Transformers Prime Ending with Season 3
The final season begins March 22nd.
by Eric Goldman MARCH 1, 2013
The beginning of the end is here for Transformers Prime. The Hub have confirmed rumors that the series is coming to an end, announcing that the upcoming Season 3 of the animated series -- debuting Friday, March 22nd -- will be the final one for the show.
Titled Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, Season 3 will debut at 7:30pm ET on March 22nd, following a four-hour marathon (from 3:30-7:30pm) of episodes from Season 2.
As Season 3 begins, the survival of Optimus Prime is in doubt after Megatron’s destruction of the Autobot base on Earth, while the separated members of Team Prime try to reconnect after being scattered to the wind to prevent detection. This season will introduce the Predacons into the series – who, in this incarnation, are Dragon-like Transformers.

The third and final season will be comprised of 13 episodes, bringing the series to a total of 65 episodes by its conclusion. That will make it the second-longest run of any Transformers series after the original 1980s/"G1" series, which ran for 98 episodes.
New episodes will take a break a few weeks in, but starting Friday, April 19 (7:30 p.m. ET), the first four episodes of the new season will have special encore presentations that include “Autobits” — behind-the-scenes trivia with exclusive in-picture commentary designed to create an immersive viewing experience. Additional new episodes will resume in May.

The "movie" is probably a case similar to the "Darkness Rising" and "One Shall Stand" DVDs: Multi-part episodes taken from the aired-on-television cartoon edited into feature-length presentations.Autobot032 wrote:What the article didn't mention was the previously mentioned DTV movie coming out towards the end of the season.

Ah, didn't see that last part. My bad.Autobot032 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So... nothing really new then, eh?
No, not at all, aside from The Hub itself confirming it, finally. Plus how the season's going to break down, plus the "commentary" episodes.
Ya know, nothing new at all.

Bouncy X wrote:so its really only 13 episodes? what the hell is that about?
they make two 26 episode seasons and then the final one that should end things is shortened? the "65 for syndication" thing doesnt even make sense since they'd still hit that number if they did another 26. besides, outside of primetime cartoons, i dont see any other animated series air in syndication anymore...that seems like 80s/90s mentality with all the dedicated cartoon channels these days not to mention the internet.
i sincerely hope they've mapped it all out properly and it wont feel rushed or like its lacking anything.
It's what they wanted to do from the very start.Bouncy X wrote:so its really only 13 episodes? what the hell is that about?
And for good reason. Most cartoons these days aren't worth airing in syndication.Bouncy X wrote:besides, outside of primetime cartoons, i dont see any other animated series air in syndication anymore...
To be frank, they already have rushed through their plans. The three-to-four years worth of story material they had planned out wound up getting covered all the way through by the end of season 2. The Beast Hunters theme came as a late decision and was added after the fact.Bouncy X wrote:i sincerely hope they've mapped it all out properly and it wont feel rushed or like its lacking anything.
