"Transformers: Armada," "He-Man" Join Toonami This Fall

[Vin]

After months of speculation and pleas from fans, Cartoon Network announced yesterday at an upfront sales presentation in New York that Toonami will be expanding this fall. The block, which currently runs weekdays from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM, will gain an additional hour, airing from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.

Prompting this expansion is the addition of two brand new series to the Toonami lineup: "Transformers: Armada" and "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." Both series are based on exciting new toylines from Hasbro and Mattel, respectively.

This expansion of Cartoon Network's Toonami block will most likely mean the death of the Kids' WB!'s version.
