CGI may improve, but if the second and third seasons of Beast Wars are any example, Prime's animation should age with elegance.

If featured (and I hope the old characters from Prime are), Magnus would probably retake command of the Wreckers (at this point, Wheeljack and Bulkhead). Arcee in charge of her own team would be interesting to see; so would seeing how Predaking and his two Predacons are doing.

About Hasbro Studios
Hasbro Studios is the Los Angeles-based entertainment division of Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS). The studio is responsible for entertainment brand-driven storytelling for the company across television, film, commercial productions and short-form. It develops, produces and distributes TV shows based on Hasbro's world class brands, including TRANSFORMERS, MY LITTLE PONY, LITTLEST PET SHOP and FAMILY GAME NIGHT. Many of these shows air on Hub Network, a U.S. television network for kids and their families, that is a joint venture between Hasbro and Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK). Hasbro Studios shows can also be seen on networks in more than 180 countries globally. Since its formation in 2009, the studio has received seven Daytime Emmy wins and 16 nominations. On the film side, the studio is developing and producing a number of features based on Hasbro's brands, including TRANSFORMERS 4 (Paramount), G.I. JOE 3 (Paramount) and Ouiji (Universal Pictures). The studio team also oversees the production of commercials that feature Hasbro's brands as well production of short-form content that can be seen on all of the major digital and social media platforms globally.
“Transformers: Robots in Disguise” will be the name of Hasbro’s new animated series starring its shape-shifting characters.
The Hasbro Studios-produced series, which will bow on The Hub kids channel in spring 2015, will feature the voices of Darren Criss (“Glee”), Constance Zimmer (“House of Cards”), Mitchell Whitfield (“TMNT”) and Ted McGinley (“Married with Children”).
Hasbro is revealing new details of the project, first announced in March, as the company is about to head to the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. Event takes place June 17-19 from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Hasbro has long seen animated series as a way to keep and grow a young fanbase around its Transformers outside of the megaplex and fuel interest in a merchandise program beyond just action figures.
Series will introduce a redesign of Bumblebee and introduce new Autobot characters Sideswipe and Fixit (see above).
Criss will voice Sideswipe, while Whitfield will bring Fixit to life.
Show takes place years after “Transformers Prime,” when Bumblebee is summoned to save Earth from a new faction of Decepticons and assembles a rogue team of young Autobots that includes a rebel bad boy bot, an elite guard cadet, a bombastic Dinobot and hyperactive Mini-Con to capture their new enemies.
Each new bot is a fully capable action hero but inexperienced in working together in a team, forcing Bumblebee to become both squad leader and coach, Hasbro said.
“Robots in Disguise’s” creative team includes kids programming vets Jeff Kline (“Transformers Prime”) as executive producer; producer Adam Beechen (“The Adventures of Chuck and Friends”); and Steven Melching, a writer on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” who will serve as the show’s story editor.
“Transformers” is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Paramount releases “Transformers: Age of Extinction” on June 27.

You know what else has been said to be true by the creators? That they consider Alpha Trion to be "long since dead" by the time of the Prime cartoon's setting. However, unless the guy knows how to write stuff down in the living world from beyond the grave, he would have had to have been alive in the present day to transcribe the lengthy "Earthfall" chapter in the Covenant of Primus, since he can't write about future events that haven't happened yet.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Nor is there a reason to accept them.

"Because the creators said so" is a perfectly valid reason to accept them. You understand a lot of what we know about Lord of the Rings came from things Tolkien said outside the books? Same logic applies here. Just because they didn't say it on the show, doesn't make it false.

There's also Derrick J. Wyatt's infamous claim of there being no Primus and Unicron existing in the world of Transformers Animated, despite various Club fiction and the AllSpark Alamancs placing it in the established Transformers multiverse (specifically in the Malgus cluster) in which Primus exists in all universes whether each world's inhabitants know of him or not.
The fiction itself takes highest precedence. If Starscream shows up in RID as still being alive, then their word on his being dead is not law. If if doesn't show up, and the show doesn't contradict what they say, then oh well.
