Front Paged and Credited.

Not good news for you UK members, though you may still get the series surely not being on CN will stuff things up big time.

Bummer to you UK fans.
I bet some kind citizens stateside will be torrenting the series weekly though, so not too much worry, right?

Why are people being really silly suddenly?

1. We are getting the toys
2. Armada, Energon and Cybertron all aired on CN in USA, but none of them aired on CN in the UK.
3. The only news here is that no channel has the broadcast rights yet OR no channel has announced that they have the rights. There is still a month until the series airs in the US so no need to panic.

looks like we'll be getting the same 10 episodes shown on loop at 7am weekdays on ITV again! Looks like I am again forced to illegally download stuff Id be just as happy watching legally if given the option.

well there is that really anoying green dragon on pop (616 and 627 on sky) thats shows the G1 cartoons series at 7pm and 10pm (plus a really cool show called super duper sumos at 2.30pm that reminds me of myself) but they could try the amimated, and sky-one might in the morning when they used to show armada cartoons a few years back

It's no big deal for me. I get all the stuff I want to watch from the net. I'm not a TV person so I'm not going to fork out for an expensive cable/satellite system when I can get it off the net for free. Not that I would pay for the system anyway. Murdoch and Branson are rich enough.

You'd think with the whole Transformers revival lately most channels would love to just have the name 'Transformers' on regardless fo the show's quality.

I live in the UK, and while many fans are bummed out by this news, I don't care. I don't like the new designs, and I hate the toys.

But that's just me. So, for those Brits who do want to watch this, you have my sympathy.

I don't like the animation style and I'm not that fond of the figures, but I'm still willing to give this a go, just like I did with Cybertron last year.

Seconded. And if it is on a stupid time, that's what video recorders are for. It's how I saw Cybertron when it was on after I had left for Uni already.

I've seen Energon and Cybertron on CN (And I live in Norway)
Hoping for Animated to still show on CN for me.
