RUMOR: Season three to be the end of Transformers Animated?

as much as i dont want the series to end, im not surprised. season 1 sucked, season 2 picked up a little bit. i think if season 3 delivers what we wanted, we'll get a season 4.

Da, but three seasons seems to be about the standard life span of a Transformers cartoon.

Not good news for animated fans, now, if the series is over they might try to continue the G1 continuity with a new transtech series or something, that would be cool.

Sorry for those of you who love Animated

Personally, I've really been enjoying Transformers Animated. Maybe they can do something like Ben 10 did. "Reboot" the show by jumping into the future, or change the focus from Earth to Cybertron, or at least other alien worlds.

A "reboot" would be interesting. The Alien Force reboot of Ben 10 is imho better than the orginal series. Much darker tone (and I don't mean the animation itself) but the storyline seems a bit more "serious" yet they manage to squeeze in a drop or two of humor (like his first time using Goop)

Maybe we can see some of the repaints appear in a "reboot".

At first I hated animated but I was really wrong about the seasons of animated and have enjoyed animated its been really good I hope it does go one for another season after season 3

that would really suck, i hate the cartoon but i love the figures.

It wasnt/isnt a bad show its just way to kiddy... No show has come close to Beast Wars. It took all the best of the original and made it better. Id love for a return to Beast Wars! Yeeessssss!

That would cost a fortune. I would like to see a series based on the movie but it would more likely be an animated version of the movie characters and in the tridition of all cartoons based off movies, would not fit the continuity and would be verry short lived.

If they did make a live action series they'd probly have to focus each episode on a single character for each side as I doubt they can even get the budget to do anything more than that.

I'm allso better if Animated is ending it's so Hasbro can start working of the Revenge of the Fallen toy line.

Animated ending may only be tempory though once Revenge of Fallen hype dies down we could get another season or another series following the same continuity as Animated but with a different title. Maybe they'll bring back the original Transformers Heroes title.

On a side not, if they made an entirely new series. They did make that Transformers Universe video telling the history of Generation 1 only... with badly animated versions of the Transformers Universe toys. It was listed as episode 1 "Action Blast" so that kinda sugests they intend on makeing an episode 2 allthough I don't think I could stand another episode like that. It was cool for that little video but if the whole series was like that, gawd that'd be worse than Armada.

The show sucks but i didnt think it was doing that bad. There were enough good episodes so i wonder why its getting canned. Guess its because it would interfere with the crappy movie. If thats the case they're idiots. This is what ya get when you let CN do Transformers. The keep the really crappy shows and can a some what decent one.

season 2 was good... a lot of fan service... but I realized that's all the show has going for it is fan service. Take out all the references to past TF series and it's just a cheesy, wannabe-anime kids show. The toys are ok, but I think a lot of collectors are a turned off by them (myself included, only bought a few... unlike cybertron and energon, they don't mix well with classics/universe). Season 3 looks good, albeit a little out-there.

My dream is Hasbro and IDW collaborating on a G1 reboot as an ACTUAL anime cartoon (not silly manga style). That would be the best show yet... they could even use the classics/universe characters if they wanna sell toys (maybe even rerelease a few for the kiddies and collectors who missed out). I'd just like to see IDW's art style and serious subject matter made into a show (or at least an OVA)
