Wow Sto finally made a mistake. :lol:

On a side note I haven't slept well for the last 2 weeks, forgot about the Airealbot's Skydive.

As for the whole Pretenders and Micromasters thing, non of them ever came to the U.S. you're useing a mix of U.S. Characters who happen to share the same name as a completly different character from Japan. Either that or the "two" characters are actully the same with one being an upgrade of the other but that I can't say for sure. Probly more likely that there were names used both in the U.S. and Japan but for completly different characters which would mean the Pretenders and Micromasters were new names for their audience.

You must not have been sleeping well because I can't believe you just said that. Do you actually believe that there were no Pretenders and Micromasters sold in in the U.S., and that all of them are Japanese-exclusive? What Transformers toys do you think the years 1988-1990 consisted of? The answer is: "Pretenders and Micromasters"!

If you don't believe me, check out these scans of the U.S. 1988, 1989, and 1990 Transformers toy catalogs:

1988 Autobot toys (Autobot Pretenders are in the middle)
1988 Decepticon toys (Decepticon Pretenders are middle-right)
1989 toys A (Powermaster Optimus Prime is ther only non-Pretender toy on this page)
1989 toys B (Micromasters galore!)
1990 toys (More Micromasters galore.)

As for them having similar names to other characters, don't count on them being the same bots.

The toys of Skyquake and Stalker were later redecoed in Machine Wars as Starscream and Soundwave, and again in Universe (2003-2007) as King Atlas and Soundwave again.


I didnt know that there were that many of them.....thanks :grin:

But it was more of a "Typo" then a mistake with the facts.My facts were still right I just got the names mixed up.

Since "Sabrblade" already addressed some of this.....

The Pretenders and Micromasters did come to the U.S. in both the toy line and the comics so saying that I'm mixing Japanese characters with those of the U.S. is ridiculos. :o) because I'm not doing so.

Fact is of the "names" I listed,the U.K. Exclusive "Skydive" was the only one that was not seen in the U.S.

Also many of the names of the Pretenders in Japan were completly different.So they were not new names nor were they upgraded bodies for other characters.

The "Japan names" for these characters has nothing to do with this conversation.The toys I'm talking about were all released in the U.S. by Hasbro before the G1 line ended.

The characters I mention were all "Different" characters with the same names according to the info on their toy bios.And they werent the only ones to do so.Only one of the names I listed were even on the same teams.

Granted these toys did not make it to the G1 cartoon before it was canceled but they did get released in the U.S. and made it to the G1 Marvel comics which was the the original "medium" for the fiction.

I know that by the way "YOU" view things, if they didnt make it to the cartoon they dont count.But thats a poor way of judging a characters value.And unlike the other lines, G1 started out as a comic book and not a cartoon.

I cant speak for wether the "Micromasters" would have gotten repersented in the toon if it were not canceled but i happen to know for a "FACT" that the "Predenders" were planned for season 4 and 5.

You should also keep in mind that the G1 cartoon was a "U.S. made cartoon" not a Japanese cartoon that was dubbed for the U.S. and abroad.

Hasbro had no plans to start importing Takara Headmasters or Masterforce serries for the U.S. tv markets.Hasbro and Marvel had planed out the production of season 4 and the begining of season 5 with their own stories like they did preveiously with seasons 1 threw 3.

So even if the G1 cartoon was not canceled we would not have gotten a dubbed version of Takara's TF serries.

The series was canceled in the US after the pilot for the Headmasters series. Pretenders and Micromasters came after the Headmasters. Transformers simply didn't exsist in the U.S. from that point on till Beast Wars when they finally returned to the U.S.

Thinking back a bit, I would of picked up both Bumblebee and Jazz in 1990 but I was only 4 years old at the time and I don't remember anything from the 3 years preceeding and not much of that year.

Again they did get released in the U.S. and did make appearances in the U.S. comic books.

The G1 toyline continued into the year 1990 and the G1 comic book lasted till 1989 if I'm right.

So Transformers did exsist past "The Rebirth".

There was even the "not so well known season 5" that was a re-edited selected G1 episodes that featured a "live action" puppet of Powermaster Optimus Prime as narriator of the story.

So since Powermaster Prime made it into continuity then we can assume that the Pretenders did as well.

And there were Transformers in the U.S. before "Beast Wars".

There was the Generation 2 toyline,comic book and cartoon.While the cartoon itself was a "re-edited" version of the G1 toon it still was placed on the air to acompany the G2 toyline.

What your saying is in error.

What you want to say is that the characters do not exsist in the U.S. cartoons continuity.

But were not talking about continuity or cartoons....were talking about examples of the same names or simular names being used on 2 different characters within the same line.

As it pretains to that topic, the Pretenders and Micromaster "DO" exsist.

Here's the scenerio I'd like to see with Rodimus Prime. I'd like to see him as a Optimus' old academy pal and best friend. And I'd like to see Sentinel have a strong friendship with him as well, which would further complicate Sentinel's current relationship with Optimus.

If both Optimus and Sentinel were good friends with Rodimus, we'd then get to see some sort humorous fight over who Rodimus likes more as a best friend.

I can't say I like the basic concept because I've been in the position you put Rodimus into and it's not a fun exsperience. It would be exstremly difficult to pull that off as a humorous situation but that all depends on how it's played out. For Rodimus it would quite literally feel like Optimus and Sentinel were playing tug a war pulling both arms in oppisite directions.

That's one way to play on the humor, if they physically did that rather than haveing Optimus and Sentinel fight like they allways do and Rodimus just trying to stay impartial to their fight.

Really there's no way any of the 3 sides has anything to gain from this kind of fighting and being a kids cartoon they'd probly have to make that a moral to the story which would make it even harder to make the situation funny.

They kind of did something like this on Sponge Bob but it was Patric and SB fighting over Squidward who didn't like either of them anyway and he was the reason they started fighting in the first place only they didn't know it so all that made it really easy to make the situation funny. The situation you speak of is really hard especially for Rodimus.

Well, it would be like this. Optimus would view Rodimus as a good friend and comrade. Sentinel would view Rodimus as a respectable ally and warrior. When Rodimus shows up, Optimus would want to catch up with his old friend and rekindle their friendship. but Sentinel, not wanting Optimus to have anything to do with Rodimus, would try to get Rodimus to forget about Optimus and focus on more important things like the current Decepticon problem... and how much a greater Autobot than Optimus Sentinel is (or so he believes).

The humor in this would be Sentinel trying to get Rodimus away from Optimus, and failing. Cuz I don't think a jerk like Sentinel would be enough to break up a strong friendship between good friends like Optimus and Rodimus.

Of course, this is all just what I'm thinking of. It's not official. Just to let those of you who might be reading this and thinking it's real know that it's not.

I think that Rodimus will be another Liutenant or a Possible Captain Like deal in The Elite Gaurd.

He was sent away on a mission to keep tabs on possible Decepticon activities in other parts of the universe.


His relationship with Optimus Prime could be that of a Mentor/Teacher or they could be almost like brothers.


Reason he could have been kicked out of the Elite Gaurd maybe Sentinel Prime was getting jealous of the attention Optimus was getting from Rodimus.

Then Sentinal got all pissed-off about and framed Optimus into doing something stupid, and Rodimus seeing Optimus do it and not knowing that it was really Sentinal's idea all along he gets booted out of the academy and that is how he became a Space-Bridge Tech.

Think of how they all thought Wasp was the Decipticon spy but really it was Long-Arm (SHOCKWAVE) and how he was framed by BB. This could be what happened to Optimus in his Academy years.

That is my only explanation cause Optimus is a great-warrior leader so he had to have been set up bye someone or framed into doing something stupid.


I hope that they will be some flash-back episodes explaining Optimus removal from the Elite Gaurd.

Cause really I dont understand it my self not unless Optimus took the blame for something for someone else to keep them in the Academy thus he had to take the fall.


Look I am just glad season 3 is on its way and it has been finaly confirmed, not just un-official rumors.

Also I was right about S3 being 13 episodes also.


All I wanna know is now is the names of the episodes.

The offical Air-Date on Cartoon when exactly it will be on.

Not an estimated ETA date of just Spring 2009.


My theory is that everything is going to be released around revenge of the fallen is in June.

Thus Hasbro can make a bucket-load of cash and milk tf for all it is worth.


TF Animated S3 June 2009

TF ROTF June 2009

TF ROTF Videogame Multiplatform

Possible more DVD Box-Sets of other Sagas of the show.

Beast Wars, Re-Mastered G1 Sets (WISHFUL THINKING), The Headmasters,
Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Beast Wars 2 or Neo dont know the name cause it is in Japan.

And of course is RiD my money is on this one next cause it hasnt been seen in so long and hasnt even been on DVD yet.

Most likely be a 4 Disk complete DVD Box Set.

You're use of the word "fraimed" is a little off. You can't be "fraimed into doing something". Fraimed means that you were faulsely accused of doing something you didn't either on accident or intentianlly. If someone gets shot and some how you end up with the murder weapon at the scene of the crime that could be an unintentional fraiming. The real criminal drops the gun and you pick it up trying to go after said criminal yourself. Intentinal fraiming would be when evidence of a crime has been planted, say you're going through air port security and they find illegal drugs in your lugage. Both cases I just mentioned can be avoided, that's why you don't touch anything at the scene of a crime, you end up makeing yourself a suspect. And that's why they ask you if your lugage has ever been out of your sight because any time you weren't keeping track of your own suit case someone else could of planted the evidence inside.

Now if Sentinal were to talk Optimus into doing something stupid as you sugested that's not being fraimed because if he was being fraimed as I just exsplained there would only be evidence that he did something when he actully didn't. If Optimus DID do something stupid because Sentinal talked him into it then he DID commit whatever crime he would of been accused of. In other words he was set up.

You allso said "fraimed by BB" at one point but BB never fraimed anyone. It was Shockwave who planted the evidence on Wasp, Shockwave fraimed Wasp, not Bumblebee. Bumblebee was just the one who found said evidence. Allso the way you worded that sentence it looks like you said BB fraimed Shockwave.

I never said anything about someone being murdered.

Look the word "FRAMED" can be summed up in several diffrent meanings not necessarily meaning murder.

I meant to say he could of had been tricked into doing something stupid.

He also could have had discremenaning evidence planted against him somehow of how Waspinator was caught with it like how Shockwave planted the evidence.


I dont see any other reasons why Optimus would get kicked out when he was one of the top new recuits in the Academy.

I say that Sentinel must have done something, or it could have been an undercover Decipticon I guess none of us will no until the new upcoming season 3 comes out.

That is still unkown if we will still see anymore flashback episodes but I am banking on it.


Also they better not forget about the Sari promblem. About why she never had any indentfications, no bitrth certificates.

Also I want to know why she seems to have what looks like Cybertrionian circuitray in her arm.

But when I looked closer at the circuits it looks a little alien to me and it was Bluish-Black Green lookin.

This could be that it just looks diffrent cause she may have just reversed engineered parts from Megatron.

Beast Wars, Re-Mastered G1 Sets (WISHFUL THINKING), The Headmasters,
Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Beast Wars 2 or Neo dont know the name cause it is in Japan.

And of course is RiD my money is on this one next cause it hasnt been seen in so long and hasnt even been on DVD yet.

Most likely be a 4 Disk complete DVD Box Set.

RID-The Ultimate DVD Box-Set
RID-The Complete Series


I doubt the U.S. will get The Headmasters, Chojin Masterforce, Victory, or Zone on DVD. It it was, it would've already happened.

And seeing as how neither the UK nor Australia (the countries that got the JG1 series DVDs) haven't gotten Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo yet, I really doubt the U.S. would get them before those other countries.

As for RiD, the only way the U.S. is gonna get RiD on DVD is if Disney quits holding onto it and hands it over.

Look I wanna know why the heck Disney even owns the rights to RiD.

It makes no sense to me at all.


Look when it aired back on TV it was shown on FOX.


How the heck did Disney even get a hold of it and why hasnt Disney ever made a DVD Box-Set of it.


I hope that Hasbro/Paramount buys the rights or another company such as Rhino, or Sunbow the ones that made the original G1's if they are even still around.

Look Disneys too me seems to have had this for along time but has never done anything with it like another TV Favorite of mine The Mighty Ducks, nor have they made any of the other Jetix Shows on to DVD Box sets.

Power Rangers G1
Power Rangers G2
Power Rangers-Turbo
Power Rangers-Zeo
Power Rangers-Galaxy or In Space
Power Rangers-Mystic Force

The Mighty Ducks
Jackie Chan Adventures
X-Men
Spiderman-Ultimate
Spiderman
Kim Possible

Look they have been single dvds of it out such as Greates Hits and of course the movies also but never a complete dvd box-set.

None of the shows I mentioned have made it on dvd box set and disney should give the rights to someone who will.

It's simple. RiD was dubbed by Saban. Disney bought out Saban and thus aquired RiD.

Still I would like RiD to go to a normal company to final get the DVD Box Set treatment the only way that is going to be done is that it either goes to Hasbro/Paramount or goes to Rhino.

But my money is on Hasbro and I hope it will be done like the Energon and Cybertron DVD Box Sets.

But nothing will be done until someone buys the rights to the series.

Right now the series is just resting in suspended animation not doing anything or it could be just held up in legal limbo.

Right now it is sitting in a archive with 100 feet of dust on it cause it has not been used in over a decade.



I am just glad that Season 3 is in the works and I am fixing to get my Energon Box set in Decemeber.


So overall that is good enough but it would be nice if someone would do something about RiD.

But lookin how long it has been, I am having my dounbts that it will ever see the light of day on DVD.

But I have been proven wrong such as Energon and Cybertron never getting a DVD Box-Set. So I could be wrong about RiD also.

But as things stand right now it looks very doubtful the series will ever see anything done with it.

It is sad cause I done forgot what it was about and like I said it was almost a decade ago back in the early 90's.

Damn I am getting old.

I never said you did. That was just ment as an example of how "fraimed" could be used. Basically I was just saying that if you were fraimed you never actully commited any crime but the evidence still sugests you did.

What you were sugesting sounds like Optimus ACTULLY commits the crime. You even sugested that Rodimus sees him commiting said crime. You can't be fraimed for doing something that you actully did it has to be something you didn't do but looks like you did.

she may have just reversed engineered parts from Megatron.


She couldn't have done that to herself, she didn't even know about it.

I meant to saying that Isaac Sumdac could have used reversed egineering parts from Megatron onto Sari.

Possibly when she was younger maybe she was deathly sick or had a disease that was incurable. Or maybe she was crippled and would never be a normal human.

Thus sensing this Isaac Sumdac used reverse egineering from Megatron's Head and that is why Sari's Arm seems to be of Cybertronian Origin.

Also could explain why it looked a little wierd and alienish it looked sort of like the alien stuff you would see on Justice League.



Also I am sorry I phrased my sentencing wrong I meant to say Optimus may have taken the fall for something or someone could have planted some discreminating evidence against him cause they had a Grudge against Optimus.

Then they saw this evidence and Optimus was kicked out of the Academy for something he didnt do. Or he was trying to keep someone form getting kicked out of the academy and he took the blame and he got kicked out so they could stay in the academy.


Like I said we wont know until some more flash-back episodes are made in the upcoming season 3.

But mostly I am betting on Season 3 continuing more on Sari, Sumdac getting his tower back.

Introducing new Chracacters such as Rodimus and Strika, also returning chracters such as Omega Supreme, Starsceams Clones, Megatron will he be upgraded as Galvatatron or will Galvatron be a seperate being. No one knows and no one will know until season 3 is released next spring.

Also I say more characters will return and have more screen time.

Arcee
Wreck-Gar
Constructicons
Starscream's Head
Megatron
The Elite Gaurd
Mr. Powell
The Dinobots
Black Arachnia
Lockdown
Swindle

Dont know about the Human Villians such as Melt-Down or Slow-Mo


Look I am just happy season 3 isnt just a rumor now and we can have more closure on the story.

They are many questions that need to be answered in Season 3, and season 3 better live up to the hype.

But if it is being done bye the original Beast Wars writers, then we shouldnt have to much to worry about.

Overall we have to worry about is the waiting now. Which is still almost 6 or 7 months away.

But good news is better than bad news at least there is a season 3 now and it is not just wishful thinking or made-up rumors.

Not really. RiD aired on TV in 2001-2002. The TF show that was on in the early 90s was Transformers Generation 2, then Beast Wars in 1996.
