The Energon Pub

Just as the title says RID is freaking awesome!
Now I just have to get myself that DVD box!

"It is stored in little round canisters and you can find them in something called flash lights. And we've got thousands! Whahahahaha!"

hehe... theres plenty of quote worthy lines from RID.. i fondly remember laughing at Skybyte trying to transform with something in his mouth and it not working

Now Megatron will see that I'm the sharpest shark in the fish tank of evil!"

Great series. First TF series I'd enjoyed since G1, and then we had the great void of Unicron Trilogy.

The last good Transformers series until The UT came along and destroyed the fun aspect of TF until Animated came along and brought it back.

Yes it has, but it'll be out by the time I have some money!

I like RID! Just off hand, the line about Gestalts (combiners): "Maybe they're double-jointed?" My mom taped the series when it was on TV.

Side Burn: Wow, how come we can't do that?
Prowl: I don't know, I think they're double-jointed.
Side Burn: Maybe they can teach us how to do that.
X-Brawn: I was never a good student.
Side Burn: Come to think of it, I wouldn't want to fuse with you guys anyway.

Loved that bit of dialogue.

lol.. gimme a break... ive been sat peering into a laptop for nearly 2 hours trying to get my R4 working..

and no.. its not a droid..

Not a droid, or just not the droid you're looking for?

lol... a bit of both??...

nah.. its a er, sort of game card for Nintendo DS chances are if it WAS a droid, i wouldve gotten it working quicker than this.. and with less swearing.. much, less swearing..

back to topic for a minute... out of curiousity.. from the whole RiD line, who would be your favourate mold? personally i would have to say either Optimus or Rail Racers combined form.. i want those two in my collection so very badly

Prime. Easily. I love that mold so much. I almost want to buy a second one, so I can have one in super mode and one in regular mode at the same time.

I hear ya Sledge... Ive never held or seen the figure in person.. but every photo of it has made me sit there wishing I had my own.. once money allows it ill go about hunting one down.

I kinda know what you mean about wanting two of them though, I feel the same about my Cybertron Optimus and Wing Sabre.. every so often I find myself wondering if I should have them seperate or combined.. I mean.. sure.. Sonic Wing Mode has swords and a chest plate made of win.. but then his own super mode has those two great big awesome cannons... ahhh.. the woes of a collector..

there is over 9000 lines of good dialouge in rid

Ugh...I thought RID was awful...I mean, NONE of the Transformers shows have been all THAT great imo, but RID is near the bottom of the list for me...

You may think it's bad comedy, but I die for puns like that!

I honestly think RiD was the absolute worse Transformers series ever.
It's final overall plot was beyond lame Mega/Galvtron wants to make little kids believe evil will always win so freaking stupid. Most of the running gags were just plain annoying as hell. Not to mention that Autobots had massive number advantage over the cons and they never could beat them. Most of the later characters only appered for no more than 3 episodes. No real character delvopment.

RiD did had pretty good animation but Energon and Cybertron blew it out of the water. As bad as some of the Unicron Trilogy was it still was trillion times better than RiD was.

I could not have stated it better! I attempted to give ALL Transformers animated serials a chance, and I could not even choke down an entire episode of RiD before I had to shut it off. I was sickened by the weak and cheesy dialogue...granted it is a kids' show, but JEEBUS! I think it is even insultive to the wee-ones!

Just abysmal!
