IDK, I'm a little frightened to see what they are going to show us.

Wish they could show more episodes from other series, but I guess it would be confusing/frustrating for kids who wouldn't get to watch the whole show.

So The Hub Network is skipping Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Car Robots/RID, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and Animated. Stay classy Hub Network gotta show rescue bots.

They only have episodes from G1, Prime, and Rescue Bots because those are the only three TF shows that air on Hub Network.

Animated did air on the channel previously, but not anymore.

Did you watch the whole marathon of everything from 11am to 7:30pm?

Honest question, as I didn't get to watch any of it.

I watched the last episode of Rescue Bots of the marathon, and the entirety of The Transformers: The Movie and Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters "Predacons Rising". That's probably the issue.

Then again, everybody's asking about what happened to the preview on Facebook and other fansites. So... what the crap? :???:

No promo? Such sadness :'(

Here's that sneak peak we were promised 20 days ago.

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 2:25 pm

I recognize that art style. That's the same look as Di-Gata Defenders, Speed Racer: The Next Generation, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, etc.

So a stupid question, is this cconfirmed to be set after Predacons Rising? Either way I like what I see.

Yes. A few years after.

It's after Prime and Beast Hunters, but not immediately so.

Here's the vid on TF's Facebook page since they took the youtube vid down.

Ah good, now lets see what kind of leader they have bumblebees become. Plus I hope the preds are still around. Having a third faction in the mix could spice things up nicely.

All the videos showing the sneak peek are deleted due to copyright bullshit.

After watching a sneak peek at the brand-new Transformers: Robot In Disguise cartoon for 2015, I've notice a large, blue Autobot who is named Strongarm and it's a female and a male in previous incarnations. Based on the name and its appearance, it looks like Strongarm's robot mode is based upon a female bodybuilder. What do you guys think? Also, is she going to be a spiritual successor to Arcee? Is Arcee ever going to be shown in the cartoon as well along with Strongarm, just like she did with Transformers: Prime?

Renamed the thread, and off we go!

Looks interesting. I'm gonna give it a chance.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:05 am

I don't like what I see.

This preview looks exactly like the show TF Prime promised it would be with it's previews and descriptions, turns out they weren't lying, just giving us something better beforehand.

I'll give it a chance, but I don't think I'll like it.

And before anyone brings up the initial negative reaction to Animated and Prime:
Both shows had terrible promo material as far as character art, bios, interviews, and show descriptions, the teams behind those actively lied to us and made the shows look different from what they would be. Then we got the first actual clips from the actual show and we were blown away because we realized we've been had.
But this looks terrible after all the interesting promos.

I really, really don't like the animation in this, it's not as smooth as either Animated or Prime, plus it looks cheap and tacky. The character designs are kinda nice, but damn we're back to the crappy Transformation stock footage shtick?
