By way of the
Toon Barn Youtube page, we have a preview clip for the next episode of Transformers Prime, The Human Factor. In this spoiler clip, likely from the opening pre-credits segment of the episode, we see the return of two major characters "as you've never seen them before" (unless you've been following the toy release news. Or caught the foreshadowing earlier this year)
Check it out below:

Thanks to Neo-Bombshell of the 2005 Boards, we have a possible confirmation of the
recent “Beast Hunters” Trademark. According to a document he’s sharing with us via Google Docs, the new Trademark is the title for the upcoming Transformers: Prime Season 3. It is stated that we’ll get to see it in Fall 2013.
Also it is worth noting that Hasbro has plans for Transformers: Prime even beyond 2014 and Transformers: Generations will go until 2014.
We are yet to hear more about the upcoming season and the proposed IDW tie-in comics featuring Prime incarnation of the Dinobots and the recent Thundertron may even play a pivotal role. You can view the PDF formatted document via a
Google Docs account Neo-Bombshell is sharing. He is also kind enough to translate the document and has posted
at the thread.

Whoa Hasbro! That’s two days with two reveals… Oh yes, you read the title… here’s the story from your favorite Transformers Website:
Hasbro has applied for a brand-new Trademark (at the United States Patent & Trademark Office) under 2 categories:
Toyline: toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms.
Cartoon Series: entertainment services, namely, an on-going animated television series for children.
And the Trademark is… Beast Hunters.
Fans of the Beast Era would immediately recognize the new trademark as the original working title for Beast Machines.
We don’t know how this will eventually turn-out to be… but we do know that there are thousands of TFW2005 Beast Era fans dancing at the moment. Party tonight, people?

A few quick little updates for the e-HOBBY + TFCC Collaboration Shattered Glass Soundwave VS Blaster set (Which goes for preorder through the Transformers Collectors Club store later today) for you this morning. First up,
e-HOBBY has updated their product page with a new packaging sample image. On an interesting note, the "Solar Bot" toy (Who will allegedly be a translucent yellow redeco of the Eject/Rewind mold) has been photoshopped out/left out of the packaging sample. Is a reveal of this toy still to come?
On a related note, the Transformers Collectors Club has clarified a few things
via their Twitter account regarding the release of this set:
The EHobby is not build to order BUT we can order as many as we want. Confused? To clarify, our order has to be in BEFORE the Pre-order period is up on our end. So we could technically run out as we are not going to go heavy on these. We will do a guesstimate based on the first couple weeks of sales. We won't go overboard and cut it way short as we know many will wait till that last week. But we dont want to be way heavy either. So when you are able to, please get your order in.Read Replies (0)

Courtesy of the
Planet Iacon Facebook page, we now have a confirmation of future Takara-Tomy Transformers releases for the Arms Micron, Encore, and Transformers Generations lines in Japan. These confirmations are listings only and there are no pictures at this time.
First, for the upcoming "Transformers Generations" line we have an announcement that the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons will be released in Japan seperately in game-accurate colors. Whether or not these toys will have a special metallic paint job as rumored for the Optimus Prime and Jazz releases has yet to be seen.
Second, for the Arms Micron line we have listings for both Frenzy AND Rumble, as well as a release for "Stunticon Wildrider". It is unknown at this time which mold the Wildrider release will be made from, but odds are the Frenzy and Rumble toys are two releases of the recently released Deluxe Rumble mold. Which one is red, and which one is blue? Only time will tell.
And finally, something from a bit out of left field: A new Encore release has been listed- A yellow remold of the Encore Devastator release, allegedly with a new headsculpt.
