Transformers Beast Hunters: Video Transmission From Shockwave

Reflector Prime · 01-07-2013, 04:30 PM

it's for the toys, the quality is not up to the same production standard as the tv show.

Then it was a good move not to show them.

Perhaps this was specially made for the trailer, and won't actually be in the show? That'd explain why they went for the 'speak into stationary camera with body obscuring the background' type of scene. No extra scenery or characters to make.

It could very easily fit in. The first promo is Shockwave,"My Lord Megatron here is the first of the beast." Megatron,"Good Shockwave, go and make more!" Cut to Shockwaves Lab. He makes more and loses control of them.

Really hope Shockwave doesn't become season 3's early casualty like Cliff was for season 1.

I think these "beasts" were the Dinobots.........

It also doesn't help that this clip doesn't in any way line up with what we've seen of the upcoming episode so far, in that Shockwave seems to have Predaking on some sort of leash. Whilst here, he's lost total control of him before even getting to Earth.

It does look like to be more for the toys then for the show. Though the Predacons can break away to form their own faction later on which is possible.

This is most certainly for the toys. If it was for the show, then it would of said 'Transformers Prime', then shown the Beast Hunters symbol like in the trailer.

Also( I hope a news poster sees this) the YouTube description posted says "Find out what happens in FEBRUARY".

I am pretty sure that Shockwave's voice was the same guy that voiced the Starscream Movie leader toy.
