Cartoon Network has recently announced they are expanding their Toonomi program block by one hour to 5pm -7pm weekdays. They are also adding the Transformers Armada cartoon to the line up as one of two new series they will be offering. After the extremely successful run of Robots in Disguise on FOX Kids, Hasbro is moving Transformers to the Cartoon Network as reported in a story on
Toon Zone.
The story reads:
"After months of speculation and pleas from fans, Cartoon Network announced yesterday at an upfront sales presentation in New York that Toonami will be expanding this fall. The block, which currently runs weekdays from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM, will gain an additional hour, airing from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Prompting this expansion is the addition of two brand new series to the Toonami lineup: "Transformers: Armada" and "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." Both series are based on exciting new toylines from Hasbro and Mattel, respectively."
