Cartoon Network have decided to treat Transformers: Animated viewers in the USA by airing the season 2 finale, A Bridge Too Close Parts 1 and 2, together as an hour long episode. The season 1 finale originally aired over consecutive Saturdays.
The episodes will air on Saturday 5th July, a week after the previous episode, Sari, Nobody’s Home, which is being shown this Saturday, 28th July.
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
Will obviously try and confirm these on a day-by-day basis.
All over the world, Transformers: Animated is airing, in different languages and at different stages. Dubai may have already aired the first 2 seasons, but for English viewers, we are still a few episodes behind.

The next episode will air a week later.
After Hasbro’s announcement last week that they had bought back many of the Sunbow produced episodes from TV Loonland, TVShowsonDVD have sort clarification from Hasbro on what they have bought for $7million.
In a statement, Hasbro now have the worldwide rights to everything and have only just started planning what to do with them, but a 2009 release is most likely.
Hasbro has reacquired the worldwide distribution rights to everything, including the rights to release the shows on DVD in the U.S. and Canada. The reacquisition is a result of two transactions. The first transaction is with TV-Loonland, and the second is with Sony BMG Music Entertainment, who had held a distribution license from TV-Loonland for the North American home video/DVD rights. TV-Loonland held the rights as a result of contracts that were executed a long time ago. Rhino was a sublicense of Sony BMG.
TVshowsonDVD.com have also received word that Transformers will be coming on Blu-ray on 2nd September in North America. We hope to get more confirmation on this soon.
Some new Transformers: Animated episodes are airing today for fans in Canada and the USA.

International users should look out for the torrents and YouTube links that will be up shortly after.

Derrick J. Wyatt, the Art Director and Lead Character Designer for the Transformers: Animated cartoon series, has posted a feature on the design choices made when creating the character Lockdown.
He describes how the original design was of a Frankenstein monster, made up of other Transformer parts. As the character was refined, he became less monsterous. Shown on his blog are the original and final sketches of Lockdown.
