From Wiki on the series:

Transformers: Heroes

Not much is known except it will air on Cartoon Network in Fall 2007 and takes place in where earth is cohabitated by humans and robots. Also, veteran voice actors from Beast Wars will do the voices. Recently, information on which Transformers will be in the show was announced. Optimus Prime (who will be a fire truck), Megatron, Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus, Prowl, and Starscream are being auditioned. It also should be noted that Optimus Prime will be younger than the other Autobots. This is the first time since Generation 1 with Rodimus Prime that a younger Autobot has served as leader. Recently, David Kaye (best known for voicing the second Megatron) announced that he will provide the voice of Optimus Prime. This is a new experience for him as he has always voiced Megatron in the dubbed shows, while Gary Chalk has voiced Prime and Primal since Beast Wars. The show will be directed by Alex Soto, who directed the Teen Titans TV series, and the character designer, whom of which is unknown, worked on Teen Titans, Foster's, and Legion of Superheroes. Cartoon Network will also help with the production of the show, and this series will have a different look from the Armada/Energon/Cybertron trilogy (and it won't be anime). Instead, will have a brand new look like nothing seen before in Transformers. Recently, rumors are going around saying that Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob Squarepants, will be providing one of the voices in the show.

Cool,nice find.
Can't wait.

 

[Abaddon]

she's a cutie.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Prowl is in it? Oh joy!!!!

However it sounds crappy...

Odds are Tom Kenny will do Bumblebee.

The fact that it won't be anime and the voice cast rumors are very interesting makes me hyped to see this.

Sure as hell sounds better than a series based on the Bayformers universe.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Interesting,a young Prime huh ? and i guess this is where the firetruck rumours started for the movie

 

[zer00]

Sadly this show will probably suck like all the new ones

 

[Avangarde]

Guess I've got to go in without expectations for this one as well...........

From her own admission on her personal website, Tara Strong has informed the public that she will be voicing a character named "Sari" in the upcoming Transformers Cartoon currently referred to as "Heroes".

A quote from her website reads as such:
"Transformers is coming out shortly after the movie release and I predict will be a big hit. I play the only regular girl character, 'Sari.' She's not a Transformer ... just a little girl!"

 

[Nebins]

Sounds cool. I'll definitely be checking it out.

We need Tara Strong, Megan Fox, and Venus Terzo in bikinis and jello

Would've want a serious rework of Gen 1 like the Dreamwave comic series.

I think the IDW reboot would actually be better than a Dreamwave one...

 

[skorponok]

I <3 Rodimus

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I like Rodimus Prime myself actually. Thought he was a great Autobot leader who never got enough credit.

No, he ran the organization right into the ****ing ground.

Now that guy who did that video should be in charge of the new cartoon LOL

I agree 1,000%.

Kup: "Ah don't let it bother you kid, I'd love to be a Goldbug at my old age I feel like a piece of sh**"
Optimus: "Ah haha...and that's exactly who you'll be from now on Kup, Sh**piece"
Kup "Ah I don't know about that..."
Optimus (Talking over him) "Sh**piece, Goldbug organize a strike force"..

 

[Avangarde]

"I have a dream, that a series is animated by IDW"

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Hahaha!Guess you have seen that video too.I loved it.Have you seen the other one's done by the same guy?

 

[Psionic Force]

This should be pretty cool! Been hoping for a decent cartoon to come out again ... Transformers Cybertron sucks!

 

[TheVileOne]

Gary Chalk actually didn't play Prime in Robots In Disguise.

Honestly every Transformers show since the Beast Wars saga has been garbage. Maybe this one will be different. A good one would be nice to reinforce to the Hollywood bunch how it's done.
