Today, Transformers Prime The Game launches on three Nintendo platforms; The Wii, 3DS and DS. Activision was kind enough to send along copies for the Wii and 3DS versions. So, for your viewing pleasure, we have reviews of both the Wii and 3DS versions.

The review of the Wii version was handled by yours truly. While the 3DS version was handled by our very own Deefuzz. You can check out what we had to say by checking out our respective reviews.

The battle for the fate of not just Cybertron but Earth as well rages on - everything now hangs on the ability of Optimus Prime and his Autobots to turn the tide and stop Megatron no matter the cost. Check out the new clip below - and be sure to check out the new episode on Friday! If you're feeling brave, why not kick off the Transformers Prime fun early tomorrow at 4:30 ET with the beginning of the epic Hub Transformers Prime marathon - airing all 52 episodes of the show back to back over the course of 26 hours!

For now though, let's enjoy the preview clip. Beware of possible spoilers!

Big Bad Toy Store has posted a picture of the Dark Energon Series Knock Out in package on their Facebook page. Dark Energon Knock Out has lost the paint apps on his weapon between the original promotional pictures and the final release version - hopefully that is the only paint app to disappear. Dark Energon Knock Out is looking particularly Generation 2-inspired with his translucent bright green plastic. Click on the thumbnail at left to check out the image.

You can buy Knock Out - along with the other three exclusive Deluxes in the set - through Big Bad Toy Store.

By way of online marketplace Ali Express we can relay to you that third party group MGS is going to be releasing a recolored version of their Classics Hound and Ravage weapons set. The recolor is done to match the colors of the Botcon 2010 G2 Redux Turbomaster (Scorch) with missile accessories for the Shattered Glass Ravage / Glit. No word on when the set will be released - though the auction suggests it is out there now - or how limited the production run might be.

Third party group Planet X have posted prototype pictures of their Project Genesis unofficial and unlicensed War for Cybertron Omega Supreme on Facebook. The prototype image shows the completed robot mode with LED feature in its chest. There's also a couple of size comparison images including one showing the thing grabbing the Hasbro Fall of Cybertron Bruticus combiner - this thing is going to be huge.

More news from TFSource! They have also posted an update on the Japanese Transformers Prime Arms Micron toy Darkest Megatron. The new picture they have posted from a solicit indicates that the core Megatron figure will be another reuse of the Voyager class Megatron from the mainline Prime toys. The solicit also shows that Megatron will come with three Arms Microns, (we assume) redecos of AMW-01 through 03 who combine to form the huge Dark Matter Calibre Sword.

Right now what is shown are placeholders for each toy in the set using previously released toys. What this tells us though is which Megatron toy is being repurposed by Takara-Tomy for their Darkest Megatron and which Arms Microns he comes with.

Our sponsors TFSource have dropped a bit of bombshell on Facebook with regard to the Toyworld Throttlebots, the first of which, Grind Rod, has just recently been released.

We have received confirmation from Toy World that once all the TW-T0 Figures are released, the final figure will contain all the parts to make them combine!

What will the final six Throttlebot gestalt look like? Are we going to see something like Puzzler from Go-Bots? Time will tell - but that's not going to stop us Transformers fans from speculating and looking for limb modes in each of the TW-T0 series releases as they come out!

Collider has posted a lengthy and insightful interview with Frank Welker, the voice of Generation 1 Megatron as well as the current incarnation of Megatron in Transformers Prime. Among the other topics he tackles in the course of the interview is how from his perspective the voice acting industry has changed, how he has evolved his Megatron voice in returning to the role for Transformers Prime, and his take on the recent comments made by Hugo Weaving regarding his role as the Megatron of the live-action movie series. Check it out here.

By way of the Twitter account of Bluesmobile325 we have our first look at the prototype for the Transformers GT Optimus Prime. GT Prime is a heavy remold of the Alternity Convoy design with pretty much the entire car bodywork redone to resemble the Nissan Super GT. He's also got a new head, and an extra blaster weapon. Check out our mirror of the image by clicking on the thumbnail at left.

For those interested, the website for Transformers GT is also live now.
