Why the spoiler tags, guys? These eps aired when they were supposed to, not ahead of time. We don't need to spoiler-tag for episodes that air on time (this thread and the Prime thread are full of unspoiler-tagged episode talk).

oh yeah, sorry, forgot about that

but then again.....maybe not everyone's seen those yet

That's why we posted episode links to watch 'em. Otherwise, they needn't come into this thread until they do see them.

Eh, I am used to a notion that a Spoiler doesn't expire until at least the next day, for those ho can't watch it right when it airs. It is a colossal pain in the aft though, I admit.

Going back and watching again. Can we get a pan shot on Boulder's painting? The one of freakin' Cybertron??? Please?

Sorry for the Double Post.

Showed these to my son. He enjoyed watching them, but as expected I can see he is beginning to age out. I'm sure he will stick with it if this is the last season, if it goes on much more I doubt it. Although he doesn't miss a beat, when the Rescue Bots activated their ground bridge and saw (seemingly two of them) he immediately said "Shadow Zone...cool Soundwave!"... but then I reminded him who this show was for, and that they would never do that.

I am curious though, to see if we get any links between RB and RiD, so we can get some idea of how much time has actually passed between the end of Prime, and the beginning of RiD. Based on the aging of Cody, and the fact that Doc Green (& Wife) now have a baby, Id say 2-3 years at the most since the events of the end of season 3. But Cody seems to talk as if it had been several yeas, but then again, the passage of time from a kids point of view is a bit different than an adults.

i still say that new training centre will possibly be Grandus it's certainly a robot in disguise, seeing as they're giving us enough hints about it, as for a playset coming out....as long as it isn't like the non robot playset of High Tide(YES! i know that more recently the Deep Water High Tide came out that DOES transform into a robot).

[Sabrblade]

i still say that new training centre will possibly be Grandus

Why? Why would you ever think that something so obscure and unknown by the general fandom would even be on the radar of this show whose target audience would barely even know who Megatron is? This is a not a show that dives that deep into obscurity.

Your expectations of Grandus are highly unrealistic, as the current team at Hasbro likely doesn't know who Grandus even is, let alone that he exists. The team who made Titan class Metroplex had never even heard of Metrotitan, who is just as obscure as Grandus.

Someone even said that the current Hasbro didn't even know what Beast Wars was until the fans had explained it to them.

well....we'll just see how this plays out....on the show....& what/who this building eventually turns out to be!....if i'm right i'm right.....if i'm wrong....then....i'm wrong

oh...& hypothetically....say that it did turn out to be Grandus! would you hate on the series & suddenly stop watching it from then on in? seeing as you are trying to justify against it being him.

Thanks to a video found on Youtube, we now have a good lengthy look at new Rescue Bot Quickshadow! What is really cool is that this new Rescue Bot will be voiced by Alex Kingston, who played fan favourite River Song on Doctor Who. Quickshadow shall be making her debut in Rescue Bots this coming Saturday. We have mirrored the video below for you to watch and enjoy. Let us know what you think of our newest Rescue Bot member in the comments section below, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Oof, sounds like Doctor Who's River Song can't do voice acting that well.

Voice is off sync with body posture, and a little staccato, but I can warm up to it. if she's a good character.

[Madeus Prime]

Seems like they stole her character from Doctor Who, being a professional (agent/archaeologist) who likes to work alone and is really good at her job (shooting aliens/being a secret agent), all the while making her contemporaries feel inferior (hijacking the team's ground bridge/piloting the Tardis better than the Doctor), additionally sometimes seeming like she has some other motive (showing up out of the blue after messing with the team/showing up out of the blue after messing with the team)

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Hot on the heels of that New video showing off Quickshadow we now have a listing on Zap2it for the 8th episode of Season 4! The episode is titled Enemy of my Enemy and contains the following description;

When the Rescue Bots are captured by a new villain, the Burns family finds an unexpected ally in a former enemy.

So who is this new villain? What do you think of this coming episode? Let us know what you think in the comments section below, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

[Deadput]

Dr Morocco is that you?

Actually maybe it's a Morbot since it's getting a new toy that is also a new mold (It's not Blurr's mold just similar)

[Deadput]

well....we'll just see how this plays out....on the show....& what/who this building eventually turns out to be!....if i'm right i'm right.....if i'm wrong....then....i'm wrong

Who the hell is Grandus?

"one google search later"

Umm that guy hey I never knew this guy existed until now (I know of his Animated counterpart but thought it was an original character)


First of all it will never be someone like Grandus that a total of like 7 people give a scrap about second why would Sabr hate the show and stop watching if it was?


Sabrblade is just saying it will not be Grandus if anything your trying to hard to justify why some exclusive Japanese and obscure Transformer would ever be in a North american show for kids.

[Flashwave]

Considering we already have a bot like High Tide, a trabsforming base is not an impossibility. Will it be Grandus? Probably not, and at this point I think its more of a rearranging building like AutobotCity was in the 86 movie (and not Metroplex) than a city bot, but a High Tide like Basebot is perfectly reasonable


And if we don't get a Titans Return Headmaster High Tide I say we riot!

well you've just contradicted yourself there! coz your just by saying that you knew of him appearing in TFA! & TFA was a North American show for kids

[Flashwave]

So, I'm probably just making stuff up, the idea od f Special Agent (First Responder) Rescue Bot is pretty cool, but what if Quick Shadow is more like the Prime Smokescreen: what Prime SAID, was "Go find the Rescue Bots, but be careful getting to Griffin Rock, they don't know who we are yet." but she'd spent so much time alone making fantasies for herself out of boredom, that what she heard was "Secret Agent Spy Mission: Locate the Rescue Bots

In other Transformers: Rescue Bots news today, we have the confirmation that voice actor Jeff Bennett - the man behind Huxley Prescott, Mayor Luskey, Deputy Barney, but also Prowl, Ultra Magnus, Captain Fanzone, Angry Archer, Soundwave, Mixmaster in Transformers: Animated, and of course Johnny Bravo - has received the Creative Arts Emmy for Best Performer in an Animated Program. Check out the other nominees in the category below, too!

BEST PERFORMER IN AN ANIMATED PROGRAM
Danny Jacobs, “All Hail King Julien”
Carlos Alazraqui, “The Fairly OddParents”
Eric Bauza, “The Adventures of Puss in Boots”
X — Jeff Bennett, “Transformers: Rescue Bots”
Reid Scott, “Turbo FAST”

[Sabrblade]

Sweet! That makes three TF cartoons to be Emmy award winners!

[Deadput]

Well you've just contradicted yourself there! coz your just by saying that you knew of him appearing in TFA! & TFA was a North American show for kids

First of all I don't recognize his name I only knew who Grandus was by the only time he was in the spotlight and he was not even called by name it's not contradiction at all.


But Grandus wasn't even important in the show neither was he made into a toy he was just a generic background character and that show was brimming with references to past shows and toylines anyways do you really think most kids or Transformers fans would give a darn about Grandus even if we knew he existed?

Absolutely not and there will never be a chance for Grandus to be in Rescue bots hell if a giant bot was going to be in the show it would be likely be Omega Supreme, Metroplex, Fortress Maximus or a new guy made for the show.

[Megatron Wolf]

Lets not forget Kyle Katarn in Jedi Knight and Brooklyn in gargoyles along with so many other memorable characters. But anyway its nice to finally see all these great voice actors winning awards, Jeff Bennett is another of the all time best VAs and definitely deserves it.

[Windsweeper]

I like him as Chase in Rescue Bots. He was great in Gargoyles as Brooklyn and Owen Burnett

the structure doesn't look anything like Omega or Fort Max! so hopefully a new guy then
