Word from an Asian corporate event for TV licensing says that the Robots in Disguise cartoon will only have two seasons, and the second season will be shorter with only 16 episodes, plus a 3-part finale "movie" like TFPrime finished with.

That will result in 42 regular episodes, or 45 if the 3-part finale is split up for regular TV broadcasting.


What do people think?
Will you miss it, or didn't have any interest in it to begin with and can't wait for a new show in a couple years time?


It seems strange that the series is only lasting two years, as this one seemed to be aimed at the younger demographic that are the primary recipient of Transformers toys... at least, compared to the darker, more serious/mature TFPrime cartoon.
TFPrime wasn't really for the younger kids who are more likely to get toys as gifts, so I think it ended up missing the point of being a toyline cartoon, which is to market to your intended customers.
The RID cartoon also had better TV coverage than TFPrime, here and in America, as we had the RID cartoon on free-TV at the same time as America, and America had it on a more mainstream channel, as the HUB channel had a significantly smaller number of subscribers than Cartoon Network.

For me, I'm disappointed that it is ending so soon because it will probably mean that we won't see too many more Decepticon toys (who are already light in numbers), as Hasbro would already be working on the next cartoon toyline... which might come out in 2018, as 2017 will have their marketing focused on the TF5 Movie toys.
