    This has been part of my weekly viewing habits on Netflix since I joined up with them years ago. It's a shame but they need to make more room for more Pokemon (yay) and various other horrible quality-challenged cartoon network type shows.

    It was bound to happen sometime.
    Guess I can go back to my Rhino DVDs.
    Then I'll gain the bumpers, but I'll also gain the stupid added sound FX.

    Netflix isn't really "making room" for anything.
    They don't have time slots or ad revenue like a television network.
    This is just based on the contracts that it works out with the studios.

    There have been several Transformers shows hosted on Netflix for years.
    It was bound to change eventually.

    Or just....don't watch them. Cause they're really not that good.

    I mean...they redefined my universe when I was 8....but it's kinda hard to sit through episodes now.

    If you have a Roku, there's a Hasbro Channel that has all the TF series (even the unicron trilogy) for free.

    Yes, and part of how they negotiate those contracts is budget. So often they let a contract expire and don't renew it in order to "make room" in that budget to negotiate new contracts.

    So yes, they're exactly making room for things.

    In addition, Netflix will often cycle material. The contract runs out, they drop the show/movie, then later down the road they pick it back up again. They tend to negotiate these things in packages with content providers, not show by show, so it's really not too big a worry if something you like is removed. When they eventually re-negotiate with that provider the show will probably make it's way back again.

    So because you don't like them, others shouldn't watch? I don't get the point of posts like these, just to log in and say something sucks? There's plenty of TF series I don't like, but I don't go on here just to say they suck and others shouldn't watch it. Whatever

    Ouch like I don't have enough things to work in before the end of the year I guess I need to work in one more trip down memory lane with Transformers G1 and GI Joe A Real American Hero.

    Then check out that Roku channel BenjaminXavier mentioned.
