![]() ![]() ![]() Plans for Season 4 involved helping Sari gain more development, as Executive Meddling from Hasbro demoted her to a secondary recurring character in Season 3. Cartoon Network stopped airing the show almost as soon as the finale aired. Hasbro partnered with Discovery Communications to launch the Hub, the home of the next Transformers series, Prime. The show lasted three seasons and although somewhat cut short on production plans (they were hoping for a fourth season) the last episode was written to serve as a respectable Grand Finale, concluding the overall Myth Arc. The humans are unhappy with the collateral damage, and the Autobots maintain their good graces by repairing the city (after all, they are construction workers.) Other unique features of the show are that the Transformers are very well-known among the community (which hasn't really been done since Generation 1), and there is a noticeable lack of Hero Insurance. Some are joke villains who are only petty thieves, but others are legitimate threats through technology or mutations. ![]() To maintain the Decepticons as serious enemies, humans comprise the bulk of the Autobots' enemies for the first two seasons. While the Decepticons are largely violent thugs there is some truth to a belief they are fighting against a caste system that places them at the bottom rung corruption, prejudice and stagnant social structures can be seen in the Autobot leadership. He is dangerous, but doesn't want to deal with the entire Autobot Elite Guard before he's ready. Most of the time, Megatron is planning some sort of Evil Plan to avoid detection while still furthering his plans. Even one 'Con requires the entire team to work together just to contain them, but they are scattered and at odds with each other. The Decepticons are also defined as big and powerful enemies, with most towering over the Autobots a Great Offscreen War infers the Autobots had only won due to strategy and control of the spacebridge network. Other unique aspects of the show include the main Autobot team are not the upper hierarchy of leadership but instead low level maintenance workers, most of their weapons are re-purposed tools and the "Prime" in Optimus' name is a military designation equivalent to a captain and does not make him The Chosen One. This separates it from more rugged designs of other parts of the franchise, while also allowing for some really stylistic animesque action scenes. The animation style of the series is quite unique, being very fluid, simplistic and organic-looking for robot characters. However, the Decepticons aren't far behind. Waking up in The Future, they befriend Sari Sumdac, 7-year-old daughter of Robotics genius Professor Isaac Sumdac, and work to maintain friendly relations with the public. When they're attacked by the exiled Decepticons, their ship crash-lands on Earth in Detroit. Despite severe fan reactions to the character designs and animation style, the show's story and scripting (and a healthy respect to the saga as a whole) have won over many converts in short order.Ī long time after the Decepticons were defeated in the Great War, a group of maintenance Autobots ( Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Prowl and Bumblebee) discover the coveted Transformer artifact called "The AllSpark".
