During Hasbro's time with the Hub Network/Discovery Family, they produced a total of 12 animated shows:

  1. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (October 10, 2010 – October 12, 2019)
  2. Pound Puppies (October 10, 2010 – November 16, 2013)
  3. The Adventures of Chuck and Friends (October 15, 2010 – January 9, 2012)
  4. G.I. Joe: Renegades (November 26, 2010 – July 23, 2011)
  5. Transformers: Prime (November 29, 2010 – July 26, 2013)
  6. Transformers: Rescue Bots (December 17, 2011 – October 22, 2016)
  7. Kaijudo: Rise/Clash of the Duel Masters (June 2, 2012 – December 28, 2013)
  8. Littlest Pet Shop (November 10, 2012 – June 4, 2016)
  9. Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do (November 13, 2015 – September 9, 2017)
  10. Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own (April 14, 2018 – January 26, 2019)
  11. Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (January 5, 2019 – June 5, 2021)
  12. My Little Pony: Pony Life (November 7, 2020 – May 22, 2021)

Along with these shows, they also produced four short series as well:

  • My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (March 27, 2014 – September 1, 2019; Rainbow Rocks, Friendship Games, Summertime Shorts and Better Together)
  • Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy (August 2, 2016 – July 3, 2018; Combiner Wars, Titans Return and Power of the Primes)
  • Hanazuki: Full of Treasures (January 12, 2017 – May 4, 2019; series is incomplete)
  • Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own (October 4, 2017 – April 24, 2018)

And of course, one finale movie for Transformers: Prime ("Predacons Rising"), which was released in October 2013, a bunch of Equestria Girls films and specials, which lasted from June 2013 to December 2019, and Friendship is Magic specials Best Gift Ever (2018) and Rainbow Roadtrip (2019).


Netflix

Of the 12 shows produced by Hasbro and Discovery, all were once available on Netflix, except two -- Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do and My Little Pony: Pony Life.

Sadly, G.I. Joe: Renegades and Kaijudo were removed from Netflix on January 2, 2015, followed by most of the other six pre-2015 shows on August 16, 2018, just after the release of Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own, and a year before Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy.

And sadly for those shows, Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own, along with most of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, were also removed in early 2022, followed by Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy a year or two later.

All that currently remains on Netflix as of 2024 are the following:

  • My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Worldwide, but varies by country (4 seasons in the US, 5 seasons in Eastern Europe, 2 seasons in Scandinavia, and just 1 season everywhere else)
  • Transformers: Prime - Season 1 (US, India, Italy, South Korea and Eastern Europe)
  • Transformers: Rescue Bots - Season 1 (US only)

 

Discovery Family Channel

Seven of the 12 shows are no longer airing on Discovery Family:

  • Kaijudo: Rise/Clash of the Duel Masters - October 12, 2014, the day before Discovery Family replaced the Hub Network
  • G.I. Joe: Renegades - January 4, 2015
  • Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do - May 2022
  • Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy - March 2023
  • Transformers: Prime - August 2023
  • My Little Pony: Pony Life - October 2023
  • Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own - November 2023 (August 2022 before this)


Other streaming services

All 12 shows are currently available for purchase on iTunes and/or Amazon.Aside from that, Tubi carries Pound Puppies, The Adventures of Chuck and Friends, G.I. Joe: Renegades, Transformers: Prime (seasons 2 and 3 only), and Littlest Pet Shop.
Amazon Prime has Season 2 of Kaijudo: Clash of the Duel Masters, but not Season 1.
KiDoodle TV has all nine seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and all the Equestria Girls films and specials, but not the shorts or Pony Life.
The four shows that were produced during the Discovery Family era, as well as the "Predacons Rising" movie, are not available at all anywhere, due to their company still refusing to leave Discovery Family, which removed these shows to make room for WB cartoons (since Discovery merged with Warner Bros.).

 

My hopes are that after Hasbro decides what to do in March 2025 (since that's when their 40% ownership of Discovery Family is set to end at the earliest), they will move their shows from Discovery Family to any streaming service out there.
