When is Rescue Bots gonna get on Netflix already?! What's taking so long for them to put it on there?!

First, rescue bots needs to finish the season (they're not iTunes, they don't add single episodes.) Then the DVD/Blu-Ray needs to be released. Then it'll be added 2 months after the DVD. But thats just based on what I experieneced with Netflix

Okay, but then how come Netflix has all of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic up for streaming when it has yet to receive any complete season DVD/Blu-Ray releases? Or how about Netflix already having every single Power Rangers season when only a handful of episodes from certain seasons have had any DVD release?

Does a show really need to come out on DVD/Blu-Ray first (and in full) before it can get on Netflix?

Maybe not, reread my post, I said MY EXPERIANCE. When I first got netflix, I started watching Rescue Me (I can't start watching a show half way through.) And it finished up at season 5. After the series ended, they released the season 6 and 7 dvd. Two months later, on netflix, and I could finish up. Same thing with the fifteenth season of South Park. Two months.

But even if it isn't required, RB still hasn't finished its season. 18 episodes have been shown/announced, which means another 8 eppisodes for a 26 episode season. (ending the season late august/early september) so you most likely wouldn't see rescue bots untill november/december. And thats if there is no planned DVD release.

this is when they made megatron into a dragon for no reason other than to get a new toy on the show. stupid. this scene also raises a lot of questions. like what dragon form did he scan to get that mode? and why was he not killed being in lava for so long? terrorsaur and scorpinok died from this.

He turns into a goddamn dragon. Who needs a reason for that?
The best semblance of an explanation is that he survived and mutated by having G1 Megatron's spark inside him at the time, similar to how Optimus became Optimal Optimus with G1 Prime's spark. Being surrounded by lava influenced his mutation into a fire-based creature, a dragon. It's shaky, but no more shaky than being able to reconstruct a T-Rex alt mode from a skeleton or Waspinator being able to survive all the things he survives.

My bad.

Still wish it wasn't that long off. This show is fantastic, yet it is SO hard to view for those who don't have the Hub and are unable to catch it on the day(s) it's put online. I'm dying for more people to see it in any way possible.

It's griftimus prime. 8/10 of his posts are negatives about anything.

Because, you know, Beast Wars had the VERY FIRST animal transformers. There were no Dinobots, Insecticons, Terrorcons, or Predacons in G1, oh no. And Transformers is historically known for being a thrilling daytime drama, not a corny kids' show. Robots turning into cars? Legit. Robots turning into animals? WTF IS THIS CRAP. And hey! Who put good writing in my Beast Wars cartoon because the limited animation budget forced a small cast which therefore got well-developed? Yeah, worst idea ever. Much worse than the pervert Transformers, or robot testicles, or killing off all the main characters of your show to make room for new toys (not in itself a horrible idea but handled badly), etc.

Sure, because having realistic disguises is such a sin in the Transformers media. Let them be crucified if there's ever TF that turns into a realistic-looking car or jet. Down with realism, up with fantasy!

Cars and jets are understandable because they are mechanical but using something made of flesh and blood, that's corny. I mean some of the transmetal stuff was cool looking but I'm talking about the original beast wars. The idea was dumb, my opinion. You people are way too sensitive about someone stating their opinion.

There is no actual "flesh and blood". Their organic "skins" (for lack of a better term) are just external covers worn on the outside on their superstructures to better enhance the look of their altmodes.

If your seriously going to judge an entire show based entirely on an aspect of the characters' appearances, then that's no better than judging a whole country based on the clothes worn by its people.

So you're calling me a racist? You should watch what you say because you don't know anything about me. Yeah, I'm judging this particular show for the idea of animals turning into robots not because of what they look like. I don't like beast wars, opinion stated. Like what you want and get over it.
