But the point I was getting at is, well, what would adding Decepticons to the show add to the show? If the answer is "warfare" then that would defeat the whole point of this show's existence. We had Prime for that and we'll have RID for that as well. This show is to give us something outside of the typical war pattern that we always get. Making it into just another war would rid it of what makes it special.
There's no fighting allowed in this show. If there were to be Decepticons in it, they couldn't be fought against, so they'd either conquer and kill everyone within the first 20 minutes, or they wouldn't be allowed to be a credible threat. I'm almost fairly certain that no one would want to see any Decepticon get nerfed and neutered into being nonviolent and easy to beat.
And besides, the lack of Decepticons in this show is part of its charm. It allows this show to do things that other TF shows never got to do because of all the warfare getting in the way. In those other series, the war is the focus so it take precedence over much else, but in this show, it would very much be an inhibition and invasion upon an otherwise well made non-war show.
Thing is, is that so wrong? Is it wrong for there to be a Transformers sitcom? I mean, we get so much of the same thing all the time, so much of the same setup of fighting between factions. Just once, isn't nice that we have something that allows the Transformers to invest their lives in other things besides warfare?Ultra Markus wrote:I guess thats just the way i like my Transformers shows always having a decepticon/predicon/vehicon threat to deal with or even human for that matter, to me without that this show seems more like a sitcom featuring Transformers Perhaps it should be called The Burns of Griffin Rock Featuring The Autobots!

I mean, IDW's been experimenting with something like this in MTMTE and RID since it ended the Autobot/Decepticon war back in early 2011. Sure, there's still threats and conflicts going on in those series, but the war finally put to rest there.
It's really refreshing that modern fiction has allowed there to be actual full series that show the more civil and casual sides of our favorite robots in disguise as real people instead of mere pawns of war.

ctrlFrequency wrote:That's kind of why I specified, conflict never seems like the right term to use but in the absence of coffee, it was the best I was coming up with (modern usage of the term and all is more towards conflict being warfare as the media and our government tends to refer to the act of war as 'conflict', the war used to be called 'conflict in the middle east' rather than war, but that's all just spin that ended up spinning the other way and swapped the term. I'm not defending my choice of words inasmuch as I should have been thinking more clearly. But I blame not being a morning person in a morning person world)
Obstacle might be a good way (that's the politically correct term) to describe the action in rescue bots.
It's a problem (obstacle) solving formula show, even when they throw in faction based conflict (good guys vs bad human guys) they don't have to deviate too far from the formula. Dr Morocco and Madelyn Pynch don't normally make it straight up 'fighting' but simply give a new problem (obstacle) to be solved.
Well, I wouldn't call any of them "cute", but if the Transformers weren't lovable, I doubt many of us would even be here.Ultra Markus wrote:this was never supposed to be a political debate i just in my opinion transformers were not supposed to be cute and lovable aliens trying to figure out life on earth

Though, the Transformers were learning about Earth as early as G1, and do so in nearly every series. It's just something that comes natural with a change of scenery.

Maybe for this one they wanted it to air in the winter for the holiday season, but couldn't do so in its proper airing placement. Like how "Walk on the Wild Side" first aired out of order to fall on Earth Day.Nemesis Primal wrote:Flashwave wrote:Well, there's one S2 ep
Yeah, so we just need to wait for the other one to surface.
Still, I can't help but wonder why they got pushed back.
