New series: "Transformers Heroes"
Grebo
I don't know if this has been announced or anything yet, but I just got
a peek at Cartoon Network's 2006 schedule. Looks like, in the fall,
they're gonna air a series called "Transformers Heroes". I assume this
is the next series in the line -- the one that's supposed to be a more
G1-ish style show? Maybe this is a working title and maybe its final. I
have no idea. But, just in case, thought I'd throw it out there.

marketed with a different name? It seems that the second half of some
of the recent TF toylines have been given a unique name like "Battle
for the Spark" or "The Unicron Battles" and actually had the packaging
colors changed as a result.

It seems really implausible to me that there could be any Transformers
show on CN in the fall aside from Cybertron... Where/how did you see this
schedule? Are you sure it's legitimate and not in error?

I would be a little surprised if Cybertron had not finished airing by
fall, yes. So I don't really think "Heroes" could be the first-run of
second half of Cybertron (with a subtitle like the last few lines have
had). Cybertron repeats could certainly still be on the in fall, though.
Hasbro reps said at BotCon that there is no full-fledged line in the works
until the movie comes out. Between Cybertron and the movie line is a
gap-filler, presumably consisting of the new-mold G1 characters like the
Starscream and Megatron that we saw pictures of at the convention. It
seems very unlikely to me that Hasbro would fund an all-new TV series to
support that line, although I would be happy to be proven wrong on that.
Much more likely than a new show, IMO -- assuming that the schedule is
even correct -- is that this "Heroes" series is repeats of some previous
TF show with a new title. Possibly something from the Unicron Trilogy, or
possibly repackaged G1 episodes (which *could* support the filler line).
Even that would surprise me, though.

That would be my guess. Just as long as we don't have to suffer through
that space cube again. :-P I'm thinking this is probably the TF
equivalent to Power Rangers Generations.

for the G-1 Revisted line of toys."
IMO,At the very least do 3 episodes for the filler line/G-1 revisted.
similar to what Takara did for the robotmasters toys in Japan. Similar
to those singular DVD movies Hasbro did for G.I Joe a few years ago.
Dear God,please no freaking puppet power master prime or that God awful
Cybertron space cube that the G-2 cartoon had.
At the very least just re-release the seasons 1-3 in regular format.
perhaps borrow the tapes from rhino/pioneer or whoever sold those old
1984-1986 episodes on DVD a few years ago.

line a cartoon series.
AT THE VERY FREAKING LEAST,Have IDW Comics do a few volumes based on
the TF G-1 Revisted/Filler toy designs+story line. you know sort of
like what Hasbro told Marvel to do with the G-2 Comic book issues that
had 12 issues in total.
Heck perhaps Hasbro could include TF G-1 Revisted new cartoons inside
the toys. every new wave could include a newer cartoon episode. similar
to what Takara did for robotmasters & what Hasbro did for G.I Joe.

I would be hugely surprised if anything from Armada or Energon were
rerun again on Cartoon Network. The repeated re-schedulings, and the
exile of Energon to like 5am weekdays for a stretch of time, sure seems
like the execs there didn't like the show. And it's not really in
Hasbro's interest to broadcast them, since the toys aren't out.
On the other hand, BWX will be out by then and Neo-G1 would be coming
soon, and Hasbro did say at Botcon that they were thinking about
getting reruns of that show back on the air to promote them. I'd
sooner expect reruns of G1 and BW, a 'highlights show' sort of thing.

Depends on how long BWX lasts. The first wave hits right after Christmas,
and Heroes wouldn't start for nine months. The only thing we know for sure
that'll be on shelves around then are the new Primal and Megs. It'd be a
little late to promote the redecos.

Out now, got 'em today. I'm actually a lot more impressed with them
than I thought I would be, but that might be my inner Scrooge trying
to justify spending $45 for half of Transmutate...
Love the bios, though. Also love the description of Rhinox's Chain Gun
"of Doom!"
