Good news for those of you who have always wanted to check out Transformers Prime but have not been able to because you cannot get The Hub – Transformers Prime is set to start airing on the CW Network’s Vortexx block on December 8. No timeslot given as yet, but Vortexx is CW’s Saturday morning cartoon slot.
Check your listings nearer the time to see what the timeslot is then tune in and enjoy!

I just saw the commercial, it's 9AM over here in southern California. Sadly I won't be able to watch it as I'm out of the house.

Confirming that Transformers Prime airs on CW's Vortexx at 9 am (it just coming on now).
I'm Central. Easter, Mountain & Pacific, sound off so we can confirm if it's 9 am across the Country or simultaneously.
& in case people weren't sure, it is starting from the beginning.

Just checked http://myvortexx.com/show_schedules, & December 8th is now posted… Except there's nothing listed for 9 am. I assume that's where Prime will be, possibly everywhere, since that is what sources have said in different Time Zones. But it's odd that Prime & 9 am aren't even listed.
For anyone who cares, it looks like it replaced Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

My research into 4Kids' bankruptcy wasn't clear w/ how it was broken up (aside from how the shows were handled). All I know is Saban got some portion of 4Kids' holdings. If Prime ends up badly butchered, I'd attribute that to Saban keeping some of the screw ups at 4Kids on hand. Hopefully, Saban was intelligent & airs Prime untouched… & let the abomination that was 4Kids die off completely.
I did find that Konami reclaimed Yugioh, & for the most part it looks like Saban got the majority of everything else, which makes the statement that "Saban bought 4Kids" close enough.

I took a look and Saban didn't actually buy the company. They just bought their assets (aside from YuGiOh, which Konami acquired), and their block on CW.
Keith Prime
I don't expect them to either, but I said I wouldn't put it past 4Kids, if anything remains (a stupid prospect if there ever was one).
This is, possibly, the remnants of the same company that edited every single gun in the original Yugi-oh into walkie-talkies.

I doubt they edited the Vehicons getting slagged each week. They're generic mooks.
Cliffjumper….yeah that'll be something i could possibly see getting edited.
Keith Prime
Yon didn't everything carefully, did you?
Saban BOUGHT 4Kids (or some of it), & 4Kids ran the CW cartoon block (so, by buying what they did of 4Kids, they took over the CW's Saturday Morning Cartoon block, which Saban called Vortexx).
Btw, most or all of that was discussed earlier in the thread (I mentioned it in the first post!). I have no obligation to go back over stuff already discussed in this thread, especially when I was one of the people pointing it out to begin with.
My statement was that if they edit Prime (especially if they edit out CJ & Vehicon deaths, which 4Kids is known for screw ups like that), they might not have replaced 4Kids, but just taken over ownership, letting the 4kids staff do what they were/ want. & that would be beyond stupid.

saban own my vortexx

Just saw a commercial w/ a time: 9 am (I'm Central, but the commerical wasn't marked). Though, around here, sometimes CW commercials are an hour off, so it could be either 9 am Easter/ 8 Central, or 9 am across the country.
If it were still 4Kids (& if this happens, I'll assume Saban, ******edly, kept the 4Kids staff &/ or policies), I wouldn't put it past them to completely edit out Cliffjumper's death, zombification & redeath… They could also remove all instances of Vehicon deaths, which is at least as stupid.

Eastern Standard time.
I can't see why they wouldn't air the full episodes…
Dolza_Khyron
i wonder if it will be played in full, or edited for content.
Keith Prime
Looks like you're first. Mind supplying a Timezone, so everyone can figure out their local time?
Autovolt 127
Well That's great. Now we can all enjoy Prime and TMNT.
Ravenxl7
Not sure if any of the other guides have updated, but mine is now showing Transformers Prime Darkness Rising part 1 at 9:00am on the 8th. It's good to know it won't be interfering with watching Nick's TMNT on Saturday mornings.
Edit: Picture for anyone needing proof…
Keith Prime
I just realized that Zap2It should have Dec. 8th's schedule up… it does, but still doesn't show Prime. However, myvortexx.com has updated to include Prime (& December 8th) in one of the changing images at the top of the main page… Still not listed in their TV Schedule area, though. @_@
Since there is a Saturday in between, I'd assume the Vortexx site would update, to completely include Prime, sometime next week.

Can't you get a better cable service? Teletoon is the absolute best.
Oberoniss
Sweet, I get that channel on basic cable. It's about time.
Steevy Maximus
Probably depends on region
CW is a basic broadcast channel, meaning if you get the Hub, you probably get CW in some form. But because it is a broadcast channel, YMMV as to WHICH channel it is on (or if it even HAS a dedicated channel, I know back in the day, my local NBC affiliate would run UPN programming at odd hours).
