The Hub has put out a press release with details of their shows going forward (including airing “Wizards Vs Aliens” by former Doctor Who showrunner Russel T. Davis). This naturally includes some details of Transformers Prime. Coming in Fall 2013 is the conclusion of Beast Hunters, Predacons Rising. The 90 minute TV movie is described as an epilogue to the series that wraps up the story – which to this fan sounds suspiciously like it might well deal with any last major hanging plot threads.
Also a bit of news for Rescue Bots fans – season 2 is mentioned in the release as “premiering this winter“.
Check out the full press release here. We’ve mirrored the Transformers-related portion below:
“Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising” (Hub Original Family Movie – Animated)

A 90-minute epilogue to the final season wraps up the series that chronicles the epic battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots in their mission to defend Earth and one day restore their home planet of Cybertron.

ZOOOOOMBIIIIIIIIE THREAD!
I think they will start talking about Predacons Rising at SDCC next week.

With only 3 episodes left, i hope more news about this film becomes available soon.

Predacons rising? Does it mean it will end with Decepticon winning the battle….
ISleepNow
You're right about that. They also mentioned something about extra scenes exclusive to the DVD release version as well..

Guys, I hope you know I was kidding.
Please tell me you do haha.

Can't wait!

I completely misunderstood where this fell. I thought it was between seasons. Could be interesting.
SouthtownKid
Some TF fans really have eagerly anticipated the show ending.
I can't wait to start hearing news about the next series, whatever it ends up being.
Escargon
Meh.
Autovolt 127
I'm thinking that as well.
JetFormers
Can't wait, cheers, cheers!

Wouldn't it be interesting if Predacons Rising was a lead in to Beast Wars? -lol
Sumner Sturgeon
Very original. :V
Nope
Could be the other Predacons (like Lazerback and co.) joining the show and maybe starting up whatever the new show will be.
That would be better than the entirety of the Prime show, amirite?

"A 90-minute epilogue to the final season wraps up the series"
That's what it sounds like to me.
Sumner Sturgeon
Hm…you might actually be onto something there.
It is not.
lostnfound
So is the final verdict a 13 episode season and a 90 minute movie to finish it off?
OMEGAPRIME1983
I was figuring that this would end up being just the first three episodes of BH. It's just like the first, what.. 5 episodes of season 1, Darkness Rising.

Should be interesting to see how the movie turns out. Whether or not it's story was going to be episodes, or what, it should hopefully create a nice ending to the series. Given the title, I imagine this is where the other Predacons will come into play. Predaking will probably be the only one we'll see during season three.
It's doubtful, but I wonder if we'll get any special Predacons Rising related toys.

Actualy considering the number 16 came from a VOICE ACTOR chances are that he thought the three sessions they needed for acting out the movie were extra episodes instead of a single long production.
