Hydra of the Allspark has posted up some more information on the plot of Transformers Go! The series is being set up as a sequel to Beast Hunters’ main plotline (though how much it will reflect the actual ending is anyone’s guess). The base premise is that Predaking / Dragotron has been defeated and the majority of the bad guys have fled into space, prompting Team Prime to pursue – but there are still some scattered enemies on Earth, so Optimus Prime entrusts the mission of hunting them down to six Autobots…
It very much reflects many “sequel / side story” plots told over the years, both in Transformers and elsewhere. How much it will fit with established continuity is anyone’s guess.
Hydra’s full post can be viewed at the link above, or reproduced after the jump for convenience. Caution – the post references how Predaking is defeated in the backstory which may in turn spoil part of the ending of the series. The magazine spread for Go! said that Optimus and co. had sealed Predaking away inside the Earth using the artfact known as the “Legendisk,” and left Earth to hunt down other Predacons who had spread throughout the galaxy. They entrusted the duty of hunting down the scattering of Predacons still on Earth to a team of six Autobots…

Wow,the design for the combined bot seems cool. Totally agree that the new Samurai/Ninja bots is going to be similar to this Anime.
Galvatron II
Takara re-wrote and edited Darkest Hour to be a proper send off to Prime. They dropped the ball on getting Beast Hunters, this is what they're getting instead. So I guess all that's left to say is… AMERICA, F*CK YEAH!
RedWolf
They are looking at the listing.
G09 Evil Demon Combination Goradora set ¥4.000
Now if they'll appear in the OVA that is the question.
Autovolt 127
That wouldn't be a bad use for him. Assuming Takara has plan on releasing Abominus under the Go! banner.
RedWolf
Something occurred to me. Since it is very unlikely that Abominus and his components are to appear in Beast Hunters even for the epilogue movie I believe this could be the perfect medium for Abominus Predacons to appear.
For a Combiner vs Combiner theme.

I think GO! anime is going to be like this…

We still don't know if Hasbro will bring this over or not. For all we know, this could be Car Robots all over again – the diff being since this is an OVA set up, mostly likely packed in DVDs with the toys.
Stepper
Story plot is like the King Vampire is being sealed,now looking to find the rest to kill them all.
Feralstorm
So based on the magazine photo, Predaking is defeated by Generations Buzzsaw?
Burnout
man i wish we could get this over here… it feels like hasbro just abandoned this series…….and just liek g1 the japanese make a continuation which we will not see (in english) over here. Way to once again drop the ball hasbro.
RedWolf
Reminds me Brave Exkaiser. Combiner TF vs lizard beast formers.
In this case dragons instead of dinosaurs.
Oh it would be an interesting reference to Prime if one of the human characters is related to Miko. Either a childhood friend or a brother or cousin.
gokuz23
Hmm sounds pretty cool lol

They most likely stumble upon the Transformers who keep them around, just like nearly every TF series.
Scantron
But how does the kid who looks like a Pokemon trainer, or the kid who looks like a refuge from Naruto, fit into this?
orangeitis
Could be a fun watch.
Fallout
sounds, uh… interesting. need more info.
Murasame
free?
soundwaverulls
This really does sound like something written as a toy add. So I probably won't even be interested in a version with subtitles. I guess it could still be a laugh.
Autovolt 127
I'm worried they spoiled the whole ending for us.

So will the whole arc about sealing Predaking in the Earth then leaving the planet be near the end of Season 3 I take it? If so the it would lead into the BH movie which may take place on Cybertron.
Come to think of it now I can see how the TFP Beast Hunters ongoing comic fits into this.
