    They could fight the Autobucks.

    Admit it, we all want Robots that turn into money.

    I highly doubt that "Hunt for the Decepticons" is a show. Probably just some marketing thing

    if the new show turns out to be a movie show, the only way i won't start banging my head on things is if they put bludegon in it (and no i am not movie bashing, i am just tired of the constant movie stuff, i need a refreshing break, like animated was). i'll still enjoy it though

    but can't wait to see what this "hunt the decepticon" buisiness is abount

    and since most of this fandom can't comprehend it i will post it in big black letters:

    Hunt the deceptcions is NOT the name of the show but just the marketing campain for 2010, it could mean anything

    no i ain't bashing anybody, it is just that i don't want to spend day after day correcting people cause they don't pay attention

    It would be neat to have a show where the Autobots looked like the bad guys, I mean in the movie Sideways and Demolishor are just chilling in the courtyard of that old building minding their own business.

    Obviously Demolishor had not switched into robot mode or the streets and surrounding area would have been looking very conspicuous, and they could have followed the huge grand canyon sized track to the building.

    Unnecessarily huge words are unnecessarily huge.

    I hope its a new show, to be honest, but if not, I dont care.

    I have to agree with the people saying it is a marketing thing. Kinda like "The Pursuit of Cobra" for Joe. It also fits with the new NEST subline starting next year. Everything points to a marketing ploy, and not a new series.

    And if it was a new series, it wouldn't be as good as Animated anyways.

    If this is a movie related cartoon, I will have nothing to do with it. I don't mind buying the occasional movie toy, but I am not a fan of the designs in any way and I will be voting with my money when it comes to the new series. Like everyone else though, this sounds like a new marketing thing to me. I am definitely interested to find out what this is.

    To quote the investor conference
    "Hunt for the Decepticons" is a multi-layer cross-category global promotion.

    It sounds to be more like a marketing or sublime. Probably linking up different products and not just toys. I've listened to the Hasbro Investor conference and they have not mentioned much about Transformers that we did not already know.

    The article never stated the announcement of a Transformers series, just My Little Pony.

    But what if they brought back all the people that worked on Animated for a new show?

    Speaking of Animated, where the hell is the US release of Season 3 at anyways?

    Well it could be the name of the show; they didn't say it was, or it wasn't.

    it could possibly be the name of the next show,but that name sucks, but anyways they said they couldn't state ANYTHING about the next transformer show, so it ain't the show.......so CHANGE THE THREAD TITLE IT IS INCORRECT
