Transformers Prime: Predacons Rising [Blu-ray]

Though in some cases a bit predictable. This takes place at the end of third season, "Transformers Prime". Optimus and the others finally leave Earth to rebuild their home once more, only to find their problems have followed them back. Shockwave and Starscream have set up shop seeking the remains of the Predacons to build an army to take the planet. Predaking has also returned for much the same reason and has managed to find at least two others that Shockwave had resurrected and has established his power over them, recruiting them to his service. Once they learn about the Predacons, the Autobots try an overture of Peace with Predaking only to be refused, because the Autobots are blamed for wiping out his race, save for two. Bumblebee did managed to tell Predaking the truth, that it was the late Megatron who engineered that incident and had the Autobots do their dirty work for them. Troubles are compounded when Unicron, once defeated on Earth. has managed to arise and return to Cybertron using Megatron's corporeal form to raise an army of the undead Predacons intending to utterly destroy Cybertron and his old enemy Primus once and for all forcing Megatron's spirit into a horrific punishment. Optimus and the others rally to fight the undead army, but it isn't until Predaking and his cohorts arrive that the alliances are formed at last as what few Decepticons also join the side of the Autobots. An ancient relic known as the All Spark proves to be the only item that can contain Unicron's spirit for all time, but, the container can only be used if Optimus fuses the All Spark with the Matrix of Leadership that he carries. Once Unicron disappears, Megatron is resurrected, only this time, he chooses peace and leaves alone. As for Optimus, his plan to release the energy of the Matrix into the planet's core means his own demise, but one that promises life for all. As for Starscream, well, the Predacons have a new target to terminate. This is one when the loose ends are tied neatly and in one last grand battle. I look forward to the next Big Bang and the next transformers universe--if there is one....

Great movie, I enjoyed this show so much, I am in my fifties now but I was in my 40s when it originally aired. I never got to tune for it in the hub as they didn't have a good schedule for it but I never forgot it. Followed it in Netflix ended it in Tubi and I was very pleased with this show, got me hooked and now I am a fan of Transformers. I can honestly say is the best show I have ever seen.

Excellent movie to collect being a transformers fan ...very good movie

I am watching it. It is pretty good.

There's no need to tell how good transformers prime is, or how good the final was (fantastic), so i'll just focus on the blu-ray and it's contents.The video quality is fantastic, very clear and vivid colors, the 5.1 audio mix is excellent.The running time is about 1 hour, i expected a little more, for being a movie and the final of the series it is a little short.the extra material is a behind the scenes on the development of the series between hasbro and polygon, it's very interesting.Overall i think the contents of the blu-ray fall on the short side, i expected more for the price. Anyways is a must have to any fan of transformers prime.

The war is over!After centuries of conflict between Optimus Prime and the Autobots against their ancient enemies, the Decepticons, their leader, "Megatron is no more!" The most merciless of the evil Decepticons has fallen, and so the brave Autobots can at last begin the task of rebuilding their war ravaged homeworld, Cybertron. But other foes await them on the planet of their birth: the war may be won but the battle to defend Cybertron continues in "Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising," the movie length adventure that brings the "Transformers Prime" animated series to its cosmic conclusion.Picking up from the climax to Season three of the television series, "Predacons Rising" opens with the Autobots taking the first steps to bringing robotic life back to Cybertron. The war weary Transformers hope that refugees of the long, bitter war that devastated Cybertron, scattered throughout the stars, upon learning of the war's end will return home and help in its restoration. But when the Autobots discover signs of life on the planet, they are confronted by new foes long thought dead and the renewed threat of the most evil of enemies, Unicron the Chaos Bringer. The Autobots must battle once more with the future of Cybertron at stake."Predacons Rising" is an almost relentlessly action-packed adventure for Team Prime and showcases these endearing characters for the last time. For this reviewer, it is an enjoyable but regrettable experience. Throughout its three television seasons, "Transformers Prime" has been a joy to watch, an epic computer generated version of a great ongoing mythos. The stories and most importantly, the characters have been engaging and entertaining and these traits are dramatically displayed again in "Predacons Rising." The movie seems to bring the "Prime" story full circle as the viewer sees a new undead army rise just as we did in the series' premiere adventure, "Darkness Rising." A subtle bit of artistry adds atmosphere to the film's drama: The movie opens during a daytime setting on Cybertron, hinting at the hope the Autobots have for their new beginning on their homeworld. But as "Predacons Rising" unfolds and its plot grows grimmer, daylight fades to a threatening night. During the film, we the audience witness the comraderie between the heroic Autobot family, the conniving of the surviving Decepticons; Starscream, Shockwave, and Knockout, the primal power of the beautifully designed Predaking, as well as the continued inspiring nobility of Optimus Prime. Regretfully there are plot elements from the TV series that the film does not resolve. This final "Prime" adventure could have been a longer length than about 70 minutes. But if there is any real fault with the film it may be the sad fact that it brings to an end a Transformers tale that seems, to this fan at least, to have come to a conclusion too soon. Like any story one comes to treasure, "Transformers Prime" is a saga this reviewer wishes didn't have to end. Still, it is worth noting that the creators of this Transformers continuity offered the fans of the show a two-fold finale; the first at the end of the TV series on Team Prime's adopted homeworld of Earth, the second on the planet they fought for so long to restore, the world of their birth, Cybertron. It is gratifying to watch a cherished television series bring its story to a worthy finale.The Blu-Ray plus DVD Combo Pack also includes a single "Behind the Scenes" feature, "A Look at Polygon Pictures," the Japanese CGI studio that collaborated with Hasbro Studios to produce the animation for the "Prime" series."Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising" is a film that is well recommended.Long live Optimus...and Team Prime!!

My son loved it

Predacosn Rising is an animated movie designed to finish up ther story started in the TF Prime tv show. Where that show took place on Earth this movie is entirely on the TF home planet of Cybertron after it's resurrection at the end of Prime. An ancient enemy is hellbent on destroying the newly returned planet, and it will take the combined effort of all Transformers to stop it. This was a really fun way to finish things off, and the movie is just as much fun as the show. All the characters you love are here, and there's even a few new ones. Bottom line is if you own all of Prime or have seen it you should see this.
