New info regarding this new series seems to be pouring in quite frequently, so from now on, I'll just update this first post with any news that surfaces, leaving the rest of the thread open for discussion of said news.

The first image of the upcoming Cartoon Network series TF: Animated has been revealed. Optimus Prime, no less!
If you scroll down, you'll see the Momma's-boys already crying about it, as usual, but I think it looks pretty good. I've always liked the "Samurai Jack" art style (much like the artwork on the Attacktix packages ), and I'm looking forward to this series, no matter how silly the characters may appear to be.

More Autobots revealed!

The original preview poster, featuring only the Autobots, has been updated to reveal the Decepticons!
Preview video featuring the show's intro (I like the what they've done with the theme!), plus you get sneak peaks at some additional characters, such as the Dinobots Black Arachnia, and Arcee! You'll even here Starscream speak! ;D
Images of figures and artwork
One more video, showing a 5 minute clip from an episode. In this, the transformation sound effect can clearly be heard, and at the end of the the clip, what is speculated to be the Matrix is discovered. Overall, the sound quality of the clip is quite poor, but it's nice to see more of this promising new series.
