Hasbro Studios attended the NATPE Conference in Miami (January 20th – 22nd) and highlighted the plans for their TV Programs. Among the list of TV Shows was Transformers: Robots In Disguise and Transformers: Rescue Bots. Hasbro Studios mainly focused on the US, Latin American and European segments and gave a vague idea as to when we will see the upcoming Transformers Animated Series.
We have with us the statement made and the poster from the conference.
Hasbro Studios stated that it is focusing its sales efforts on its four franchise titles: Littlest Pet Shop, Transformers Rescue Bots, My Little Pony and the soon-to-launch Transformers Robots in Disguise. “All of our franchise titles are being exhibited globally, with the exception of Robots in Disguise, which will launch in a few months on Cartoon Network in the U.S., Latin America and Europe,” says Gustavo Gomez, the company’s sales director for Latin America. “Our priority is to work with our partners to keep our audience engaged in our content through all possible platforms,” Gomez notes.Considering all the facts and rumors, we can’t state and exact release date for the series in US, Latin America and Europe. But we can speculate that the series will air in the April or May timeframe. If the series is aired earlier than that it would certainly be a treat for the fans.

I remember how people said I was bluffing when I told the March 7 premiere date.
Well, the date is confirmed for UK. It'll be somewhere near it for US as well, I'm sure.
So…
I Rest My Case!!!

March….let me guess it'll be 7th like it was suggest before?
It would be a Saturday that day.

But considering how non-MLP shows get canned sooner or later on The Network formerly known as HUB, would be any safer there?
May their love of ponies above all other things be their undoing.

No MLP is still going on for certain on Discovery Family so that hasn't been cancelled.
Though I wouldn't be surprise if this supposed confirmation about RID15 airing later this year is due to CN's involvement.

Like them This will be cancelled all so. Putting this on Cartoon Network was the wrong thing to do.

The irony being that most everything in that poster has been cancelled.

This is not unprecedented… Going all the way back to Beast Wars (for those old enough to remember) the show launch lagged the toy release so badly that many of the show characters weren't even available as toys anymore!

^ I saw the post, yes– March isn't perfect, but if it's true, it's at least much better than "a few months".

I found something that Hasbro said during Toyfair, involving Cartoon Network and RID starting in March, take a look

*sighs* It's painful waiting for something.
Sumner Sturgeon
At this rate, Hasbro may have to pull a Korra/Clone Wars and move to online-only at some point. Smh.

I'm more confused about the presence of Pound Puppies on this poster. Did that show end back in 2013?

Once again, thanks for the update
The nice surprise would be that the show would air around Valentine's Day (Feb 14) or the Chinese New Year's (Feb 19)

"A few months"? That could be anytime this year! I'm sure they must have their reasons, but all these noncommittal answers are getting kinda annoying.
EDIT: Then again, it was the guy from their Latin American division who said it– that could be like the equivalent of asking Hasbro UK about something going on in the US. In other words, he may be wrong, at least as far as regions that are NOT in Latin America. Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws.

News Post: Statement From Hasbro Studios Regarding The Transformers: Robots In Disguise Airdate
Chaos Muffin
Don't mind waiting. With combiner wars freshly out i don't give a shit about this crap right now.
Sumner Sturgeon
And now there's people claiming that some OTHER source told them the airdate was definitely in March. I don't know what anything is anymore, lol.
Richform4
haveing us wait for another month *pfft* wad ever
IceMagnus
My theory: CN is scared to release the date because they fear the fan rage.
