Because spike truck! Don't care if it's not 100% how he looks in-show. I feel they've made a good toy.

I think this series is going to end very well.. that promo got me excited. and optimus' new design is awesome. He looks more of a prime now imo & now he's going to be a bad ass like "Im back b****es!"
He's just going to tear everything up. I can't wait.

I feel you man. He's probably going to be dead for a little bit. (promo picture that show his lifeless eyes) Maybe his time being dead will give smokescreen more leadership overall. But smokescreen prime? it doesnt sound right to me. I like him as a character and a leader at that would be better. But i could never imagine transformers seriously using smokescreen prime.

Because all the prior images we're in relation to the toys. We didn't know if Prime would actually appear this way in the show. This image is directly from the Hub promoting tomorrow's new episode.

I could also imagine Dr. Wu making a mouthplated head for this guy as well.

I never thought about that before. That would make for quite the twist.

animeflavor.com tends to have the episodes up same day a few hours after it airs. That's where I watch it.
The website's logo is a Decepticon insignia as well.

How so? It could have been an image of a cold dead Prime, or a ghost Prime, or Prime handing the Matrix to Smokescreen, or anything Prime related.
Besides, everybody already knows Prime isn't going to die in any permanent manner. Peter Cullen has said in interviews that he doesn't die, Benson Yee has already posted a review of tomorrow's episode stating that he doesn't die, and it's ya know...........Optimus Prime, he tends to make a habit of not staying dead.

Add that to the fact that Seibertron.com is not in business to keep spoilers away from the public. We're here to provide news and information for those who want to find out info about all of the different facets of the Transformers brand. Seibertron.com is not a spoiler-free zone.

I am marginally sure that is Maggy's ship, maybe the Jackhammer, but wouldn't that be an excellent time to reveal Prime can fly?

It's a spoiler because up until we weren't sure Prime would appear this way in the show. Up until now all it's been all about the toys, and as we know just because a toy gets produced doesn't mean in will make it to the show. I highly doubt the rest of the cast will get their Beast Hunter upgrades in the show.

Well, we saw a rendering on Prime's packaging, and we saw basically this image on the Hub's invitation to the red carpet premiere.
Not to mention, Optimus's new design has been more consistent between the toys. The Commander one looks like the Voyager one looks like the Kre-O one, while pretty much everybody else has a different design for each subline. And they went to the effort of making a completely new mold, while everybody else who's not getting a new body in-show is just a retool of their RID toy. I think it was a foregone conclusion that Optimus would actually look like this in the show.

Also, DAMN THE NEW PRIME IS MASSIVE. Just to keep scale we'll need Dragon Blaster Prime and Platinum Ultra Magnus.
Posted by Seibertron on April 12th, 2013 @ 11:48pm CDT
However, as a "Beast Hunters" episode, I thought it was another flawed episode that doesn't seem to be lining up with the Beast Hunters marketing and toyline. With each passing episode, it's becoming more and more obvious that the Beast Hunters theme is just a marketing ploy / gimmick for the toyline than it is about a true universal theme for the cartoon. Predaking seemed really forced in this episode and was easily defeated. Shockwave, on the other hand, was far more "badass" that Predaking.
Hopefully the IDW Beast Hunters comics will fill in the gaps to make it seem much more like Beast Hunters to match the toyline than the cartoon is doing.
I think when everything is all said and done, I'll be really happy that the cartoon stuck to its guns and stayed true to the general format from the past couple of years. I think it will feel much more like Transformers Prime Season 3 than Beast Hunters season 1 (yes, I know it's TFP Season 3, but hopefully you know what I mean or am feeling).

Has it been established that Ultra Magnus is the leader of the Wreckers in this continuity?

EDIT: TFWiki says he and his group were named the Wreckers in the Aligned novels:
