Zap2it has posted the synopsis of the next episode of Transformers Prime. Episode 45 - the 19th episode of Season 2 - is titled The Human Factor. It's due to air on 14 September 2012 and to say any more would be a spoiler! Suffice is to say the plot is going to return to a hanging plot thread fans have been looking forward to a resolution of for quite some time! If you don't mind being spoiled, read on to see the summary tagline.

It's a two for one bonus in our latest gallery update! Not only are we bringing you a look at the
Generations Powerdive Voyager Class toy, recently released in Asia and due for a release as a Toys R Us Exclusive in the US shortly, but we also have a gallery for you of the original version of the mold,
Highbrow!
This twin prop plane mold is a real "love it or hate it" design. The arms are admittedly the weak spot in robot mode, yet they also have a certain style that seems especially appropriate for Powerdive - the fists can tuck away and allow the arms to convert into full on rotor arms like the 2007 Movie Incinerator. The legs, thanks to the tail fins acting as poseable toes, can strike and hold some great and dynamic poses. The heads on both releases are modeled for actual plane pilots - Highbrow has a very "Biggles" inspired head (just add scarf) while Powerdive gets more of an oxygen mask look. The plane modes are a great design, a twin prop plane design very rarely seen among transforming robot toys.
Powerdive is an oddity though for being released in the Generations series, a line strongly thought of as Classics, when his design, mostly real world deco and headsculpt all make him look right at home on a movieverse shelf. Regardless of where you stand him in your collection, he is a good fun toy, as was Highbrow before him.
Open the links below to check out both galleries!

There is a saying where I am from "you wait ages for a bus to arrive, then three turn up at once". Evidently this is also true for Transformers toys because we've been waiting a while for the new assortment of Bot Shot Launchers and now two have both been sighted! Bot Shots Launcher Wave 2 featuring
Ironhide and Wave 3 featuring
Starscream have both been sighted at US retail in the Warminster, PA Walmart.
Happy hunting everyone!

By way of
user 9981 on HK-TF, we have a pair of rather interesting pictures to share with you right now.
The first, being released under the Generations banner, is a Transformers Prime two pack consisting of the upcoming Gaia Unicron and Arms Micron Optimus Prime. The two as previously teased can combine, this giftset release gives you both arts of the combiner in a single box. It's also a great new look at the Gaia Unicron figure, our clearest so far. Given the Generations banner, it is entirely likely this will be another Asian market exclusive.
Second is a new image of the Chinese New Year special, the Year of the Snake Omega Supreme. The new image is not giving a lot away - Energon Omega Supreme is shown in the image, unaltered from his release in 2004, although it is possible given that this is the stock photo from the Energon release that this is just a placeholder.

Zap2it has updated with the title and synopsis of the next new episode of Transformers Prime, and the title alone should give a lot of you what you've been hoping for. The next new episode which is slated to air on 7 September 2012 is titled "New Recruit", and true to form, the description teases of a new member for Team Prime! Be sure to tune in and check it out - and don't forget that Transformers Prime returns with all new episodes next Friday with "Hurt"

Here's a quick follow on from the news earlier about the terms for the Transformers Collector's Club Subscription Service - it's live!
Head on over to the Transformers Collector's Club Homepage to read the terms and get in on the ground floor of the subscription service. Remember to read the terms - you need to be a member, and you can either pay by installments or pay the whole thing in one lump sum.
An update from earlier is that the figures will not ship in pairs - that's an artifact left over from the similarly-worded GI Joe terms and conditions - these will ship individually, so you get six toys at various points through the year (seven if you want to count Depth Charge, the membership freebie)
Remember, there is no need to rush to get your order in as these are made to order. If you get your order in by the cut-off date, midnight on 10 September 2012, you will receive the set of six toys.
Lastly the slides from Botcon showing off the six toys have been posted on Facebook, if you want a clear look at what you are getting with the subscription. Check out the six - Prime Slipstream, Classics Circuit, Beast Wars Ultra Mammoth, Animated Jackpot, Universe Classics Breakdown and Generations Robots in Disguise Scourge. Remember if you only want one of these six figures, singles may be available through the Transformers Collectors Club, but at a higher price than they work out at through the subscription.

Bleedingcool.com has updated their site with IDW Publishing's solicitations for the month of November. Not only will be getting the new issues for More Than Meets The Eye, Robots in Disguise and Regeneration One but we'll be getting the newest title as well. Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots!
TRANSFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS EYE ONGOING #11
(W) James Roberts (A) Alex Milne (CA) Alex Milne, Nick Roche
SHADOWLAND CONCLUDES! And it’s the end of an era when, on pre-war CYBERTRON, enemies close in on all sides and Orion Pax – the future OPTIMUS PRIME – selects a team of AUTOBOTS to help him pull off the ultimate heist – with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance!
TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE ONGOING #11
(W) John Barber (A) Guido Guidi (CA) Casey Coller, Andrew Griffith
CYBERTRON IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE! Tensions ratchet up between AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS as violence breaks out in the heart of the city… and PROWL looks for someone to blame. Is DIRGE a convenient target-or the key to what comes next? Plus… an old friend comes back home.
TRANSFORMERS PRIME RAGE O/T DINOBOTS #1 (OF 4)
(W) Mike Johnson, Mairghread Scott (A) Agustin Padilla (CA) Ken Christiansen
Bridging the story from the Fall of Cybertron video game to the Prime TV show-the DINOBOTS hold the line as CYBERTRON falls! With OPTIMUS PRIME and the Ark long gone, the rest of the population makes their escape from the dying world-but SHOCKWAVE remains behind, continuing his experiments!
