As someone who enjoys the series, I would be disappointed. But to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised. With no release date, and pushing it back, it worries me. I do know it's done though (season 2) ans new toys are bring released, so it seems strange they would scrap it. But who knows.

The Hub has never had a cancelled Transformers series on air aside from re-runs of Animated.

...and G1 and Prime. What, is there a distinction between "cancelled" and just "ended"?PrymeStriker wrote:Bumblevivisector wrote:It's the HUB's only non-cancelled TF series at present,

..........Yes.

Being cancelled indicates that there were plans to continue the series, but the channel network ended the show because the series wasn't getting enough viewers or there were complications with continuing the show and therefore needs to end.
There's a difference between that and ending naturally, which both Prime and G1 did.

Since it takes 6-12 months to make each episode, canceling season 2 at this point - mere weeks before it airs - wouldn't make any sense. Maybe after this series, especially if the rumors are correct and the post-AoE show treads a more middle ground between Prime's (unearned) ultra-serious tone, and Rescue Bots' more lighthearted tone.

August 18, 2012, but yeah the wait time between seasons for this show has been asinine. This show is far less expensive to make than TF: Prime ever was and yet that show kept churning out seasons on a yearly basis. By comparison, this show shouldn't be taking so long to release if the production cost is so convenient.KnightStrike wrote:It is just crazy how long its been since the first season ended, I mean that was back in October 2012 right? I don't think shows taking 15+ months between seasons is ever a good sign.

That WOULD make the most sense.

The Energize part of the line was just a subline imprint like Unicron Battles, Primus Unleashed, Allspark Power, etc. I'd be surprised if the 2nd season of the show didn't feature the new molds on some level.

I bought them because, at the time, I suspected that the Energize energy hand weapons tools would be featured in the show (which seemed to be supported by that one commercial for them that used the same animation of the cartoon).Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But then that would mean I bought all those transforming Energize toys for nothing.ScoutBumblebee wrote:Seibertron wrote:I think the simplest explanation of all is most likely what's happened ... the new episodes were pushed back to time when new toys will be available at stores.

Being a subline imprint doesn't necessarily mean "filler until the next fiction comes", as Battle for the Spark, the Unicron Battles, the Powerlinx Battles, Primus Unleashed, Beast Hunters, and Predacons Rising all had toys of things that appeared in each of their respective shows.
