The Hub have sent out a small PR email that contains tow images from episode 9 of Transformers Prime. The "exclusive" images are not really exclusive to anyone as The Hub's mail distribution is quite wide at the moment to draw interest towards the show. The new episode, which will air tomorrow, is called Convoy and the images show Optimus Prime in vehicle mode complete with a trailer. You can view the images below.
