[NICKatronMC]

The idea of the iconically elegant, intelligent and smooth Megatron of this show becoming unhinged and insane is actually a disturbing idea

[prismavoid]

That ending just hits so hard... It's so sad how Derrick never stopped caring about the show, constantly thought up new ideas and concepts, and always wanted to continue the story in some way, but just never got the chance to before his passing.

[williampulfer-melville]

It's a shame that Derrick J Wyatt passed away because his art style would have worked perfectly for a DC animated cartoon or even a cartoon based on Sonic the Hedgehog

[BrodyW]

If I had a nickel for each time Cosmos was cut from a show and would have got his vehicle mode from a b-movie set I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[zphyr]

Now I genuinely want to know how many seasons they wanted to make and how long they would’ve continued the story. How they wanted to properly wrap up the show or what the proper ending would’ve been.

[Insect]

The characters in this show have so much depth it’s crazy and the story is great!!!

[littlemisstfc]

Derrick J Wyatt, Marty Isenberg, the crew and voice actors deserve their roses for managing to bring an amazing Transformers show for many kids in the late 2000s to early 2010s. ✨

I was six years old when this show aired. This was my Generation 1, the reason why I am a passionate Transformers fan today. 🙏🏽 This is one of those special shows where I will happily rewatch over and over and never ever get bored. ✨😊✨

Rest in peace, Derrick. ❤

[ironprime]

If season 4 can ever be a thing I would never be happier

[jackday]

That's so funny to me that Derek really *really* wanted Beachcomber to die and he wanted EVERYONE to see it

[milestinker]

The current theory on TFWiki about Sari's origin (hinted at in the "Continuity notes" section of the "Trial of Megatron, Part 1" article) is that she's possibly a time-displaced Maximal protoform from the future, since in the TFNation presentation of that episode, her protoform was noted by Isaac Sumdac as being much smaller than those from which Autobots and Decepticons are born, her protoform was shown to have scanned Sumdac himself back in the flashback shown in "TransWarped, Part I" (meaning her protoform scanned an organic lifeform rather than a machine in order to acquire an organic altmode instead of a mechanical one), and a line from Prowl's ghost from inside the AllSpark says to Sari, "You are the key... to the future of Cybertron... and Earth."

Although, that last line could instead be taken to suggest that she's simply the first protoform of a new generation yet to come, the "first Maximal" so to speak, rather than her protoform having literally come from the future

[TheDigitalApple]

Even years after the show ended, Derrick J. Wyatt continued to craft and expand the lord of Transformers: Animated even until his finals days.
He is a man that deserves to be honored by Hasbro and I hope it’s either through an anniversary celebration for TFA, or even better a season 4 with all the ideas the crew had while coming up with the canceled season and new toys to boot!

[foxyplayz]

Hasbro when a TF show is planned for a 4th season: Heavy breathing

[shyguygaming]

45:52 I don’t think Lugnut betraying Megatron because of the reactor would make sense because Lugnut jumped into the reactor of his own free will while yelling something along the lines of “For the glory of Megatron!”

[acemarvel]

Derrick J Wyatt forged a treasure of both anime and cartoon in unison forged of both the heavens and the earth
A shining light upon our darkest skies we will proudly remember

[ToaDrakua]

I could see a proper season 4 being a mix of the two different ideas they had, starting with the Predacon threat before transitioning back to Megatron by the season finale, with his escape from Cybertron. He could have had reoccurring interactions with Sentinel, planting ideas in his head that lead to the implementation of Megatron's means of escape.

[ijustwatchvideosandleaveco]

Glad to see the fandom somewhat still active

[KanuKanu]

So basically TF Prime was the reason for no season 4... dang
Edit: I don't hate prime i actually love the show, don't get the wrong idea.

[nicholascapeheart]

Hearing about Trukk Vs Munky, Mirror Mirror, and Bumble Prime makes me even more sad that TFA didn't get a season four
(The idea of Galvatron being ruler of a Post Unicron war cybertron sounds Sick as all hell, and the Art done for it By Josh Perez is AWESOME!!)

[KaonPrime]

I think the most unrealistic part of this is a combined Devastator toy only being $50

[BrodyW]

Apparently Marty Isenberg said Beachcomber survived his attack from Blackout and he was going to get the axe again in a supposed fifth season. Bro is the Dirge of Transformers Animated
