Thanks to a thread at hereiselsewhere.com, we have what suppose to be the Full Schedule for the upcoming Hasbro Hub. The thread had started to post fantasy ideas for the line-up of HUB, till their member nemalki posted the real schedule. nemalki says it’s the real deal, but unfortunately there’s no source to back the member up. Never-the-less, the schedule is too realistic to throw it away as speculation.
Here are the allocated Time Slots for Transformers related shows…
Weekdays (All Times Eastern)Kids Afternoon/Kids Prime (ages 6-12; 1-6 PM)
3:30 PM – Transformers: Beast Wars
6:00 PM – Thursday – Transformers: Prime
Family Prime (7-11 PM)
8:00 PM – Tuesdays – Transformers: Prime
8:30 PM – Tuesdays – Beast Wars
Late Night Hub
11:30 PM – Transformers: Generation One

They would have dropped it like a rock if the lines weren't making money like they did with all their other dropped properties. Which was exactly what was happening with G2. If Beast Wars failed we wouldn't have anything beyond it.
Pray tell, how Dreamwave was selling toys more so than Beast Wars. Now you have me curious.

This is the strangest news thread I've ever read……………….

Why was this frontpaged? As others have said, it's not a real schedule. The original poster didn't even claim it to be a real schedule.
To re-label this as rumor doesn't help.
As a leading TF fan site, please have the integrity to remove this as a front page item, re-name and move this thread. As it is now, you're promoting misinformation and making TFW look bad for reporting an obvious fantasy schedule as a rumored legit schedule.

Pat Lee = Transformers Jesus?

Yes it is about how Optimus became Prime after he discovers Primus. The Decepticons are an invading faction from the planet Charr.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Well, no point in continuing this discussion. And Dreamwave's comics were just as much a remake of G1 as IDW. IDW was just less blatantly ripping off dialogue and pandering about it.
Just you wait and see. If Bay's movies establish Transformers as a tentpole movie franchise (as seems likely), then Transformers movies will be made for years to come. Beast Wars, as a popular 90's cartoon and a part of an already popular franchise that has success in movies, has a much better chance than most to get a movie. Especially with its high regarded place in the TF fandom. It just won't happen until next decade, or later. After all, they're just barely getting 80's cartoons remade into movies now… it'll be until 2020 at least before the start tackling ones from the 90's.

i sure hope not lol besides, i'd figured that it'd at least be on a friday or a saturday night or something, not at 6:30pm on a thursday night, you know when KIDS are going to be doing HOMEWORK lol

Both were needed, G1 got the line going. BW saved the series when the TF line was on life surport. Remember G2 wasnt a hit and Machine Wars was a joke.
I'm sure I'll get blasted for this but it's only the truth.
The G1 fan loyalty is only here today because of BW, if it wasnt for that series Hasbro and Takara would had stop doing TF in the mid 90's as they wouldnt be making profits. That means no reissues, no classics, no masterpieces, no alternators. When BW was on alot of G1 fans didnt want anything to do with it. If my generation didnt pull though with the G1 fans that did surport the show, I doubt even this site would be here.
Both series are the legs on the TF line, remove one and the entire body falls. But when it came to doing more BW did alot more it open more doors then G1 did.
The day is coming when the G1 grip will fall apart, when Hasbro and Takara switch gears to the Beast Era fans. We already have jobs, going to college, and some even having familes. Plus sooner or later the younger fans will get sick of the bots and cons much like G2 and Machine Wars.

[G1 was not the better show, it just had the advantage of being first and having a better toy gimmick with vehicles instead of beasts (G1's toyline is indisputably king, but that's a different story). BW also has the disadvantage of being a series that satisfied its fans. Its story was told well enough that its fans don't feel the need to have a remake as it's good the way it is. Not so with G1. It's aged badly, and had a movie that jumped the shark and left it with a whole new cast in a third season that was (and still is) widely despised. People weren't satisfied with it then, let alone now. So G1 needs a remake precisely because it is a weaker show than BW. ]
If Transformers is a steamingpile of crap, its because of Bay. G1 also doesnt need to be re-made, thats why Dreamwave comics were so good, and IDW is so BADDDDDDDDDDDD. And there will never be a Beast Wars movie, because mainstream audiences wouldnt even remember what beast wars was.

can somebody PLEAAASE tell me some information on transformers prime????

Lets see, G1 is 26 years old, while BW is 14. Difference of 12 years. So, back in 1998 were there any G1 live action movies or G1 remakes? Nope.
The 90's kids haven't "come of age" yet, where they prove their purchasing power. Give it time. There'll probably be a BW revival (though it will probably be a subline to the main franchise) by the time of its 20th anniversary in 2016. It won't be as big as what G1 has gotten but it will get something.

G1 is certainly more popular, but its not the better one. BW will probably make it on the the network at some point, but I doubt that it will be on at its launch; simply because it's not about where the franchise is right now, and 80's nostalgia is high fashion while 90's nostalgia is only in it's very beginnings still.

G1 almost died because the quality went to shit, one could say the same about Beast wars, Beast Machines anyone? Transformers would have come back regardless, except maybe without a stupid monkey calling himself Optimus.
Sizzle
Many would also agree. And they would point out that G1 very nearly killed itself in the end. And they would further point out that Beast Wars saved the franchise and is one of the key reasons why Transformers as a brand is still on the shelf today.
megabot6969
Thats your opinion, many would disagree.
