explore specific relationships more deeply. We’ve done “epic” See the full update and image after the jump.

Here is a quick update from BigBadToyStore.com about a ton of cool new preorders as well as more new arrivals.

In a recent interview, Brian Tyler, the composer of the Transformers Prime soundtrack, has revealed how he approached the scoring the music for the show. The showrunners told him that they wanted something thematic (check) and epic (double-check). To be sure he hit that tone correctly, Mr. Tyler avoided the use of anything that sounded electronic and went with orchestral music. His work on the show led to a Daytime Emmy nomination last year in "Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition," although he did not win. The soundtrack is currently available for digital and physical consumption. The full video interview is available in the full article.

We know what you are thinking. You are posing (or playing - we do not judge) your Transformers Prime Voyager Optimus Prime figure and you think, "man, I really want those battle blades he had in the show! Those were awesome!" Well, it seems Dr. Wu heard those cries all around the world, and has created a pair of show-accurate battle blades! Date and pricepoints are not yet available, but we will let you know when we do!

Ken Christiansen, whose previous work includes Luxoflux's Transformers Revenge of the Fallen The Game and some pre-pre-concept artwork for Transformers Prime has now revealed some concept art for Transformers Prime Ironhide! While many were bummed he was not on the show, the character has received a Cyberverse Commander figure, out this month. Continue reading...

In Transformers Prime season 2 episode 14 Triage, Ratchet and Wheeljack are dispatched to retrieve a relic. Things would probably have gone well, but Soundwave shows up. We have seen glimpses throughout the series of how much of a badass that Soundwave could be, but this time, we get a tease of how a fight between Wheeljack and Soundwave would turn out. According to this preview, Soundwave: 1, Wheeljack: 0.

UPDATE: This post has been updated with the correct translation. It was incorrectly translated by the source as "Swoop," when it is actually "Swerve," using the Bulkhead mold. Thanks to Snakas who has shared some exciting news. Takara Tomy listed new pre-orders for Transformers Prime Arms Micron class action figures AM-18 Arachnid and AM-17 Swerve that are slated for release in August 2012. The Airachnid deluxe class figure was reported last month. However, news of a Swerve voyager class figure is something totally new.

Don't go rushing out to buy those Transformers Prime action figures just yet. Thanks to images posted over at German Transformers fansite NTF-Archive we have a pretty interesting reveal that Transformers Prime will have some new goodies coming our way that are more than meets the eye with a special light-up flowing Energon feature that looks a lot like the old Energon weapons. Check out the image for more details after the jump.

Takara Tomy have updated their official Transformers sithe with announcement for a new retailer incentive campaign called "Arm Micron." The incentives will be focused on the Transformers Prime cartoon and action figure series that will be coming to Japan. Much like previous campaigns, Takara Tomy have coordinated with various retailers around Japan offer the "Arm Micron" figures as free gifts to those who shop for Transformers products.

When we just got out of the BotCon 2011 Hasbro Brand Team panel, we were treated to our first look at the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Transformers Prime Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime. The display includes the packaging, complete with a neck strap. The premium box is also on display. Take a look at the shots after the break!

Live at BotCon 2011, we were able to visit the rather bare Transformers Prime toy display. The shelves were predominantly empty with Bumblee and Arcee in- and out-of-package. We also get looks at Starscream, but zero packaging in sight. Hopefully throughout the next couple of days, we will get some good news on upcoming Transformers Prime figures. If we do, we will bring you the news as soon as we hear it! Until then, take a look at the shots in the gallery.

The newest Transformers Prime commercial for the toyline is out, and oddly enough, it feels like it shows more from the cartoon than the toy. The commercial interlaces "Transformers [toys] like you've never seen before," with poses and some of the features, but also focuses a lot on the show itself. This video only focuses on the Autobots in the line, so be sure there will be another one for the Decepticons.

In Transformers Prime season 2 episode 13 Triangulation, Optimus Prime will be holding his own in Antarctica. In this promo clip, Dreadwing and Optimus both demand the release of the relic to the other, forcing a stand-off between the parties. Why is Starscream in chains? Why is Optimus alone? Watch this Saturday on The Hub at 8:30PM Eastern/5:30PM Pacific.

The Transformers Prime Deluxe Wave 3, including Hot Shot, is out. Is he worth the money? In a new video review by peaugh, we have a quick view of the remold of Deluxe Bumblebee with a brand-new head mold. He feels that it is, since the deco is so much different and the new head mold brings us back to the Transformers Armada days. At least his shoulders do not hurt anymore. Have you grabbed a Hot Shot at your local store? Let us know where and what you think in the comments.

Those who caught a viewing of the latest episode of Transformers Prime season 2 episode 12 Tunnel Vision were treated to a promotional video of episode 13 Triangulation. In this preview, Optimus Prime is facing off against Dreadwing and quite an armored foe, all in Antarctica. The episode will air this Saturday on The Hub at 8:30PM Eastern/5:30PM Pacific. View the promo embedded in the full article.
