So how exactly does Drift's transformation into sword form work? It doesn't look like it should really be possible...

...Not really? I mean, the Wiki doesn't currently list the Starscream arc as Season 3.PrymeStriker wrote:So the Starscream thing is more or less officially under the second season. Alright. TFWiki will be undergoing some edits I imagine.
So, yeah, it is a part of Season 2, but more of an extension to that season made only after the fact, rather than an integral part that was always in the original plans for Season 2. Hence the "Season 2½" label the Wiki uses denote its separately-produced status.Seasons don't have 19 episodes, "Decepticon Island" is a clear season finale at the standard 13-episode production-unit mark, and the Starscream arc was promoted as "season 3" by the staff of the show at SDCC (and is even currently listed on Netflix and Cartoon Network's website under that name) because it was obviously produced as a separate 6-episode mini-series that wasn't considered part of season 2. They might've retroactively grouped it under that header, and I'm quite sure that if and when it's all released on a DVD box set it'll all be collected under the name of "season 2," but for us to just lump it in there is intellectually dishonest in regards to the nature of its production.

That clunkiness is part of the intent behind that label. When it was found out to be an extension of Season 2, it was originally labeled as "Season 2.5", but was changed to "Season 2½" to not only denote the distinction between the original Season 2 episodes and the mini-series, but all to enhance the label's comedy potential. It looks ridiculous because it's supposed to look ridiculous.PrymeStriker wrote:But yeah, I also figured they'd put it all under season two, or at the very least list season 2 "1/2" as a mini-series subcategory underneath the second season heading. Basically, my point is, "season 2 1/2" sounds clunky as all hell.

Well, we can confirm from you via showrunner Adam Beechen that there are 26 episodes to Season 3 as he is calling it, grouping the Starscream arc under Season 2 by the showrunner himself. This means that we now have 24 more episodes after "King of the Hill" to look forward to! What do you think of this final confirmation? Let us know in the comments section below!

Some sources like Netflix label the Starscream arc as "Season 3" because of its having been produced separately from the main 13 episodes of Season 2.o.supreme wrote:I always viewed the latter episodes with Starscream as part of season 2, always called it season 2 in all my comments...not sure where the confusion was...
CN doesn't have anything to do with RID's budget. They just broadcast it. The 19-episode count came about because Season 2 was originally billed a standard 13-episode amount, and then six more episodes were later produced as the mini-series/TV event that we got last Fall.o.supreme wrote:I mean I know CN has cut budgets for shows short before due to lack of toy sales causing fewer episodes to get produced, or canceled them outright- but for once I would think this is not the case with RiD15. CN has had a long sad history of poor decision making however. Why there were only 19 episodes for season 2 we may never know.

True, but that wasn't the case here. Season 2 aired its full original run, and then got a bonus batch of six more eps later (which aired on Teletoon in Canada before they aired on CN in the U.S., btw).o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:CN doesn't have anything to do with RID's budget.

That may be true, but if CN decides for whatever reason (ratings etc...) they don't want to pick up the show for another season it ends there, end of story, doesn't matter how well its doing elsewhere, unless Discovey Family were to pick it up... which I doubt would happen
The difference there is that Animated was made directly by Cartoon Network Studios (in co-production with a few Asian animation studios). CN had the full power to kill its production because they owned and controlled Animated's production, whereas RID is made wholecloth by Hasbro Studios.o.supreme wrote:TFA was distributed on all different networks around the world, but when CN in the U.S. ended it, it ended for everyone...the point is CN has been notorious for ending really good shows that both they themselves have produced, and ones they've merely broadcast.

Sabrblade wrote:If you recall what happened with Beware the Batman. CN pulled the plug on airing that show after just 11 episodes had aired, but that show was not produced by CN itself. Rather, it was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment (separate but related companies from CN itself), who had completed the show's 26-episode Season 1 production, and who managed to find alternative venues to get the rest of the season released to its viewers.
