That's what happens when you don't pay attention to the news.

Were getting two seasons and a movie in total.

That we know of so far. There's no confirmation on season 2 being the final season.

No definites but heavily hinted that the show will end after season 2 and the movie.

Sales for toys and dvds are probably not that great not saying thier going down the tube or losing money but it's a slower year.

If it does end will this be the shortest main western transformers show to not make it past 2 seasons?

Because Bumblebee, Defeater of Megatron, Slayer of Skyquake, Tamer of Predaking (sorta), Surviving Assailant of Trypticon and Slaughterer of Vehicons was apparently not battle-tested before this series began. Somehow.

Well, it did say that we will see the return of said Bumblebee, so perhaps the press release was trying to contrast him with his character in other fiction (Prime, the movies). RID Bumblebee is more confident than his prior iterations, as he must be to lead an Autobot team, and he's more battle-tested as a field leader post RID Season 1, especially after formulating the plan and leading the attack that defeated Megatronus.

Not by a longshot ... RID had 39 episodes, Beast Machines had 26 episodes, Beast Wars had 52, Cybertron had 52, Armada had 52 and Energon had 52.

Would that even count as a show?

Most machinima products have been dvd movies and small Web series.

I don't think Combiner wars is going to be that long at most 12 or13 episodes if it goes by anime standards which I only bring up since some Japanese company is working on the animation I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong only going by memory.

New "Meet the Autobots" recap trailer that features new footage from season 2, including shots of Overload, a small lizard guy (Crazybolt? Though he looks kinda different), and the arctic-based redecos in the toyline:

News Credits: 174 · by **Hellscream9999** » Sat Jan 23, 2016 1:30 am

Fellow Seibertronians, Hasbro Studios Shorts has uploaded a new video titled "Meet the Autobots". It appears to be a trailer focusing on recapping the Autobot cast and features new footage from season 2. This includes shots of the new Decepticon Overload, a small lizard that resembles Crazybolt, and the arctic-based redeco of Optimus Prime.

As of right now you have to view it on YouTube, so check it out using the link below, and tell us what you think of the trailer. Are you excited for this new season? How about the new criminals, con's, and arctic deco upgrades? Let us know in the comments below.

Hellscream9999, I'm excited for Season 2 as much as all of you guys. But, the new orange Decepticon in the trailer is definitely not Crazybolt, as he is a horned lizard, and this new one is in fact an alligator. The website named, TFW2005.com assumed that the Alligator is a Minicon, in which he didn't appeared to be.

Sometime today, if you please, show us the trailer for the Decepticons, since we do saw the trailer for the Autobots. I do really want to see which Cons are debuting and which ones are returning.

You sound like he possesses a Decepticon trailer that he's held back from showing to us. This Autobots one came from Hasbro and was posted on YouTube by Hasbro. None of us have any control over these trailers. You assume that anyone can just show a Decepticon trailer when there is none to show.

Crazybolt isn't a horned lizard, he's just a made up reptilian looking Decepticon! Same with the new little reptile character, he's not any particular species, he's just a lizard and not a alligator. How do I know this? Alligator's can't jump like that, and having one do so in show would really stretch the credibility of it's already subpar animal-gimmick 'Cons.

Well, that orange lizard in the cartoon that Hasbro just showed us isn't Crazybolt, is he? Is the new orange lizard a Minicon like Fixit or a Decepticon like Steeljaw?

I'll agree with you on that one, and I wasn't saying he is Crazybolt, I'm simply arguing your instant branding of the character as being based on a certain kind of lizard is hasty.

And we don't know if that's a Minicon or Decepticon, or both. Nobody on here is holding a gigantic leather-bound answer key to the show, we know only as much as you do.

Visual designer and illustrator Augusto Barranco has tweeted some old concepts for the Transformers: Robots in Disguise series, as the second season rolls out its carpet and teasers (which you can see here). Namely, we get a look at Micronus, Optimus Prime's Yoda-esque mentor and envoy of the Primes, and some more defined art of Ped. Check them out mirrored below!

Micronus Prime certainly looks like a mystical bad ass in that art (and the Covenant of Prime book), shame the version from the show is all squat like the other Minicons in the series.

Well, at least all the blizzard decos have a reason! And Overload will appear! nice!

Should the Decepticons from Season 1 choose to break free and re-appear in Season 2, I really do hope that they all form into an army by Steeljaw and take on the Autobots all at once. Also, if Pseudo chooses to return in Season 2, I really do hope that he remain as this:

and not evolved into this:

However, if a ladybug Decepticon chooses to debut in Season 2, I would suspect that is definitely not him.

Ha! The show isn't canceled after season 2! It's getting a season 4!

Er, what I mean is, one of the show's storyboarders, Kirk Van Wormer, Tweeted about a week ago that he and his coworkers are working on the show's "season 4", which is odd considering there hasn't been any word of a third season yet.

If this does in fact turn out to be true, I will be oh so happy
