After the fourth episode, HiT Entertainment (later, Mattel Creations) sued James Farr for plagiarism because of the whole copyright system with the whole Thomas franchise which caused the whole four TrainsFormers series episodes to be deleted. So he uploaded the fifth episode being halted by the "Fun Police" mid-production causing his son Vector (who is now 12 or 13 years old) to go on new adventures around the movie lot.
The series was replaced by The Sky-High City of Steampuff, which also featured trains that can turn into robots and lasted four episodes, with a fifth currently in development.
On New Years Eve, 2018, James Farr fully restored the Trainsformers, but in the Christmas special, generic trains (whose names were Cole, Quazar, Quark and Clunk) were added instead of Thomas characters. This is probably due so HIT Entertainment will not sue James Farr again.

In the Trains-Formers series, Thomas' engine form actually used the Strasburg Railroad's steam Thomas for reference (notably the face, lamp and whistle designs, and how he looks wider than the filmed and CGI models).
