Until Botcon, I won't believe this even a little. That's obviously just some response from a level one customer service rep.

I seriously doubt anyone got that definitive of an answer from them. I have been hounding them for years on this and just get general brush-off answers.

I hope it's not the end, you can't believe everything you hear or read.

I think the new mold figures would most likely appear as store exclusives in a couple years. Isn't that what always happens when they cancel a new mold.

by **Rodimus_Major86** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 6:59 am

They can't cancel it, they've made too much hype about some of these new toys, hell they even unveiled them at conventions. If they did cancel it I would have to come after them. And you don't wanna see that (a lot of inncent toilet paper rolls would be meaninlessly killed)

Exactly what it sounded like to me. That and Rodimus at the very least is tooled. They wouldn't let that go without trying to get a return on that in some form or other.

But it's rather believable right? We haven't seen anything from our Asian insiders in months and we're being bombarded by three toylines already. Although we did get Arcee and Ratchet a month ago, they showed up with the Asia elite way back in November. I'd atleast expect them to be getting more than just those two..

Co-sign.

Unnecessary hype from an unreliable source.

Bullf*k! I am pissed I am really f*kn pissed. :BOOM:

I would kick Hasbro's ass if there wasnt jail, laws, and they didnt make TFs. This is frekn stupid. One of their best succeses of all time is cancelled. And that is ass!

First-Aid wrote:Before everyone commits suicide (...isn't it weird? I seem to remember everyone HATING this line when it came out...) over the death of Transformers Animated, just remember that the individual lines will no longer be in existance. They are all being merged into the catch all Transformers line. Could we see these figs released in the same way as Deluxe Thrust and others? WHo knows...but let's wait and see what happens first before decrying the end of the Animated line.

I loved this line from the first prototype pics. The show is what I was worried about. But it turned out to be the greatest show EFFAR!

Stop over reacting.

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:04 am

I'm not too worried.

One of the points of the ongoing "universe" line (or whatever it is currently called) is to be able to put out product from the different incarnations of TF.

It would make a lot of sense to incorporate these already created molds into that line.

So even if TFA as a separate entity is done, that does not mean we won't see the toys at some point.

I'd say animated is getting the shaft due to the new Prime cartoon getting ready to air. If I were Hasbro, I'd want the kids attention solely on the new show and possible toy line, rather than the late Transformers Animated... Just a speculation.

the Rodimus toy would have been great though..

by **mechabooks** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:16 am

Maybe some of the rest of them will trickle down as more TRU exclusives.

Oh... I really hope this isn't true. I really wanted Roddy and Arcee. I haven't even been able to find the later anywhere in Ontario. If this is true, guess I'm just outta luck and will have to hope The jap. Animated toyline will get them. Gonna be expensive in that case though >.<

Walmarts had animated on shelves last week now they all have pulled them

Arcee's out. In an odd switch, she actually wasn't cancelled. :grin:

We better get That HorRod figure. Stop making crappy repaints and give us the new molds instead. I say we protest.

by **originaldave77** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 11:41 am

*Sigh!* I'd love to do a CG comic or even an animated web-based series on the property, but it looks like TFA is dead in North America. It looks to be more embraced in Japan, with the toy release and series being aired, as well as new video games (SEGA) to help promote and grow the brand. Who knows? Maybe new episodes and toys will come of it.

*sigh* I don't know about you guys, but from where I live Animated has already been kicked off the shelves. Now the only transformers we seem to have left are these rather ridiculous RotF Bayformers. (Well, not ALL Bayformers are ridiculous. Bludgeon had a really cool toy, but I am just talking about the majority...)
