There were only 3 extras:

- Making of TFPrime.
Talks a little about the creation of the series, but mostly has many of the Voice Actors talking about Transformers and TFPrime.

- The toys.
This was the more interesting bonus feature, as it talks about the characters in the cartoon... not really about the toys. From the people at Hasbro and cartoon producers, we learn that Ironhide was originally intended to be part of the main Autobot cast, but when they found out about his death in TF3, they swapped him out for Bulkhead, to prevent confusion from kids who might think it was the same character (musta been a really late change, as TFPrime was being developed early to mid-2010, so Ironhide's death in TF3 would have been something decided really early).
Plus, when deciding on a big bulky, brutish Decepticon, they were planning to use Lugnut, but later decided that they had too many aerial-mode Decepticons, and Lugnut had to have a flight mode, so they swapped him out with Breakdown.

- Season 2 Teaser.
This was just the short 5 second clip of Optimus/Orion getting his Decepticon "tattoo".

On a side note, I stumbled across this tonight (Aligned Continuity), which might shed some light on the past and future of TFPrime... or at least, how everything currently is loosely linked together in some way. It is the "long term story strategy" that the Hasbro people had mentioned in the last 3 or 4 BotCons.
very interesting
