Man, that timeslot sucks. It's the same time they gave Transformers Animated, and look how that turned out!

I don't understand why they moved it from the Hub/Discovery Kids. Seems like a really dumb move, to be blunt.

It's because Cartoon Network is more accessible to a wider amount of viewers. More kids watch CN than the Hub, so Hasbro Studios wanted the show on a channel that more kids (especially boys) watch. It's all due to exposure.

Doesn't a horrible timeslot mean they won't get that exposure?

According to the statistics this guy posted:

On the, honestly kinda depressing side, the average ratings for 6:30 am time slot on Cartoon Network is still 850,000 viewers.

Which is STILL better than The Hub's top new episode premiere ratings which averaged 650,000. CN's death timeslot is still better than The Hub's best was.

Well I'll be watching this on demand. For those of you looking forward to illegal streams I do hope you'll make some effort to watch the US episodes too.

[Autobot Megatron]

I'm going to choose to ignore the sad fact this show is officially in for a sad, depressing death now, and ask what's really bothering me.
The Candy Land Movie is still actually happening?

[Noideaforaname]

That's just sad. I mean, this show was going to get screwed anyway, but it's like they're not even pretending to try.

[Treetop Maximus]

Well, hopefully the one season it gets will be pretty good. Too bad I'll have to watch it on DVR because the timeslot conflicts with my schedule.

[PrymeStriker]

Dear Cartoon Network,

You guys are dumbasses.

Sincerely,


The World

[RSDADDIMUS2]

Where's Windblade? This isn't going to be just another "female Transformer's name used on a Mini-Con" scenario, is it?

[william-james88]

Wait wait, so they were able to get Peter Cullen to come in for the promo but NOT Will Friedle?!

[Sabrblade]

Why would they show a character who's only recently just entered the rumor stage along with characters who have been established as real for months now?

Like, they didn't show Airachnid or Dreadwing in the first promos of Prime.

Around 0.46-0.52, bottom right corner. Looks like Windblade to me!



Also, she has been rumoured to be in the show, and Mairghread Scott is writing some episodes for the series, too. Speculation? Sure, but I think there is foundation to it.

Oh ho! That looks promising. I really hope that she is the same character as her IDW twin (as in the same slightly naïve personality). Also, she should be voiced by Tara Strong, just because.

Ugh, I hate grimlocks new voice. Why is peter cullun the ojly iconic voice they can bring back ? They should have brought back the grimlock guy, whatever his name was. Dinos need to sound slow, mean, and dumb. This grimlock sounds like a teenager on energy drinks.

Lots of dinosaur-altmoded TFs don't sound like G1 Dinobot stereotypes.

That is true, but not counting Peter Cullin, what G1 voice is more Iconic than Grimlock's ?

Heres my top 5 picks for G1 cartoon iconic voices:


1. Optimus
2. Grimlock
3. Starscream
4. Megatron
5. Perceptor

I know the Starscream actor is dead, but it should be mandatory to bring back the other 4 in every new cartoon, not just Peter Cullin.

This isn't G1.

I was beginning to believe that Bisk a young Decepticon. According to the Master Of Destruction clip from youtube, Bisk is being described as a big, bulky muscular bot, with a voice like that of a young man. What you say about that? Is Clampdown the youngest Decepticon, since that he is the smallest in size and the newest member of Steeljaw's army? I do hope that Bisk, Chop Shop, and Terrashock do show up at this year's Toy Fair. Bisk and Chop Shop, showed up on Episode #4, and Terrashock showed up on Episode #5. I was hoping to see a Warrior class of the Underbite, Quillfire, Ped, and Clampdown, and quite possibly that skunk, that is yet to be named. I'm pretty sure that all of these toys will be at the Toy Fair right before the show makes it's debut next month.

Why is Soundwave not number 2?


Soundwave is more iconic then Grimlock and Grim would be at number 5 at that list and the hell is Perceptor doing there he wasn't that important.


Plus cartoon Grimlock is stupid and not that many in the fandom like him especially compared to the marvel comics version I prefer this Grimlock over maid Grimlock (you know what I mean when I say maid).
