The Cartoon Network have updated their schedules, and it appears that Transformers Energon will be replaced in it's 6.00am weekday slot by Transformers Armada! At present, there are no Energon episodes scheduled to be shown in May.

that makes no sense at all what the heck are they thinking?

wate, do you think it will be like what they kept doing to Dragonball Z, how they kept showing the whole show over and over till they got the english version of it, if thats so, its going to take forever

if you remember they did this during armada. they put it at 6am only and just kept repeating the same episodes of armada for 2 months until they got the new english dubbed episodes of armada.

Actually, they are just reverting back to the old schedule of when they were playing Energon episodes on Saturdays at 6:30/7:30 PM and playing Armada episodes M-F 5:00/6:00 AM. They don't want to play TOO many reruns of Energon just yet... Since there have only been about 10 episodes put out so far.

Does anyone have any idea how long the run of Energon is? If it's anything like Armada, then playing it weekly really shouldn't be a problem...

Armada and Energon are the same continuity. Makes sense, really, although if they don't keep Energon in the mix to some degree, they lose out on the advertising factor.

I just really hope that they show Energon at other times besides 6 AM. i'm usually getting ready for classes by then and am too groggy to fully appreciate the crappy way the animators make the CG characters run

Possiable reasons:

1) CN has been doing a lot of re-organizing as of late they moved
Toonami to Saturday nights only now and have a new Miguzi (I think that's how it spelled) block with shows aimed I guess at
pre-teens (shows like Teen Titans and Toatally Spies) and they're
just trying to figure where Energon would best suited at.

2) Transformers: Energon has ran it's "first season" and they're
waiting for "season 2" and they just decided that since they have more Armada episodes than Energon to show Armada again.

3) The remaining episodes are not competed meaning animation and/or dubbing

4) All of the above

Anyway that's just my 2 cents.
