Unless they can reach a deal with Hasbro...yes.

Oddly enough, the Predacons Rising movie still has no "expiration date" at this time. Also leaving on February 2 are MLP: Friendship is Magic, and Jem and the Holograms.

I'm on the 10th episode of season 2. I don't have time to watch more than a couple of episodes in a day, so I doubt I can finish it, unless I squeeze in a marathon somewhere.

Good thing the whole show's out on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Which reminds me, I still haven't picked up season 3 on DVD yet.

Yeah, I'm going to have to get the blurays, I really like Prime. I love that it has the original guys doing the Optimus and Megatron voices too.

Even if Optimus is boring most of the time and Megatron doesn't get interesting as a character until season 2.

Except I don't think the show is good enough for me to spend money on. I want to finish it to see how the story goes, even though I know how it ends. But if I don't, it won't be a big loss.

I don't currently own the original animated series. I only see the one set available on DVD on Amazon. Is that set the best one or is/will there be another one?

According to Yahoo News, Netflix and Hasbro failed to reach a deal... https://tv.yahoo.com/news/netflix-drop- ... 48646.html

News Credits: 6188 · Sat Jan 17, 2015 7:39 am

We have been treating it with uncertainty so far, since our first reporting of the news, but multiple Seibertronians, discussion threads, news sources and the official Hasbro Twitter account appear to confirm that the toy company and Netflix have indeed not reached an agreement for the continuation of several of their series. Relevant to our interests, Transformers: Prime, Beast Hunters, Rescue Bots and G1 will all be removed as a result - read more on this below, and head here for a full piece.

Netflix is dropping “My Little Pony” and “Transformers” from its streaming service next month after a failure to come to terms with Hasbro Studios on a new deal.

Other shows coming off on Feb. 2 are “G.I. Joe,” “Pound Puppies” and “Chuck and Friends.” Netflix began carrying Hasbro’s content in 2012.

A Netflix spokeswoman told TheWrap she couldn’t give details about the deal, but added, “Netflix has such a broad set of content that no one vendor accounts for a significant amount of viewing on a consistent basis.”

Hasbro wrote:We're committed to ensuring that ppl can access our shows anytime & anywhere. We're hopeful we can continue to offer them on Netflix in U.S.

Put them on You Tube.

Why do I get the feeling that even though Netflix seems to be coming across like the bad guy in this it is actually Hasbro that is creating the issue and is playing hardball in the negotiations? They say they are "committed to ensuring access" but at just how steep a price? The company already makes a sh**-ton of money, are they deciding now that they want to achieve the same level of avarice as Disney? It sure seems like it these days. If that is how they wish to play then I'm more than happy to say "Screw 'em" and resort to piracy until they learn a fair amount of humility.

Ive never used netflix in my life. Screw em.

Yes, the deal applies only to the streaming service, meaning you won't be able to watch it on the website.

Quite frankly I think they shouldn't cost much at all, since at heart (even though I love them) they are commercials.

I also only buy physical, but that has nothing to do with this, this is about a streaming rental service. You don't buy anything from Netflix.
