Derrick  Wyatt has replied to a question raised ourselves in response to another question by Perceptor of Unicron.com regarding the Transformers Animated season three rumours that they received. Derrick replied with the following to Perceptors question

"Perceptor@unicron.com's question is a good one! I've been trying to think of a way to answer without unleashing a mess of spoilers. But, I haven't figured out how to do it yet".

To which we followed up with "guess we can take that as at least some of it is true, otherwise it would be an easy debunking answer".  In response to our question Derrick replied with "Yes, you are right. In Perceptor's comments, one bit is true. One part is confused (probably by a person seeing a design and making assumptions). One is just flat out wrong.".

So there you go, one part is wrong, one is confused and one right.  For those who can not remember the post at Unicron.com here it is again

"* Yes, there will be a season 3, Transformers Animated.
* (at least some) Episodes have been recorded.
* Transformers Animated Season 3 will begin with a multi-part episode.
* As of now (subject to change) it is scheduled to air, "next spring."
* For those of you who don’t know, Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio were the Executive Story Editors and storywriters (in my opinion) largely responsible for the popularity of the Beast Wars Transformers cartoon series.  For this forthcoming Transformers Animated episode, they share credit on story and script.  It is the first time they have worked together since Beast Wars.  The episode title (subject to change) is:
PREDACONS RISINGWe have been told, it should be a surprise treat for all Beast Wars Fans."

Unicron.com have posted an image gallery of Transformers Animated Bulkhead which include the first in packaging images of the figure. Here's a preview image

We've also now received a copy of the Transformers Animated press pack (via email, not in the post so we didn't get the DVD), but we do have access to the profiles and images. The profiles are already on Transformers Animated.com's profile page, and most of the information was already covered there, but be sure to check that site out for a full rundown.

We are also in the progress of redrawing all of the images in vector graphics, so you can expect some more wallpapers in the near future.

Thanks to The Allspark for the news.
