Transformers Prime "Stronger, Faster" Receives US Air Date

El Duque wrote:Transformers Prime episode #22, "Stronger, Faster" has received a US air date. MSN TV has the episode scheduled for the Hub on September 17th, or one week after episode #21, "T.M.I."

This episode aired on Canada's Teletoon on August 14th, and can be viewed on their website by clicking here.

Ratchet injects himself with synthetic Energon and becomes a menace to everyone.

Honestly, I don't know what Hasbro/The Hub was thinking… Full streaming episodes on Teletoon. YouTube. Torrents. A whole freakin' month behind everyone esle on their own product.

It's actually quite an easy decision by Hasbro. This way all the kids will be back on the school/afternoon cartoons schedule which means a captive market. If they had already shown all the new eps on their channel (btw, most Americans don't get Teletoon) then the kids would say "repeat, boring" and go to a different channel.

But I think they're underestimating the fact that most American kids in households that get their network also *get* the internet… probably moreso than Hasbro *gets* it. Also judging by most country-wide Facebooks posts I've been seeing a lot of schools started last week and locally school starts next week. When I was a kid school always started AFTER Labor Day, but I don't think that's the standard anymore… buy I'm often wrong.

School's already started in the US? Up here in Canada it doesn't start until after Labour Day. I had assumed a similar schedule, which is what I used to base my argument. I still stand by my reasonings of a captive audience, but I suppose hasbro could have started them a week or two earlier. Maybe they're scheduled this way to flow into season 2?

School started about two weeks ago around here.

Watched this on Youtube last night and thought it was awesome.

I think the Synthetic Energon was meant to be this show's answer to the artificial energon that shows like G1 had produced from other energy resources, as opposed to the naturally-occurring energon seen in such series as Beast Wars and TF: Energon.

Made me think of the Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight "Venom" story arc, but I suppose we all have our own reference points…
