Animated was not dropped in favor of TF: Prime. They are two completely unrelated situations. Animated ended in 2009 and Prime didn't start until 2010 (same year the Hub debuted).

Granted, Hasbro isn't Disney, Transformers isn't Star Wars, and there is the one exception to the trend (Super Hero Squad).

In the case of Transformers, the ownership of the IP never changed hands (unlike Star Wars and Marvel).

Also, the SHS toyline was created by Hasbro, so technically Disney/Marvel isn't really sharing the profits with anyone new by having it air on the Hub (except maybe DCI. Depends on the deal Hasbro made with them regarding the Hub).

I think Disney would probably sooner cut it loose and start from scratch, than spend more money to bring it over.

I do hope you're right, and that I'm worrying needlessly.

I guess it really depends on Disney's relationship with Cartoon Network (and its parent company, Time-Warner). I don't see a reason for them to cancel it now, but I also felt the same way about Avengers EMH and look how that turned out.
