lol most ridiculous statement evar! There's a whole multi-million dollar industry that says you're wrong! Plus like others have said UK TV is very different to US TV and the UK populous is considerably smaller making the audience of Nicktoons even smaller as a consequence of it being a premium channel, a not particularly popular one at that. Most people that have Nicktoons only have it cos they pay top wack for the premium movie and sports channels and I'd be surprised if half of them even realize they have the channel.

I have been keeping quiet on this since seeing it posted earlier but the anger has to come out at some point and this seems like as good a place as any.

What the bloody hell do Hasbro UK think they are doing?

If this is true, and without official word on the rumour being forthcoming we can only assume it is, it would be a massive mistake.

Sure, the show has been shown on such a small scale channel that it hasn't had the exposure it should. And yes, neither the show nor the figures have been promoted very well, but surely the potential is there to fix that now, before considering cancellation?

For me, the animated show and figures are the best thing to happen to transformers since G1 was cancelled back in the day. It is the only line I have actively sought and I hoped to continue doing so until I had the entire line. Sadly this looks like it may be near impossible to walk into a local store and pick up a figure soon.

Maybe in future they should think about showing their shows on the internet instead of television as most young people are more likely to be online than watching TV these days. Its ironic that I can watch BBC3 shows on my mobile phone in the UK, but I do not have the ability to watch animated on TV and instead have to watch it on youtube.

Hasbro UK... you have failed once again.

Hasbro UK = EPIC FAIL - AGAIN.



Can't post my original thoughts, or I'd probably be perma-banned for life.

Off to the 'What would you ask Hasbro Q&A' thread, methinks.

would anyone care if Animated got cancelled all together? its one of the poorest lines since Beast Machines! the show is doing seriously bad and the toys just ANIT selling! theres a reason for this 1) the show is shit 2)the animation is shit 3) the story/plot is shit 4)the toys are shit

I mean lets be serious why would i buy crap toys who all have faces that look like they have been raped by gravity! why would i buy that when i can by such things from Takara such as MP Thundercracker/Henkei and many other things.

I just hope Hasbro learn there lesson this time with Animated and start working with Takara when making a Transformers show instead of thinking there smart arses and trying to copy the awful aimation of Star Wars 'The CloneWars' which alsohad shit animation and sold extremely poorly as well because of that fact! Shit Animation puts ALOT of people off watching a show

If everyone who's posted in this thread uses their combined mental powers, we could possibly do that.

Bottom Out, you can sit this one out though.

The question I ask myself is when will you stop posting utter fud like this in every single post?

Gosh, it really boils my bacon.
