Near the end of its run, the company turned its attention to the demand for new Transformers episodes in the aftermath of Beast Machines' conclusion, and it imported and dubbed Robots in Disguise in 2001. Saban was absorbed by Disney in the same year, and Buena Vista attained all of its programming.
