I agree with the though that Beast Hunters will pick up where Prime leaves off. Makes sense.

IF this is the end of Prime, I'll be extremely disappointed. I really like this series and was really hoping to see it continue and see where it was going. I really like the cast and will be sad to see them go but I'm not going to freak out and worry just yet. Hasbro has stated that this alligned continuity is what they're sticking with for a while so I'm pretty sure that Beast Hunters is going to be a crossing into point for the next portion, much like A/E/C had or Beast Wars & Beast Machines.
What I'm really hoping for is that Beast Hunters is going to be Prime's version of the G1 movie. After the movie, the G1 series continued but with a completely rebooted cast. I'd be ok with Prime season 3 doing this, and Prime continueing into season 4 & 5 following the cast of Ultra Magnus and Thundertron (since they have upcoming toys) as the story follows up on Exodus/Exiles type setting and introducing more characters. Then after a couple seasons of that, have it all lead back to Team Prime on Earth, with a merging of story lines for some epic conclusions and events.

Prime wasn't going to last a decade. It was going to last 5 years. The Aligned continuity family is supposed to last a decade. That's not going to change.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Hasbro's mishandling of the toyline. They aren't selling because there are too many damn Bumblbees. But like the DotM line it's because they screwed up distribution, not a lack of interest.

Please PLEASE don't let takara make the next show, We've had such a good run since that boondogle of RID/Unicron Trilogy.

If Hasbro believed in the way they handled their product, they would let it last longer.

It'll be a shame when PRIME finishes, but as they say all good things must come to an end. And those that don't end tend to become less and less of a good thing as time goes on. I only hope that Hasbro allows PRIME to end with a proper conclussion. I'll welcome whatever takes over so long as the quality remains. Perhaps the replacement series will give an insight into which characters will be appearing in Transformers 4.

That was a typo on Burn's part. He meant "Beast Hunters".
Oh ok. I wonder what that may be. Return of beast modes?

It's Season 3(or 3.5) of Transformers Prime. We speculate the introduction of the Dinobots and Star Seekers.

Well we can all breathe a sigh of relief. But remember, the same person who started the rumors is the one who debunked them haha. Obviously Prime is continueing into a season 4 but Combs has said nothing about Ratchet going forward, AND there's still the "iteration" comment he made, so there's obviously going to be a large change/shake up in the middle of season 3. And for all we know, season 3 may be 26 episodes, the 16 episode cutoff is for Combs/Ratchet ... We'll just have to wait and see, while resting comfortably knowing "the show will go on"

Whatever actually happens, I hope what comes next for Transformers cartoon-wise features better writing. Animated is still the gold star standard for writing in a Transformers product marketed to children in my eyes, even if it felt like a stop-gap cartoon because of its poor animation/low budget.
I'm hoping for something featuring writing by Barber, Roche, or Roberts, or even character designs by Roche. Nick's artstyle would translate incredibly well to a show.

That's kind of rude (but true).
But I'm surprised nobody has updated the news post. What's up with that?

Maybe no one's submitted the news or alerted any of the news staff yet.

Thought someone had told them by now. It's not a matter of great concern to me, and I'm sure someone already did.
*scrolls down*
Yep, they updated it. Nevermind.

Well, we don't yet know if it ends at four. All we know is that it doesn't end at three and there's a fourth coming. Its ending remains unknown.

I don't see Prime's run as "short" at all. At the end of Season 2 we'll have 52 episodes, same as Beast Wars, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. Since Season 3 is confirmed to have at least 16 episodes, that makes Prime the longest running series since G1.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't want Prime to end either, as it is a really good show(even if it is just a tad status quo-ey), but it has had and is having a good run.
However, episode counts don't mean squat if half of them are sub par filler episodes. Here's hoping for continued quality.

The show should end, its too inconsistent especially when transformers battle. An example of what I am talking about would be the One Shall Rise Episode and the later episode where Nemesis Prime/Silas beats the entire Autobot team. In one episode they are extremely powerful in the next they are beaten by a human in a big robot, and the reason, because he used his years of military combat experience. last time I checked the Transformers were fighting for Millions years....... We also have similar situations, with the recent Insecticon episodes.
Transformers Animated and WFC/FOC are the most interesting interpretations of Transformers that has come along in recent years. Unfortunately I would/will not miss Transformers Prime when it gets cancelled.
