Someone will probably make an online comic of it at some point. Much like how Sonic SATAM fans made a season 3 online comic.

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

The way I see it, their original season 4 idea sounds way better than what Hasbro forced them to work with. With the way season 3 ended, a plot on cybertron and techno-organic predacons seems like the most logical continuation. It would be interesting if maybe Blackarrachnia decided to force all of Cybertron to become techno-organic and "suffer" the same way she's suffered. At the same time Sari would have to combat the derogatory attitude of autobot society toward her techno-organic nature. I could imagine an interesting duality between them. Sari's attempts to befriend other autobots would fruitless due to Blackarrachnia's attacks. And while Optimus and Sentinel are both bickering about how to defeat Blackarrachnia, I could see that in a final battle between the autobots and predacons Sari would manage to talk Blackarrachnia out of her vengeance. She could show her that attacking the autobots will never get them to accept her and that she needs to take a different approach. It's 3:00 AM right now and I might come back to add to this later. Goodnight y'all.

Honestly, considering that Season 4 was going to be heavily mandated by Hasbro to promote the toy sales, fans should be wary of the Monkey's Paw. Season 4 only sounds great because it was in the middle of brainstorming ideas that sound awesome on paper. But knowing Hasbro, that Devastator episode would have been scrapped for not promoting viable toys on the market and a whole other stuff would have been changed by the time Season 4 is finalized and ready to air. I feel that the actual end product would have been seen as Animated trying to ride on the movie's success rather than be its own thing, which is really where Animated shines.

Derrick and Marty's original season 4 ideas sound amazing. Cybertron being the main setting, Blackarachnia as the main antagonist and trying to make everything techno-organic like her, the Dinobots clashing with Devastator, the Time Trucker with Elita 1 leading the Autobots and Optimus as a techno-organic in a different future, and Megatron manipulating events in prison to ensure his return. However, I also think Hasbro had some really great ideas too, Marauder Megatron and Powermaster Optimus Prime for example, and I'm still hoping that there's a way where all those ideas can be combined into one big tribute to Derrick.

Personally, I think that the best way to make Megatron go bonkers would be for him to kill Blitzy, either on purpose or by accident, and then have whatever was secretly possessing Blitz, causing him to go mad and become a triplechanger, to then be transfered to Megs. It would give him an interesting relationship to himself, trying to be the voice of reason against this otherwise chaotic influence. This would all culminate in the voice getting a body of its own and become something... ungodly. *If you know, you know.*

Perhaps in Gremlins in the Gears, the minicons running the prison would have gone on a destructive rampage in Detroit thinking that all of the technology there was actually a bunch of escaped prisoners (possibly all Megatron since it was all reverse-engineered by Sumdac from Megatron's body) and so they go about resolving the "breakout", which simply entails mercilessly attempting to deconstruct the "escapees", and this clues Megatron on a flaw in the minicons which he can take advantage of so they do his bidding for the remainder of the season.

That's a really cool idea.

What's interesting is Hasbro is actually aware of fans wanting a 4th season so it's not like they're oblivious towards it. You never really know, Hasbro could be waiting for the right time to announce and build up hype. Recently they've gone back to the Beast Wars era, this here shows they're willing to head back through previous eras of Transformers. This makes me have faith that a continuation of TFA is still possible by the mid 2020s or so.

Can we get Blackarachnnia be the main villain and maybe, maybe Prime wining her back? Hasbro: Nah, bayformers or else.

I didn't realize today was the 15th year anniversary. What a great coincidence, as today I picked up an Animated Grimlock I bought a week ago.

If I can someday have some kind of influence in the transformers world, I'd resurrect transformers animated in a heartbeat. This show was my entire childhood and I wanted it to go for 5 or 6 seasons back then. I genuinely think it could definitely go for another 3 seasons nowadays. We have the designs and the art style which can very easily be followed and the toys would definitely be successful even now. Maybe I'm just a hopeful fan boy, but I genuinely think now TFA could be as great as transformers prime. Animated can come back once again, I promise you it can.

What made me sad is not a lot of publishers/writers dared to justify Megatron's actions or invest deeper into why he is the way he is. And instead always opt for the generic, big bad of the week. I remember reading Shattered Glass and that was amazing, hell, even Transformers: Armada did this and it was great.

Shows like this made my childhood. Those days me & my siblings quickly come home & watch TF animated. Glad to see that this show is still loved by many.

cannot believe it's been 15 years already

If it wasn't Primus, and it wasn't Megatron, then Sari was probably spawned by Unicron. Who else would have the power necessary to create such an odd cybertronian life form, who for all we know is unique among her species? Here is my reasoning: you mentioned that there would have been an episode which took place after the Unicron Wars. That means Unicron would have been canon in Animated. I believe it is possible that Sari could have been an unknowing sleeper agent (maybe one among many) sent out and designed to adapt and assimilate to the local civilization while acting as a beacon of sorts to allow Unicron to find planets fit for consumption. Of course, Sari would have no idea. I do not think this is too far fetched given that Unicron's creations are not always inherently evil, as seen with the minicons in Armada. It is just my personal theory, but to me it makes perfect sense if Primus and Megatron are already scratched off the list of potential origin points. Think about it: Sumdac finds this random protoform that nobody claims or knows anything about? It screams some sort of plant. A plant to draw someone or something to someplace.

It really sucks that all these ideas never made it to fruition. Thanks for sharing what could've been.

If I was able to revive Transformers: Animated, here's what I would do: 1. I would leave Season 4 exactly as planned. 2. Make a Fifth Season based on what the Writers originally intended for season 4, where it takes place mostly on Cybertron and Blackarachnia and the predacons are the villains. 3. Make a Sixth and final season revolving around Unicron and Galvatron.

I say, when the Transformers license for IDW expires, we campaign who ever gets it next to make a comic continuation. Or campaign IDW if they manage to hold on

I hate that people with great ideas for a show always have to bend things or outright remove them cause of the corporate idiots who have no idea what they're doing. I get they want toys to show up in the shows so kids will buy them, but lets be real, kids'll buy anything. The amount of "movie" transformers I got that never actually showed up in the movies at all was nuts, just cause I thought they looked cool. Edit: What I really don't get is if Hasbro were willing to have human characters, prominent human villains, and other characters that just never got toys, why couldn't the writers have done things like beast characters and combiners? Ignoring that Blackarachnia and Waspinator got figures (I think Waspinator got one anyway) they could have done these beast characters and combiners and Hasbro wouldn't _have_ to make figures for them if they didn't want to.

TFA Season 4 naturally always had a mystique to it, and I feel like that only increases knowing that all of these are just what could have been, and not necessarily what *would* have been considering the nature of a lot of what we consider "Season 4" content came long after the show wrapped production. Anyway, going through all your TFA vids now, and I really want to commend the amount of research you put into this and the fact that you also reached out to the writers to uncover more information and fanartists to bring the concepts to life. That all sounds like it must have been a bit daunting, but it really paid off here. I kind of felt like we all should just give Season 4 a rest and move on, both out of respect for Derrick after his passing and because I know that if TV creators break NDA or talk about stuff in this much detail they can't really use any of it. But if the other writers are still interested in continuing it in some way... yknow what, why not? It's really unbelievable how many people TFA touched and how its made its mark on both the fandom and the franchise. I think the best thing most of us can do is just show our appreciation for it; dust off our collections, draw and commission fanart of our robot blorbos, cosplay and talk about it at cons. I never really know how to wrap up longer comments like these, but I don't think the "legend" will ever really die.

I saw the 3 videos that on KZread that showed the first 3 episodes with the dialogue but the actors had no filter on. It was weird to hear some of the actors voices without the filters. But it didn't change my enjoyment. Edit: 30 likes? Am I that special?

Sentinel sounded the most normal without a filter.

Underrated show in my book. The animation was pretty good for Cartoon Network standards, and I loved the majority of the character designs. The setting was decent, but I feel like the show in general had wasted potential. For one, we never got an actual new team member for the Earthbound Autobots until literally the final battle when Jazz and Arcee joined them. We were always so close whenever someone new was introduced like Wreck-Gar, Mixmaster, Scrapper, Blurr, or the Dinobots, but something would always go wrong that prevented this, and some of these guys either nearly joined the Decepticons or completely joined the Decepticons. I will say I liked how there were more than just Decepticons for the bad guys like Meltdown, Nanosec, Angry Archer, or Slow-Mo, but they hardly did anything with these alternative villains.

🎄🎁☃️I love them all! Future Bumblebee/Bumble Prime and Future Sari Sumdac looks so super cool! Best Christmas present ever! 😍

It'd have been great to being in team Athenia and Team Chaar for more exposure.

54:58 Fanzone and Isaac Sumdac being there is kinda funny, as they kinda would get in the way... Then again, in a Last battle of that level, they'd be armed to the teeth by that time.

Honestly I'd take the series coming back in comic form at this point.

Says a lot I don't see nearly as many people looking into Prime's unused ideas

I was straight up obsessed with this show when I was in middle school. This, fullmetal alchemist, and inuyasha were my whole personality back then omg

Someone should ask Marrty Isenburg if he can finally reval what exactly was Sari's origin. It is the only option left after all.

11:38 Optimus Prime: This feels familiar…

I love how no episode feels wasted. EVERY episode feels like it is important to the franchise in one way or another, wether it be introducing characters, fleshing theme out, or advancing the plot. No other show I have ever watched is like that.

oh fuck yeah baby new keyan carlile transformers video

I miss this show forever and ever

It would’ve been freakin’ sweet if there were combiners in that next season.

I've recently been re watching this iteration of the show. It's always a bit sad to know not everything was wrapped up. Like Blackaracknia not being cured.

46:58 oh hey beast machines megatron, nice

I will always be someone who grew up with the Aligned Continuity and Prime in particular so naturally I have my more biased moments. But man alive can I appreciate everything about what came right before it. In a sense Animated really did sacrifice itself for what would become a great show and one of the most memorable eras from Transformers with Prime. So it's fitting just how different they were and yet how much animated contributed to many shows and media going forward. And while I'll never wish to have trade Prime for Animated season 4 and feel a bit hurt for those of you who do, I certainly don't blame you because animated was different. It felt different, it wasn't like anything else that came before it. And we've never seen anything like it ever again. And sadly we probably never will. But then again if there's anything I learned from Prime and the Aligned Continuity it's that there is always a capacity for change. We might not always like it. And it won't come without sacrifice. And no one is ever really ready for it. But the way we adapt and respond to said change has the potential to make our lives more amazing than we could ever imagine. This show certainly changed the Transformers Franchise forever. But what's important is that we continue to change long after it stopped. And now we all can transform our lives, each other, and our world in whatever way we so choose. And make our lives a little brighter and animated. Here's to Earthspark and some other future Continuity someday finishing what Animated started. I don't think we'll be disapointed.

I can’t thank you enough for bringing all this information to light and keeping this fandom alive! This and your storyboards have all inspired me to put together my own imagining of Season 4.

Not gonna lie, after that heart wrenching ending, I'm hoping for a video that covers possible theories/answers as to what Sari Sumdac's true origin was in Transformers Animated as a tribute to Derrick's most mysterious character

I love this show

It’s a shame that we never got animated season 4 but if we had we never would’ve got tf prime Out of those 2 shows I’d choose prime any day of eternity

35:30 loving Invader Zim theme in the background ^^

Maybe if Rise of the Beasts brings back the brand big time we could see a return on Paramount Plus for Animated. Pipe Dream, but a man can dream

i love TFA and TF prome but dammit that 4th season looks amazing

I like the idea of the colors of cheap knockoff toys being the color palettes for the shattered glass characters.

I love that you put my favorite autobot, Cosmos, with the theme song from my favorite show, Invader Zim

am i hallucinating, or was that "Beachcomber scene" containing something that looked like Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine but Cybertronized?

I think all of these episodes would be incredible stories. Yeah, some of them seem pretty stupid, but I think they can work. I wouldn't even mind if Megatron took a back seat and let Blackarachnia and the Predacons as the villains. Regardless, I wish TF animated got a 4th season. All of these ideas I'd love to see.

Animated wasn't afraid to get a little silly, but I felt its darker and more serious moments worked way better than Prime and later shows
