TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED MOVIE
Cartoon Network has announced the Transformers Animated Movie: Transform and Roll Out! will premiere on Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).


The movie kicks off a new animated series based on the Transformers characters.

Here's how the network describes the film:

"Optimus Prime and his small crew of Autobots come into possession of the AllSpark, a powerful Cybertronian artifact that attracts the attention of their long-forgotten enemies the Decepticons and sends them crashing to a strange and distant planet known as Earth.

"Set on Earth in the near future in Detroit, the alien Transformers are thrust into a world populated by humans and automatons. As visitors to Earth, the Transformers -- Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl, Bulkhead and Rathcet-- work in the human world, interacting with the Œnatives¹ in exciting and humorous ways. Transformers Animaed has been created to showcase the heroic Autobots working together to battle the evil Decepticons and save Earth with kid-relatable plot lines filled with humor, distinctive character personalities, and dynamic action."

Yes, and as I stated, it was not clear at that time if it was true or not. So I posted this to let people know it is official.

Let's hope this means more personality and less lame, cheesy humor.

I guess I'll have to wait until Canada gets it (we don't have Cartoon Network) to check it out... or just look online later after the premiere.

I agree. At the very least this can't be cheesier than Cybertron. Cartoon Network has done some decent cartoon shoes that appeal to adults and kids. Not only will I give them the benefit of the doubt I will put what little faith I have in humanity to the belief that this show.... will at least be entertaining enough to watch. :wink:

THank goodness the majority of the guys on the pro hockey team I work with are from Canada...that means I won't be working since it is Boxing Day :-) Kick back with the TF pillows, under the TF fleece pullover and watch a new chapter in our beloved mythos unfold.
