A second Transformers: Prime Season 2 Upcoming Episodes Promo, similar to
what we saw couple of days back, is now online. Sadly, this promo is shorter than the original and is missing few key scenes (but thankfully giving us a clear look at the new Autobot’s vehicle mode).
We also took liberty to grab
screen captures from the video for your viewing pleasure.
Credit goes to You Tube user darkenpuffs for uploading the video to You Tube and our very own citygrl903 for pointing us to the right direction.
Like the previous trailer, this trailer too can be considered as Spoilers.

Takara-Tomy by way of Amazon Japan has released official images of the three Arms Micron series releases for September in Japan. Due out around 28 September are
Gaia Unicron,
Ironhide and
Arms Master Optimus Prime. Gaia Unicron is so far only confirmed for a Japanese release and transforms from a large robot mode into a demonic tank, and can also evidently transform into armor for Optimus Prime or Megatron. Ironhide is a recolor of Sergeant Kup and again currently Japan is the only place confirmed to be getting this recolor. Lastly Arms Master Optimus Prime is the Japanese release of Weaponizer Optimus Prime, with a translucent blue version of Ratchet's R.A. Arms Micron and a large "Matrix" accessory which transforms into a huge sword. Not shown in these pictures is the fact it can also combine with both robot and truck mode on Optimus.

Bulkhead Knuckle,

Also shown in this gallery is a demonstration of a pair of new Arms Micron Super Combo Weapons, one formed from the combination of Bulkhead Knuckle and Wave 1's
Optimus Prime Blaster and
Bumblebee Sword, and the other formed using Dado and Wave 1's
Gob and

Our fellow fans over at
the Allspark have shared some translated details of the Transformers United EX line which was originally published in the latest Figure King magazine. The translation gives the overarching backstory for the line, a couple of new subgroups, and lastly also details the basic bios of the first two "Prime Mode" sets,
Combat Master and
Jet Master.
The backstory goes that the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has once again shifted into outer space leaving the Earth in relative peace. The Autobots, working with Professor Chase (aka Chip Chase from the Generation 1 cartoon series) develop a new system where they can use Power Core Combination to merge with teams of four drones. The Autobots with this capability become known as "Master Class", but the Decepticons form their own covert counter-ops team with the same abilities, named "Master Chaos".
Essentially it is a fleshing out of the basic premise of the Power Core Combiners line, as well as shifting the backstory from a pseudo-Movie universe continuity into a fully Generation 1 incorporated continuity. According to a further post by
Hydra on the Allspark, it takes place very late in Japanese Generation 1 continuity, with the character names being codenames - i.e. Jet Master is not the character's actual identity but a codename to conceal who he really is, due to the classified nature of the project.

The Transformers Collectors Club have released a couple of new pictures of their Subscription Service Scourge figure on
Twitter. One of the two pictures shows a nice closeup on Scourge brandishing his Sword of Fury in a recreation of one of his iconic poses from Robots in Disguise. The second picture is a comparison with the other two recent uses of the mold, the Botcon 2012 Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus. The picture gives you an idea of how the paint applications have been varied up a bit to give this iteration of the mold a new, fresh feeling.
You've got until 12 September to get your subscription in for this figure and the other five in the Subscription Service set (Animated Jackpot, Prime Slipstream, Classics Breakdown, Classics Circuit and Beast Wars Ultra Mammoth are the other five). Find out more at the
Transformers Collectors Club homepage.
