    Fall 2013? Nope. They will not wait that long to air Season 3 of Transformers Prime. Sounds like someone got their facts wrong. Beast Hunters is NOT Season 3 of Transformers Prime. It's a new series in the Prime Universe that will be airing Fall of 2013.

    The presentation was meant for Peru, which apparently hasn't even begun airing season 2 yet. Meaning that the Fall 2013 date for season 3 could vary well be realistic....for Peru.

    Just when I was getting my hopes up! I just don't like the idea of a Season 3 devoted to fighting beasts and nothing else practically. I think Hasbro is trying to drag this series on and on forever and suck all the blood out of it. I guess they don't want to get to the mythology yet with Optimus Prime and the Allspark and such. So they needed relics in Season 2 and now beasts in Season 3.

    So let me get this right:

    Season 1 (Dark energon storyline)
    -Megatron returns with dark energon (blood of unicron) and dies
    -Starscream takes over, nothing happens
    -Human bad guy appears
    -Megatron returns and unicron awakens
    -Prime + Megatron put unicron back to sleep

    Season 2 (Relic storyline)
    -Orion Pax starts to decode Iacon datebase
    -Nemesis decodes more
    -Humans build transformer/human back guy diabled
    -Hunt for Iacon relics
    -Human becomes Decepticon

    -Assumed ending of battle with relics involved. Will do something to start season 3

    Season 3 (Beast hunter storyline)

    I don't know but it seems like the stories are pretty thin, and take a long time to get anywhere. The clone wars tends to do similar things with 5 episode arcs per planet, but at least they switch between world and characters. Every TFprime episode seems like we are moving inches.

    You could probolly watch:

    First 3 episodes
    2 from the middle
    last 2-3

    and get the whole seasons story.

    That this could be tied in with season three of Prime surprises me.

    It would make sense for it to be its own thing, but in Prime? Really makes me wonder if they ever had ANY concrete idea of the story they were trying to tell with the show - remember the whole "what it means to be a Prime?" BS that they haven't done anything with?

    This just seems to be a sharp veer off any kind of road they were traveling.

    Making this "Beast Hunters" its own show makes sense. Revamping Prime to include it really makes Prime look like a mess.

    The show is not about being a Prime. it never was. The being a Prime comment came during Botcon when somebody asked why the name Prime and one of the producers said "because it was the only thing we could think of" and then another said "well the later episodes of Season 1 do talk about what being a Prime is like" as a possible explanation for the name.

    One year later, at Botcon, they said the name was Prime because it was the start of a new major continuity (the Aligned continuity reboot).

    So yeah, anybody thinking the show is about being a Prime needs to watch the actual video of the panels instead of going of people typing on their laptops super quick trying to get information on their site as fast as possible.

    Uh, yeah this!


    Anywho, found some interesting store listings this afternoon that might just be Beast Hunters related:


    'TF PRIME BH VOYAGER S13
    TF PRIME DLX BH S13
    TF PRIME BH COMMANDER S13
    TF PRIME BH LEGION S13

    and most interestingly..

    TF PRIME BH TRACKR VEH S13 (listed at £23)'


    If I can grab a photo of the computer screen itself at some point, i'll stick that up too...just for any sceptics out there. :wink:

    *shrugs* Didn't watch any the panels. I've been a fairweather Prime fan at best.

    Regardless of the Prime thing or what was said, I still think the direction of the show has lacked and that this bit of news brings even more of "what?" feeling to it.

    But then you won't see the character's development progress fully and as a result you'd be confused about what happend to the character in the middle and if they did come back or not.. And also that you'd also miss some important information in the middle. And maybe it looks that way but then later on they may actually play a larger role then we thought of before. The show's not over yet and I'm still sure that the writers are planning ahead.

    If not well it's not like this is the first TF show to do this. I mean Beast Wars arguably had episodes that didn't really go anywhere for it's main story and it still came out great in the end.

    Really? Well that makes sense. I didn't really remember or see some of the panels so that's cool. That's a good reminder.

    I'd imagine "Beast Hunters" would just be a subtitle a la Armada's "The Unicron Battles."
