Red vs. Blue: Animated

During the Penny Arcade Expo 2008, Rooster Teeth revealed a preview of Red vs. Blue in animated form. Humoring the Fates is collaborating with Rooster Teeth on the series. Animated's release date is currently unknown, but will be sometime in the summer 2010. It has been speculated that it will air on television, however, these rumors are unfounded. (During the evening viewing of the first season of RvB Live, (May 1st 2009) Burnie announced that they were, in fact, going to air it on television. However, they are still making deals with networks, so it's still unsure where and when this will happen.)

The preview was later included on the Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction DVD.

It has been revealed recently that RVB: Animated will air on Comedy Central and G4 in 2010 between April and July. The series was picked up for a total of 13 episodes and if the series does well, more seasons will likely be produced.

Plot
According to Burnie, Tex and Sarge have been running scout missions against an unknown enemy (revealed to be the Covenant), only to be taken by surprise and captured. In the pilot episode shown at PAX, Grif, Simmons, and Church attempt to sneak into a prison camp to rescue them. However, they underestimate how difficult it will be...

PAX 08 Trailer
Inside a base filled with hordes of Covenant soldiers, Church, Simmons, and an overweight Grif have located Sarge and Tex within one of the higher floors of the building. Their choices are to either go through room by room or up a large shaft, both of which contain large amounts of enemies; Grif suggests they just leave, but is ignored. While Simmons and Church devise a way to navigate the stronghold quickly, Grif accidentally opens a door which releases a swarm of Grunts who lock the three soldiers into a firefight. Using a map and a modified shell from a rocket launcher, Church ties himself to a rocket shell and Simmons propels him through the shaft. The Grunts attack Grif and Simmons, causing Church to swerve out of control, catching the attention of some Jackals, before finally bursting through the roof of the base and into the air.
