Here's some disappointing news for fans of The Hub's hit series Transformers Prime. According to Kidscreen Magazine (via TFormers), this spring's third season (titled Beast Hunters) will be the conclusion of the show. Additionally, it has been revealed that a new Transformers animated series is in the works, and will launch in late 2014 after Michael Bay's fourth entry in the movie series releases that summer. Below is the full report on the news. Do you plan on watching this new Transformers series, and how do you feel about Prime ending?
As for Hasbro's established stable of series, which drive the programming on its US joint venture network The Hub, the 13 episodes of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters due to launch this year represent the final chapter of the Transformers Prime story. It has grown to encompass 65 half-hour episodes that continue to roll out around the world. Look for a 75-minute Transformers Prime Beast Hunters movie to hit DVD shelves in Q4.
But that's not the end for Transformers. Arnesen says a "new iteration of the animated TV series" is slated for delivery in late 2014, which looks like it might be shaping up to be the year of the Autobots, given that audiences are already expecting the fourth live-action blockbuster in July.
