Revenge of the Fallen was released in the US on June 24, 2009 - one month after Animated ended. If anything, it was the popularity of the LAM series that killed Animated.

I woulda sworn Animated ended in december of '08. still, one year of what we had been told was a five year series is rediculous.

...but when you use language and phrasing like that, you're implying that Hasbro purposely tanked the production of Animated in favor of another show. I don't believe this is the case, as Animated was done at least a full year before the Hub and TF:Prime.

And it's not like Prime was just waiting in the wings. The staff of that show have said in interviews that the first couple of episodes were rushed because they had a hard deadline to meet (Nov. 2010, when the preview aired). Why would they have to rush the first few episodes if they were already planning this back in 2008-9?

No, you're putting words in my mouth.
What I'm implying is exactly what I said.
You don't just start up a network on the spur of the moment. They had the inklings of what would become the Hub when Animated was still in production. Once they cemented that they were going to go alhead with the hub, they had to make a decision to try to buy up all of animated and transplant it, leave their flagship brand on another network, or kill it and replace it with a new series they have full control over.
They did not go "Hey, We've got this new idea called "Prime," lets get rid of animated for it."
No, like I said, that's just silly and almost insulting to say I imply that.
What I'm implying is exactly what happened. Animated was cancelled so Hasbro could bring their flagship brand home, and not have anyone else have any say in it, as Animated would have. They found it cheaper to cut it loose and start from scratch.

As for Saban, I did not know that. You know if Digimon still remains with Disney?
