Yup. Too bad the writers are impotent at their job. Any of the universes have a lot of potential when it remains unexplored, and most of the episodes consist of 3-4 main characters finding some Cybertronian MacGuffins on Earth - I wonder when the autobots will find Cybertron itself on the top of a mountain...

LOL! I don't think the other cartoons have more potential. I think the only other good TF cartoon is Beast Wars and that ended nicely (if you don't continue with Beast Machines).

If you ever read about the material for the unproduced season 4 of Animated, you'd know just how much potential that show had (and frankly still has).

Getting back to the subject at hand:

People, these are contradictory panel snippets, taken out of context. By "iteration" and "16 episodes," taken along with "Beast Hunters," most likely all that means is that there will be 16 episodes of "Prime" in season 3 until it gets relabeled "Beast Hunters." Chill. There's no crisis, here. If I remember correctly, the current continuity has a 5-season creative bible already written, with outlines for further continuation beyond that. HASBRO demanded that creative bible before the series was even green-lit. And let's not forget that Hasbro considers the current, very successful game series to be a part of this continuity (albeit forcibly, at times), as well as novels, comics, and other media. You're reacting to essentially zero confirmed information. Let's keep that in mind.

That's practically dead by now?

What? It's an outline for the whole continuity (Exodus, WFC, FoC, Exiles, Prime, and Rescue Bots). Hardly just outlining 5 seasons for Prime.

Well, there you go, man. I knew it was massively laid out. Just couldn't remember the specifics. My point was more precisely referring to how far in advance they had plotted Prime. Which I thought was 5 seasons. Either way, it furthers the point that with rights being solely in Hasbro's hands this time around, and having made such a massive investment, it's pretty asinine to go so far with conjecture on this subject.

Prime is supposed to last 5 years (only half of the decade-long Aligned family). Whether that means 5 seasons or more seasons is anybody's guess.

Well, in regards to the TF: Prime story itself, the bible does have at least four seasons worth of story laid out for the cartoon to adapt.

Yep. We're set for 4 seasons so far, but if were getting any more is up for debate.

Who said everyone was turning into beasts? Beast Hunters most likely means they'll have new beast subgroups. Don't expect everyone to reformat. Also, How does reformatting everyone into beasts tie in with how they're robots in disguise? They won't be going out often.

Even if Prime turns to Primal, they don't need to come up with original alts, silly.

And the animation style is CGI. Not anime or "3D."

The only thing I'd like would be to sack Kurtzman and Orci as writers. When Gaia Unicorn turned out to actually be the Earth that was it for me. What a load of rubbish. I don't mind the designs etc of Prime, but the writing/storyline is terrible just like everything else they touch.
