What will happen to Transformers Prime if the Hub is gone?

  1. If the Hub is Gone so is Transformers Prime.

    I see it on Teletoon every sunday (unless I'm working) so it won't vanish in the night.

    What other cartoon channels does the US have? I'm sure it's not just nickelodeon and CN... is it?

    And the Movie franchise is safe, unless it airs at least once a week on the Hub.

    If the show has to jump ship my hope is for a move to Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon stuck by the Avatar the Last Airbender series so they seem like a network that is looking for great story telling in their characters. Cartoon Network not always so great in the support for the deeper cartoons.

    Plus Cartoon Network has stuck Transformers Cartoons in the dead slots before so I'd hate to see the series die because Cartoon Network couldn't give up a slot like Regular Show or Gumball.

    Of course from what I've read so far it sounds like they are attempting to save The Hub somehow instead of just writing it off as a failure because Discovery Kids wasn't exactly tearing up the ratings.

    Not sure. The new channel might look at the ratings and think it's fine the way it is, or they might want more influence, or a show adjusted to their demographic. Then Prime will get canceled, and they'll start work on something new.

    Hub's not doing too well? :( 

    Seriously hope that doesn't mean TF: Prime will be canceled, especially when it does sound like they want to make so many episodes of it. If it goes onto any other network at all, I sure hope it's not the Cartoon Network.

    So when Prime gets cancelled, how will people manage to twist that into being Michael Bay's movies fault? :lol

    "Dark of the Moon overshadowed Prime so no one watched it and Hasbro cancelled the show for underperforming!!"

    Given the options available in poll, I'd say it's better if TFP dissapears with the HUB. I wouldn't trust CN not to do somthing that ruins TFP.

    Someone already posted how this speculation with the hub not doing well was totally incorrect and how that debt report didn't relate at all to the Hubs performance. But since people only read thread titles and first posts I guess it's understandable.

    I wouldn't mind a move to Disney XD compared to cartoon network.

    That sounds too positive, it needs to be more Bay bitter!

    Seeing how Prime got all those Emmy nominations and pulled a big part of the Hub's currently poor numbers, I don't see that kind of show just going to waste. Nickelodeon is always an option (and perhaps the best option), but how fast they can haul the show to that channel might be a concern.

    They're already too busy finding ways to justify how God himself righteously stuck down Hub and Prime as retribution for wrongfully cancelling Animated.

    Well considering that TF Prime had twice as many views on it's premire then The Hub did. I'd say that TF Prime will be ok.

    But honestly I'm more worried about My Little Pony.

    I can't even describe how much I would like for that to happen.

    But I'm almost certain it won't. :(

    TF Prime is here to stay. With the announced MMO and the new toy line starting around Christmas of this year, Hasbro will find a way to extend it's life. Which I fully support!

    I think it would perform phenomenally on Cartoon Network.

    Have you seen the airing times of Transformers Energon, Cybertron and eventually Animated. 6.a.m slots.......

    If the Hub goes down, Prime could go down. However if Hasbro decideds to crawl back to Cartoon Network, we could get more seasons of Animated,

    You know what i honestly don't care either way as long as where not without a Transformers tv show.

    If CN thought TFA was such a high rated show, why did they stick it in such a crap time slot?

    Admittedly, I don't know the full details any more then you obviously don't. But, whatever did happen between these two Co, CN sure looks like anything but the victim here.
