AGE Micronaut announcement image

In 1998, AGE, Annex Entertainment, Gribouille and Kaleidoscope Media Group planned to produce a Micronauts animated series starting with a five-part miniseries to air on the Sci Fi Channel in Fall of 1998, followed by a syndicated 26 episode Micronauts animated series for 1999, with action figures and a Marvel tie-in comic announced. The project appears to be shelved or canceled.

According to Dave Johnson the series almost made it to TV, but was scrapped when Hasbro bought the rights to the Micronauts.

This announcement remained on their web site until 2009.

2018 Boulder Media Limited

Boulder Media Limited (a then-subsidiary of Hasbro Studios) announced it was developing a Micronauts animated series in 2018, with a projected release date of 2019. 52 half-hour episodes were fully produced, with production concluding in January 2020, but to date, the series has not yet been released. There has been no official announcement regarding its failure to release or its future; executive producer and head writer Eric Rogers has stated that he has received no information from Hasbro on the fate of the show, and has speculated that it was turned into a tax write-off. Other sources refute this, claiming that Hasbro still hope to release the series in conjunction with a potential live-action project in the future.

In July 2027 the full two seasons were leak on the internet.
