Season 3 of Animated airing Saturday mornings

Just switched on channel ten this morning, 7:30am. First episode.

Yeah I was surprised about that this morning.
But is it jus me or did it go for a lot shorter than a normal episode should have?
Still though was good to finally see the new characters in action (I havnt seen any on YouTube)

That's quite amazing news!

If it's like the previous screenings on channel 10 it may have been edited down to fit in more commercials.

Season 3? Really? According to Hasbro at the Toyfair, we weren't supposed to get them until spring, and second season was supposed to be on a repeat schedule at the moment.
It means we are only like 5 episodes behind the Americans. Pity about having Ch 10 cutting bits out like usual.

i just watch it on youtube...it may look a bit grainy but at least i get to watch it all...

I usually download the American airings too for the very reason I can't stand the butchering it gets here. I am glad it's airing though, will keep the brand name alive up until the movie hits.

What's more is that Channel 10 is airing episodes before CN, who are the creators of the show.... that does not make sense to me. Someone on Seibertron mentioned that 10 is cutting each episode in half (don't know how bad they are also 'editing' them) so there is only 10 minutes of an episode on per weekend...

That's ridiculous. Can't Hasbro do anything about Channel 10 butchering the eps that badly? At this rate they're more like extended episode previews rather than a proper broadcast. The entire point of making the episodes 20 minutes long is to give 10 minutes for ad breaks anyway, so by cutting that in half doesn't that mean that they're broadcasting 20 minutes of commercials?!? (o_O)

I think it reflects really poorly on the franchise and the show would fail to adequately engage a lot of kids thus effecting its performance to market the toyline. So if I were Hasbro I wouldn't be happy about Channel 10 butchering the episodes that extensively. What's the point of giving the licence to Ten to air the eps if they're just gonna air bits of them? GGRRR!
