Eric Rogers revealed on X/Twitter that he created and completed 52 episodes of an animated Micronauts series by January 2020, but Hasbro hasn't disclosed plans for the series. Fans fear it may have been scrapped similarly to other completed projects like Batgirl for tax write-offs. Despite uncertainty, sources suggest Hasbro might still release the series alongside a potential live-action Micronauts film or TV show. The original Micronauts toy line, launched by Mego Corporation in the '70s, has seen attempts at adaptations over the years, including a 2019 live-action film directed by Dean DeBlois, but none have materialized yet due to various internal shuffles within Hasbro.
Is the Micronauts animated series entirely canceled?No, the Micronauts animated series has not been completely canceled. There is a possibility it might still be released in the future, potentially alongside a live-action Micronauts film or TV series.
Micronauts, a toy line from Mego Corporation produced between 1976 and 1980, has been relatively popular over the years, inspiring comic books and several adaptation attempts. Notably, director J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot was linked to a potential live-action film back in 2009. In 2019, How to Train Your Dragon filmmaker Dean DeBlois was attached to a Micronauts live-action film, originally set for a 2021 release date, but the project remains in development limbo.
