I thought it was just undergoing a name change, but would be back still.

I hope it comes back. It and Prime are two of the best new things on hub right now.
I hope this doesn't effect the figures. I NEEEEEED Scarlet, Duke, Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, and baroness!!! And hasbro, get off your laurels and give us Cyber Jynx with bike!!! Throw it in a wave with ashiko and his bike, and watch them sell like hot cakes!!!

Both were just BS.
And I won't believe a word they say about Generations until I see them still cranking it out come the end of the year (As more than just a one off odd store exclusive here or there).

Animated is more complicated than that. It was going to come back until CN just started axing things left and right. They even let go of Isenberg to make sure season 3 didn't happen like season 2 did. If it was up to CN we would have been done after season 1. So the blame on that falls on CN not hasbro.
Universe did continue, but it got name changed to Generations.

You have to understand one thing though. What hasbro plans now on the team level, can change in a few months because of the higher ups and retailers demanding something different. So say GI Joe 2 sells like wildfire, they'll push more movie toys as that's what retailers want. Same could be said to hasbro and animated. They wanted to do more, but retailers wanted more movie stuff. That's why they still haven't found outlets for the remaining figures. No retail outlet wants exclusives higher than a deluxe, unless it's a multifigure pack. So animated suffered due to CN's wariness, Retailers not supporting it, and hasbro moving on to the hub eventually. That being said though, it mostly falls on CN as Hasbro said they could continue it if they liked. Merchandise or not, CN gets money from ratings. So why they kept trying to axe it is something to ask them. Season 2 only got greenlit because canada's YTV ordered a 13 ep season 2. CN didn't officially order it until it was already made. That right there tells you something fishy was going on with CN. When a canadian outlet orders a new season and gets it made, but normal CN is still stalling? That just doesn't normally happen. Probably one of the reasons Isenberg was let go before the same could happen again with a season 3. CN wasn't in the best place fiscally at the time either after a series of failed ventures they've just recently gotten back on their feet from.

It's a business, plans change to what's making money. That's just the way business is, because the goal of a successful business is to make money.
I do think it'll be odd having GI Joe 2 in theaters without some kind of GI Joe new episode tv fix to help satiate those on the high of going to see or have just seen GI Joe 2, but oh well. So long as the figures still come, I'll be happy.

So hasbro, get cracking on that Cyber-Jynx!!! This time make sure you can fit her and ashiko with bikes in a movie or renegades wave! Just get her and ashiko with bikes to shelves somehow!!!!

Cyber Arashikage RULE!!!!
