At long last, the official airdate for the third and final season of the Transformers Animated cartoon has been revealed!

This has been discovered by TFormers.com. In which they not only describe when the airdate is, but so much more:

The "Robots in Disguise" are back for a third season on Cartoon Network, starting with "TransWarped," a 90-minute special movie event on Saturday, March 14, at 8 a.m. (ET, PT). Based on the beloved 1980's toys, TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED is set on Earth in the near future in Detroit. The story begins when the alien TRANSFORMERS are thrust into a world populated by humans and automatons. As visitors to Earth, the TRANSFORMERS-OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, PROWL, BULKHEAD and RATCHET-work in the human world, interacting with the "natives" in exciting and humorous ways. Following the AUTOBOTS across the galaxy to their new home is the megalomaniacal MEGATRON and his army of ruthless DECEPTICONS, a brutal race of war-mongering robots who seek to use the ALLSPARK as their ultimate weapon of destruction!

- Saturday, March 14: "TransWarped" - As Sari and Sumdac deal with the fallout from her shocking discovery, the Autobots try to contact Cybertron to warn them of the traitor in their midst. Meanwhile, Megatron inadvertently stumbles upon a new plan to take over Cybertron, where an increasingly desperate Longarm attempts to cover his tracks.

-Saturday, March 21: "Where is Thy Sting?" - A crazed Wasp finds his way to Earth to exact his revenge on Bumblebee... but he doesn't count on the Elite Guard following him.

- Saturday, March 28 : "Five Servos of Doom" - Sentinel has incredible success capturing fugitive Decepticons, leading Prowl to suspect he's getting help.

That is cool with me that means that they had to show the premier earlier cause it is a 3 part deal.

90 minutes long means it will go off at 10:00 am cause commercials like to drag it out.

I am just going to set up I usually set up all night anyways.

Espically now that I have some kick-ass new games to play

Dragon Quest V-Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Star Ocean - The Last Hope

next month I am getting me Suikoden - Tiekreis finally a new Suikoden game after all these years to bad it is on portable and not on a next-gen console.

Well all we have to do know is just sit back and kill sometime.

I guess now pretty soon we can expect to see upcoming teasers on CN announcing it formally.

Nah, "90 minutes" usually means including the commercials. So without them, it'll probably be about as long as "Transform and Roll Out" was. Which was 90 minutes when broadcasted and (let me check my DVD real quick... got it) 68 minutes without commercials on its DVD release.

Five Servos of Doom?
Does that give anyone else a "Fire Faces of Darkness" vibe?
Animated Quintessons would be awesome, though I doubt that's what the title really means. Still, I can dream.

And they'd all be voiced by Ben Stein.

Yeah. I don't have access to TV at the moment, and I REALLY don't wanna miss season 3.

Has there been any word of TFA coming on DVD?
