Fellow Seibertron user TransBat saw something strange while looking at his netflix Instant Queue and wanted to give a heads up to those fans who may have wanted to watch their Transformers related media on Netflix while they could.

I noticed this morning when I logged into Netflix and examined my Instant Queue, the Transformers G1, Transformers: Rescue Bots, Transformers Prime/Beast Hunters (although not the Predacons Rising movie), and other shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and JEM are scheduled to leave/expire on January 1, 2015.

I realize this could just be a tentative expiration date and a new contract could be negotiated with Hasbro/Netflix before the date arrives, but thought I'd provide a heads up.

TransBat is probably right in his deduction that this is just a tentative expiration date and that the rights to the show will be renewed. But you never know, and we wouldn't want fans to miss out on these shows if ever they truly are to be removed come January.

Thanks to Seibertron member Sabrblade who spotted a twitter conversation between Chris Mcfeely and Story Editor Nicole Dubuc who has confirmed that Transformers Rescue Bots season 3 will be 26 episodes. That will make Rescue Bots the second longest running Transformers cartoon behind the original G1 cartoon which had 98 episodes. If renewed for a full 4th season, Rescue Bots will take its place at the top.

Chris McFeely wrote:@NicoleDubuc Just wondering, how many episodes long is Rescue Bots s3? 26 as usual, or 13?

Nicole Dubuc wrote:@chrismcfeely 26.

Chris McFeely wrote:@NicoleDubuc HUZZAH! Did you know that makes it the second-longest-running Transformers cartoon behind the original?

Nicole Dubuc wrote:@chrismcfeely COOL! How many episodes did G1 have?

Chris McFeely wrote:@NicoleDubuc 98. A full-length fourth season of Rescue Bots would take it over the top!

Nicole Dubuc wrote:@chrismcfeely Something to aspire to then! Thanks!
