So head storyboard artist Bryan Baugh has said that tomorrow starts the holiday down-time period before they get started on season 3 of Prime.

I figure someone would have reported this eventually, but I'd like to ask the staff not to front-page it, because really, how would this be surprising to anyone? Now confirmation of a *fifth* season, that'd be a slight shocker, but a third? Come on.

 

Link?

 

I thought i heard the 3rd season online somewere ! But not more! Not a 4th or 5th season of tfp! But the season 3 is planning! I saw it on this site but i dont know the video! I know for the fact that is true! Or was it at botcon2011 or nycc or sdcc2011! One of those vids! It says in the videos that there thinking of season3 right now!!!

 

Regardless, it's pretty bad form to outright claim something, not give any sort of actual source, and then tell us not to front page it. What's the point in even making the thread if you aren't going to provide any sort of validity to your claims?

As it stands currently, don't be surprised if this thread gets locked.

 

Well that is just Awesome! Now all we need to do is watch season 2 and we're caught up    

Edit: Seriously, we don't know when exactly Season 2 is gonna air and they've been renewed for a third season?

We DO know Season 2 is coming in Early 2012. We just don't have an exact date.

 

Sweet.

 

That's what I meant.

Ah neat

 

Thought a Hasbro Q&A last month said that Season 2 wouldn't starting til late Jan/early Feb, rather than Nov 2011, I do believe. Sadly am at work, so can't scan the earleir threads.

 

This is great news!  I'm glad it has a third season up ahead! It's a good sign so far and no mistake! 

 

So it seems at minimum we're getting an equal season count as Animated, G1 and Beast Wars. I can live with that. I would love to have 6 or more seasons (assuming they stay as quality as we have now) but if it dies after 3 then I'll be happy with what we got.

 

i wait see head masters , targetmasters , power masters in tfp s3

 

Although note that Animated was three 13-episode seasons (plus the 3-episode pilot, for 42 eps total), and Beast Wars was, IIRC, 13-26-13, so Prime matches or eclipses them in episode count with two seasons alone.

 

Actually Beast Wars was 26-13-13. Sorry.

Why apologize?

 

They're already planning for season 3? Awesome!

 

If and when Prime hits season 4 it will be the longest running TF series in TF history.

I approve.

 

Season 2 is likely almost done with production.

In behind the scenes footage, aired a month or so before the first episode aired on the Hub, Frank Welker was shown recording dialogue from the finale of the season. Which means they were working on the finale nearly a year before it aired. With that kind of timetable and assuming they didn't take any extended hiatus's in production, season 2 is probably almost done.

 

One more season and it'll eclipse G1's episode count. 3 more seasons to go if they want to outdo the cumulative total of Unicron Trilogy episodes though. I think they'll do it.
