It could be they are just renaming the show from TF:Prime to TF: Beast Hunters like Young Justice got renamed to YJ: Invasion or Justice League got renamed to JL: Unlimited

Still, I'm sort of happy they are ending this iteration.The animation models are cool, but the show overall is just crappy.

Update: Transformers Prime fans can breath a sigh of relief, Combs has clarified that there will be a at least a forth season of Transformers Prime.

We have some interesting news regarding the future of Transformers Prime out of Ep-Con 2012 where voice actors Tony Todd (Dreadwing) and Jeffrey Combs (Ratchet) were in attendance. MiraiBaby of fellow fan site TFW2005 attended a panel where Combs stated the upcoming season three would be the last for Transformers Prime:

Unfortunately this iteration of the franchise is coming to an end


He also stated he had just finished his recordings for the last episode of season three, which is slated for 16 episodes.

While this isn't official confirmation that the recently revealed Transformers Season 3 "Beast Hunters" is the overall end of Transformers Prime it's certainly all very interesting.

I suspect that Prime will end and Beast Hunters will be the new thing, continuing where Prime season 3 leaves off.

It makes sense with the new show and toyline trademarks Hasbro got. I think they're going forward with what I'd hoped (yet doubted highly) that they'd do, which is continue the story without the Bots and Cons and move away from rebooting the same cast of characters over and over again, which is what I loved about Beast Wars (the only show to explicitly be a continuation of G1, unlike every other show which creates its own continuity/universe loosely based on the original G1 concepts).

If that's where they're going, then I'm all in. I'm tired of the franchise standing still. Keep giving G1 the love with MP and Classics, but keep the main line moving forward as new generations come (and old generations, like mine get sick of seeing Optimus and Bumblebee vs Megatron and Starscream reinvented yet again for the 1000th time).

Whatever happens I hope the same standard is kept up as Prime has been excellent.

Im not so keen on Beast based Transformers toys (except the Dinobots!) so my wallet will be happy.

"Nooooooooo"-as Starscream would say.

I am unsure about this news.
I would like to see a season 4 or 5 but all good things must come to an end.

I suspect I'll be skipping a few year's worth of episodes if the successor series goes back to the dark ages of animal forms.
Beast Hunters is coming. Well played Mayans.

I respectfully disagree. If people got 'bored of the same franchise being reinvented over and over', then NO one would ever watch another Batman movie or TV show ever again. I don't hear anybody saying, 'Oh gee, Nolan put Batman against the Joker - I'm not going to go see it because Adam West and Ceaser Romero already did that'.

Fact is, reboots make truckloads of cash and are successful because people like them.

And like Hasbro is going to pass up a chance to reboot the Tformers again and make us buy yet another gazillion different bumblebee repaints? They may let it lie for a while, but they'll be back. There are tons of different Optimus figures they'll want to make.

All of this worry is premature.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.
