Hasbro, IDW Comics and Machinima are partnering to make a Transformers cartoon series that "for the first time ever, is specifically designed for the teen and adult fans."
IDW's Transformers line of comics has been making waves in the past couple years for introducing female characters to a universe that canonically contained only "genderless" robots that coincidentally presented as male. What began with popular fan-created character Windblade (below) and her bodyguard Chromia has expanded with the Combiner Wars story arc, which recently introduced the franchise's first female combiner (a character formed from several others, well, combined).

I wonder if they could do this for TMNT, it was mentioned at the IDW TMNT panel that there was plans for a undisclosed project If IDW TMNT is popular enough then Nick would take more interest and they can do more things like a new series or direct to video story.
