Cartoon

Transformers Animated is the latest Cartoon Network Transformers show. Most of the characters are based on characters of other generations, such as Wasp/Waspinator. The show debuted on December 26, 2007. The cartoon is provided and produced by Cartoon Network, Studio 4C, and Mook, The Answer Studio. It sees several voices from G1, such as David Kaye.

Overview
Animated is based on adventures of a small Autobot Space Bridge maintenance crew who follows a warp gate to Detroit. They are forced to battle top Decepticon lieutienants and super-powered human criminals on Earth. This series follows the storylines of the Unicron Trilogy and Beast Wars. Most days on Earth the autobots are either battling Decepticons or a human villian.

The series isn't a live-action movie sequel, but it references much to the movie. These establish connection points to help kids who haven't seen G1.

Animated includes many homages to Transformers series in the before time. Shockwave, Blurr, and Rodimus Prime are voiced by their G1 actors. Beast Wars' homages are Blackarachnia and Waspinator. The Great War is over, but a new battle will begin on Earth.
