All in all, though, each of those shows that CN killed still had the entirety of their seasons fully completed before CN pulled the plug on their airing them.o.supreme wrote: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.
Actually that is a perfect example, Beware the Batman did not get any other channel to air its remaining episodes, instead, perhaps because of some contractual obligation, CN "aired" the remaining 15 during the middle of the night on adult swim, when they knew very few people if anyone would be watching. Also two other very popular Warner/DC shows (Young Justice & Green Lantern) got canceled by CN because "toys were not selling"...thankfully the fandom has been heard in the case of YJ and after 6 years, and a ton of miracles, it is getting a 3rd season on Netflix.
But these are just a couple of examples, CN has been known as "The Place where Good Cartoons go to Die" for sometime. Fortunately it appears Hasbro will be going another direction, as it normally does about every 3 years, so they wont have to worry about wondering if CN will pick up another season or not, I'm sure season 3 will have a proper ending. I can only hope that whatever the next mainstream Transformers Animated series is, that Hasbro does not continue to partner with CN...too much bad history there. If they are smart, they will partner with Netflix.

Sabrblade wrote: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.

It was nice seeing Team Bee go up against an actual Decepticon and fall flat on their face. They talked about losing their sharpness and all, but the Bee Team spent all of its "training" up against recently released prisoners. Sure, ther was Screamer, but they had help for him. That being said, I don't feel like this really needed to be 2 episodes. I am not sure what you cut out to to condense it, other than the totally unneeded Football game, as most of the action sequences were needed. but Heatseeker alone wasn't really enough to warrant two episodes. He felt repetitve. I liked his motives, and his stregy, and dare I say it his aggressiveness, although I completely agree with Pryme Strikeron hi vocal delivery., whoever Heatseeker's voice actor is really sucks donkey ass. The line delivery on that 'con was absolutely abysmal and cringeworthy.
Sideswipe/Strongarm felt like a step backwards. Surely by now they should be working in better synce in spite of each other's idiosyncracies. Iam kinda tired of that, too.
Poor Grimlock.
The Minicon really felt like a "To Sell Toys!" moment. ZFlying Bunblebee served no purpose, and as far as knocking loose his DH and scanner, that could easily have been chalked up to his regular battle with HeatSeeker. Is what it is though, I guess.
I am however, truly excited to see the Stunticons in action. Not sure why, but I have really resonated with them and even before Season 2 thought they would be good opponents for an Earth-based Autobot team. No huge interstellar plots, just good old King of the Road.
Soundwave spoke! While I, Like a lot of others, enjoyed his silent Prime run, lets be realistic, how else is he going to communicate when he's in another dimension? Gesture wildly? Shadow puppets? Long as he is not a chatterbox.
Fanfiction idea: What if, instead of Megatronus, it was Soundwave who orchestrated the crashing of the Alchemor on Earth? I've toyed with that thought for a long time, had they done that, they would have saved a season of "How is this a Sequel?"
I wonder how Soundwave gets loose from the Shadowzone?

Kurona wrote:Funny thing is, his whole deal of being a former Decepticon almost never plays into Drift's character. Oh sure, it happened in his spotlight and both of his spin-off miniseries in IDW, but beyond that? It doesn't come up during MTMTE, you wouldn't even know it's a part of his character in AOE unless you read one of the Titan comics (though, to be fair, you wouldn't know Drift's name in AOE unless you squinted hard at a two-second scene), and this is the first time it's coming up in Aligned. When he first created Drift, Shane McCarthy said he wanted to see what a character would be like if they were a Decepticon who turned Autobot - because that hadn't happened before 2008, clearly - and then never brought it up in AHM. Weird.
So what am I getting at here? This is the first time that any Drift will face their status of being a former Decepticon in the main story.

I'm pretty sure Slipstream said he used to be a thief back on Cybertron.

No but I only watched it once prior and that's when it came out and I'm forgetful so I only remember things that leave an impact on me.
But I'm sure I watched all of the RID shorts so far.
