Via Barnes and Noble, we have details of a new Young Readers book from Little Brown Books. This book is set in the current Robots in Disguise cartoon series, and is titled “The Trials of Optimus Prime”. It sounds like it is loosely based on the episode Out of Focus, with two interconnected plot threads – one featuring Bumblebee hunting down dangerous escaped Decepticons, and one featuring Optimus Prime training in the realm of the Primes – with the cover depicting Optimus and his tutor Micronus.
However, the description also teases a major character from the Transformers mythos who has yet to show up in the cartoon (or any animated show, for that matter) who may well be a figure appearing in the show’s second season. It’s not yet clear if this is a second-season spoiler, or if this character has been created specially for this book – time will tell.
The book is set for a release on 5 January, 2016 – a scant week from now. Check out the description of what is in store in this book after the break – but beware, possible spoilers lie ahead.
