BotCon 2009: Animating Animated Panel Coverage

by Big Bot on May 30, 2009

The first panel at BotCon 2009 was on the creative process behind the Transformers: Animated show, with the subtitle, Animating Animated.

Lets start with the bad news, Transformers: Animated as a cartoon is finished! It was the first thing announced to prevent endless questions on the subject. The panel recorded all these types of questions being asked at Hasbro’s panel, which should now be even more entertaining.

Also shown were plenty of the Animated Shorts that have appeared on previous DVDs.

More details, including a full description of the creative process of the show, with pictures and videos, can be found at TFW2005 and Tformers.

UK Animated Comic being Cancelled

by Big Bot on January 6, 2009

Titan Comics have sent out letters to subscribers that their Transformers: Animated comic, exclusive to the UK, will be discontinued after issue #3, which was released last month.

Given the credit crunch, it appears to be very hard to sustain two Transformers comics in the UK. Subscriptions are being transferred to Titan’s Transformers movie comic, which is far more likely to survive.

New Transformers: Animated Sari Design

by Big Bot on January 1, 2009

The finale of Transformers: Animated season 2 revealed what had long been rumoured, that the little human known as Sari was actually a robot (in disguise). As a New Year gift, 52Toys have posted a design drawing of Sari in her new robot design for season 3.

It isn’t clear if this is extra armour, like Samurai Prowl, or her completely new design now that her human diguise isn’t needed.

Transformers: Animated season 3 is due to start airing in the Spring.
