Many fans may have forgotten that Hasbro was once developing theMicronautsanimated show with Eric Rogers as the head writer. Fans have not heard a word of it since it was announced in 2018. Rogers has finally spoken out against Hasbro and revealed that he doesn’t know what happened to the show.
Shockingly, Rogers confirms that the show was completed four years ago, having developed a total of 52 episodes. Rogers shared that the last episode was locked in January 2020 right before COVID. He added that he has yet to receive answers from Hasbro.
Eric Rogers Believes HisMicronautsShow Faced The Same Fate AsBatgirl
TheMicronautsanimated show, based on the Japanese toy line from Mego, was announced byHasbroin 2018. However, fans got no update from the series ever since.

In response to a tweet asking,“What canceled project do you wish happened?”, Rogers wrote aboutMicronauts. He explained that he had produced 52 half-hour episodes for the show that never saw the light of the day. He shared that no one at Hasbro would tell him what had happened to the series. He shared:
MICRONAUTS. 52 half hours fully produced. I was the co-creator/EP/head writer. Ask Hasbro what they’re doing with it because no one there will tell me. We locked that last episode in January 2020.https://t.co/lvCCpVmBMe
In another tweet, he shared thatMicronautsmay have faced the same fate asBatgirl.Leslie Grace‘sBatgirlwas a completed movie that was initially slated for a theatrical release and later changed to a Max release. However,WBD eventually decided to cancelthe completed film. In aVarietyreport, WBD shared that a tax write-off was the most financially sound way to deal withBatgirl.
I don’t think it’d help. I think they Batgirl’d us.
Rogers further tweeted that he wanted at least one person at Hasbro to tell him what happened with the series. He wanted them to tell him whether it was canned for a tax write-off or they lost it. Rogers shared:
By the way… I just want ONE PERSON at Hasbro to tell me what their plan is. 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.https://t.co/M4X83cAQZf
Rogersretweetedone fan’s tweet, sharing the concept art that was released forMicronauts. He was sure that the show was going to exceed all expectations. He was also confident in the cast who gave voice to the characters.
What Happened toMicronautsat Hasbro?
Micronautsbegan development under Boulder Media, which was a subsidiary of Hasbro Studios. Hasbro’s animation division, Allspark Animation was actively involved in the project. However, due to a change in corporate leadership, Allspark was shut down in 2020. Entertainment One took over Hasbro’s production wing and began the development of its projects.

Micronauts, which according to Rogers was completed by then, was probably put on hold in favor of eOne’s shows. The more concerning matter was that Hasbro never released the project to any streaming services during the pandemic period when productions likeMicronautswere in high demand.
Holding on to 52 episodes during all this time clearly indicates that Hasbro had no intention to release the series anytime soon. Rogers’ claim looks more and more plausible that HasbroBatgirl’dMicronauts.
