{{Nav-Animated}}

'''''Transformers Animated''''' is a cartoon series which debuted in early 2008, in support of the [[franchise]] of [[Transformers Animated|the same name]].

The cartoon is produced by [[Cartoon Network]], scripted in the United States, with character and background designs by the crews behind shows like ''[[wikipedia:Teen Titans (TV series)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Ben 10|Ben 10]]'', while animation is being provided by Japanese studios [[Mook]], [[The Answer Studio]], and [[Studio 4°C]].

''Animated'' sees several G1 voice actors reprise their old roles ([[Susan Blu]], [[Corey Burton]], [[John Moschitta]], etc.), and is the first Transformers show featuring [[David Kaye]] in which he won't be voicing [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

==Series details==
[[Image:TransformersAnimatedPoster.jpg||thumb|250px|left|"When there's trouble you know who to call..."]]
The series eschews the ever-continuing space opera storylines of the past few anime to return to the episodic approach of ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]''; each episode will be a standalone story, but with an overall story arc that stretches through the whole season. The focus is being put firmly on characterization, dynamic action, and humor.

The episodes center not only on the war between the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, but also on the Autobots' interactions with many of [[Detroit]]'s [[human]] supervillain denizens, including a [[Angry Archer|maladjusted marksman]], a [[Nanosec|speedy racer]], and a guy who [[Prometheus Black|looks good in a pimp suit]]. The idea is to present the Decepticons as more of an ongoing background threat instead of having them be repeatedly defeated each episode and look like bumbling fools. Rather, the arrival of a Decepticon in battle is supposed to be a big deal, requiring multiple Autobots working together to stop even a single one. The human villains will give the Autobots "everyday" threats--and no doubt their schemes will turn out to be the result of Decepticon treachery. Note that [[Doctor Arkeville|human]] [[Lord Chumley|adversaries]] [[Circuit Breaker|are]] [[Cobra Commander|not]] [[Abdul Fakkadi|new]] [[Lazarus|in]] ''Transformers'' continuity. However, humans as [[Hydra and Buster|major]] [[Overlord|threats]] is very uncommon.

Season 3 is already in the works, and season 4 is quite possible.

While the series is not a sequel to the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]], they have many thematic elements in common, most notably the central role of the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] and the revelation that all modern technology has been reverse-engineered from the dormant body of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Hasbro also carried over some design elements from the live-action movie into Animated designs, including not just the aforementioned cube but also [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]'s medical readout striped deco, [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s black racing stripe, and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s helmet. These are meant to be "connection points," helping kids who had seen the theatrical film but had no prior Transformers experience ease into understanding the new series.

==Reception==
''Transformers Animated'' debuted January 5, 2008, at 10:30am EST as the number one television show among boys 6-11 in both cable and network television. In addition, the strength of the showing helped lift the ratings of all its neighboring shows in Cartoon Network's "Dynamite Action" scheduling block. <ref>http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,1701434,00.html</ref>

==Trivia==
* ''Transformers: Animated'' reunites Jeff Bennett, Bill Fagerbakke and Cree Summer as regular cast members. Respectively, they have previously voiced [[wikipedia:Manhattan_Clan#Brooklyn|Brooklyn]], [[wikipedia:Manhattan_Clan#Broadway|Broadway]] and Hyena from the [[wikipedia:Gargoyles (TV series)|Gargoyles]] series, three characters not unlike their Transformers counterparts. Another voice actor for Gargoyles, Kath Soucie, has made a guest appearance.
* The series is the first in over a decade to re-establish the classic G1 convention of blue eyes for Autobots and red eyes for Decepticons.
* As well as the aforementioned G1 voice actors, [[Townsend Coleman]] returns to a Transformers series. He voiced [[Rewind]] in the original G1 cartoon.
* It seems like the Autobots like faceplates in this series. (i.e. Optimus, Prowl, Bumblebee, Sentinel Prime.)
* Yes, they have large chins. Shut up about it.

Talk:Transformers Animated (cartoon)

82.154.158.214: /* Cast revealed */

==More cast revealed==
Creator Derrick has posted in his blog http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/ several faces of who appear to be, swindle, jetstorm, wreck gar, skywarp, shockwave, mixmaster, blurr, jetfire and thundercracker

Also, in the comments section he says and I quote
"About Gurren Lagann: No, actually. I hadn't seen Gurren Lagann until after we had finished most of the first season of TFA. I wish I had, because I would have had the Headmaster robot transform with stubby little legs. And maybe Masterson's head popping up out of the top of the robot."

==Cybertron Modes==

Anyone else think that we should add images of all the Cybertron forms in the profile pages

==Wasp, Warp and Swind==

Ok, anyone got a link confirming these three. Cause I know Waspy was just a rumour to start off with, and Skywarp and Swindle are completely new to me[[User:GWolfv2]]
: http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=12617& , but it's STILL a rumour. We should wait for an official statement. --[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 16:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Or at least until we know which factions the new characters are. Skywarp we can take for granted, but the other two? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 18:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

==Mixmaster==

Is this confirmed?
*I believe this info came from the same person who posted a lot of the design sheets on different message boards. I'd assume he's in the know if he got his hands on those, but at the same time, I'm not sure I'd call it official. [[User:Koh4711|Koh4711]] 02:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Waspinator? ==

When has there been any mention of him appearing?
*David Kaye talked about Waspinator appearing in the show during BotCon '07. -[[User:Awa64|Awa64]] 01:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
*He wasn't confirmed in anyway though. And as far as I can tell, there's nowhere in the episode guide that introduces him

Yeah, I don't really think that we should have him there right now. Hope to god he's in though. [[User:Ragingtsunami726|Ragingtsunami726]] 02:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

==Ironhide==
*sooooo...Ironhide is not one of the Cybertrons Elite Guards anymore now that he got placed in the normal cast of autobots?--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 16:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

== UK Intro ==

I was watching TF:A in the UK and noticed that the intro has gained the adition of two red bars at the top and bottom of the screen, these are not in the versions i have downloaded... is this because of the change from NTSC to PAL or is it because they were animated in 16x9 while the rest of the show is 4x3?

==Season 3?==
"Season 3 is already in the works and season 4 is quite possible"--where was that ever confirmed? I thought we hadn't heard anything about the cartoon past "A Bridge Too Close." --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 16:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:Either Botcon or Comicon, if I recall. Mentioned that 1 and 2 were already in the can (and we know why now, given the way they're being aired back to back) and that they were taking this all the way.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 16:25, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

== Cast List & Non-Show Characters ==

We have probably reached the point where the cast list on this page should be pruned of characters who haven't actually appeared in the show, like Blurr and Laserbeak. Opinions? [[User:JW|JW]] 17:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
:Well, there is the possiblity of Blurr in Velocity, but I think Laserbeak can go for now. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 18:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::Laserbeak is being planned for S3 apparently [[User:GWolfv2]]
:::Our general rule is that we wait for things to actually happen before putting them in the wiki, n'est-ce pas? [[User:JW|JW]] 19:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::How about Oil Slick? He was designed to be a toy only character. And I have a hunch, so does Jetfire & Jetstrom. Where do we put them? --[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 11:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::They're in [[:Category:Animated characters]] and [[:Category:Toy-only characters]]. That's the way we normally handle toy-only characters. [[User:JW|JW]] 11:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well, toy-only characters might be found under.... oh, I dunno... maybe... [[Animated (toyline)]]? -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 14:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Once again, barring dissent, I'm going to go through the cast list and prune it of characters who haven't ''already appeared'' in the show. That way we don't try to predict who's a toy-only character, and we don't post stuff in advance of official announcements. Toy characters go on [[Animated (toyline)]], and all characters go in [[:Category:Animated characters]], but the cast list is for people who ''have appeared.'' Dissent? [[User:JW|JW]] 20:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Criminy ==

Every time a writer or voice actor mentions someone as a "possibility" we have to spend three months removing them from the cast list. Now, it begins for Galvatron and Ratbat. And they're still talking about Waspinator as a "possibility" so we're still dealing with that one.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 23:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Making new pages for episodes...? ==

So I was thinking I would try my hand at actually creating a page and adding some real content. I was gonna do it for Black Friday since it doesn't have a page, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't some rule against doing this for episodes that haven't aired yet, even though they already showed this one at Botcon. --[[User:Rose.T|Rose.T]] 06:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:We have a 30 day moratorium on 'club-exclusive' material. (So people don't just rush here and reach rephrased synopses instead of signing up. Also because if you opt for the cheap shipping your stuff arrives later.) In that instance, the material being 'protected' by the moratorium increases in value (for Fun Pub) because it is protected. Black Friday is not a club exclusive (it was a con exclusive,) refraining from documenting it does not increase its value- or offer any secondary value to people who sign up for the collector's club in the future (unlike other club premiums, future members will never 'get' to watch he episode early again.)
:The Botcon airing of Black Friday doesn't seem to be protected for any of the reasons we normally protect stuff. I'd say 'go ahead' unless someone else voices an objection. -[[User:75.168.112.43|75.168.112.43]] 07:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::I say go for it, just use a spoiler tag. We had synopses for episodes that were essentially Canadian exclusive, at least for a week. - [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 09:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:::No. No spoiler tags in episode articles. If you're too stupid to realize that an article about the episode itself contains spoilers, then nothing can help you. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 10:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm gonna disagree here, just on the off chance that someone clicks "random page" and winds up on the Black Friday page. The spoiler alert will give them time to get somewhere else before seeing something they might not want to. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 11:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I agree with Hooper. Having gone through the BW time when assholes spoiled things left and right in a big HEY I GOTS INSIDE INFO DIG ME douchebaggery festival, I'm all for making sure accidental spoilers don't happen. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::I invite all of you to [[Transformers Wiki Talk: Spoilers]].--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 14:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I don't see how that's not accomplished by the navbox at the top that clearly states it's the 26th episode of ''Animated''. Or, y'know, the title. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 14:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::What about the page title "Garbage In Garbage Out" tells me that it's an unaired ''Animated'' episode, instead of some obscure storybook that I've never heard of or old comic book title that I've forgotten about?

== Waspinator? ==

When has there been any mention of him appearing?
*David Kaye talked about Waspinator appearing in the show during BotCon '07. -[[User:Awa64|Awa64]] 01:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
*He wasn't confirmed in anyway though. And as far as I can tell, there's nowhere in the episode guide that introduces him

Yeah, I don't really think that we should have him there right now. Hope to god he's in though. [[User:Ragingtsunami726|Ragingtsunami726]] 02:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

==Ironhide==
*sooooo...Ironhide is not one of the Cybertrons Elite Guards anymore now that he got placed in the normal cast of autobots?--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 16:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

== UK Intro ==

I was watching TF:A in the UK and noticed that the intro has gained the adition of two red bars at the top and bottom of the screen, these are not in the versions i have downloaded... is this because of the change from NTSC to PAL or is it because they were animated in 16x9 while the rest of the show is 4x3?

==Season 3?==
"Season 3 is already in the works and season 4 is quite possible"--where was that ever confirmed? I thought we hadn't heard anything about the cartoon past "A Bridge Too Close." --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 16:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:Either Botcon or Comicon, if I recall. Mentioned that 1 and 2 were already in the can (and we know why now, given the way they're being aired back to back) and that they were taking this all the way.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 16:25, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

== Cast List & Non-Show Characters ==

We have probably reached the point where the cast list on this page should be pruned of characters who haven't actually appeared in the show, like Blurr and Laserbeak. Opinions? [[User:JW|JW]] 17:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
:Well, there is the possiblity of Blurr in Velocity, but I think Laserbeak can go for now. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 18:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::Laserbeak is being planned for S3 apparently [[User:GWolfv2]]
:::Our general rule is that we wait for things to actually happen before putting them in the wiki, n'est-ce pas? [[User:JW|JW]] 19:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::How about Oil Slick? He was designed to be a toy only character. And I have a hunch, so does Jetfire & Jetstrom. Where do we put them? --[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 11:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::They're in [[:Category:Animated characters]] and [[:Category:Toy-only characters]]. That's the way we normally handle toy-only characters. [[User:JW|JW]] 11:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well, toy-only characters might be found under.... oh, I dunno... maybe... [[Animated (toyline)]]? -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 14:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Once again, barring dissent, I'm going to go through the cast list and prune it of characters who haven't ''already appeared'' in the show. That way we don't try to predict who's a toy-only character, and we don't post stuff in advance of official announcements. Toy characters go on [[Animated (toyline)]], and all characters go in [[:Category:Animated characters]], but the cast list is for people who ''have appeared.'' Dissent?

== Criminy ==

Every time a writer or voice actor mentions someone as a "possibility" we have to spend three months removing them from the cast list. Now, it begins for Galvatron and Ratbat. And they're still talking about Waspinator as a "possibility" so we're still dealing with that one.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 23:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Making new pages for episodes...? ==

So I was thinking I would try my hand at actually creating a page and adding some real content. I was gonna do it for Black Friday since it doesn't have a page, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't some rule against doing this for episodes that haven't aired yet, even though they already showed this one at Botcon. --[[User:Rose.T|Rose.T]] 06:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:We have a 30 day moratorium on 'club-exclusive' material. (So people don't just rush here and reach rephrased synopses instead of signing up. Also because if you opt for the cheap shipping your stuff arrives later.) In that instance, the material being 'protected' by the moratorium increases in value (for Fun Pub) because it is protected. Black Friday is not a club exclusive (it was a con exclusive,) refraining from documenting it does not increase its value- or offer any secondary value to people who sign up for the collector's club in the future (unlike other club premiums, future members will never 'get' to watch he episode early again.)
:The Botcon airing of Black Friday doesn't seem to be protected for any of the reasons we normally protect stuff. I'd say 'go ahead' unless someone else voices an objection. -[[User:75.168.112.43|75.168.112.43]] 07:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::I say go for it, just use a spoiler tag. We had synopses for episodes that were essentially Canadian exclusive, at least for a week. - [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 09:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:::No. No spoiler tags in episode articles. If you're too stupid to realize that an article about the episode itself contains spoilers, then nothing can help you. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 10:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm gonna disagree here, just on the off chance that someone clicks "random page" and winds up on the Black Friday page. The spoiler alert will give them time to get somewhere else before seeing something they might not want to. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 11:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I agree with Hooper. Having gone through the BW time when assholes spoiled things left and right in a big HEY I GOTS INSIDE INFO DIG ME douchebaggery festival, I'm all for making sure accidental spoilers don't happen. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::I don't see how that's not accomplished by the navbox at the top that clearly states it's the 26th episode of ''Animated''. Or, y'know, the title. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 14:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::What about the page title "Garbage In Garbage Out" tells me that it's an unaired ''Animated'' episode, instead of some obscure storybook that I've never heard of or old comic book title that I've forgotten about?
