Well, on one hand the series will be getting pretty long-in-the-tooth by 2017, so an end to the show (in its current form at least) surely couldn't be far away by that point.
On the other hand, why launch a movie with the intent to cancel the show it's based on? What happens if the movie is wildly popular?
To me, it'd seem nuts to spend a bunch of time and money on something you aren't intending to continue with, but I can't pretend to know what Hasbro have planned. Could go either way at this point.

The show could continue to limp on long after the idea-well has run dry, becoming a depressing, embarrassing shadow of its former self?
