Following up from the information we bought to you earlier in the, regarding Transformers Animated, Super Hero Hype has now received a full press release.
The Transformers saga has captivated kids for more than 20 years.
Coming on the heels of the highly anticipated live-action theatrical
film being released July 3rd, by DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount
Pictures, Cartoon Network and Hasbro, Inc. are announcing today that
the next generation of the epic animated series is being jointly
developed by the two entities for a 2008 debut on the network in the
U.S. The eye-popping 2-D animated series is a new twist on the original
high-octane, animated action-adventure series with new characters
alongside legends such as Optimus Prime and Megatron. Each episode will
present a standalone storyline featuring everyday heroes who do good
deeds that triumph over evil. "Transformers Animated" series will be
co-produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
Twenty-six, half-hour episodes will be produced as well as a 90-minute
special of "Transformers Animated" which is scheduled for release in
early 2008 on Cartoon Network in the U.S. Matt Youngberg ("Teen
Titans," "The Batman") is the supervising director, Derrick Wyatt
("Teen Titans") will provide the character designs and Sam Register
("Ben 10," "Teen Titans") will serve as executive producer of the
series. Marty Isenberg ("Danny Phantom," "X-Men," "Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles") acts as head writer.
"We are thrilled to be working with the highly creative team at Cartoon
Network on bringing the next chapter in the Transformers saga to kids
and fans around the world," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's Chief
Operating Officer. "The animation style that Cartoon Network has
developed really brings the lore and characters of the Transformers
franchise alive in a way that has never been seen through animation."
"Transformers is a tried and true draw for our core audience," said Bob
Higgins, senior vice president programming and development, Cartoon
Network. "Kids love the surprise of 'More Than Meets the Eye,' combined
with dynamic, clearly defined characters and epic storylines. We are
thrilled to be working with Hasbro to help re-imagine this amazing
franchise for a new generation of fans."
Set on Earth in the near future in Detroit, the alien Transformers are
thrust into a world populated by humans and automatons. As visitors to
Earth, the Transformers--Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl, Bulkhead and
Ratchet--work in the human world, interacting with the 'natives' in
exciting and humorous ways. "Transformers Animated" has been created to
showcase the heroic Autobots working together to battle the evil
Decepticons and save Earth with kid-relatable plot lines filled with
humor, distinctive character personalities, and dynamic action.
Hasbro and HPG, its licensing division, will expand the action-packed
"Transformers Animated" series through toys, games, licensed
merchandise and promotions around the world.

"Cartoon Network Studios and Hasbro are co-producing a new animated Transformers
series, which will premiere in January and is hoped to build on the
momentum created by the highly anticipated live-action feature film
opening July 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
There have been three other Transformers series on
Cartoon Network and eight series altogether since 1984. But this is the
first one Hasbro is co-producing with Cartoon rather than its Japanese
toy and production partner, Takara.
Cartoon and Hasbro executives told the trade paper that the new series, Transformers Animated,
will be significantly different from the others, adding humor,
never-before-seen characters and a new premise in which the Autobots
fight evil humans in superhero fashion much more frequently than they
battle the Decepticons, the traditional Transformers enemy since the franchise launched as a toy line in 1984.
The animated series won't pick up on any of the themes from the Paramount/DreamWorks film, which is directed by Michael Bay.
In the new Cartoon series, the robots will have a lot more
human qualities, allowing kids to identify with the characters much
more than in previous series.
The plan is to produce 26 half-hour episodes, as well as a
90-minute special that will serve as the series premiere. Matt
Youngberg (Teen Titans, The Batman) is the supervising director of the series, Sam Register (Teen Titans) will serve as executive producer."
That's the story currently being
