Transformers: Super Hero Legends

Transformers: Super Hero Legends is an upcoming animated series based on the shape-changing robot toy line, Transformers and the Marvel Super Hero Squad action figure line from Hasbro and the Shogun Warriors toyline by Mattel. It will be the first North American-produced Transformers series since Beast Wars (and by extension, its sequel Beast Machines, both of which were produced in Canada) and is a modern take on the Marvel universe. The series is currently scheduled to debut on the Cartoon Network in Spring 2008. There have been 26 episodes ordered so far.
