TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED MOVIE
Cartoon Network has announced the Transformers Animated Movie: Transform and Roll Out! will premiere on Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).
The movie kicks off a new animated series based on the Transformers characters.
Here's how the network describes the film:
"Optimus Prime and his small crew of Autobots come into possession of the AllSpark, a powerful Cybertronian artifact that attracts the attention of their long-forgotten enemies the Decepticons and sends them crashing to a strange and distant planet known as Earth.
"Set on Earth in the near future in Detroit, 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 Rathcet-- work in the human world, interacting with the Œnatives¹ in exciting and humorous ways. Transformers Animaed has been created to showcase the heroic Autobots working together to battle the evil Decepticons and save Earth with kid-relatable plot lines filled with humor, distinctive character personalities, and dynamic action."
We reported earlier that it was a rumor, but it is clearly not any longer.
The old story found here.
And of course, Seibertron has a gallery of Prototype Animated Bulkhead here.

Yes, and as I stated, it was not clear at that time if it was true or not. So I posted this to let people know it is official.

Let's hope this means more personality and less lame, cheesy humor.
I guess I'll have to wait until Canada gets it (we don't have Cartoon Network) to check it out... or just look online later after the premiere.

Don't count on it.
This will be FAR cheesier than G1 EVER was. Watch.

That's how I plan to watch it, as soon as I can download it.
Screw the networks.

You're probably right... but I hope it's better than RiD at least.

I agree. At the very least this can't be cheesier than Cybertron. Cartoon Network has done some decent cartoon shoes that appeal to adults and kids. Not only will I give them the benefit of the doubt I will put what little faith I have in humanity to the belief that this show.... will at least be entertaining enough to watch.
