Tomorrow at 8AM, the 3rd season premiere of Transformers Animated airs, showing 3 of the 12 episodes that will end the series.
I sad.
This show was a transformer fan's dream come true. great characters, a nice dynamic art style totally different from everything that came before, decepticons who are actually a threat instead of causing a minor problem and running away at the end of the episode.
it's a show made by a real transformer fan too. Derrick Wyatt (best known for teen titans) has been a transformer fan for a loooooong time, and has been throwing wonderful bits of fanservice through the episodes.
examples:
they cast Wierd Al as Wreck-Gar, and even had him reference "dare to be stupid" in his dialogue. he even threw his old toy at bumblebee.
Judd Nelson is back voicing Rodimus in season 3.
John Moschitta was recast as Blurr. he's the fast-talking man from the micro machine commercials.
We got Corey Burton as Shockwave again.
Spongebob Squarepants has done an AMAZING job with Starscream.
in this season 3 promo image, we see both hot shot (from armada) and metroplex, the autobot city from G1.
In this season 3 image, we see Mainframe, an obscure Action Master from G1 in the top part, and Cyclonus from G1 in the bottom right.
he's giving us Soundwave redecoed like the japanese exclusive Soundblaster, but with a keytar that turns into Ratbat.
Sari dressed up as G1 Optimus Prime for halloween.
simply put, there was a lot of love put into this show and toyline. but the highest of higher-ups at hasbro are canning it to focus only on the movie for the forseeable future.
a movie line that has maybe 4 toys the fandom is excited about, and a whole lot that the fandom is extremely ANGRY about (hello, terrible devastator)
I'm gonna miss it.
I'm not really excited about the upcoming movie or it's toys at all. all because I know my favorite transformer series of all time is being ended in favor of it.
