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.”

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.

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.

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.

Most of the stuff got removed Jan 1st, there's only a few things left, those must be what's gone on Feb 2.

That's why there still is internet where you can just watch all of that for free...I never understood why people would be like "well I can't watch my show cause it's not on netfilx" when everything is a click away. A bunch of slaves to neflix that's it.

You've missed my point (though I might not have been clear). I will only buy shows on physical media, and don't get the appeal of streaming services at all.

The appeal of streaming is that it's like watching TV but at anytime you want, any show/movie you want (if available), doesn't take up space on your DVR, and doesn't sit around collecting dust on your DVD shelf.

And if you don't like the program you streamed, you don't have to deal with it any longer, unlike a DVD you buy that turns out to be boring, lame, etc.

"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." aka Netflix wouldn't pay us the additional amount we feel we deserve, so we said "Screw your fans then."

Perhaps, but I can rip my DVDs and put them on my tablet. Also, DVDs don't stop working just because the licensor or licensee gets into a snit.

Gonna second physical media being preferable. Another plus to physical media is that it doesn't need to buffer/decline in quality if bandwith or some other internet lingo goes down. And you can actually let someone borrow it too. Oh yeah, collecting movies and TV shows is fun!

However, I occasionally stream stuff, and unfortunately not everything is available on physical media.

As we reported earlier this year, Hasbro and Netflix were unable to come to an agreement and all Hasbro shows were disappearing from Netflix's streams. We have the fantastic news that Hasbro and Netflix have struck up a deal and all Hasbro shows are staying on Netflix!

You can check out the good news on Twitter, by clicking below:

The new deal and it's details have not been released at this time, but it's good news for everyone as there's something for every generation of Transfan.

After you're done binge watching and having a marathon of great classic and new shows such as Transformers Prime, My Little Pony and Jem, come on back to the forums and chat about it!

Awesome news. I (like any die hard fan, have these on DVD, VHS or whatever, but Netflix makes it much more convenient to watch. I have missed Transformers and G.I. Joe the couple months they've been off the service.

Late night TFs are back!

Cool, but does this mean that the other Hasbro shows that were taken off a few months ago, like Beast Wars and the G.I. Joe shows will be put back? Or was it just the shows that were supposed to be leaving this week that will be staying?

They really need to fix that, or else they're gonna wind up with having season 3 listed with more than 26 episodes.

How are the episode listings for seasons 1 and 2? Are "Walk on the Wild Side", "A Virtual Disaster", and "Spellbound" in their proper placements or in broadcast order?

Haven't bothered with a single episode of this and judging by that 2 star rating it was a wise choice.

If you've got a Roku, Hasbro's own app has G1, dunno if you can get it on other devices.

I wish they'd put up (the original) RID. Other than some really horrible quality bootlegs that weren't worth the download time, I haven't been able to see that since it was first on. At least put it on DVD or something, guys.

It was released on DVD three times in the UK.

And like Will said, it's on YouTube (including the rare, original, pre-9/11 dub of episode 4).

My apologies, I thought this thread was specific to Rescue Bots. Anyway, my son is looking for the last 14 episodes of Season 3 of Rescue Bots, (Netflix added the first 14 of season 3 a few months back). Other than RB, the only other TF shows on Netflix currently are Prime, and the Prime: Predacons Rising movie.

May Daughter was thrilled to see first half of MLP S5 recently added, so I figured RB would be added around the same time, no such luck so far.

Amazon Instant Video has all of them, though, including the two episodes that were missing from season 2.

Well that didn't take long, looks like Netflix just added the remaining 14 episodes of Rescue Bots Season 3 yesterday. Now the entire run (so far) of 3 seasons spanning 78 episodes are available via their Instant watch service.

Cool.

And just the other day I found a site that has all the episodes on it as well. A site that uses YouTube for its media player. KissCartoon. It has every episode from season 1, season 2, and season 3.

Though, sadly like most places (Netflix and Amazon included), the two skipped episodes from season 2 are mistakenly placed in season 3's list.

Re: Netflix and Hasbro Not Reaching Agreement, Transformers Series Removed From Streaming Service (1716365)
Posted by o.supreme on August 7th, 2015 @ 10:44am CDT

This happens often Unfortunately. Although they were produced as part of season 2, for some reason their broadcast was delayed, so they, for all intensive purposes are now included in season 3. Hulk and the Agents of Smash had an Xmas episode that was part of season one, but for some reason did not air until midway through season two, so most sites officially show season 1 with 25 episodes, and season 2 with 27 (when it should be 26 and 26). But this isn't so bad, at least they have all the episodes online.

Fox's X-Men (1992-1997) had so many production issues, that a few episodes from season 3 were delayed by 1 or 2 years! Thus when the DVD's came out, they were in "air date order", but not chronological order. Thankfully there are fan sites that list them in chronological order, as to avoid confusion.
