    What if this time Megatron actually did win?

    They could start off a new series where the Autobots are scattered and defeated, and Optimus has to somehow bring them together, rescue Autobot POWs and retake Cybertron. It'd be a whole new dynamic, and an opportunity to put some of those background characters into the spotlight while most of the regular crew remain MIA.

    if megatron won... that could be a real big push to the series.... and lead them to a while 'lets start a rebellion and get cybertron back to the way it was' plot.... that would be awesome!!!! though i still want to see screamer back. I love starscream. (wonders why she can't find a guy like him... that's human)

    well, I reckon a cliffhanger like that would generate some serious word-of-mouth for the show.

    As for Starscream, there probably wouldn't be much future for him on Cybertron, since he's persona-non-grata with Megatron. He'd probably offer his services to the Autobots as their new leader.

    They are NOT going to continue Animated with a spin-off, or a sequel, or anything of the sort. When Animated airs on Saturday, and the credits roll, that's it. Animated is done at that point. Gone. Finished. Kapoot.

    That's a coincidence, honestly. I usually don't read speculation threads because I don't want to read any potential spoilers, so I actually have never read either of those threads.

    I'm sorry, you seem to have mentioned something from a book series that doesn't exist.

    Ohyeah you know the future now so THIS TIME I'll take that as confirmation.

    SAD :( 

    ANYWAY, can you at least tell us if the future lies in western writing hands?

    Hey Kickback, will "Endgame" Part 2 be satisfying as "Bridge Too Close" (Part 2)?

    Well, most people get it. However, there are others who think just because they love something so much that it's not going to end, despite reality.

    I would go as far as saying I feel pretty confident that Transformers itself lies in western hands. Hasbro wants to be an entertainment company now, and Transformers is their most successful entertainment brand. You don't throw that at TakaraTomy and let them create a poorly written anime.

    No, you take your baby by the hand, feed it, make it stronger, and go from there.

    Transformers is going to lead the way for the future of Hasbro's Entertainment adventure.

    Transformers franchise isn't a baby anymore. It's a 25 year old franchise which sould be done with its college years.

    Seems to me with the movie coming out and drawing more fans to the TF Brand, I'd want to keep Animated around. At least to fill the gap between the movies. If it is going to end for sure, which I don't know, then maybe have an Animated 2.0 next year or some other spin-off. I'd hate to lose it.

    It would be if Hasbro didn't constantly throw the fat baby out of the window to make another one.

    Reboot is the right of all nerd franchises.

He finds a mysterious objected called the OMNIMATRIX! He now has 10 forms?! His opponent Megatron is a giant alien monster thing)

    Transformers EXTREME (Optimus Prime just left getting a remodel from an Earth factory. Now he can transform into a sweet ass car pimped out car with 6 TV screen inside that become his chest. He's joined by the likes of RUMBLEBEE, who turns into a HUMMER)

    Then why does no one listen? :p 

    I mean, I guess I could get a big flashing neon sign and run around outside having it flash "ANIMATED IS DONE" ... but everyone is so determined to convince themselves and everyone else that Animated is somehow in the future plans of Hasbro, that the next cartoon will be a spin-off, that Animated is the new continuity for all continuities ...

    But it's not.

    It ends on Saturday. The next cartoon will not be Animated, it will not be based off Animated, so people should stop "giving praise and hope!" and start facing the facts and begin getting excited for what's next instead of clinging on to something that's dead in the water.

    G1 rocks. But it's been dead for 20 something years.
