Cartoon Network Becomes the Home of Hasbro Studios' Transformers: Robots In Disguise - Official Press Release

Shockwave7 wrote:Cartoon network? Pffft. That pretty much guarantees it'll only have 1.75 'seasons' worth of episodes then. TFA was a great series and they gave up on it when things were really starting to roll.

And shall we bring up 'Young Justice', 'Thundercats' and other series they ditched prematurely...?

DISNEY has just signed a deal with HASBRO to produce its new MARVEL
Toys and has renewed a deal also with HASBRO to continue making Star Wars
toys... Transformers series may now be shown on DISNEY XD instead of Cartoon Network... The Mouse House has been interested in buying HASBRO in the past anyway, so it might make sense to keep any new TF title on a Disney owned network.

"Robots in Disguise begins a brand new chapter in storytelling, filled with great humor, lots of fun adventure and animated in a cooler, lighter, brighter style that we know kids are going to really love,"

Bumblebee puts his light-hearted mettle to the test after assembling a rouge team of young Autobots action heroes.

Nowhere was it said that Decepticons in this continuity can't have beast-based altmodes. Plus, the toy for Underbite shows that his beast form is his robot mode, while his altmode is vehicular.

It's not. It's a continuation of Prime.

And Motor City. And Avengers: EMH.

According to the panel at BotCon, Season 3 airs this Fall (despite two episodes of season 2 having been skipped and still remain unaired).

Nemesis Primal wrote:And is anyone else expecting RiD and Rescue Bots to stop trying to maintain continuity with each other now that they're on separate networks?

Madeus Prime wrote:Judging by the trailer, we have a Cybertron Snarl homage and what I'd suspect to be a Rippersnapper homage. It'd be awesome if they introduced some classic characters/homages like them.

By "Cybertron Snarl homage" do you mean the Elite Guard fembot Strongarm?

The purple Con is a new guy named Underbite:

They have always screwed with every single cartoon they air. Moving times around constantly, or for most just stop airing them altogether. Look at Animated, whether you liked it or not. Be honest in answering how it felt (for those who wanted it) to buy 2 seasons, then wait what, like 5 years to get the 3rd season which only was released as a complete pack first and then later as a separate season by a completely different company. Go Shout! Factory!!!! Anyway, I'm willing to bet we get the shaft again in one of these previously mentioned asinine ways by CN. Take a company you invest in (HUB) and change it back to what it was, so you can go back to the way you did business before (CN)! What then wait a little bit, get screwed by CN again then change and go back to the HUB again! When will you learn your lesson, CN may be a "boys" channel by ratings, but there are plenty of little girls, and women in this franchise who want to see the shows too. So moving it back to a screwed up company just because it is a "boys" channel is stupid and I'd think somewhat offensive. But more offensive is if we get screwed for another 5 years just for the last season of this show.
On a different note, will it be shown on hubnetwork.com like the others have been or will it be on CN's site? or just on TV? If anyone knows yet!

65 episodes was always the plan from the get-go. Predacons Rising was made after the matter.
