It's Official: Animated Show Ends
From Allspark.com
Our first news from Botcon is a real tearjerker. Hasbro has announced, to the dismay of fans everywhere, that Transformers: Animated has come to an end. The adventures of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Prowl and Sari have finished. Say your farewell to Animated on the Allspark Forums .
Goodbye, Animated. We shall miss you.
tfw2005.com has a short description of the panel, and Tformers.com has some video up of the conference.
Well, we all knew it was coming. All I can add is so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Can't say I'm overly surprised. Hopefully the remaining toys can show up in universe or something after the movie. Although "Animated will not continue beyond season 3 in animation" indicates they may be pretty interested to continue it in some form. Even if it's just toys.

If it continues at all, it will probably in comic form. The toyline will probably die with the show. I notice that the rumored new mold's--Arcee, Blackout, Rodimus Prime--are not on display at BotCon.Gouki wrote:Can't say I'm overly surprised.

I still think beastwars was even better than BM IMOBlackjack wrote:This was coming sooner or later, and I'm not surprised. Animated had seen a well-recepted run, and it will be missed. To think that the best show after, like Beast Machiness (a show with actual characterizatioÑ)

The entire series had less episodes than one UT show/season.Transformer Kamen wrote:Numerically, it had roughly the same amount of episodes, just oddly spaced. Seasons 1 and 2 ran back to back, and there were around six months or so until Season 3 started.

All of the UT series had 52 episodes because they were produced in Japan which never does reruns. They need to have a new episode for every week in the year.Transformer Kamen wrote:Eh. Each series in the Unicron Trilogy had 52 episodes. Animated had 42. Beast wars had 52; BM 26, and RiD 39, with the original killing the average with 98. I'd say Animated did pretty well numerically.
And each series was, for all intents a purposes a new season due to the way anime is aired. So yeah.Transformer Kamen wrote:Eh. Each series in the Unicron Trilogy had 52 episodes. Animated had 42.

This was the most enjoyable TF series we've had in a long time, IMO. I hate seeing it go. But, if what was announced is true, that their planned upcoming series will be of Animated's quality, I look forward to it.
Got a complaint?
