Machinima's next series for Titans Return and Power of the Primes

A press release from Machinima (the makers of the recent Combiner Wars mini-series web-cartoon) has revealed that they will be producing the next chapter for Titans Return.... and with that comes the big news - the third chapter, called Power of the Primes - which could actually be the first announcement of the name for the Prime Trilogy's third chapter... which Hasbro were keeping secret until it was time to properly reveal (probably at Toyfair next year).

Machinima and Hasbro announce two more Transformers Prime Wars series

Following the conclusion of Transformers: Combiner Wars, Machinima and Hasbro, Inc. have announced today that they will join forces to develop Titans Return and Power of the Primes, the final two installments of the animated Prime Wars trilogy. Since launching the trilogy’s first installment in August 2016, Transformers: Combiner Wars, has garnered more than 120 million global views on a wide variety of platforms, including go90 (United States), SkyQ (U.K.), AMC Iberia (Spain and Portugal), Sohu (China), and YouTube (rest of world).

“The global fan base has really embraced this vision of the Transformers,” said Machinima CEO Chad Gutstein, “and we are thrilled to be working closely with Hasbro developing the next two installments of the series.”
“Transformers has always been fueled by the brand’s rich, compelling characters and storylines, and Transformers: Combiner Wars tapped into that lore to offer fans a truly unique and new digital-first story for the franchise” said Stephen Davis, Chief Content Officer of Hasbro. “Following the success of the first series, we are excited to announce this continued collaboration with Machinima and believe Transformers fans will be thrilled to see the story continue to unfold.”
The first sequel, Transformers: Titans Return, will take the action of the series to new ‘heights,’ and feature return appearances from many fan-favorite Transformers characters as well as introduce new Autobots and Decepticons. Set in the period following the excitement of Transformers: Combiner Wars, the depleted forces of Cybertron and a broken Council of Worlds must now face-off against a new threat that is larger than anything that has come before.
Transformers Combiner Wars Executive Producer and Showrunner Eric Calderon is returning to oversee the development of the final two installments.

Poor Verno, his neat theory that the third part of the trilogy would be centred around a beast theme is not looking good.

This pretty much sums it up:

There are no real details announced yet so I'm still of the belief there will be some beasts in there somewhere, G1 or otherwise.

The fact two of the voting options have beast-modes (presuming the "Unknown Evil" is Deathsaurus) is a good sign for the wider line.

so, does tthis mean they'll take COmbiner Wars off of being private videos?

TBH, after watching the first two CW ones they did, and seeing comments about the rest, I'm not really looking forward to this next series.

Oh and the fact that the videos are region blocked meant I had to go to a bit of effort to see them in the first place.
