    dude I hope this means that the toys will appear in mainstream stores like Walmart or Target again if they are brought over.

    From what I read online the first two seasons of Micronauts are already written. 26 episodes that are 22 minutes per episodes. At least one season is already produced. Also Michael Bell is the voice of a villain.



    I found several writers and artists whose credits on LinkedIn confirm Hasbro has at least 2 seasons planned.

    I posted the teaser image of Micronauts on a large Micronauts Facebook page today and so far reception has been near universally negative. We know it's not made for 50 year old collectors, but it looks pretty bad.

    LinkedIn is a great source for people taking credit for episodes not out yet. For instance Mike Fox here claims he wrote two Micronauts episodes called "The Merger" and "Cat Trick".

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-fox-542932b

    Claudio Niccari says he did character design for season 1 and 2. Etc. There are like a dozen people with credits on this series when you search.

    While I do prefer the art style from the concept art of the Micronauts cartoon pitch that was canceled way earlier this decade, I'm willing to wait for the series to actually air to pass judgment on it. There are a lot of ways a series can make up for a sub-par art style. I do hope that the art style has improved beyond the leaked concept art posted earlier this thread though.

    Oh, and here is art from that failed pitch:

    There have been multiple failed pitches for Micronauts cartoons of varying qualities...

    Woah, that style looks like something out of an old-school Man of Action toon. I've wondered if Man of Action was involved with that old rejected pitch?

    They're finally porting over Zoids Wild?
    Thank god, no one's subbing it and there's barely any information on it in the English internet! I got a couple of kits (fun builds btw. The runner-less approach makes them really quick builds, but the sculpts are detailed so you can take it slow if you want to) and it would be really cool to see them in action.

    Hyped to see Zoids coming back stateside, especially with the Zoids game on the Switch.

    And despite all the hating on the Bayverse, glad to see the Allspark become such a major name in Hasbro now.

    Man, what's great is that if they're adding Zoids to the list of upcoming shows, that would also mean a Hasbro Zoids toyline is on the horizon, which i wonder if they gunna have kits with plenty of 5mm port goodness.

    I would love for zoids to return to the shelfs of main stream stores make them easier to buy and might make other anime kits come back to those stores.

    It's a dub of Zoids Wild. Hasbro only produced a new Duel Masters cartoon because the anime had 10 years worth of content they'd need to catch up on. Blazing Team happened, because, well, Blazing Teens is just awful. Neither apply to Zoids.

    Happened over 10 years ago.

    Oh, okay. But was every episode dubbed into English? If not, then redubbing Zoids Genesis could be an option.

    So does this mean the Allspark forums will be shut down?

    According to the footer of the forum's website, it's trademarked as "The Allspark" and not just "Allspark" like Hasbro. The worse that's going to happen is they'll have to hand over their allspark.com domain to Hasbro (though, I don't believe it's legally required) and change their main site to theallspark.com which the Allspark forum already owns.
