Yeah, so, the recordings for the Fall episodes should be done by now, so I guess Kirk Van Wormer was serious when he said that he was storyboarding for "Season 4".Deathsanras wrote:TV cartoons typically take 9-12 months to produce. When they're not ADR/post dubbed (ala Armada, Energon, Cybertron), the voice recording comes first (per Beast Wars, Beast Machines). If Zimmer is currently or recently recording Strongarm, the implication is that next year a new season (or other incarnation, e.g.: movie) would appear.

In other words, WOOO, Season 4's coming, guys!

Go watch the show again. He has a voice. He makes noises. Cackling noises. Those were done by Will Friedle. That counts as a voice role. Friedle's even credited for it in the show's end credits. YOU deal with it.psj333 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What do you mean "finally"? He's already voiced a Decepticon. He voiced Chop Shop's component Righty.
Righty doesn't speak nor he has any dialogue for the role. Also, he is not a Decepticon, but a Minicon. Deal with it!.![]()

Was Grimlock's new disguise supposed to be a reference to the other RiD Grimlock? I know I certainly thought of that guy, even if it's not an exact match.
WiseMan wrote:So I saw the first part of Decepticon Island.
Here's my big, GIANT problem with it:
The Autobots mention that they don't have time to call Cybertron and get a strike team there in time to help them. I've always hated the fact that they've completely ignored Unit E's space bridge, but this was the last straw. Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ratchet are all there and they've all used it! And it would literally do exactly what they just said couldn't be done! Ratchet's appearance gave them the perfect chance to explain what happened to it; they could have one-lined it away with a "too bad Unit E's space bridge was dismantled" or something, and they didn't do it.
Don't get me wrong, I like the show, but the only way I can watch it is as a sequel to events that happened similar to, but not exactly like, Prime, the same way you have to look at the Aligned books, comics, and games. Because otherwise, if you take RiD as a direct sequel to Prime, the way it's billed, Unicron could fit through the plot holes.

I think it was stated 10 years had passed. If the question was about "why don't they just call unit:e/fowler/etc."... That's a bit of a problem I've had with the series as a whole. The criticism can be applied the momemt Bumblebee stepped on Earth in Pilot Part 1.

PrymeStriker wrote:We don't know how much time has passed on Earth between Prime and RiD. Both Bumblebee and Ratchet have considerably aged since the previous series, and there certainly had to be time for Cybertron to massively repopulate the way it did by the time of Pilot (Part 1), let-alone for Strongarm, Sideswipe, and the Minicons to be born and for a new council to be established. That stuff just doesn't happen overnight. Unit: E could be roof-deep in sand and Jack, Miko, and Raf could be long dead.

I mean, that sort of thing happens all thr time in Transformers and no-one blinks an eye - probably because they're robots.
The dinobots, stunticons and quite a few others back in G1, Airazor was implied in Beast Wars; eveb as recent as Wreck-Gar and the Constructicons in Animated.
It's really nothing new. It sounds and feels weird sure, but likely because it's the first time you've really actually thought and stated to yourself "... Wait, that would make her ten years old."
In any case, I'm not actually sure if it is ten years, was just going by memory. I don't really think it was enough time for Raf to have lived his whole life though, and you'd think something on the subject would have been said by now.

Sabrblade wrote:Transformer ages in relation to their births are all really one big kerfuffle when you think about it.
Going by just the Beast Wars cartoon, Tigatron was "born" an old man while youngster teenage Cheetor was "older" than him.
Animated had both an adult Ratchet and a teenage Prowl alive during the Great War, a time that Optimus Prime didn't yet live to experience. Yet, while Ratchet is even older an adult during the present day era of the Animated cartoon, Prowl is still only a teen bot (probably a late teen by this point) while the "younger" Optimus Prime is Prowl's senior as a young adult.
And then we have the Aligned versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Optimus's first reincarnation resulted in him being born from the Well of All Sparks as the young bot Orion Pax, and as one of the first generation of bipedal Cybertronians near the beginning of the Age of Evolution. Eons later, the bot who would become Megatron was born from the Well during the Age of Wrath, long after Orion Pax was born. And yet, by the time the two come to meet each other during the Age of Rust, Orion is perceived as being "Megatronus's" junior, with the former looking up to the latter as the more seasoned bot, suggesting that Megatron was born from the well as an adult rather than born as a young bot like Orion was.
Thus, for all we know, Strongarm could have been born as a much older bot than Slipstream was.

In other threads on this board, as there's plenty more relevant stuff to talk about here than just this cartoon. With no new episodes until the Fall, and no recent news about the show, there's not much else current to discuss about it.psj333 wrote:Well, at last! There you all are! Where have you've guys been?

psj333 wrote:Well, at last! There you all are! Where have you've guys been? I've been waiting for almost a week just for you to say something. Now we do already know that Season 3 will be airing this fall, there are some few things that we all need to discuss, no matter who is right or wrong. Okay. Let's get this things started. Now that Steeljaw's army have been jailed and taken back to Cybertron, who is going to be the next main bad guy for Season 3 as a successor to Steeljaw? Will Hssbro also introduce brand-new Decepticons for both Seasons 3 and 4 who will have god-like powers, that is, as powerful as Unicron or Primus?
Another thing that we need to talk about is you might remember Shockwave from Animated who was known to the Autobots as Longarm. He had 2 humanoid robot modes, and 2 vehicle modes. Using this exact same concept by Hasbro, I do have a strong prediction that somewhere between Season 3 or 4, Hasbro will very likely introduce a spy Transformer either for the Autobots or Decepticons that will most likely have 2 humanoid robot modes, 1 beast mode, and 1 vehicle mode. How cool would that be? I do understand that some animal Decepticons only have a humanoid robot mode and a beast mode, but no vehicle mode. Fine, I get that! But what if they have an additional altmode, which is the vehicle mode? What would that be like? Tell me what you guys think.![]()

I didn't get that from the last episode at all. It was left rather blasé. If we didn't get some sort of confirmation at BC that more episodes were coming, there were no indicators based on the last episode that the series would continue. It just sort of *ended* as unsatisfying and anti-climactic as it was. I still say this is *really* a continuation of S2, more than S3, but whatever...hopefully the new episodes will have a better storyline than the previous batch of 13, not that there weren't some good moments, but overall it just kind of fell flat.

PrymeStriker wrote:The Cybertron council regime isn't the possible beginning of a new, interesting story? 'Cause I'm pretty sure most people got the vibe that they're going to focus on that next season at some point at the very least. Also, faux definitive endings are going to be common place in every finale because the writers are never sure Cartoon Network will allow them to continue another season. I certainly felt by the end of season two that more was to come, and never assumed that there was no "next season". I think the announcement was already out by the time it aired anyway?
