Seibertron are reporting that the next Transformers cartoon will be “Transformers Heroes” and will be developed by Cartoon Network. There will be 26 episodes making up the first season

September is shaping up to be month of the year for UK Transformers fans, even better than lest years best month, May 2004 (AA2004, Atari’s Transformers game, Season 2 Part 2 DVD from Metrodome, Energon episode 1 preview airing & wave 1 of Energon toys released, wow).

Now if only Hasbro UK would surprise us with the Cybertron toys, we would have nothing to complain about until October.
I received an email today from Toonami UK explaining why they skipped episode 33. This was after Voicebox gave their explanation for the missing episode. It seems that Hasbro decided not to produce the episode. Also there is news on when they plan to air the rest of Energon in the UK. Here’s the email
Hello
Episode 33 was skipped because Hasbro, the company who distribute the show
decided to keep episode 33 back for the new series which will launch on Toonami
in March 2005.
The current series that Toonami are showing runs from episode 27-39, with the
exception of 33. They are on everyday at 4pm.Thank you for your email,
Toonami.
It is unclear whether Hasbro will move episode 33 to fit in later in the series or just leave it out all together.
Today, 7th August 2004, the Energon cartoon started airing in the UK. Instead of airing episode 1 Cybertron City, it was episode 2 Energon Stars. If you remember, episode 1 aired back May as a preview to the show. The TV listings say that episode 1 was due today, episode 2 tomorrow and episode 3 next Saturday but it is likely these are all one out. All the shows are at 10 30am on Toomani.
Here is the schedule so far
Saturday 7th August Ep 2 Energon Stars
Sunday 8th August Ep 3 Scorpinok
Saturday 14 August Ep 4 Megatron’s Sword
More to come…
