Written by Big Bot on October 23, 2008 | Animated,DVD | Tags: , —

Good and bad news Aussie fans, Paramount are going to continue releasing Transformers: Animated on DVD in volumes in Australia, with Volumes 2 and 3 completing the first season. This is good for people who bought the first volume, but bad for most of who want full season sets.

Transformers: Animated Volume 2 – Lost and Found (R4 Australia) – 29th December 2008
Transformers: Animated Volume 3 – Megatron Rising (R4 Australia) – 15th January 2009

Be sure to keep up-to-date with out Transformers DVD section.

Written by Big Bot on October 22, 2008 | Animated,Cartoon | Tags: , , —

Confirmation is a brilliant thing. It puts needless rumours in their place. The good news today is that Transformers: Animated has officially been picked up for another 13 episodes by Cartoon Network.

Season 3 will start airing in Spring 2009, and will probably finish just before the Revenge of the Fallen premieres.

Entertainment Rights again will be selling the show rights to international broadcasters, with many already signing up for more Transformers goodness.

Derrick J. Wyatt has posted some more interesting comments to do with the Transformers: Animated universe.He discusses how because of Marty Isenberg’s involved with the cartoon, IDW comic and Animated Game coming later this month, it helps expand the Animated universe and make everything more manageable.

His last comment is of particular interest to G1 fans:

There are absolutely TONS of G1 concepts that are practically begging to be in Animated. Maybe some of them will get to.

Animated Wave 4.5 NOT Cancelled, Just Delayed

Written by Big Bot on October 7, 2008 | Animated,Hasbro,Toys | Tags: , , —

After all the worrying and Hasbro UK hate resurfacing it seems we UK fans need to take a step back (again). it seems hasbro UK haven’t been very clear with their output. Wave 4.5 of Transformers: Animated, consisting of 2x Swoop, 2x Sentinal Prime, 1x Jazz, 2x Elite Guard Bumblebee, 1x Prowl, has NOT been cancelled but will probably turn up nearer to Christmas. The reasoning behind this is likely that due to wave 4 already containing Swoop and Sentinal Prime and jazz and Prowl alreading being out, there is a need to try and avoiding flooding the stores with the same figures.

Wave 4 (Wave 4 (834621483) – 4x Swoop, 4x Sentinal Prime) should be hitting the UK later this month.

Transformers: Animated on the Verge of Cancellation in the UK?

Written by Big Bot on October 6, 2008 | Animated,Toys | Tags: , , , —

An interesting but worrying rumour here. According to one of the guys at Kapow-Toys.com, Hasbro UK could be cancelling the TOYLINE in the UK. Sellers have been told that pre-orders should not be taken for wave 4.5 or beyond as the line may be discontinued before then.

This is surprising news given the fact that Animated toys seem to be flying off the shelves for fans looking for the latest figures, but given that the toys (and cartoon) get little exposure, it could turn out to be true.
