just watched episode 11 of season 2! & yet another great action packed episode

seeing Prime in vehicle mode just gets me every time Stockade & his army of tough minicons(hup hup hup hup) were a formidable opponent for the Autobots, although i've no idea what sort of vehicle Stockade turns into great to see Drift's minicons being used by other Autobots(well....mostly Sideswipe)
all in all yet another fun episode

I agree about the minicon deployment. considering all the cons now seem to have a pair as backup, it's good to see the bots using it with their 2 minis

Having now watched episode 11, I can say I'm really happy with how the series has gone and look forward to the 2 part finale. I am loving the show and i hope it keeps going. The Bisk v. Bee scene fighting on stage at a rock concert is my absolute favorite fight scene!

Agreed on episode 11. Favorite model of Minicon yet, I loved those guys! Also, not to sound like a certain uber-fan, but what the heck was Stockade supposed to be based on? It looked like either a packrat or a kangaroo

Going out on a limb, some kind of rodent. That thing was weird. And at first I thought he'd be Scatterspike too!

probably an armadillo

Personally, I would've preferred for the two to not be saddled with legacy character names - not out of a misguided sense of preserving the G1 iterations, but I just enjoy having entirely fresh characters fleshed out. Still, a well-recognized name is a powerful marketing tool, particularly post-Age of Extinction.

True, I would've loved to have seen some original Autobots introduced to the public. When I say original, I mean ones that aren't recognized as Transformers by the common fan.

Ah, that...doesn't make the slightest sense in terms of a theme, but okay!

Well, like, Simacore was based one an orangutan, a highly intelligent animal, that paired well with his "genius" personality. Or Octopunch and Hammerstrike being sort of like pirates whilst having sea based alt modes. I don't see the correlation between an armadillo and a drill sergeant

[o.supreme]

um... Texas has Armadillos and Military bases... The nut/cigarwas a nice touch

He's not a drill sergeant. He's an army general. An army general armadillo. An armored army general armadillo, even.

I hope you can see the pattern since the spoiler tags seem to be making it harder to see even when highlighted.

Stockade might a general. But he is certainly not an armadillo, but a badger, according to official sources. If you don't know what a badger looks like, google the picture of that animal to find out for yourselves.

What official sources?

Google is not an official source, btw.

ok...so I know in the past at BC they have always had panels dedicated to whatever animated series was currently in production, or airing. All I can currently find are panels with regard to the toys. Any assistance is appreciated.

There were only cartoon panels at BotCon where members from the cartoons' production staff were present. Hasbro Studios was not in attendance of BotCon this year, hence there was no RID cartoon panel.

man...that stinks...Kind of sad they don't even make any effort to promote the animated series. Of the 3 mediums 1. toys, 2. animation/film & 3.comics/written works - Animation is the part I follow the most. Glad I did not make the effort to go this year.

So basically after this weekend...we know there is supposed to be an RiD animated movie *at some point* but that is all...

We will find out more at SDCC, for sure.

Fellow Seibertronians, a short clip from the upcoming episode of the new season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise has been uploaded to CartoonRealms' YouTube account. The synopsis has been left below, and you can also check out the video along with it. So let us know what you think in the comments below.

Grimlock's quest for an effective disguise goes into overdrive when Quillfire returns and Bumblebee and Strongarm find themselves stuck in an impound lot.

[Sabrblade]

Seems like all these clips just end up being the very beginning of each episode.

Yup, that seems to be the pattern, they also seem to have nothing to do with the synopsis provided

[Break]

Oh no, not another 'Bee Team episode. I've been trying to review these episodes for my website, but this team lack the interesting characters. Give me Windblade, Drift, and Optimus please.

Uh, the Bee Team episodes are the best ones in this season. The Stealth Team episodes are BORING as all get out. And this episode is hilarious, too.

I'll say no more of it to avoid spoilers.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

The Bee team has been a good run. Plus we need to provide time for the away team to actually travel somewhere where there are cons

[ausbot]

Gotta say I like the team prime episodes better.

[Kurona]

I've really not been enjoying the Stealth Team episodes to be quite honest. Slipstream and Jetstorm are probably my favourite autobots in the series along with Strongarm, but aside from that? Drift is still really obnoxious, Optimus is being an incompetent ass if he's not being as boring as he was in Prime, Sideswipe is... fine, and I kind of lost all respect for Windblade when she had to be rescued from a situation she could easily have flew out of that she got herself into because she was brandishing her sword at a squirrel. I really hate that episode.

[Madeus Prime]

OH MAH GAWD, Ratchet is back and he acts and looks so much cooler!!
