Additionally, Marty Isenberg, the writer for Transformers Animated, has been asked to leave his office at Cartoon Network.
Now on Derrick Wyatt’s blog, he too was asked if season three would be it for Animated. He responded:
“Sorry, I can‘t comment on this.”
Which could imply that he cannot say the rumor is false…

as much as i dont want the series to end, im not surprised. season 1 sucked, season 2 picked up a little bit. i think if season 3 delivers what we wanted, we'll get a season 4.

It would make sense for Hasbro to cancel the show, and relaunch another new show. That's the best way for them to sell new toys. Personally, I've really been enjoying Transformers Animated. Maybe they can do something like Ben 10 did. "Reboot" the show by jumping into the future, or change the focus from Earth to Cybertron, or at least other alien worlds.

Da, but three seasons seems to be about the standard life span of a Transformers cartoon.

Well seeing it is just Rumor at this time, then hopefull people won't go half cocked and make things worse.
but i highly doubt that.
It always amazes me how people, always take an "I Can't comment" statement as proof. There are a number of reasons he may not be able to comment, and not all of them need to be bad news.

Not good news for animated fans, now, if the series is over they might try to continue the G1 continuity with a new transtech series or something, that would be cool.
Sorry for those of you who love Animated

Be a shame if it turns out to be true, but it's only a rumor. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed, I've really enjoyed Animated.

A "reboot" would be interesting. The Alien Force reboot of Ben 10 is imho better than the orginal series. Much darker tone (and I don't mean the animation itself) but the storyline seems a bit more "serious" yet they manage to squeeze in a drop or two of humor (like his first time using Goop)
Maybe we can see some of the repaints appear in a "reboot".

Dont know wat all the fuss is about. The 3rd season dont even have a start date let along worried about the rumors of it 2 end after that 2 b taking to seriously right now
I look at it like this....
Animated continue after the 3rd season giving us fans more updating look of characters thru out the transformers universe...
OR
Stop at season 3 b4 the show get 2 corny and jus introduce a fresh new series....said like ...i dont know....the "TransTechs" or sumthing like that so we can get sum fresh new lookin characters.
Either way as long as there more transformers in the future.....I really dont care....jus my 2 cents

It wasnt/isnt a bad show its just way to kiddy... No show has come close to Beast Wars. It took all the best of the original and made it better. Id love for a return to Beast Wars! Yeeessssss!

That would cost a fortune. I would like to see a series based on the movie but it would more likely be an animated version of the movie characters and in the tridition of all cartoons based off movies, would not fit the continuity and would be verry short lived.
If they did make a live action series they'd probly have to focus each episode on a single character for each side as I doubt they can even get the budget to do anything more than that.
I'm allso better if Animated is ending it's so Hasbro can start working of the Revenge of the Fallen toy line.
Animated ending may only be tempory though once Revenge of Fallen hype dies down we could get another season or another series following the same continuity as Animated but with a different title. Maybe they'll bring back the original Transformers Heroes title.
On a side not, if they made an entirely new series. They did make that Transformers Universe video telling the history of Generation 1 only... with badly animated versions of the Transformers Universe toys. It was listed as episode 1 "Action Blast" so that kinda sugests they intend on makeing an episode 2 allthough I don't think I could stand another episode like that. It was cool for that little video but if the whole series was like that, gawd that'd be worse than Armada.

I heard the whole rumor spiraled out from the fact that CN asked Isenberg to leave his office, and somebody exaggerated it to the point that TFA will be discontinued.

The show sucks but i didnt think it was doing that bad. There were enough good episodes so i wonder why its getting canned. Guess its because it would interfere with the crappy movie. If thats the case they're idiots. This is what ya get when you let CN do Transformers. The keep the really crappy shows and can a some what decent one.

This alone can mean a few things.
- The show may be cancelled
- Season 3 is basicly done, S4 won't start production for a while and they need the office for a show currently in production.
- A restucturing at CN
- Marty could even get pulled from the production as Hasbro is worried he is more concerned about the fans then selling toys.
It could one of those or any of a number of things that could be speculated about.

season 2 was good... a lot of fan service... but I realized that's all the show has going for it is fan service. Take out all the references to past TF series and it's just a cheesy, wannabe-anime kids show. The toys are ok, but I think a lot of collectors are a turned off by them (myself included, only bought a few... unlike cybertron and energon, they don't mix well with classics/universe). Season 3 looks good, albeit a little out-there.
My dream is Hasbro and IDW collaborating on a G1 reboot as an ACTUAL anime cartoon (not silly manga style). That would be the best show yet... they could even use the classics/universe characters if they wanna sell toys (maybe even rerelease a few for the kiddies and collectors who missed out). I'd just like to see IDW's art style and serious subject matter made into a show (or at least an OVA)
