    It takes more than one guy to make a cartoon and if it was season 4 why wouldn;t DJW's name be all over this.

    If it is a new comic I will not be interested in this story.

    If it is for season 3 DVD release then I will be happier than a pig in shit.

    I need me my season 3.

    Because he's a character designer and art director (and works on TFA story stuff too). It's unknown if he has ever done sequential art, or is any good at it, but it's unlikely he'd have time for a heavy role in it with his new job.

    If it's a comic, as long as Marty Isenberg is writing it, they will have my money. as much as I can possibly give them.

    Yup. Wyatt has given us enough new character designs to probably go through like, 2 years of story telling without me missing him if hes to busy to work on it (Thats a lie Id still miss him : ( ). As long as MArty is on board and, Marcelo is drawing im happy : )

    If some version of season 4 fiction were created that included the proposed "Truck vs. Monkey" (Blackarachnia creating an Optimus clone) and flashforward (Galvatron sitting on the throne of a dead Cybertron with an orbiting Unicron head) stories, I know I would sorely miss DJW's designs if he were not available to do any.

    Dude, it's DJW. There's no way he'd miss out on comics. He'd figure something out.

    After just finishing watching the entire Animated serie, I am hoping for a season 4, though I don't believe we'll get one

    It didn't fail. It was Hasbro's idea to say fuck you to Cartoon Network and make their own channel.

    Not really. Hasbro realised what a bunch of raving morons CN is and bailed.

    A number of factors played into Animated's demise, but it never failed.

    Can we go one Animated thread with people not talking about how they think they know why animated was canned?

    That, like many other things on these boards, will never happen. If it did happen, by some miracle, the universe would surely implode.

    You seem to be under the impression that you know what a toyline failing means. None of those toylines failed. Infact some of them proved to be pretty successful in sales terms for Hasbro.
    Some of the Lines were short lived yes but that was more due to the focus of the brand shifting to new media (in the case of animated with focus shifting to Prime and the Hub) The Movie lines were always going to have a short life because they were based on movies and movie lines only ever last as long as the interest in the movie.
    Classics, Universe and Generations/RTS are basicaly the same line re named and reinvented inorder to rerelease the same characters as new toys.

    If G1 had used the same subline branding rules that HAsbro are using now it would probably have been split into more than 10 lines....

    The reason stock ends up in places like TJmaxx is that they're basicaly a stock clearance shop. One of the biggest costs of anything after development and shipping is warehouse costs...the longer something has to be stored the more it costs and the less profit will be made when it finally comes to be sold. So there is level of acceptable profit reduction so the stock can be cleared from the warehouse leaving space for newer SKUs (items/toys/products)
    TJmaxx buys this older stock for less, clearing the warehouse.

    The Transformers Brand is currently classed as a megabrand and megabrands need to continually refreshing to give new and exciting products. If you call that failing then I wouldn't mind that kind of money from failure.

    I'd be satisfied if we went an Animated thread with people not talking like it "failed" using logic no deeper than "it's not currently going on, therefore it failed."
