    TFP had a nice run. It's time to move on. I'm happy to say this show lived up to my tastes.

    Sad to see it go for sure. It rekindled my interest in the franchise so in my book it will go down in history as the 2nd best series after G1. And it's only 2nd because of the sentimental value of G1, nothing else.

    Looking forward to the last dance though in Predacons Rising. :)

    I certainly am! It's easily my favorite Transformers TV series next to TFA and G1. Transformers GO! is allegedly a sequel, but it's not the same :(

    if this were 5 years ago I would be sad.

    But nowadays where barely 20% of action shows get more than 52 episodes? I find this a victory. 3 seasons and a movie is much more than I even honestly expected.

    It is a scary fact that out of the nearly 8 or 9 action shows premiered in 2010 and 2011 only one managed to go over 52 episodes and out of those a few didnt even manage to have more than 26 episodes, it tells a lot about how western animation is going to work in the future since apparently unless you have steady toylines you aren't worth keeping alive to TV executives. Expect alot of TEEN TITANS GO and other comedic cartoons in our future.

    Also it's kinda... hard to even consider it a true ending since there are so many hints of the next show being a sequel/same universe.

    When I found out it was coming to a conclusion, I was upset. It seems like every time I get attached/invested in a Transformers series, it ends. The show had it's "say wut?" moments, but it was beautifully done, had awesome VA's and easily became my favorite TF show. I am seriously going to miss some of my favorite Transformers coming to life every week.

    I am comforted though in still having Rescue Bots and hearing the rumors/hints that the next series will have some of the same VA's and could very well be a sequel.

    Yeah and it makes me pretty worried about the future action shows in the future both TF and none TF related. :(  I don't want to end up in a state similer to how toons were during the Hanna Berbara era where almost all shows back then were only comedic and kid friendly.

    I admit it, TFP was the reason why I constantly came onto the website: to discuss about my favourite show with my fellow fans. Nowadays since it ended, I have been... greatly absent.

    Yes, I took it badly at first because of how much I loved it (it was the second show I saw to the very end with Cybertron being the first) and I went off the grid for about a month after it ended, but I still lingered around to check in and see if there was any news regarding to a new series or the filming progress of AOE. Anything that could make me look forward to something at least.

    Honestly still there is nothing worth of being anything interesting. I am perhaps a little bit disappointed in lack of news.

    But alas, I can't have everything I want. I've still got Predacons Rising to look forward to, but after that...? Well... that remains to be certain. Maybe I'll fade off the grid again and reappear when AOE comes out or any news regarding the next series. We'll see.

    Sad? Meh, not overly. I never really gelled with the cast, it was good, and at it's best it was very good, but it was never great. I did like its maturity at times, and some of the cast were pretty good, but I was never as attached to it as, say, Beast Wars. To be honest aside from the original cartoons, Beast Wars and Animated, I haven't really been that invested in TF animated fiction for a while (even G1 is more nostalgia than quality of the product). I've always been a bigger fan of the comics.

    I'm always hopeful that they'll come up with something that blows me away though. It does happen occasionally, and as others have said, Prime was given a proper send off, and that's always cool.

    Well, we still have the movie, but I'm not really sad that Prime is over unfortunately. At first, I liked it with all the stuff in Season One, but when Season two began and everything that Season One built up was torn to pieces. The show lost me and I hoped for it to get better in Season three. It did alittle, but Season three was misleading and just... boring. By the last episode, when I'm supposed to be sad and happy for the characters and the future they have now, all I could say was "Thank Goodness" the show was done. And that is a shame. For the voice actors who did the best they could with what they had and an universe that actually could have actually been fun to explore.

    Hopefully, the next series will be better. I will be optimistic here XD

    I loved the show, but I'm not sad.
    It was quite a success.
    There were 65 episodes plus the movie.
    The FoC and WfC games tie in with Prime.
    The next series could be a continuation, or there could be more direct to video movies.

    I'm really sad to see it go. In my opinion, it was hands-down the best animated series we've ever gotten for the brand.

    Me? No, definitely not. Knock Out and BD are probably the only two characters I cared to certain amount. I'll remember this show for giving us them - and that's it.

    Not so much. I did see every episode, but I have seen better Transformers shows. As long as I have my IDW comics, I'm happy.
