The season finale of Transformers Prime ended in quite an epic way: after surrendering the power of the Matrix to defeat Unicron, Optimus Prime lost his memory, reverting to his Orion Pax days on Cybertron.

The video catches the viewer up from last season, and shows a lot of the epic action carried over from the season finale last October. Take a look at the video embedded after the jump.

A new images has surfaced from iGear Toys that looks a whole lot like an ultimate revision and homage to the G1 Bumblebee character. The image released online show a prototype figure with a very BB-like look and the unmistakeable horns that are the signature of the G1 character. The figure looks to be heavily detailed with a lot of torso, not much beef in the legs and big feet. He's also got a pile of weapons and accessories ala the NOT Ironhide / Ratchet kits. Check out the image after the jump and share your comments till we learn more about this new iGear figure.

While the figure is not supposed to arrive until wave 2 of Transformers Prime Deluxe (Revealers/Robots In Disguise), Ben Yee has managed to snag a copy of the Deluxe Autobot Ratchet figure and has put up a review and a gallery. Boiling it down, the figure is great, Mr. Yee says, however; the toy has some minor deco issues. We have mirrored some highlights in the gallery, but be sure to read the review in full at BWTF.com.

McDonalds will be offering Transformers and My Little Pony Happy Meal toys beginning on March 9, 2012, according to Equestria Daily. The source did not know too much about the figures, except that they will most likely be new offerings. McDonalds is also going to do a huge push with these figures, according to the website. It is unknown what series the Transformers figures will be from since there are not any images available, but given that Transformers Prime's new season is starting February 18th and toys are beginning to hit stateside, do not be surprised if they are from the Prime universe.

We at Tformers completely understand you are jonesing for Transformers Prime toys stateside after seeing your friends across the pond basking in the goodness. Well, the time may come to an end soon!
