No, it's not a "remake" of G1 any more than Armada, Robots in Diguise and Beast Machines was.

The new show is being called Transformers: Heroes (working title, 99% likely to change).

The good news is...NO MORE OUTSOURCING!!!!!

The show will be written by AMERICANS for the first time since Beast Machines. Additionally, the cast will be comprised of AMERICANS and not Canadians, for the first time sine Robots in Disguise. Tara Strong and Tom Kenny have already been secured and I've heard that David Kaye has been signed on as Optimus (not Megatron).

All we know about the story is that it might possibly take place in Earth's future and is a reboot (not connected to the previous Unicron Trilogy). Optimus will supposedly by a lot younger than previous depictions and won't start out as the leader, but will gradually develope as one.

I've seen some commissioned artwork for the show and it looks kind of...bizarre. Still, very refreshing after 5 years of bland anime. I heard the animation team for the show might be Mook (who rock), but that's unconfirmed.

I'm really looking forward to the show. The shear fact that its NOT JAPANESE is enough to get me excited.
