Transformers Prime: Predacons Rising DVD and Blu-ray Set Cover Art

I have been looking forward to getting my hands on this set,
However can anyone confirm or deny this is the season 3 as well as the mini movie?
From the price point, it seems to be but nothing else to confirm this by.
Anyone have any other info?

This is the movie. Just the movie. Season 3 was not called "Predacons Rising".

To bad Hasbro already spoiled the plot

Will they be showing this on The Hub or is it a straight to DVD thing?

Yes. It will air on the Hub in the Fall.

I'm dieing to see a teaser for the movie, it is just killing me.

Anything on when the complete series is coming out?

So despite having a "-con" suffix, Predacons aren't Decepticons?

I guess since there were Mini-cons, this seems okay, but is a more difficult pill to swallow.

Joetx wrote:So despite having a "-con" suffix, Predacons aren't Decepticons?

The Decepticons cloned a Predacon from fossilized remains. The Predacon soon evolved to the point of transformational capability. In fear of a Predacon revolution, the Decepticons destroyed the remaining Predacon clones in breeding and framed the Autobots, leaving the evolved Predaking at odds with the Autobots and of Decepticon allegience.

Later, Predaking learned the truth, and was exiled from Decepticon responsibility.

Also, the original Predacons predated the Decepticons in this continuity, as they were a prehistoric race of Cybertronian wildlife that existed long before the regular Cybertronian race did.

There's also the bit about the Predacons being their own unique race, whereas the Decepticons are just ordinary Cybertronians having taken a political/militaristic faction name of their own.

In a way, the Predacons are to the Decepticons as dinosaurs are to the human members of Al Qaeda.

Them Predacons look sick (really good). I can't wait to see this TFP finale. I can't wait to see Grimwing. The Grimwing toy is Great. I can't wait to get my Ultimate beast fire Predaking. And I'm hoping there are some serious battles in this movie. I'm talking Autobots losing their sparks or like how Ultra Magnus got his hand permanently seperated by Predaking, lol

I saw that one I meant another one I should have been more specific.

Has there been a HD version Of that teaser by chance?

Not yet, sadly.

Several forum members have brought a new promotional trailer for the Transformers: Prime Predacons Rising feature to our attention, courtesy of IMDB.com. The video features a couple of shots of previously unknown or just rumoured appearances by some characters, so we recommend watching only if you are ok with spoilers!

** VIDEO REMOVED PER SHOUT! FACTORY'S REQUEST **

Oh, no! My country is not available this video!

ohmygodicantwait! Prime is easily my favourite version of Transformers so far, even more so than the old UK comics, which is saying something. I mean, easily the best incarnations of Soundwave, Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, etc., ever.. or should that be.. Galvatron..??

anyone know when this is airing?!

That possessed Megatron kinda looks like Galvatron, he even has a bit more purple on him.

It's kinda weird seeing a trailer for Prime done in Movie styling.

Cannot wait.

Is it just me... Or is there a chance that Megatron looks like Sharkticon Megatron? His head and some other body designs seem different. But too dark to tell. If not, it makes me wonder why they remold the TV show design without a toy to sell.

By the All Spark!

Damn this looks really good, can I fast forward a few months? I'm so excited for this.

Argh! It's times like these a guy can really despise region formatting.

Youtube and BitTorrent are your best friends

Wow, was I just seeing things or did I see what it looks like Megatron turned into Galvatron. This movie looks epic. I can't even imagine what's going to happen after remembering that last last shocking episode of Transformers prime.

Suddenly that Commander Class "Unicron Megatron" makes a LOT more sense.

kriksix wrote:Megatron, etc., ever.. or should that be.. Galvatron..??

Unicron Megatron actually.

i was hoping to see the dinobots in this movie. since they stayed on cybertron and all.

Unicron sounds a bit like Michael Ironside(Ultra Magnus), or is that just me?

This video is not available in your country.

AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sounded more like John Noble to me, which would make sense seeing as that's who voiced him in season 1.

** VIDEO REMOVED PER SHOUT! FACTORY'S REQUEST **

Here you go people, for those who can't watch it on IMDb it looks like Megatron is idd now Galvatron. This looks awesome

So I just had this thought. You know what Megatron's possessed silhouette reminded me of?

So, now, this means I need a Voyager Unicron Megatron retool on top of Smokescreen and FE Bumblebee deco repaints. *sigh* Hasbro, you better make this a convention exclusive set or something.

Yeah, Darksteel is DEFINITELY green & blue, which means they're using Grimwing's model. I also see red & orange. Strange. I wonder if we're getting any new characters on top of these Predacons?

PrymeStriker wrote:I wonder if we're getting any new characters on top of these Predacons?

I certainly hope so. But the brief synopsis we were first given a month back made it clear when it said "Predaking, joined by two more Predacons".

I still refuse to believe that one of these is Vertebreak.

Mindmaster wrote:So I just had this thought. You know what Megatron's possessed silhouette reminded me of?

You know, that, combined with Dark Energon pretty much being akin to Angolmois, shows just how much of this series the makers think they're doing is original, when a lot of it has been done before to their unawares.

I'm pretty sure one is meant to be Sky Lynx/Skystalker/Backbite. I don't know where the idea he's meant to be Vertebreak came from.

Someone on TFW thought one of them wa Vertebreak.

But, they're just Darksteel and Skylynx.

However, from the trailer we saw at SDCC, there might be a legion of Terrorcon Predacon generics as well.

Mind. Blown.



Oh, so it's actually Skylynx, not Vertebreak? Thank God. I can believe Skylynx!

Though I could've sworn one of the officials at SDCC said it was Vertebreak.

i'd like to know what became of airachnid and the insecticons, now that she's the terrorcon queen.

Jack Hallows wrote:i'd like to know what became of airachnid and the insecticons, now that she's the terrorcon queen.

Simple. She's stuck on one of Cybertron's moons, sucking the energy away from her Insecticon hordes to sustain herself.

she was on earth last time we saw her though. kinda sucks there won't be a forth season of this. i'd love to see the dinobots go to earth. slag would totally melt the f-er's with his flamethrower breath.

No, last we saw her, Soundwave bridged her and her Insecticons to Cybertron's moon.

Jack Hallows wrote:she was on earth last time we saw her though.

I think you need to watch this.

as i was. so much has happened this season that i'd forgotten all about that. that was definitely one of soundwave's more gangsta exploits throughout the whole series.

well, that makes it even better now that she's much closer to cybertron! they could definitely craft some ill new stories around her and the insecticons.

You have better chance with amaz.com , itunes.com if its released on site, or bittorrent.

you need be fast and lucky to see whole movie on youtube with good quality

That's a very Movie-esque trailer.

So we sit thru the whole "Beast Hunters" season only to find out the eponymous Beasts don't really do anything until this movie, only to find out Unicron and an undead Megatron are basically going to hijack it.

What's more is that, of the new named Predacons we're getting, the total amount of them will be a mere two of them.

Meanwhile, Sanjou Gattai Transformers Go! continues to deliver on its use of Predacon numbers, having had a total of ten Predacons in just three episodes.

Samsonator wrote:Suddenly that Commander Class "Unicron Megatron" makes a LOT more sense.

Yes indeed. The Construct-Bots version probably gives away more than the repainted Commander Class version.

To be honest though, I think I like the Cyberverse figure much more than I do the Construct-Bots one. Really though, I should reserve judgement until we see clearer images of Unicron-Megatron (I refuse to call him Galvatron unless he is named explicitly so in the movie).
