Agreed, I'd love though if they establish them as separate characters, like in IDW.
NO! That's not what happens! Grimlock never went out in public in these episodes. He was always in a remote area with not people besides Russell and Denny. And future episodes deal with his conspicuous altmode situation.jON3.0 wrote:There were also glaring problems. Bumblebee commands Strongarm and Sideswipe to scan for Earth vehicle forms so they can be "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE" while Grimlock is trouncing around as a giant robot Dinosaur??? Wow, really?
That is not what "dumbed down" means. I strongly take offense to the idea that "lighter" = "dumber" since the two are not mutually exclusive. How can you say that this show is dumbed down like Rescue Bots when Rescue Bots itself isn't even dumbed down? Why, Rescue Bots is one of the most mature series we've ever gotten, and one of the most mature shows, period, on television, compared to a lot of other garbage shows that air for children and even for adults.jON3.0 wrote:And the show is extremely dumbed down for kids. It's almost Rescue Bots-level humor and writing but just add fighting and Decepticons with better animation.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO! Ugh! That's not what this show is about! Optimus Prime is a guest star! He's barely in this show. You can't make full assumptions on the entire series based on a single scene of a single episode.jON3.0 wrote:And lastly, Optimus can just show up every time there's no way out and save the day? But he's dead? And he's alive? And he's a ghost? But he's also solid? Well, that's just both confusing AND convenient! So now they can write themselves into whatever corners they want and at the last second Optimus Prime magically appears and POOF! the day is saved. That's lazy writing, sorry.
It's supposed to have 78 episodes.Noideaforaname wrote:I'm a bit worried how long it'll last, though.
There's all kinds of Cybertronian fauna that differ from the standard bipedal types of Cybertronians. Though, the Predacons were special becaue they were like the Cybertronian equivalent of dinosaurs. They were the last species to be born from the Well of All Sparks during the Well's original production of the first generation of Cybertronians (to come after the Thirteen, that is) during the Age of Evolution, but all went extinct during the Great Cataclysm that killed them all off. Other Cybertronian species survived this crisis, but not the Predacons. So, other species naturally exist in the present day.NuclearConvoy wrote:I do question, though, why "Predacons" were seen as these ancient, very different things in Prime and then this sequel has Dinobots, Chompazoids etc. which share some distinct characteristics with them...
Yes, they are. The games, novels, and select comic material are set thousands of years in the past, while Prime, Rescue Bots, and select other comics are set in the present, and RID is set some undisclosed time after the present.NuclearConvoy wrote:The PS3-era video games are also a part of this continuity, right? Can someone help me to understand how such disparate moods and content fit together?
Never fear! All nine episodes are here!ScottyP wrote:I forgot this came on. Going to go find it online somewhere and set the DVR before I have to go to fan jail.
Well, the Predacons from Go! were led by Dragotron.Goldbug2 wrote:I just watched the first two episodes on Cartoon Network. I'd sern the first two episodes when it first came on youtube. I'm glad to see cartoon network has finally placed these two episodes on American broadcasting. It kind of has a mixture of Transformers Prime and the first season of the original Transformer series. It's great to see Decepticons ejecting from bigger Decepticons once more. And they finally have a Decepticon leader other than Megatron. It's been like, what, since Transformers Victory or Beast Wars Neo since they've had a different leader?
Other than episode 2, I can't think of any episode that used a Deus ex Machina to solve its problem.welcometothedarksyde wrote:My only gripe is that the plots are not extremely good and tend towards using deux ex machinas in place of clever solutions to problems. However with time they'll probably get better at that.
Yes, but, in a rudimentary way since all of the parties involved in each branch of the continuity tended to do their own thing rather than try and keep all things coherent with each other. But, certain mediums like the comics and the Rescue Bots cartoon have tried to hold things together better than most.NuclearConvoy wrote:So, out of curiosity, is the series actually a follow up to the same continuity line that has WFC/FOC games in it?
At this time, we do not know. But, during the live Twitter session with the RID cast and crew, several fans asked Mairghread Scott what the nature with Grimlock was in regards to what, if any, connection he might have with FOC Grimlock, and she specifically gave no answer to those kinds of questions, which suggests that something might be afoot behind the scenes. They Tweeted her specifically about this because she was the one who wrote the Rage of the Dinobots and Beast Hunters comics that deliberately worked to get the FOC Dinobots into the world of the Prime cartoon, as well as her having also written several episodes for Prime.NuclearConvoy wrote:Then, according to Habro, there are two separate Grimlocks or a major personality shift and a bunch of memories forgotten have occured?
HOLY SNAP! That opening used a mix of preexisting American cartoon footage with NEW Japanese-original footage!!!Va'al wrote:As the new animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguis airs in the United States, after travelling halfway around the world, we get a new clip showing off the music for the Japanese dub of the show, titled Transformers: Adventure!

Actually from the Covenant of Primus there is a Galvatron in the Aligned universe that's separate from Megatron and Megatronus/Fallen who if I'm right is a leader of a trade group so Galvatron being a separate character from Megatron isn't too far off.

Not bad, I can't judge the series yet because nothing has really happened. All I can hope is for an increase in views of the toys. I also hope that those of you watching it online are also going to watch the episodes as they air, you're only hurting the brand if you don't.

Seems to be an ominous shadowy figure behind the cons there. Would that be the'boss' Terrashock tried to contact?
Y'know what I'd like? If this show gave us a Decepticon leader like Skrash. These obscure leaders and names need some love.
