For those following the other new Transformers Cartoon out this year, or have youngens you are trying to brainwash into the fandom, the Rescue Bots will have a preview screening in America (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-rescue-bots-sneak-peek-airs-saturday-december-17th/23242/) on Hasbro's Hub channel from midday on the 17th of December.

Voice talents include: Steve Blum (voice of Starscream on “Transformers Prime”), John DiMaggio (voice of Bender on “Futurama”), Maurice LaMarche (voice of Morbo and Calculon on “Futurama”), Lacey Chabert ("Party of Five") and LeVar Burton (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”).

The series will then begin airing (in America) early 2012.

(As of last month, Hasbro AUS didn't have any definite plans for getting the series here... but wouldn't be "funny" if a free-to-air channel got this cartoon, but the main cartoon is hidden away on pay TV.)

I reckon if anyone picked this up here, it'd be ABC3- it seems like the best fit for children's programming of that level.

It's a pity they didn't get Frank Welker in to do Blades, since they've gone for Cullen with Prime.

So Rescue Bots gets a cartoon, but Classicsverse still doesn't. Okay. :(

Oh yes, I remember seeing all the Classicsverse in the G1 cartoon now. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Grimlock, Onslaught, Rodimus, Ramjet, Jetfire, Darkmount, Drift... :p

A promo image has been released (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-transformers-ruscue-bots-promo-image/23327/), for the upcoming screening (in America) of the new Rescue Bots cartoon.
Looks like they've softened up the black of Chase and his partner, to give them a more kid-friendly blue.
