Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Autobots and Decepticons ‘Roll Out’ on Cartoon Network in First Quarter of 2016
BURBANK, C.A. – January 13, 2015 – Hasbro Studios,
the Los Angeles-based entertainment division of Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:
HAS), announced today that the popular kids television series
Transformers: Robots in Disguise will return for a second season
on Cartoon Network in the U.S., which consistently ranks as a top-rated
network in Total Day for kids ages 6-11. The latest installment in the
global TRANSFORMERS franchise will debut its
second season in the first quarter of 2016.
“Transformers: Robots in Disguise continues to be a
massive hit with kids across the country, launching with an outstanding
debut season on Cartoon Network,” said Hasbro’s Executive Vice
President and Chief Content Officer Stephen Davis.
“Season two will bring back Bumblebee and his Autobots team for all new
action-packed battles, fun-filled adventures and other humorous new
characters with vibrant personalities that made season one a hit with
kids. We continue to listen to our viewers’ feedback
and are bringing back many fan-favorite characters, as well as some
great surprises we know kids of all ages are going to love.”
Set years after “Transformers: Prime,” Robots in Disguise
stars the lovable Bumblebee character, summoned by Optimus Prime to
lead in a fight to save Earth from a new faction of escaped Decepticon
prisoners by assembling a
rogue team of unlikely Autobot heroes to capture their new enemies.
Season two will see the return of a more confident, battle-tested
Bumblebee as the leader of the Autobots, including his teammates
Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Fixit, Windblade and Drift.
Protecting Earth becomes a mighty task as the team prepares to battle
against menacing pairs of Cyclone Mini-Cons, who partner with Deployers
to unleash the most powerful attacks and wreak even more destruction
than ever. Our hero Bumblebee and his team prepare
for battle with new power-ups and mini-con allies of their own, as they
maintain their mission to protect the planet as robots in disguise.
The series will continue to celebrate the continuous underlying themes
of teamwork, companionship and the importance
of standing up to wrongdoers.

of the largest global brands, spanning across television, film,
