The Transformers Facebook has posted the first official images of another Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse toy. This time it's a Legion class Air Vehicon figure. Air Vehicon looks to be an entirely new mold separate from the previous car-based Cyberverse Legion class Vehicon figure, and is naturally based on the winged jet-based Vehicons seen in the cartoon (which TakaraTomy produced Deluxe class toys for, dubbed "Jet Vehicon"). to see the images of the new Air Vehicon figure, head through the space bridge.

Comic Book Resources has posted an article with an image of a variant cover for IDW's "MY Little Pony Micro Series" #5 issue featuring Optimus Prime and Pinkie Pie. The comic itself is an ordinary My Little Pony comic, with the cover being the only Transformers-related aspect of this, as it is a special edition cover to be given away at BotCon this year in San Diego from June 27th to the 30th. All it takes is a hop, skip, and a jump ahead to see the cover.

Just as promised, artist Ken Christiansen has posted on his Bad Flip Productions Blog another piece of Aligned Continuity concept art from the Binder of Revelation. This time, it's Megatron's altmode that, surprisingly unlike his TF: Prime cartoon model, is a tank. An Earth human tank. Though it's obviously not what inspired Megatron's TF: Prime altmode, this design could have served as the base for the tank mode of Megatron from the Transformers Legends mobile game.

Tonight, the 57th episode of Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters, titled "Project Predacon" aired on the Hub. Now that Darkmount is destroyed, Optimus in a new body, and Team Prime back together at last, what are the Decepticons to do? Why, clone more Predacons, of course! But let's not jump to conclusions just yet, as let us first head through the space bridge to view and discuss the episode.

Here's something we haven't talked much about yet: BeCool. What is BeCool, you say? BeCool is the name given to the Japanese releases of the Bot Shots toys. The word "BeCool" ("Bikūru") is a double-pun on the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Vehicle" ("Bīkuru") and the Japanese word for "Surprise" ("Bikkuri"). Unlike Bot Shots, BeCool doesn't have a game play pattern, rather, the quick and easy transformations of the toys are used as the line's main gimmick. As such, the chest stickers are different from the rock-paper-scissors play pattern of the Bot Shots toys, with the BeCool versions instead having chest stickers with each toys vehicle mode or some related to it on them.

Beyond the space bridge, you can find a special commercial video from TakaraTomy advertising the BeCool toyline in all its youthful, kawaii innocence.

Artist Ken Christiansen has posted on his Bad Flip Productions Blog a piece of concept art for the Aligned Continuity version of Optimus Prime. Though this piece of art is technically not new (as it had been published in a tiny size in the Transformers Vault book), this gives us a bigger look at the truck design from the Binder of Revelation that formed the basis for Optimus' first truck mode in the Transformers: Prime cartoon.

Christiansen also hints at revealing more of the Binder's Aligned Continuity artwork further down the line. Through the space bridge for the content.
