I have updated www.transformer-prime.com as well as its parent site www.transformertoys.co.uk with some new high-resolution stills from the first four episode of Transformers Prime.  This now means that you can find HD stills from all five parts of Darkness Rising on both websites.

You can find the image galleries easier on Transformers Prime here, here, here and here (for the sake of completeness, part 5 can be found here).

I have also updated the code behind Transformers-Prime.com so that when viewing the resource galleries, if there is more than one page of images as well as clicking on the "jump menu" to navigate between pages you can also press the CTRL key on your keyboard and then type in the number of the page you wish to view.  You have 1 second from pressing the CTRL key to complete the keystrokes though, so best not dawdle.  So to jump to the third page simply press CTRL then release that button and press the 3 key (it can be on the numeric keypad or the main keyboard it doesn't matter).

The Hub have published a preview video for today's Transformers Prime episode, Darkness Rising Part 3 which you can view below.

In a follow-up to the Transformers PrimeDarkness Rising part 1 image gallery and  review that I uploaded earlier this morning, you can now find a full review and image gallery from the 2nd episode of Transformers Prime Darkness Rising Part 2. The review can be found both on www.Transformers-Prime.com as well as on Transformers At The Moon.

I have updated Transformers-Prime.com with a full review and image gallery from the first episode of Transformers Prime.  The episode, Darkness Rising part 1, aired on Friday 26th November 2010 on The Hub and focuses on the Autobots interaction with the three main Human characters from the show (Jackson, Raf and Miko) along with the return of the Decepticons.  You can find the review here.

You can also find the review and image gallery here on Transformers At The Moon.

Seibertron.com has been sent an advanced copy of the Transformers Prime episode 1, Darkness Rising, for review purposes.  The show does not air on TV until 3 days time, November 26th, and thus far Seibertron appear to be the only site with the early copy of the episode.

Ryan describes the series as "the darker love child of Beast Wars and Transformers Movie (Live Action) without the humour".

The review containers spoilers - but if you want to read it visit Seibertron.com

The Hasbro / Discovery joint-venture known as The Hub, have issued the following press release regarding a five-day mini-series that will kick start Transformers: Prime.  

The Hub Presents Five-Day Original Mini-Series Event Showcasing Transformers: Prime

Fans of the enormously popular Transformers action-adventure entertainment franchise will revel in the upcoming television event on The Hub cable network – a five-part original mini-series, Monday-Friday, November 29 – December 3, showcasing “Transformers: Prime,” a new CGI-animated television series coming to the network. The Hub, a TV network for kids and their families, is a joint venture of Discovery Communications and Hasbro, Inc., and is available to 60 million U.S. cable and satellite households.

“Transformers: Prime” is produced for The Hub by Hasbro Studios. Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci and Jeff Kline are executive producers. Kurtzman and Orci served as executive producers of the feature films “Transformers,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “Star Trek.” Kline was also executive producer of the animated series “Jackie Chan Adventures.”

Prior to the five-day mini-series event, The Hub will spotlight “Transformers: Prime” with a Thanksgiving holiday weekend sneak preview of the mini-series and an action-packed lineup of “Transformers: Prime”-related programming that begins Friday, November 26. Kicking off the Transformers schedule is a special episode of the original series “Hubworld,” a weekly, half-hour, pop culture magazine that will be dedicated to the Transformers phenomenon, Friday, November 26 (3 p.m. ET).

“Hubworld”’s special “Transformers: Prime” episode will be followed by a half-hour behind-the-special, “Hub Exclusive: “Transformers: Prime’” (3:30 p.m. ET), which culminates with the premiere of the first two half-hour episodes (at 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET) of the “Transformers: Prime” mini-series, in which arch rivals the Autobots and Decepticons once again face-off in their epic rivalry for control of Earth. The all-new mini-series will feature iconic characters of the franchise, including Autobots Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and the ominous Decepticon Megatron, as well as introducing new human characters to the action series.

Following the “Transformers: Prime” Friday lineup of programming, The Hub will showcase the highly anticipated new series with the five-day mini-series event, Monday-Friday, November 29-December 3 (6:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. ET).
