Snakas is reporting on a Transformers Go book which was recently released, though didn't get much coverage on the web.  Below is a direct (incorrect) translation.

I think that there was no notice anywhere, but at the same time Transformers Go! New product launches on the 22nd, new promotional booklet seems to have been distributed. Previously, were distributed from April 27, Transformers Go! visual story BOOK in the second bullet, titled "Sword Ⅱ ~ bot calling on Hen-visual story BOOK". In the booklet of 8 page color as well as last time, says the story BOOK, but there is no expansion of the story concrete, introduction of the combined system and the character is in focus the content of this time. (Cover) 1 page character introduction of two human boy and 6 warrior sword bot: 2-3 pages. Introduction of three union pattern of samurai sword bot team: 4-5 page. Each finishing move introduction of samurai team three major union form: page 6. Page 7: the announcement of the Child magazine is a DVD distribution media, preview of Shinobi team. Introduction Samurai team in toy photo, of all union form of Shinobi team: 8 pages (back cover). Toy photo is being used as back cover, but otherwise, visual animation is used all. Cover over-the-counter and display, image, back cover

Keeping to the YouTube video review theme, we shall switch gears now to Transformers Go thanks to Japanese YouTuber KyoryugerJP. KyoryugerJP has posted video reviews of the remaining members of the of the Transformers Go! Samurai team as well as the combined form of GoKenzan. You can watch the videos below.

Youtube Transformers reviewer Optibotimus has posted his review of the Ultimate Class Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Optimus Prime figure onto the video sharing website. You can watch the video using the plug-in below.

Vivid Reshift of The Allspark have posted a scan from special edition of the magazine kidscreen which confirms that Transformers Prime Beast Hunters will be the final season of the show before a new animated series starts in late 2014.  

As for Hasbro's established stable of series, which drive the programming on its US joint venture network The Hub, the 13 episodes of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters due to launch this year represent the final chapter of the Transformers Prime story. It has grown to encompass 65 half-hour episodes that continue to roll out around the world. Look for a 75-minute Transformers Prime Beast Hunters movie to hit DVD shelves in Q4.

But that's note the end for Transformers. Arnesen says a "new iteration of the animated TV series" is slated for delivery in late 2014, which looks like it might be shaping up to be the year of Autobots, given that audiences are already expecting the fourth live-action blockbuster in July.

You can view the scan of the magazine article below.

ACToys.net have posted a plethora of new in-hand images of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters toys, espeically Smokescreen.  You can view all of the images, there are over 50, be clicking on the headline of this story

Full Metal Hero have some nice images of Transformers Prime Arms Micron Nemesis Prime

Summary

An underrated figure gets even better with a new black deco and massive Arms Micron blade! Powerizer Optimus didn't set the world alight due to a number of things, 1) Megatron looked better 2) The First Edition kicked butt 3) He had that hideous weapon and loads of horrible grey visible on him, but he was still a good toy that a lot of folks missed out on, hopefully this will rectify things with Nemesis reaching a wider audience. Coming with the obligatory sticker sheet Nemesis is primarily black and dark charcoal grey with the chest being broken up via the red windows and light grey border. It works very well, so well that you may chose not to apply your stickers, I prefer them applied as they add a little more detail and help bring out the red on his forearms more.

Articulation wise Nemesis is very capable with lots of ball joints allowing him to twist and turn into a variety of poses, he is also very well balanced which might come a surprise due to the large back pack made up of the trucks side panels. The Micron is makes a very cool weapon but not such a cool Micron looking a little like a pelican in its robot mode but I'm not displaying him that way and the blade mode is pure win!

Truck mode again can either have stickers on or off and it looks great, I've taken some pics with and without so you can check it out and make your mind up. I personally like the stickers on as it gives it that higher level of detail and contrasts well with the black, a really nice touch by Takara is the inclusion of 5 M.E.C.H stickers which you can place on Nemesis to your hearts content giving him that nice link to the TV show.

Overall he is a repaint so automatically becomes less desirable for some but he is Nemesis Prime, a character thats always been popular, we score him 8/10

TFW2005 have a review of Transformers Prime Arms Micron Smokesceen and S2 which you can read by following the link

Summary

Smokescreen is a remolded version of Transformers Prime Knock Out. This presents an immediate issue with show accuracy, because even with remolding, Smokescreen lacks a few design elements from his CG model on the show - the most notable being the door wings on his back. But let's not linger on the negatives - Smokescreen does manage to look different from Knock Out with his stickers, remolded rear end in vehicle mode and his new head. The head sculpt captures the character well - I'd have personally given him a smirk rather than a serious determined look - but it goes a good way to giving Smokescreen his own identity. The head is spot-on to the look of the character in the show. Stickers give Smokescreen the rest of his deco.

Smokescreen comes with Arms Micron S2, a Micron with a slender and "ornate" look. He's only poseable in the arms, but that seems to be average for the Arms Microns. S2 turns into a high-tech bow weapon for Smokescreen, which I don't recall ever seeing used in the show - yet - but if you fold S2's "wings" in you get a laser weapon that looks like an arm cannon that Smokescreen might equip for battle. In any event, the option to make it into a "gun" or "bow" lends a bit of appeal to the character.

Overall, Smokescreen is an alright release. If you disliked the design on Knock Out there is not a lot here that will change your mind, and the lack of show accuracy is a detractor. However it could be far worse, and as of the moment, this is the only Smokescreen toy available outside the upcoming Legends class in Beast Hunters.

Planet Iacon have posted a feast of magaznie scan images showing off some planned Transformers Prime Arms Micron releases, along with Masterpiece and and Power Core Combiners repaints.

The Transformers Prime Toys include Smokescreen, Silas Breakdown (a black recolour of the Japanese Exclusive figure) and a black Optimus Prime repaint.

At New York Comic-Con  it was revealed that the new Beast Hunters series will be a sub-line for the third season of Transformers Prime and will feature the introduction of a new "faction" Decepticons called the Predacons who will be lead by Predaking, a large black and orange dragon.

The first figure from the series, Predaking was shown off at the event (see the next news story for details) as was the preview for the show which has since been uploaded to the official Transformers channel over on YouTube.

TFW2005 have a nice gallery and review of Transformers Prime Thundertron (based on a character from the Transformers Exodus novel).

You can see the gallery of the first Star Seeekers toy here

TFC Toys have posted some more grey prototype images of the upcoming Uranos Blackbird ?Silverbolt) figure.

Geek Cast Radio and posted an ionterview with Steven Melching, writer of several episodes of Transformers Prime and Beast Machines, the key points that came out of this area

Other points he raised include:

• We've not seen the last of SynthEn (introduced, and last seen, in the season 1 episode Stronger, Faster)
• Steven Melching wrote the season 2 finale, Darkest Hour, and will be writing five episodes of season 3. Marsha Griffin (Prime series story editor, writer of Legacy, Predatory and Transformers Animated Endgame Part 2 amongst others) will also be writing five episodes for season 3.
• Season 2 "will not end well" for the Autobots. Apparently the big question going into season 3 will be how they get out of the situation they find themselves in.
• Season 3 will have a complete new setting, and no status quo.
• Steven Melching would be okay with season 3 being the end of the series, because going into the series they knew how they wanted the series to end, and apparently that is how season 3 will end.

Check out the whole interview on Geek Cast Radio here.

Many thanks go to Full Metal Hero for posting a confirmation images that some Toymaster stores are now stiocking Transformers Prime Wave 5 figures which include Kup, Rumble and Shadow Strike Bumblebee.

So far just Kup and Bumblebee have been spotted.

The only down side is that not everywhere has a toymaster, and if you live in an area like us, we never got past Wave 2.
