Apparently, the 6am CN airings have garnered RID better ratings that it would have gotten on any timeslot for Discovery Family. So claims Hasbro Studios, at least. More people simply have access to CN than DF, so it's at least airing on a channel that more people watch.o.supreme wrote:Teen Titans Go! -making kids dumber every day. But really, that is sad. You can tell CN doesn't give a hoot about Transformers, they should have stayed on HUB/Discovey since CN screwed them with TFA. who wakes up at 6am to watch it?

Have we heard anything about Ultra Magnus, Wheeljack, Arcee, Smokescreen, or Bulkhead returning in this series on screen? Don't ask why, but I just stumbled onto wikipedia and their Ultra Magnus page, and it claims that Magnus, with Micheal Ironside voicing again, is confirmed to return in season 3, but there is nothing so far to back u that claim that I could find. I then went to the other 4 pages and they all said the same thing. No citations, just that each was returning and so was their voice actor.
Has anyone else heard anything to back these up, or is this wikipedia (not the transformers one, just the wikipedia) making this up?

Here's hoping that Amazon and Netflix list the Season 2.5 episodes as part of Season 2 and not as Season 3 like some places have mislabeled them. More word needs to get out that Season 3 is Combiner Force and not coming until 2017, as per its original announcement.Nexus Knight wrote:So, apparently season two of RiD is on Amazon Direct Video, buuuut... I forgot to see if they have the 2.5 season (using TFwiki's naming of it the last six episodes). It's not Amazon Prime, meaning you have to pay to watch it. In my opinion, wait a couple months for Netflix. Didn't take Rescue Bots too long to get updated, so it's worth it. Just thought I'd mention it in case someone couldn't wait.

Considering that every time old character is returning, series suddenly become much better, I hope we wiull have a few returns in next season, without it, this series is just boring.Still I'd love to see any of them return, and because we've seen Soundwave, Ratchet, & Starscream, anything is possible somewhere down the line.

I honestly disagree. RiD is the perfect amount of silliness while being awesome at the same time.

It's decent. It's alright. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but... I never find myself really interested in it and there's no moments that are particularly memorable or stick out to me. It's extremely average.
And returning characters doesn't help.

And I honestly think RiD is lots of fun, almost to TF:A levels of such. Does it have the overarching storylines like TF:A had? Eeehhhhhh... not as well, but it still captures some of the heart of that series, IMO. But, as I keep telling my little brother about Rogue One, everyone's intitled to an opinion.

Being mean where?Nexus Knight wrote:Um... because... *checks TFwiki* Well, I think because of a bad timeslot, but TFwiki is being mean, so I'm uncertain.
From what I recall, Animated was a co-production between Cartoon Network and Hasbro, and when Hasbro partnered with Discovery to create their own channel (The Hub) they chose to end their relations with CN so as to further the switch over to The Hub. Plus, while Hasbro liked Animated, it wasn't what they (as in the previous Transformers team) wanted to continue focusing on since they had created the Binder of Revelation and the Aligned continuity, and wanted to give all their attention to that more than they wanted to continue Animated.
It's no more kiddie that Animated was. It's even no more kiddie than G1 was.Bombilation wrote:Right, I'm sure RID is perfect for a lot of people, especially younger viewers. I just feel like RID is a little too kiddy, just like how Prime was a little bit too edgy. I'm all about balance when it comes to stories. Still, that's just my opinion.
Besides, was that last story arc really all that kiddie? With the visit to the old base from Prime, to the visiting of Mount St. Hilary, to the three-part final showdown against Starscream?
Posted by Nexus Knight on December 25th, 2016 @ 12:24am CST
I have to agree, though. They manage to get some very serious moments in both TF:A (RIP Prowl ) and RiD. TF:A did handle the more serious storylines better, IMO, but RiD has managed to do better in keeping their villains just dark enough to be interesting, but light enough for a children's show. Megatronus (hope I'm spelling that right) was an awesome villain who died too quickly.

I can't comment on TF:P's faults much. It got me back in the franchise by being just plain awesome. I have nothing bad to say for that series and I was disappointed that it was so rushed at the end.

Most countries showed Prime on CN.
Only America (I think) had it on The Hub. (Which is a US channel)

That means nothing in regards to why Animated was discontinued after its third season, as it was the American CN who who co-produced it with Hasbro.BattleConvoy wrote:Sabrblade wrote:From what I recall, Animated was a co-production between Cartoon Network and Hasbro, and when Hasbro partnered with Discovery to create their own channel (The Hub) they chose to end their relations with CN so as to further the switch over to The Hub.

Wasn't this already explained few times. New Hasbro cycle is like:That means nothing in regards to why Animated was discontinued after its third season, as it was the American CN who who co-produced it with Hasbro.
Old Animated Series --> LA Movie --> New Animated series
So it appears that RID 2015 will end in this year, after season 3.

That's not how it always goes, though. DOTM came out while TF: Prime was still airing its first season on TV, so Prime came first but ended long after DOTM.TurboMMaster wrote:Wasn't this already explained few times.

So, are you ready for some combining to take place in Robots in Disguise? Ready for Team Bee to take the ultimate Team Building exercise? Ready for some Stunticons in a new show? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

It is weird. But hey, maybe him, optimus, Ratchet, and Windblade will form a whole other combiner!
Also, let's couple this combiner news to the fact that we are getting 3 new aerialbot toys. Possible RiD Superion?

It's possible one of them could be a smaller toy that's an optional attachment, ala the Legends figures in CW.
Does this seem really experimental to anyone else? Like, after they finally figured out how to do Combiners well, they're now aiming simpler and in a main line to see if it's possible for them to A) Do a full combiner in a main line, and B) be able to go back to doing Combiners without having the line dominated by them, like how they were in the G1 toyline and - dare I say it - Energon and FoC?

There could be more then one Con Combiner just like we got 3 Aerialbot so far with probably a 4th and maybe a 5th (Stormshot, Skysledge and Stormhammer the latter 2 who combine into Skyhammer just like how Bee and Sidewipe combine into a two bot combiner)
I think that maybe we get Combaticons who combine into Bruticus and if it had to be a 4 bot combiner they would probably leave out Blastoff which could be explained through this.
Yeah yeah the games and comics are not exactly connected perfectly but I think that it could be a reason if they go through a 4 bot Bruticus like a line from Swindle or Vortex saying "Yeah we lost one of our own in the great war just like how the Stunticons lost Breakdown here on Earth" plus it's not like Blastoff's fate after the games is going to be revealed or anything with High Moon gone.

I did not no. I saw his alpine drift wavemate at TRU today, so I mustve just missed him, otherwise I would've see the toy at least.
But, i'm looking forward to season 3. All this combining stuff actually seems really cool
Posted by Sabrblade on January 20th, 2017 @ 9:31pm CST
Of course, this all was only executed in Aligned fiction, so it's neat to see the "Aerialbot = jetformer Autobot" label carried over further into RID 2015.

What if... They use Breakdown (screw being dead) or one of the other Stunticons uses his body type, and that one forms the pants like Grim and the other 3 make the rest?
Posted by Zeedust on January 21st, 2017 @ 4:04am CST
The Bee Team combiner, on the other hand, delights me. For some reason I just love combiners with mixed alt modes. Three cars and a dinosaur? Sounds fun.
Not that I'd get my hopes up for either of these with movie toys on the way, mind you. History could all too easily repeat.
Sabrblade wrote:And Drift gets left out of the Autobot one from some reason.
He's always struck me as not being close to the rest of the team the way the first five members of the Bee Team are to each other.
