TFW2005 board member Magmatron has posted a summary of the events which took placed in Transformers Animated Episode 25: Autobot Camp which aired today in Dubai. Below you will find images as well as a cleaned-up / corrected summary.
spoiler warning
The episode begins with Sentinel Prime, on Cybertron, chasing after a traitor who escapes to Earth via a Space-Bridge. Ultra Magnus reports the news to the Autobots on Earth with Bumblebee recognising the traitor as an old friend of his called Wasp, and so decides to go find him along with Bulkhead. At this point the episode switches to a flashback where Bumblebee is watching a broadcast from the Elite Guard telling the new recruits to assemble for a test. He talks to his friend about the tests, and as the pair head off we discover that they are like brothers and made from the same parts. As they arrive they meet up with some other new recruits including Longarm, Ironhide and Bulkhead.
Their instructor arrives and asks the group to show him their abilities. Longarm shows that he canextend his limbs, Ironhide showed he could turn his body to metallic silver and Bumblebee showed off his stingers. The group of new recruits begin their trading during which Cliffjumper has a brief cameo. Also during the training Bumblebee finds a lost transmitter which has a recording of Megatron giving some information to a "traitor". Bumblebee becomes suspicious of everyone, except the fifth robot. When the training exercise goes haywire causing lazers to be fired rather thean paint, Bulkhead has to safe Bumblebee. The camp ends, but the traitor has not been caught
The flashback ends and it turns out that the traitor didn't really jump to Earth, but only pretended too.
The scene shifts once more and shows Megatron talking to the fifth robot from the camp. The robot announces that no-one suspects him and then changes his head revealing that he is, in fact, Shockwave!

TFW2005's Dubai resident Magmatron has posted a brief summary and images from the latest Transformers Animated episode to air. The episode was number 24 entitled S.U.V. - Society of Ultimate Villainy. The episode saw the return of many Human super- villains as well as the Transformers Animated debut for Swindle.
Here is a cleaned up version of Magmatrons summary.
Look away if you do not wish to read any spoilers
The episode starts with the Autobots chasing Nanosec. As Bumblebee closes in to catch the high-speed villain, he is suddenly frozen by a mysterious blast. His saviour turns out to be a new human super-villain, a woman with the ability to freeze time. The pair team up along with The Angry Archer and Professor Princess working for a mysterious contractor. The contractor, who will only speak to them from inside a car, wants the group to build a machine that fires a time-stopping wave. After they complete the task, the contractor, who turns out to be none other than the Decepticon Swindle, double crosses them and steals the device.
Swindle uses the machine to freeze the Autobots and strikes a deal with Megatron to sell him the device. The super-villains, who are now angry at Swindle, team-up with Sari to revive Bumblebee. The group work together to defeat Swindle only for the Humans to then double-cross Bumblebee and steal back the machine. During the fracus, Swindle knocks the machine away from the Humans and straight into the possession of Bumblebee who uses it to defeat both Swindle and the super-villains.

Transformers Animated made its long awaited German debut today on Super TRL at 15:49 with the first part of Transform and Rollout. The episode was completed dubbed into German where its official title was Transformieren und Abfahrt - Teil 1.
TransformersAnimated.com has since been updated to include the German showtimes, using an official RTL feed for the details, on both its main page and on the dedicated Transformers Animated showtimes pages. TransformersAnimated.com now displays the official showtimes for the US (Cartoon Network), Canada (YTV), the UK (NickToons), Australia (Cartoon Network) and Germany (Super RTL) allowing fans from all over the world to find out when the next episode of will air.
Unfortunately, Nick UK have not updated their feed for some time, so there is not much information for UK fans. We have bought this up several times with Nick, and will try to push them to get this corrected.

The Transformers Animated The Battle Begins double set, that was first spotted by our message board member Luffy yesterday, appears to be across the country, and not just restricted to one area. Our nearest Toys R Us, Woking, also had set for sale, and are normally a few weeks to a month behind stores further north when it comes to releases. As reported yesterday, the set is not yet listed on the Toys R Us website. You can find your nearest Toys R Us store by visting the Store Locator page at Transformers At The Moon. You can also view all of the current Toys R Us website listing on the Toys R Us store listings page.
It should be noted that the set is not a US import but is still a single language box. The bottom of the box gives Hasbro details for the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
