ENI News reports that news regarding the next Transformers cartoon, and other Hasbro properties will be told at Hasbro's Investor Day event in Rhode Island, on November 5th. CEO Brian Goldner hinted that Transformers, GI Joe, and My Little Pony would all be returning to TV at some point next year, during a conference call. To read their full report click here.

Not much is known about the next Transforms series, so stay tuned to Seibertron.com for info regarding it when it comes!

Now my question is this, if this is true then how long have they been planing it? It was decided earlier this year that TFA won't be continued and now they want to make a new one for next year. Didn't TFA take like 2 to 3 years to develop?
If this in in fact something completely new it might not be all to good or long. Or they have been working on it ever since TFA was first aired, which kinda sounds pretty mean.

Standard Fandom response:

10: Complain.
20: Watch.
30: Rejoyce.
40: GO TO 10.

I'm crossing my fingers.
I'm a relatively new fan-- didn't start watching ANY Transformers until after TFA was over-- and I would love to have the chance to follow a series on TV. So, yeah, I'll watch, even if it sucks.
Hopefully they'll have less humans in this one...

i want to see a war within cartoon! if there is one next year i will shit mah pants and eat crayons. but i want to see a new cartoon soon.

Hopefully it involves Beast Wars characters or completely new characters.

Cars and trucks are getting old.

it seems odd they can pull out a new show so quickly after they decided to cancel animated. i know they could have had some early development before animated was canceled, which was still before any of season 3 even aired, but its still alot of work to cram into the time they have.
it would be what, 2 years at most if they release the new show next fall?

Eventhough I know it won't happen I would like to see the new Cartoon be darker and maybe themed towards older people. Sort of like the 80's animated movie. If they used the comics for source material and then made the show have that same sense of maturity it would be great. However at the end of the day I think Hasbro believes that the older fans are gonna buy whatever they shell out just because we're collectors and the bigger base to concentrate on are the kiddies. At the end of the day can we blame them? After all collectible is just a mature word for toy right?

No. No, no, no, no. NO!

There are only so many times they can re-hash Blackarachnia. She was ok when she popped up in BW, then she sucked as a maximal. Then she sucked harder in BM, then inm Universe as a repaint she sucked, and then in Animated she's even worse. We don't need more of that b!+c#.

Here's the most logical conclusion. They are going to skip showing transformers for the first three episodes so they can get some backstory on the humans, then the robots show up suddenly. The main action focuses around the love lives of the teenage human characters and their struggle of trying to live normal lives with giant robots wandering around shooting stuff. in around episode 22 we discover the faction names. Episode 49 would be a two part episode to introduce optimus prime and maybe two or three other members of the autobots (bumblebee and wheelie). The Decepticons are introduced but the only one that matters is Megatron because all he has are solders and minor goons that hang around for an episode and then are just background props for the autobots to shoot at. The series will end with Optimus about to finish off Megatron (now FABULOUSLY painted purple and named Galvatron) and Optimus is cut-off mid sentance when the screen turns black.

I've also got a car for sale.

Really hoping that the next series doesn't do what Animated did and wait until almost the end of Season 2 to get the toys in stores. Hopefully, they'll release the toys as soon as the show comes out. I mean, you know how little, little kids like to play along with the episode using their toys! How will little Timmy feel when he wants to reinact the first episode of Transformers: Unnamed and goes to the store, expecting to get that cool new Optimus Prime he just saw on TV, only to find an unpurchased Voyager ROTF Defender Optimus Prime sitting on that shelf?

"Mommy, where are the toys for the new Transformers: Unnamed series?"

"I don't know. How about this one here?"

*HOLDS UP ROTF SCOUT-CLASS SCATTORSHOT*

"No, Mommy, I want Optimus Prime."

"But he's $20!"

"Not that one, I want the new one! "

That's not fair!

On a sidenote, does that mean that they will be releasing the new Animated figures earlier to make room for these? If so, then when? I WANT RODIMUS MINOR AND WINGBLADE OPTIMUS PRIME!!!!!
