Update: Transformers Prime fans can breath a sigh of relief, Combs has clarified that there will be a at least a fourth season of Transformers Prime.
We have some interesting news regarding the future of Transformers Prime out of
Ep-Con 2012 where voice actors Tony Todd (Dreadwing) and Jeffrey Combs (Ratchet) were in attendance.
MiraiBaby of fellow fan site TFW2005 attended a panel where Combs stated the upcoming season three would be the last for Transformers Prime:
Unfortunately this iteration of the franchise is coming to an end
He also stated he had just finished his recordings for the last episode of season three, which is slated for 16 episodes.
While this isn't official confirmation that the
recently revealed Transformers Season 3 "Beast Hunters" is the overall end of Transformers Prime it's certainly all very interesting.
Some bigwig at Hasbro health and safety must have seen him. He has a black rubber nose cone, shoulder and tail fins, knees and.. head!
He's started to appear in the USA already so go and get him!
