The series premiere of the new animated television program: "Transformers Prime" airs at 6:30PM ET Friday, Feb. 11th on The Hub.
In this episode "Masters & Students," Optimus Prime and Bumblebee square off against Skyquake, while Starscream uses the distraction to find something far more intriguing than a fight. The new animated series will feature archrivals the Autobots and Decepticons as they once again face-off in their epic rivalry for control of Earth.
