The Official Transformers Facebook page has uploaded a new promotional image for Beast Hunters featuring Optimus Prime & Megatron. Interestingly enough, unlike both the voyager Beast Hunter Optimus and Ultimate Optimus Prime figures, Prime in this image sports his battle mask. The image also shows Prime sporting a green Star Saber and green eyes like on the aforementioned toys.
Could a battle mask head sculpt be planned as running changes to both of the figures or used later on for repaints/retools? While Predaking has been hyped as the main nemesis for the show, it remains to be seen if Megatron will be upgraded. A new figure of him has not been shown for the Beast Hunters line thus far, however, as noted with our Toy Fair 2013 Transformers Toy Information, 1 out of the 6 voyager figures remains to be seen…

Agree with you that Prime new figure sure looks like WFC Prime except that it is bigger in size for the toy

Found this cool new promo image from Planet Iacon and thought'd be nice to share:
I don't know but I really like Prime's new figure, kinda resembles WFC Prime and FOC Prime.

Does anyone have a solution to the second Beam reroute puzzle?
Jehsee
Is it sad that this is my first time ever going to that site?

Oh i'm well aware that they are being tied together, this was more in reference to people saying that "Prime" was cancelled after BH, but really the name Prime has already been dropped, into BH, so whatever show is next, is likely just like BH is an extension of Prime.

TBH = Transformers Beast Hunters OR To Be Honest.
It's a good thing…now we can just use BH.

That's because Transformers: Prime is being "Re-Branded" as Transformers: Beast Hunters.

Fatimus Prime 3.0 arrives.

I like the way Prime has his wheels embedded in his legs shame more of the toys don't do that.

OMG, who's the dead con who thought pumping him full of Synth En was a good idea?!

so it seems Optimus will be getting that green energon to give him a boost lol
This is supposedly the last season for the show apparently and only 13 episodes how can they tell a good story doing that?

It sure does come across to me like the Autobots and Decepticons will have to put their differences aside for a while this season in order to address the Predacons.

They should've just given Voyager BH Prime that face plate, but he still looks cool. And now, hopefully, people will stop complaining about his eyes and sword being green, if this is any indication of how they'd look on the show.

I like the image. It looks like Optimus and Megatron are holding hands with Predaking. They've all finally talked out all their problems! Yay cooperation and friendship!

True, But after "Loose Cannons" Wheeljack became a part timer of Team Prime and would proved valuable assistance to the team when it was required . I'd imagine that this would constitute as major required.

I didn't know that.. Where's the interview?

Wheeljack, however, probably will be this season, considering how James Horan said he was in every episode recorded for the season as of May-ish.

Wheeljack was never part of the core cast (Team Prime).
