    That's not BB from the new show that's just a pic of BB from the new IDW series. I'm very excited for this, glad to hear Susan Blu is back again as voice director. Hopefully soon a casting call of all the characters in the show will pop up

    My bet is on Movieverse as well (cringes and shudders as I type that!). Why would Hasbro start a new series just to have it end when we are only about a year and a half away from TF3.

    General Fowler will probably be some sort of NEST character.

    Well, this is certainly very interesting. I can't wait to here more about it. Though hearing that Michael Bell and not Corey Burton will be voicing Ratchet (possibly) crushes my hopes that the new show will be related to Animated in any way. With Transformers 3 around the corner, is there even any point in creating a new series? Like previous posters stated, it will probably just be flushed down the freakin' toilet once Bay dishes out Transformers 3. And what's worse, like Animated, it will probably have a rushed, unresolved, pathetic excuse for a season/series finale. God, I'm just a ball of freakin' sunshine today. :( .........

    But in any case, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for voice actors the likes of Richard Horvitz, Maurice LaMarche, Rob Paulsen, and Keith David to be on board with this new series. Heck, I'd even want Seth MacFarlane to be a part of Transformers. Very unlikely though, since he's obviously too involved with work on Family Guy, American Dad, and the Cleveland Show to do any other series, it would seem.

    Edit: And come on, stop with the "oh no, there are gonna be humans in the show! D:" talk.

    I don't know why all you guys think this will end before TF3. Animated was very different from the moviverse which is why Hasbro wanted to end it since the movieverse was a big hit. The new cartoon most likely won't be in the moviverse but in something very similar to it

    Pretty sure that was supposed to be mainly Japenese suck at Transformers FICTION, not designing them. And it's true. They suck so, so horribly. Remember, the first chance they got to do something original with TFs....they turned them into souless mechs for human characters to pilot. And Japan started the the whole "little kids order the Autobots around" thing, so everytime a human shows up in a new series, you can thank Takara for that (I have no problem with human characters, though).

    And it's a joint effort between East and West making the toys. Only those first two, untouchable years were all Takara. It's true! It's true!

    Why would Hasbro start a new series just to kill it for the movies? Simple because it's Hasbro.

    Just compare the Transformers 25th anniversary to say GI Joe or Star Wars. The other lines get big releases and a big deal made out of it while we pretty much got the figures that were coming out anyway in the same packaging just with a little silver sticker added.

    Or look at how Animated got shafted with the gap between the release of the cartoon and the toys.

    I hope we get a cartoon series that's more 'serious', along the lines of the X-Men series; as much as I enjoyed Animated, it was defintiely set in the cartoon world.

    For everyone asking, the BB pic came from IDW's TF ongoing series.

    So it's a completely new series and not dubbed anime crap?

    I already have a good feeling about it =]

    Okay, somebody has to mention it...

    Don't these VA's have to sign non-disclosure agreements before they are accepted for an audition? Maybe they didn't have to sign for the new TF series, but usually leaking character names is a BIG no-no. It might not be such a good idea for Michael Bell to be going around talking so much.

    Then again, it wouldn't be the first time Mike Bell has tried to rally the fans to help him get work. See "Similar Threads" below.

    I was about to say, I'm half expecting the next newsbreak to be "Michael Bell removed from cast of new Transformers cartoon!"
