Unicron.com has published the second part of their interview with Jeff Kline; the executive producer of Transformers: Robots In Disguise. On this interview, he mentions several things regarding the decision to move the show to Cartoon Network, the crew, the animation and the Premises of the show.

"The motivation behind moving robots in disguise to cartoon network was to put the series in front of more eyeballs right out of the gate; CN is on more cable systems across America than discovery family. But, I have yet heard what its timeslot will be."

"Robots In Disguise is definitely a lighter, more comedic take on the transformers universe. There's no ancient war being fought, meaning we can actually take the time to set-up a joke, and not feel guilty about it. Bee is front and center. Optimus' status is more mysterious than sorrowful. And there's a younger, more inexperienced (aka less battle-weary) cast of characters.

Lighter. Brighter. Even a little goofier. 'Cuz we've always viewed the Autobots (and Decepticons) as people, not machines. And people are funny!"

"Visually, the series is absolutely pushing the boundaries of what is technologically possible when mixing 3D characters with 2D backgrounds. Once again, we're doing all the design work, all the storyboards, etc. In-house… but partnering with our pals at Polygon for the actual animation -- 'cuz those guys are the best there ever was..."

"The bulk of the Robots In Disguise team is the same as the Prime team. And that's by design. I have a very small "circle of trust"..."
