The Emmy-nominated independent Canadian animation studio ICON Creative Studio has recently updated their website with a new placeholder graphic listed alongside their other programs, revealing that they will be producing the animation for Nickelodeon and eOne's upcoming Transformers animated series! Additionally, the studio has revealed that the series is currently in production, and are also hiring new animators for the job.
The Icon Creative Studio team has worked with Disney and streaming services like Netflix, and is behind such CG-animated series as Elena of Avalor, Rocket Club, Monsters At Work, Kong: King of the Apes, and T.O.T.S. Check out their reel here.
