"Entertainment Rights (ER) has secured rights to the new Transformers animated television series from toy giant Hasbro, as well as agreeing a raft of international deals for its key properties following MipTV.
ER now has worldwide (excluding Latin America, North America and certain Asian territories) TV and video-on-demand distribution rights to Transformers (26x30') plus a 70-minute Transformers special. ER now represents four seasons of the show, totaling 154 episodes.
The new series has a good deal of talent onboard, including Sam Register, exec producer of Ben 10, Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and Teen Titans; Vincent Aniceto, line producer (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Power Puff Girls); and Marty Isenberg, head writer (Danny Phantom, A.T.O.M., X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). In addition, Derrick Wyatt, character designer for smash hit Teen Titans, will take the role of lead designer.
The new 2D style that will be the show's trademark harks back to the original 20-year-old cartoon, but according to ER, the new Transformers has a different audience in mind." -C21 Media
The main new information is that there will 154 episodes, plus a 70 minute special.
The new cartoon will also see Worldwide distribution, but as of this point there is no target release date.
Check out the article
here.
AS always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more of the new cartoon details as they come out.
EDIT: It was pointed out by SNIPER SAMURAI and BIGBOT that the 154 episodes and 4 seasons is misrepresented as only the new series. It supposedly meant to represent Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and the new series...
So everyone can wipe the surprised looks, off their faces. It is only 26 episdoes.

Every once in awhile now we have heard little bits of information regarding a new Transformers cartoon. Some of the pieces of information have been rumors that have not yet been confirmed. Now our own Shinobi Rendar has informed us about some new information. The Defiant of
Don Murphy's Message Board posted the following information:
"Okay, so my boss is subscribed to a million and one magazines here in our work at the BBC. One magazine is called "Broadcast" and it has a very interesting front cover... but no details inside.
Basically we have a very TOONAMI-ISH logo (Think Sonic-X, for better or worse...) of a red/blue Transformers logo that says "Transformers Animated." The subtitle reads "More Than Meets The Eye" and says "New Series Coming 2008. 26 x 30 minute Episodes PLUS a 90 minute special."
That's your lot. It doesn't mention "Heroes" or anything but I suspect that it could tie in with the movie due to it being advertised inside this industry magazine... Makes me think it is coming out of budgets/revenue tied into the film and the profile rasising of Transformers that it will inevitably bring about."
The Defiant promises that pictures from the magzine will be posted. You can read the original post by clicking
here.
Update:
An images from the issue of Broadcast Magazine that shows the Transformers Animated logo has made it onto the internet. The image has been posted

The May edition of the Japanese magazine, Dengenki Hobby, is now on newsstands. It is filled with lots of exciting information regarding upcoming Transformers. Read below for translated text and pictures. (All translations were done at Seiberton.com.)
Masterpiece Megatron The great tyrant has arrived. Will be released at the end of March.
Transformers Sports Label
The Transformers Sports Label will be released at the end of April. The first sets of shoes were a collaborated effort with Nike. Nike was their first wave partner; however, partnerships with other sport brands will be done in the future. The shoes are 1:2 scale of the Nike Free 7.0 shoe. The shoes are not wearable. To transform them, you must first unlace them. The soles form the backs of the robots. And in robot mode- Optimus Prime & Megatron both wear the Nike 7.0 shoes themselves. The toys will be boxed in Nike style shoe boxes.
Transformers Movie & Movie Toys
The movie will be released in Japan on August 4, 2007. Advanced movie tickets are now on sale in Japan. For a limited time, if you purchase an advanced ticket you will receive a transforming pen (see photo). Details about the movie characters will be released soon.
The Transformers movie toy products will be available in Japan. This month, the Optimus Prime movie toy is featured. He is modeled after a W900 vehicle. Takara had difficulty designing the movie toys. Typically the designers start from scratch with ideas, transformations, and various modes. But in this case the process was different. The Takara designers were given the movie designs first and then had to engineer the transformations to fit the designs. A different movie toy will be featured in Dengenki Hobby next month.
Transformers Music Label
Soundwave, Frenzy, and Rumble will be released in the middle of July. A miniSD card can be placed is Soundwave’s chest to listen to music.
Rumble and Frenzy will appear white when in their alternate modes; but when they transform into their robot modes – they will retain their G1 color schemes. Rumble & Frenzy can also play music while in their robot.
Binaltech Black Convoy BT-17
The Binaltech eHobby Exclusive, Black Convoy, sold out quickly, early in the morning at the
Tokyo Winter Wonderfest, in February. Also showcased at the conference- KISS Players Cassettes and Masterpiece Megatron.
Beast Wars
Beast Wars first wave has now been released, which includes TM-01 to TM-08. The Beast Wars figures were repainted to closely match their animated counterparts. A greater variety of colors were used and more brush strokes were applied. Takara originally marketed the repainted figures towards children. But now it has become evident that collectors are interested in these particular repaints as well.
Each figure includes a DVD with one Beast Wars episode. The episodes vary. See below for details.
TM-01 Episode #2 “Knock out Destron”
TM-02 Episode #4
TM-03 Episode #5
TM-04 Episode #6
TM-05 Episode #9
TM-06 Episode #10
TM-07 Episode #11
TM-08 Episode #20
Next month TM-09 Rhino, will be released. It will be released at the end of April and will include a DVD with the Episode #3.
Takara Website
Takara has updated its Transformers website. A new feature allows you to access the website through your mobile phone. Use your cellphone to read one of the codes below to directly link to Takara Transformers website.
KISS Players Comic
Each month a KISS Players comic strip is featured in Dengenki Hobby. The short strip often reveals new characters that sometimes get marketed as toys. (The following translations have been summarized and paraphrased in order to make sense.) *Note- Japanese comics read right to left.
Click

(Note it may not be appropriate for young viewers).
Last episode – The KISS Players Melissa, Syao Syao, and Atari were greeted by the mysterious Sparkbots, who transported them back in time.
This Episode:
15 Go Go
Brave Maximus got caught in the time vortex left behind by the Sparkbots. The girls decided to split up in order to help Brave Maximus. Each girl went with a separate Sparkbot. Brave Maximus finally erupted from the time warp 400 million years later. The robots on the planet saw Brave Maximus erupt from the time warp and replied – “I hope he brought us something good”.
Elsewhere, Syao Syao and the Sparkbot, Angela, come face to face with another time traveling robot. Syao Syao screams – “who are you with the scary face!” The mysterious robot replies “I am not scary.” - Stay tuned for next episode.
