Don’t Bother Watching The Hub on October 10th
Hasbro’s channel The Hub will premiere on October 10th. You know what won’t premiere on October 10th? Either Transformers: Prime or G.I. Joe: Renegades. I’m not particularly surprised, since Hasbro had so little of either series to show at SDCC this year, but I’m surprised they waited this long to admit the bad news. Oh well. Now, I read somewhere that Hasbro plans on showing classic Transformers and G.I. Joe for now, but I can’t find any confirmation of it, so take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully it will keep you fed until one of these shows actually shows up. (Via ToyNewsI)
