The creator of an unreleased animated Micronauts series has revealed that he doesn’t know what happened to the show after it was completed over four years ago and has asked Hasbro for answers.
Rogers is also the creator of Angry Birds Mystery Island and Skylanders Academy and has written for other animated series like Futurama and Teen Titans Go!.
“By the way… I just want ONE PERSON at Hasbro to tell me what their plan is,” headded. “It’s almost 5 years since we finished. Tell me you canned it. It’s a tax write-off. You lost it on the train like the Beastie Boys did with HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE PT 1. But… nothing? Yeah… no.”
Micronauts originated in the ’70s as (you guessed it) small action figures – around 3 inches in height. Several comic book series based on the figures have also been published over the years, including byMarvel Comicsand Image Comics.
