And it was another crossover with RID as the Mini-Con was a Cyclone and Sideswipe guest-starred.
Sideswipe is getting a RB toy, yes. And there are RB Mini-Con toys, but not like Bounce. IF he gets a toy, it'll more likely be in the RID line since he was drawn in the episode in the same exact design as Ransack an Backtrack, but with a different deco. The RB Mini-Con toys are instead little helper animals that turn into rescue tools, like Servo.Stuartmaximus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Looks like Ryan/Seibertron finally got his wish in today's episode with there being an enemy Cybertronian in this one (albeit, a Mini-Con rather than a Decepticon).

Does this mean that we'll be getting Sideswipe & minicon RB toys now

Though, the novels did the colony worlds thing of TF: Cybertron before IDW started doing it.o.supreme wrote:ok...so after watching the new episode of RiD...my son then decided he wanted to watch the new Rescue Bots..cause I told him I saw on this forum Sideswipe was in it...We watched it...I usually don't catch obscure references but in the beginning when Blurr was racing on the track, and Heatwave said something about "You want to be as fast as Override?"-- I thought that as odd because that was a reference to TF:Cybertron...but I did some research...turns out in the Exiles Novel, they introduced Velocitron etc...Seems like the Aligned Continuity is coming more and more close to the IDW G1 continuity, trying to integrate transformers from all different series...
Forewarning: The novels (especially Exiles) are not well written at all (though, I will argue the Retribution was the most-readable of the three), but do provide a LOT of backstory and lore information not found in any other Aligned media (save for the Covenant of Primus book).o.supreme wrote:I've seen the Gameplay of WFC & FoC, and watched all of Prime/RiD15, and *some* of Rescue Bots. I wasn't sure how integral the Novels Exodus/Exiles/Retribution were to the Aligned continuity. Perhaps I should give them a read.

As one of the few people who read that Keepers trilogy and didn't hate it with a passion... at least there's no human gore or Earth product placement in the Aligned novels? I dunno. Neither trilogy is great by any measure. They're both boring at worst and so-so at best. If I really had to pick a preferred trilogy between the two, I guess I'd go with the Aligned novels since I did genuinely like the dynamic between Orion Pax/Optimus Prime and Megatron in those books (even if the books' attempt to portray Megatron in a sympathetic light still came off as him sounding objectively villain-grade evil more often than not).o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Forewarning: The novels (especially Exiles) are not well written at all (though, I will argue the Retribution was the most-readable of the three), but do provide a LOT of backstory and lore information not found in any other Aligned media (save for the Covenant of Primus book).
Thanks. Just for comparisons sake...how do you think these novels stack up against the Hardwired/Annihilation/Fusion trilogy? I know most fans didn't care for those. But I kind of liked them...at least I seem to recall having mostly positive memories...except the ending. I only read them once over a decade ago. They still sit on my bookshelf with other novels from various series.
Also...I keep wishing they would release the covenant without the whole Autobot symbol/toy thing.

If you're going by iTunes's episode releases, iTunes messed up their release order and put out episodes 101 and 102 before episode 100, and put both 101 and 102 out two whole weeks ahead of each's TV airing date.
Something must have gone really wrong there. The order in which all three episodes aired on Discovery Family is like so:
#100: "A Brush With Danger" - October 1, 2016
#101: "To Infinity...And Back" - October 8, 2016
#102: "Family Business" - October 15, 2016 (yesterday)
Though, I must admit that I actually prefer the mistaken order that iTunes released each episode in because that mistake allowed "To Infinite...And Back" to get released first as the 100th episode instead of "A Brush With Danger". The reason I prefer "To Infinite...And Back" to come first as the 100th episode is because it feels more like a 100th episode than "A Brush With Danger" does, what with Dani's test piloting mission in that episode being her 100th mission, and the overall scope of the episode being so grand and epic and wondrous. It just feels more like a celebration episode than much more mundane "A Brush With Danger" does.

since Morocco has invaded the Training Centre's computer systems i wonder if he'll transform it to robot mode(of whom i still think is Grandus) coz it would be a bit like Megatron taking over Omega Supreme in TFA
Looks like iTunes dun goofed again and released it last Saturday. Stu probably watched it on Kisscartoon as it's up on there now.Flashwave wrote:Stuartmaximus wrote:Just watched the first part of the two part Morocco story & it was great

There's still hope for more to come. D.C. Douglas has Tweeted that the show may continue if Discovery Family decides to order more episodes.o.supreme wrote:haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking it should be the series finale as well. There has been no word on a 5th season. Every announcement of renewal has always come shortly before the previous season ended.

Sabrblade wrote:this show seems pretty inexpensive to make
I think what would really have been cool is if this show were to transfer the original four Sigma-17 Bots to a bigger-kid TF cartoon (not necessarily RID, but something akin to RID) so that their story can continue with the audiences who have grown up watching them, while the new recruits take over as the new main cast of Rescue Bots (though, I can't see that happening with Quickshadow unless they either somehow get rich enough to afford Alex Kingston as a permanent addition to the cast, or if they recast her with someone less expensive).o.supreme wrote:Still for kids who grew up with RB, as I've said before, they are aging out. My son was just shy of 6 when it first aired. He is 10 1/2 now. he said we would watch season 4 if it is added to Netflix, but is much more into RiD15 now. That's not to say there isn't a new crop of children coming along that the show would appeal to, but if that were solely the reason to keep going, then no show would ever get cancelled right? I am impressed as well, for a show that offers nothing to myself as an older Transformers fan, it somehow produced 6 more episodes than the Original Series (but that's just because Marvel/Sunbow got cheap at the end...but I digress). I think for some RB is a labor of love whereas The Original Series was just a "job" to most involved, they had no idea what they were making would have such a profound effect on so many young people. The industry has changed quite a bit in the last 30 years. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but if some of those folks knew the impact they were having with the Original Series, it could have easily continued for a long time to come.
