Basically, season three of Transformers Prime will have the 'Beast Hunters' subline, and will feature Predacons, led by a massive dragon called Predaking. The preview clip for Season 3 shows
SPOILER! (select to read)SPOILER! (select to read)The toyline itself will be rebranded with a new subline and new packaging, with Kup and Rumble being the last wave of RID toys. Some of the beasts will have their own packaging due to their large size. The Predacons shown are mostly dragons or draconic in shape, including some all-new Kreons made to tie in with Beast Hunters. The Predacon insignia looks like a cross between the BW insignia and Predaking's face.Shockwave arriving through a Space Bridge, with Predaking in tow, who is MASSIVE. Apparently the Predacons are Cybertronian dinosaurs or something.
Most of the returning Autobots and Decepticons are retooled to have vehicle modes that are weaponized, a la DOTM Wreckers. Most of the returning characters have slightly remoulded heads as well. Nearly all the new toys have 'comes w/ [weapon]' in their name. More toy-only characters.
Only the first waves are previewed, and Hasbro promises to be 'leak free' to prevent the 'previewed a year before release' shenanigans that happened with FOC toys last time. We were shown prototypes for Kickback and Starscream in NYCC.
Hasbro also claims they are trying to bring over Masterpiece Sideswipe, Red Alert and Soundwave, as well as Prime Unicron, Breakdown and Smokescreen, but doesn't have any concrete plans yet. Unicron seems to be the highest on their list at the moment.
Legion Class:
-Bumblebee: retooled to have spikes in vehicle mode and a new weapon, and a new head with a big center crest.
-Smokescreen: new mould, non weaponized.
-Airachnid: new mould, non weaponized.
-Twinstrike: awesome-looking Predacon based on G1 Sinnertwin.
Commander Class:
-Bulkhead: more spikes in vehicle mode, a new head, and repainted to resemble G1 Roadbuster.
-Predaking: the main big bad, turns into a black and orange dragon. Will have toys in multiple size classes. Robot mode have not been shown to us, the three Predaking toys are only shown in beast modes.
Cyberverse Playsets:
-Sky Claw w/ Smokescreen: A blue jet thing with a repaint of Smokescreen, who uses the same blue-and-yellow rally deco as the Walmart-exclusive deco of Sideswipe in DOTM a while back.
-Apex Armor w/ Breakdown: Apex Armor (extensive retool of Bumblebee Battle Suit that doesn't look a thing like the show's Apex Armor) with a straight repaint of the Cyberverse Breakdown toy in green.
Deluxe Class:
-Bumblebee: Again, new spikes, new head and a new crossbow weapon. Actually looked pretty awesome.
-Soundwave w/ Ravage: Retooled and repainted in black with a new jet front, new wings, a new capture-claw accessory, and replacing Laserbeak with Ravage. Ravage will form Soundwave's bra in place of Laserbeak.
-Wheeljack: Retooled with spikes, and has a blocky spear accessory.
-Lazerback: new character, some sort of red gryphon thing with a gun accessory.
Voyager Class:
-Predaking: weapons can turn into additional heads to turn him into a hydra.
Larger Class: (non stated)
-Predaking: A larger toy of Predaking, stated to be larger compared to Cybertron Scourge. Probably will fit in Weaponizers or an equivalent class.
Kre-O Playsets
-Ripclaw (a large red dragon building set), comes with Ripclaw Kreon. Kreon seems to share a lot of parts with Knock Out, albeit with wings
-Bumblebee (a large 4x), with Bumblebee Kreon. Comes with Skystalker the blue dragon, who is a Kreo-built thing.
-Trailcutter vs Grimwing (a green Kreo-built... guess what, dragon).
-Windcharger vs Corhada (a serpent Predacon borrowing his name from a Japanese BW Maximal that's basically a bunch of thin parts strung up together)
[Both Trailcutter and Windcharger transform into car modes, but this time
around it's more car-like instead of random robot bits rearranged.]
Generations Platinum Edition:
-Omega Supreme: retool of the Energon mould with a new G1-based head with a flip-up visor, new hands based on the WFC design, and repainted to resemble G1. Transforms into a train and a tank now. Release in US via Amazon and BBTS at the end of the year.
-Optimus Prime: repaint of the Energon mould.
