TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED

Cartoon Network and Hasbro on Monday announced Transformers Animated, a new 2-D animated series scheduled for a 2008 launch.

According to Cartoon Network, the new series "is a new twist on the original high-octane, animated action-adventure series with new characters alongside legends such as Optimus Prime and Megatron." Each episode will feature a standalone storyline.

Twenty-six half-hour episodes will be produced, as well as a 90-minute special of Transformers Animated, which is scheduled for release in early 2008 on Cartoon Network.

Matt Youngberg is supervising director, Derrick Wyatt will provide character designs and Sam Register will serve as executive producer of the series. Marty Isenberg is head writer.

"We are thrilled to be working with the highly creative team at Cartoon Network on bringing the next chapter in the Transformers saga to kids and fans around the world," said Brian Goldner, Hasbroıs chief operating officer. "The animation style that Cartoon Network has developed really brings the lore and characters of the Transformers franchise alive in a way that has never been seen through animation."

Here's how the network describes the show:

"Set on Earth in the near future in Detroit, the alien Transformers are thrust into a world populated by humans and automatons. As visitors to Earth, the Transformers -- Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl, Bulkhead and Ratchet -- work in the human world, interacting with the 'natives' in exciting and humorous ways. Transformers Animated has been created to showcase the heroic Autobots working together to battle the evil Decepticons and save Earth with kid-relatable plot lines filled with humor, distinctive character personalities and dynamic action."

Hasbro and HPG, its licensing division, will expand the series through toys, games, licensed merchandise and promotions around the world.
