Another new Transformers: Animated episode will be airing today in the UK. Episode 26, “Black Friday” will be on at 6:30pm on NickToons. This is the first airing of the episode in English, after the episode aired in Dubai last month.
On the trail of an escaped Autobot traitor, Bumblebee flashes back to a previous encounter with the traitor when he first met Bulkhead in Autobot Boot Camp.
You may not believe it, but despite starting 3 months after Canada and the USA, the UK will be airing new Transformers: Animated episodes this week, before their North American cousins.
Starting today, NickToons will be airing episode 25 Autobot Boot Camp at 6:30pm. It does seem that, like the first season, the 2 part finale will be delayed as repeats of season 2 will start again on Friday.
Tuesday 3rd June – 25 Autoboot Camp
Wednesday 4th June – 26 Black Friday
Thursday 5th June – 27 Sari, No One’s Home

Paramount Home Entertainment have today announced the release of the first season of Transformers: Animated on DVD in North America for 19th August.
Unfortunately, due to Paramount’s money making strategy, this will only include the episodes from “Home is where the Spark is” to “Megatron Rising Part 2”. You will have to buy the movie special separately. The set will be on 2 DVDs with English Dolby Digital audio.
In Transformers Season One, the Autobots swear to protect the ALLSPARK, their adopted new home Earth, and an 8-year old girl named Sari Sumdac, who not only becomes an honorary Autobot, but also a vital component of the team and the keeper of THE KEY, which serves an emergency power supply and healing source for the Autobots. While Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots are out fighting Earth-bound super villains and basking in their newfound superhero status, the real threat, the Decepticons, are out there regrouping, preparing to return with a vengeance and will stop at nothing to get their hands on the ALLSPARK and THE KEY.
