Transformers Prime 'Convoy' Promo Video

Awwww, crap, here we go again with the human villains...

Human villains? WHA?!! Seriously though, I am looking forward to the next episode.

Anyone else thinking Cybertron Downshift when they saw those cars attacking the Autobots? Love that style of car. I could care less about the Autobots new enemy, I just want to see more of those vehicles.

As Bender said after that one Animated promo,

"Hey baby, wanna'...kill all the evil-humans?"

Such a shame TFA was canceled before they could work in Robot Master...

And since it wasn't sentient, that green car actually reminded me more of Kevin Levin's car from Ben 10, which is just as likely an influence.

those cars make me think of wasp, being green and vaguely bumblebee shaped

I hope they are pretender shells so we don't get something like the Angry Archer again...

I still don't like the aesthetics of the show (too reminscent of Animated) and seriously doubt I'll buy any of the toys, but I've enjoyed the first few episodes. I think the cast is good--even the ones I never heard of--and laughed a lot when Bulkhead squealed like a little girl.

The Hub has uploaded a higher quality promo for this week's episode of Tranformers Prime 'Convoy'. The Autobots are faced with a new enemy while assisting Agent Fowler in transporting an implosion device. Check out the embedded video below!

Human Villains? no way! is there such a thing?
maybe we will have a secret club of the legion of villians
with Dr. Archevile Sean Berger and Zarak

actualy that car kinda gives me a lockdown vibe

I wonder what "scary" plothole they've made that this item can't be transported via the bridge.

It seems that not even Prime's trailer survives the appear-for-only-one-episode curse that haunts many TF:P characters...

I really like TF:P so far and look foward to it every week, but this episode doesn't look that interesting to me. I want to see Megatron revived and the overall "Unicron's Blood" plot develop. Oh well I'll still watch it anyway.

Before Megatron can come back to life Starscream will obviously try to kill him secretly. As for the Dark-Energon, didn't Megs threw the rest of it at Cybertron to create his Legion of The Dead? Well, excluding the small part that Scarscream removed.

Yes he did throw all of the dark energon through the space bridge at cybertron. All that should be left is the piece starscream has. Anyone else find it odd that when starscream took out the shard of dark energon from megatron's chest there was no spark?

Meh, human villians, whatever. I don't typically like human characters in Transformers. With the exception of Jack, who has great character depth, so they're not interesting me right now. I just want more Prime, it's becoming my favorite series.

The Hub has provided us with a couple of promotional images from this week's episode of Transformers Prime titled "CONVOY".

Don't forget to check out the official high quality trailer from The Hub for this week's episode of Tranformers Prime "Convoy". Check out the embedded video below!

Most likely it's just the container for the "implosion device" that was mentioned. It just so happens to have an Autobot logo smacked onto the sides.

so Prime's got a trailer... incoming toy alert.

And here i thought the show couldnt get any worse, well theres now officially no chance this show can be salvaged. Never thought id say this but please give the franchise back to the japanese, at least their last 2 series were watchable, gimmicky as hell but watchable unlike prime and animated oh and bayformers.

hell ya the trailers back woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not gonna curse you out this time...no. I'm not gonna do it. Hatred has been eating me up all day long! WHY!? I'm about to explode, but you know what? No.

What in the damn hell do you want anyway!? All we see is Optimus and a trailer, and you flip out like it's the worst thing ever!

i mean it in a happy excited way dude. optimus wasnt complete without his trailer. since when do u see a semi's driving without their trailer on the roads these days. optimus is a 18 wheeler. once was a firetruck but anyways always had a trailer. even the toys always included the trailer standard. the trailer was never an option. if u real transformers fan u would understand that.

Hell yeah.
It took Hasbro so long to realize that Optimus Prime's trailer is what makes Optimus Optimus. Otherwise he's naked and just a crappy truck.
2 movies! we had to go through two crappy movies to get the glory of this trailer.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG.

I don't care what their reason is, it was uncalled for, just like Devastator's family jewels.

So for TFP I'm glad to see the trailer, I know 100% it's not permanent thing. The Trailer looks awesome here.

Visit us at our Decepticon Energon drive: come donate energon to fellow bots. cyber milk and cyber cookies r on us

priem in animated had trailer in 1 or 2 episoed that was it rid prime always i would like to 3rd party companie make trailer for prime for transformers prime toy doubt hasbro will do it

Dammit! I think there should have been a spoiler warning with the trailer thing and not shown the picture either. I would have preferred to find out by watching the episode.

I usually refrain from ragging on others' comments, but before this one elicits an even more inflammatory response, the real test is, if U a real Transformers fan, u realize none of us agree on a goddamn thing. Even within our own personal conceptions of the franchise. I'd like to see a TF toon done "right" and "serious", with all the human children replaced by the horrors of eternal war, and at the same time I'm disappointed that Animated was canceled before they had a chance to really try and break the goofy-meter by tossing in Marvel comics elements like Robot-Master, Nightbeat running around in his trenchcoat and developing some sort of gender-identity crisis, and even Japanese Spider Man taking on TFs with his Marbella/Leopardo mech. And I'd like to see the Decepticons win someday. For some reason, others here actually consider Beast Machines a legit continuation of Beast Wars and the G1 cartoon instead of wanting to see it bulk erased and forgotten like I do. And we all get along. That's the magic of REAL Transformerness.

Sorry 'bout the rant. Back on topic...wouldn't it be awesome if the human bad guys in Convoy turned out to be the Roadjammers?

I'd imagine the squishies are after whatever Optimus is transporting, making them more an annoyance than anything else. In all likelyhood, it'll be another one-episode-occurance rather than a recurring threat.

Agreed, you guys gota relax and chill out, theres a million and one different views, and a million and one REAL TF fans.
The show is not bad, but I DO want more story regarding Megatron and everything that left off with him. That said, I definitely get the same satisfaction watching PRIME that I did as a kid watching G1.
Now thats a hard thing to accomplish; These writers got to appeal to AS MANY TF fans as possible... thats a huuuuge spectrum as we all know, and they're actually doing a good job. I'm not insane over the show, but its def the highlight of my Friday.


The trailer is cool, too bad its trashed in the freaking trailer haha, waita spoil the surprise. I also don't really care if there isn't always a trailer. One of you said "how often do you see trucks without a trailer"... well, if you did see one, it doesn't make much of an impression on you and you don't take notice of it. Sounds like a pretty good disguise if you ask me.

Take a good look folks at those lines again folks because THAT is what reason and right-mindedness look like.

I think he meant the human involvement... and dorky elements of animated, prime, and the movies. I understand that side (if thats what you meant). I've never watched the japanese versions, but they seemed too... anime, haha. I like certain anime, but the jap TFs seemed to over the top... If anyone can link me to some english dubbed jap TF shows, energon or armada or whatever, i'll be happy to rethink my opinion

I know, I know, we all have our own opinions, but... the Japanese Dubbed shows were the worst thing to ever happen to Transformers! What was the quote... Oh, "We've warped into another galaxy on the outer edges of the solar system." Plus the horrid Animation, making the only expressions mouth-open, mouth-closed, and Kicker, the most annoying kid ever, the... I could go on forever.
... But of course, we all have our own opinions.

Anyways, back to the topic. It's nice to see Prime with a trailer. It does look too weird without one. I'm pretty optimistic about this show thus far, and I don't think humans will ruin it. I mean, as long as it's always not human villains...

Just a couple things...

First, most Transformers since their conception have been "Jap" Transformers.
Second, if you don't embrace "dorkiness" you fail to comprehend you still play with toys.

Cue Edith Piaf, because some need to wake up from the 4th level.

The shows meng, G1 american, animated american, beast wars american.... the shoooowwwwssssSSSS hahaha

And I own a xenomorph figure, yet the 4 movies weren't "dorky" at all, other than being about sci fi aliens. Its the hope that one day TFs might present themselves in a less childish way is all, and I tottaly understand that (not complaining coz I GET that TFs are targeted at youth). Again, if this is what buddy was really talking about when he got annoyed at the trailer, haha.

I read and interpreted your statement correctly from initial.

Meng was in that vid? i watched it twice... maybe i missed it. hm.

I just meant it as "man" said in a hispanic accent.

Nice! That trailer looks great on the new Prime

That would be awesome.

Be sure to tune into the Hub this afternoon at 6:30 Eastern/ 3:30 Pacific for the next episode of Transformers Prime, 'Convoy'. Optimus Prime gets his trailer and the Autobots take on a new human enemy! Here's a new extended promo courtesy of IGN!

Oh ... my... Primus. Its Lex Luther!

Hell yeah, Clancy Brown!!!

...also The Kurgan.

Leviathan wrote:Oh ... my... Primus. Its Lex Luther!

LOL. Well, since Smallville is getting the axe, he has to pick up work where he can.

I'm a bit more excited to see this episode now that I've seen a longer preview. Should be pretty entertaining at the very least. Honestly, I thought the series was moving kind of slow when it was just the 'Cons they were dealing with. And for those of you pissing and moaning about more humans being thrown in the mix, there's like 7 freaking billion of us on the planet. Not having human villians would just be the height of arroagnce and foolishness. It's practically a foregone conclusion that they will be there at some point so why do you folks even get your hopes up? If it happens on Earth, it's gonna have humans.
Personally, I'm curious to see what human ingenuity and tech can do to confound the TF's in this series. If anything can take something highly advanced and sophisticated and find a way to totally screw it up beyond all comprehension, it's the human race that will do it.

Autobots vs. V.E.N.O.M. !

Come on Hasbro, if we must have humans in our Transformers shows, give us Matt Trakker!

Edit: Y'all have to admit, in spite of the Matt Trakker figure we got out of the GIJoe line a while back - the Speedstars Stealth Force and Human Alliance toys would suggest that MASK characters & vehicles might be better resurrected under Transformers, where they could supplant the traditionally lame token humans, than GIJoe, where they'd be relatively redundant.

Wow! That was pretty darn interesting episode...
Prime's trailer was transformable into an open platform. (Too bad the 'Cons blew it up)

I might be wrong, but I assume that at least some of those "Self-proclaimed soldiers" got killed in the road hold-off.

The "MECH" organisation had pretty neat tech.

Was that really the first sign that Jack might have fallen for Miko? The crowd goes wild and the fandom gets a boost! Wonder how that comes out?

Something tells me this isn't the only time we see Silas. Wonder if the 'Bots are gona break the Da Vinci's code sometime?

I guess that the Vehicons are now accepting Starscream as their new master.

Silas scanned Optimus. (Will he find The Matrix?)

Autobots cargo transaction was neat.

The 'Bots displayed some serious fighting skills/styles against the Vehicons (I guess: Bumblebee-boxing, Arcee-martial arts, but not so sure about OP and Bulkie)

We learn that the Eradicons can fight, but are no match for Autobots, but they do cheat. Using tree against Optimus.

When Miko asumes that they're gonna die, She wants Bulkhead to get her guitar? That's it? She has to get her priorities right. Still a cool character though.

So Miko isn't the only one who gets sick when in a currently transforming machine/robot. Well, at least Fowler could hold it in.

Wouldn't it have been easier to cut off the locomotive and then stop the rest of the trains?

Speaking of explosion...

Too bad it blew up ironically right after we got psyched about it. Maybe Prime uses them like we use clothes, and he has foldable trailers in his closet!

EDIT; I was expecting Silas to say "We are G.I Joe!". Seriously. I actually expected him to say that.
