It is with great pleasure that Transformers At The Moon and TransformersAnimated.com can bring you exclusive news of the official UK debut for the Transformers Animated cartoon series on NickToons.

Transformers Animated will debut at 4:30pm on Tuesday 25th March 2008 with the three part special Transform and Roll Out. The show will then air everyday for the rest of March and the whole of April. Episodes 1-16 (Series 1) will be shown across this period, repeating the episodes.

"A thrilling new twist on the 1980s classic sci-fi series, Transformers Animated offers eye-popping action adventure set in the techno-heaven surroundings of 22^nd century Detroit. The old favourites are back with everyday heroes Optimus Prime and his team of transforming Autobots going into battle with Megatron and his army of ruthless Decepticons to protect Earth and the all-important 'Cube'. The epic storylines, character-driven humour and high-octane action make this new NickToons series addictive and transfixing viewing for kids of all ages.

Three-part special Transform and Roll Out tells the story of the Transformers' journey to earth. Thrust into an unknown culture, the alien Autobots are like fish out of water, confused by the simplest things such as traffic lights and fast food. However, as their good deeds triumph over evil, they soon achieve hero status with the humans. Now all they need to do is protect the Cube and their new adopted home, plus live up to their new reputation!

An eight-year-old girl called Sari Sumdac helps the Autobots by finding them a secret base in an abandoned autoplant belonging to her father - the Bill Gates of robots. She also introduces them to 'normal' experiences like camping and class field trips, with not-so-normal and generally hilarious consequences! Sari is not only important because she becomes an honorary Autobot, she also has the power of the Key to the Cube, something the Decepticons would dearly love to have in their possession…

More akin to a Superhero show, the Transformers face threats from an entire rogues' gallery of villains. Each exciting and intriguing episode will play out an edge-of-your-seat battle with a different Decepticon, set in spectacularly futuristic locations. Make sure that you don't miss out on the action!".
