On YTV's official site they mentioned that Transformers Animated season 3 will debut its two-part episode on March 14th at 11:00 am.

To quoteth Woody from "Toy Story", the word I'm searching for, I can't say, because there's preschool toys present.

Wonder how long until we get air date confirmations from other countries?

I don't care if we have it first or not, just that the episodes are comeing.

US date should be pretty close. They originally started on the same time frame before, but then CN got one episode behind because they ran some stupid special one weekend instead.

So let me get this straight we made Animated here in the USA not Japan this time like with previous shows such as Cybertron and others.

Yet Canada gets Animated on 1st when we are the ones who made Animated.

Over at the Wiki/Transformers page it said it would be airing on March 19th, 2009 for us that is on a Thursday.


So once again another country gets something 1st before the US does.

Also I am glad animated is finally getting some more solid info such as a return air date and what we can expect in the upcoming season.

But I am still disappointed we arent getting it 1st here in the USA when we are the ones who make the show.


But still I guess it will be uploaded onto You Tube when it 1st comes on anyways so it isnt all bad I guess.


So I guess the March 19th is the air date for us that live in the USA but it didnt state what time it would be showing in on.


March 19th Unkown Time ???? my guess 7 or 8 pm before Star Wars - The Clone Wars this will be a premier multipart episode unkown which episode will be the opener Soundwave's VR experiment or the episode being called Predacon Rising.

My guess would be Predacon Rising sounds to me like it would be a perfect episode to introduce all the new bots.

Also alot of the new Cons are homage to their beast war counterparts such as Strikka, Spittor and Cyclonus who looks like a Killer Jet Bunny.

So I guess Season 3 will be returning in March so once again I was right on guessing the air date.

Also I guessed right saying they would be 13 episodes in the upcoming season.

And just where did you see this bit of info?

I just read your post and went looking for this date on either Wiki and I see no such information.

Frackin' A! Can't wait.

One of the things you should think about when its a Wiki site is to never trust anything on it. And when was the last time you went to the site, I can't find that information anywhere, not even in a Google search.

It probably wouldn't be a Thursday evening, unless Cartoon Network plans to put it as part of their 'Har Har Thursdays' lineup.

My god Rod'06, your complete ignorance is astounding. After everything people have discussed with you about the show why do you continually feel the need to post garbage.

1) The show is made by Cartoon Network with Hasbro. Both of these are international companys. Hasbro has a Canadian division while Cartoon network works with both YTV and Teletoon in Canada.

2) The show may have offices in the US Cartoon Network offices, but the majority of the work for the show is done in Asia.

Beyond your stock "USA #1" or "WE MADE IT!!!111!" type replies can you give us one good reason why YTV should have to wait until it's shown in the States? Seeing YTV has previously shown episodes before Cartoon Network?

Also think about this. As a development partner on the show, Cartoon Network does have the right to show it first but allows YTV to do so. If you really feel this badly about it, stop wasting time posting nonsense and complain directly to the guys controlling the programming at Cartoon Network as they are the only ones with the power to change things.

Didn't we get Animated before everyone else when it first aired?

Yes we did get animated before everyone else but that dosent look like this will be the case for animated season 3.


Yes I do no that Hasbro/CN co-produced Animated, yes I do no that the company is International going all over the world not just here in the United States.


Yes we got animated 1st here in the US when it came out on December 26, 2008 with Transform & Roll Out.


What I meant was we were the ones who got animated on TV 1st before everyone else did.

Why is it everytime i post someone has some smart ass remark about something I say.

Look I gotta a little confused, so bite me.

Awwwwesome! I'm looking forward to this season, it may be the last but I'm expecting it to be the best.

Look at who you are responding to. Yes, UltraPrimal fellow Canadian, Canada had a number of the existing episodes before the US due to Cartoon Network skipping a week.

If you mean broadcast then yes but remember that Swedish Fans got the first taste of the show at NTFA Mini-Con Nov '07.

Because you repeatedly post incorrect or unsubstantiated information, sometimes even after the facts have been released. Myself and other posters have tried to help you, only to see more posts stating the same issues.

Cases in point:
A) Posting information from Transformers Wikia (teletran 1) even after a member of TFWiki posted to state they had abandoned that site and not to trust anything posted there.
B) Constantly stating the date you say Cartoon Network will start season 3, without being able to show where your information came from. Mad Props for sticking to your guns, but don't you think it would have been front-paged and credited on this site had that information been released by a credible source?

Everybody gets confused, god knows I have, but I own up when I do. So when you refuse help from people and keep digging a hole for yourself, don't blame us.

Sorry everyone by spamming this thread by responding to him, but I didn't feel right not correcting information, god knows, he's previously been given.

You people know what BITE ME !!!! I know I am not perfect like you people are.

Also when CANADA got some season 2 episodes before we did back when S.U.V. and others 1st came on we got ours the following weekend.

So that is how I came up with my release date for animated season 3, see when something comes out 1st in CANADA we get it a couple of days later in the USA.

March 14th for Canada

March 19th for USA


This is my educated guess based on facts from previous episodes when CANADA got them before we did.


Yes we did air Animated 1st we were the 1st ones to get to see the premier.

It 1st came out on CN back on December 26th 2008 with the 3prt. multipart episode movie "Transform & Roll Out.

Last Episode aired back last June or July ending with "A Bridge Too Close prts 1 & 2.

Animated has been absent for almost 10 or 11 months now.


3 DVD Box-Sets have been released bye Hasbro/CN.

Season 1 by itself.

Season 1 with Transform & Roll Out special

Season 2


Season 3 will be 13 episodes bringing the series to 42 or 43 episodes in all.

Will be all if the series concludes after Season 3.

Sorry typo on SEASON 1 AIR-DATE that was

December 27th 2007 not 08


June or July 08 was the ending of Season 2


Season 3 will begin this March or April


A year apart for each season.


Umm I wonder what the next TF-Project will be people have been talking about a Mature-IDW thing but if something like that will happen it will be a Direct-to-DVD deal.

Since Transformers is always geared up towards young kids from 5 to 12 I think the next show will be along the lines of Animated or Cybertron again but unkown what it will be called, about or what type of graphics will be used to make the new show.

Will it be done Animated style or will it be done Cybertron style or something new entirely like we got with animated.

I am happy season 3 is fixing to come on I am not worried about the future also Revenge of the Fallen is also coming soon plus we got the Watchmen and Street Fighter plus Dragonball-Evolution and the Star Trek (REBOOT)

So plenty of things to keep us occupied why we wait on TF or any future TF-Projects in the works.


Now if you will excuse me I am going to go back and play Star Ocean-The Last Hope and Dragon Quest V.

See dude, if you'd said in your first post, something like "Based on previous trends, I'd guess that Animated will probably air in the US around the 19th of March" then you wouldn't get yourself into trouble. It's just that you state things as if they're facts, when they are not. Which rightfully pisses people off.

Just trying to help out here for future.

The way you phrased your guesses about the next TF show was much better, as it is clear that they are guesses and not certain.

Canada rocks! Rodimus2006 let it go dude.

Cool it is the same date as my engagement party

I know what i'll be searching for on youtube on the 14th. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for the UK to get it. Maybe we will have what happened with season 2 and Nicktoons will finish season 3 first.

This is the last of the series, so lets hope it goes out with a climactic bang. I can hardly wait, the soon its put up on TV then put up on youtube the better ^^

The end begins...on March 14th, its been a long ride but we now come to the end of the journey Let the third series be the best of the Animated series.
