Okay, so this confirms that Frankie is in on the secret, now. Also, what Sabrblade said.

Wow...I havent watched a single of episode of this series. Its a little bit too young for me.
Its Very A-B-C's and 1-2-3's for children.

Except it's really not. It doesn't talk down to its audience. Sure, you can tell it's walking the line of "kid-friendliness" but it manages to be really interesting and appealing to all age groups, if you aren't the type who is automatically dismissive of shows not targeted at your demographic.

What are you smoking, man? And, can I have some? :lol:

But seriously, is that honestly what you think this show is? Some Sesame Street ripoff with robots? You have NO idea what lengths this show has gone to. How far it has come within its first 26 episodes. The sheer scale of this show has reach beyond all expectations, even going as far as to have many critical and even downright EPIC moments with a sense of humbleness and sincerity that a show like Transformers: Prime could only dream of ever achieving. It is THAT good.

And, it did it all without any Decepticons. That's right. It told a complete 26-episode episode spanning story and history without a single Decepticon needing to come along.

Oh, but that isn't to say that there weren't any threats or antagonists in this show. Quite the opposite. Almost very episode reached catastrophic levels to some degree for the events that occurred. Especially whenever a certain primary antagonist would make his presence known. In those episodes, the gloves came off for our heroes. :twisted:

And what's more, this antagonist I speak of, he's still at large! Regardless of his being defeated at times, he's proven to be a great enough threat that the Autobots simply can't touch, always staying one step ahead of the game.

Even the guest stars of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are awesome in this show, and that's saying something considering how little appeal there is to the two of them in TF: Prime.

All in all, this show is ace and far more uplifting than the constant doom and gloom of TF: Prime.

Blades: Oh no! There's a volcano erupting!

Heatwave: Well, we need your help, tiny toddler minds that are far superior to our incredibly advanced minds. What should we do????

(Awkward Pause)

Heatwave: That's a good idea, but let's ask our rescue bots.

Boulder: In all, kids, Heatwave called you dumbasses! *thumbs up*

This show is hardly anything similar to a Sprout show. I wouldn't consider it better than Prime, but I find it more interesting than the Unicron Trilogy & Animated, IMO.

No Decepticons? BORING.......ZZZZzzzzzz. lol
No Im sure it is a very well made enticing show its just not in my interest right now. Besides in my opinion in the past few years there are way too many multiple simultaneous Transformers universes, series, and franchises going on at the moment and Rescue Bots for me just did not make my cut. With all the live action movies, video games, animated shows, all with mix mash characters and stories going on, all thrown into a blender........... I can only eat so much before I get full.
And poor Peter Cullen....he's like "Whatever, just send me my check and I'll say whatever lines you want me to say" lol.
And anyhow Im a Decepticon at heart. I like juicy Decepticon stories. I get bored if there is no Decepticon story or conflict. Right now Im deep into the video game realm of Transformers WFC and FOC. Those stories there is what I want more of.
That being said Im sure Rescue Bots is a good show, just not for me. But who knows I might get bored one day and decide to watch an episode or two. :roll:

Oh, there's conflict alright. And it's set in the same universe as TF Prime, with some broad allusions thrown to it now and then. It's a really cool take on Transformers and you owe it to yourself to try it out.
