I appreciate your point of view here psj33. I would not mind a toy of a shifter, it would be really neat! The best way I'd like on see though, would be like those hero factory toys. you have a basic skeleton, but then you can build on it and change it. A shifter could be a protoform looking thing for instance, and you can buy kits to build a robot on it that can at least transform, like those builder bots from AoE. They just need to have a robot on one side and that robots alt mode on the bottom. it would work very well. you could easily make a shifter then!
Also, I cannot remember if it was confirmed, But a Warrior Thunderhoof and Megatronus would catch my eye. Maybe Clampdowm, but Those 2 are my favorite bad guys. I'm only planning on getting Swipe, fix and Strong right now, but if those 2 come out, I would gladly pick them up. :BOT:

You know, D-Maximus_Prime, I feel the same way,too. I wish that most of those toys will be made just like everyone else.

Now, I'm pretty sure that most of you are already familiar with the Terminator movie series. Two Terminator models, T-1000 and the T-X are considered Shifters of Terminators. Guess what? They already got their toys forms at the time. Hopefully they will do the same things with Transformers, not just Terminators.

Also, to say that Shifters are never born with their original robot and altmodes is very misleading. What you might not realized is that in the Terminator franchise when T-1000 was created, his original form was that of LAPD officer and the T-X was that of a leather-clad secretary. :CON:

I find it fascinating how you always refer to your opinion as that of the collective fandom. Believe it or not, not all of us want to see some of the Decepticons back. For example, Kickback, cool altmode, I could care less if we see him again. Same with Razorpaw, Hammerstrike, or Malodor. I don't care for the characterization nor the design of these characters. So I have NO desire to see them again, even without my opinion, the chances of any of the voice actors returning to voice these guys are slim to none. I still think David Kaye should've been given a bigger role then Hammerstrike, what a waste of talent...

Take this the right way psj, but do you believe everything people on here say? What if I was to tell you that in season two, the story will take place on Cybertron with Team Bee fighting against a Decepticon uprising, caused by Steeljaw bringing Megatron back to the Decepticon cause, with Optimus being teamed up with Ultra Magnus in order to defeat the returning Decepticon leader. Also Team Prime returns for the finale.

Season 2 on Cyhbertron? Who really gave you this information to believe that this is true? Hasbro hasn't even said a single word about it yet. You'll have to wait for Botcon 2015 for that to happen. Sorry to disappoint you.

Look, Madeus Prime, there's no need for you to freak out on me for anything. You're right. Even if you say that season two will take place on Cybertron and not on earth, that won't happen, because Hasbro has not said single word about it yet. But here's what we do already know so far:

1. Steeljaw is responsible for encouraging his own citizens to rebel against the government.

2. Steeljsw did say that he will not go anywhere until he has all of his friends released.

3. Megatron will indeed return for this series. However, it is currently unknown which side will he be on.

4. Optimus will return once his training is complete.


Furthermore, when I'm talking to someone else about anything, such as D-Maximus_Prime, don't even interrupt me by saying what you want to say. Just listen to what D-Maximus-Prime and all others have to say and then decide for yourself.

Not that sort, one part Torani syrup, one part club soda, one part half-and-half. Crème de Coco, if you were wondering.

It's cooler! What I find funny though is my "winter" temperature here is about the same as shajaki's "summer" temperature in Canada.

Anyway ... I don't know how to feel about this whole season of RiD. I've said numerous times the 'Con of the Week was an annoying prospect. So much so you could pretty much watch the first couple of episodes, skip a good chunk then come back in for the last 3-4 episodes and you really wouldn't have missed much.

Episode 25

Sideswipe and Strongarm are training, when the happen upon Underbite and Thunderhoof.

Hey neat! More training with Optimus in the Realm of the Primes.

He's training some more with Micronus.

Something is starting, and Optimus is not ready.

Underbite chases Strongarm while Airazor and Divebomb ready to trap her.

Strongarm and Sideswipe are captured.

Bee's planning a rescue, and Windblade's arrived.

Bumblebee: "Drift, Grim, let's roll the rescue! ...Wait, no, somebody's already using that battle cry. Nevermind, let's move out." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The "first Decepticon" has had Steeljaw's Pack gathering building materials for something.

Fracture's got an Earth mode by now. He's going to the scrapyard to capture Fixit.

No one other than Steeljaw can see or hear Megatronus.

Micronus is taking Optimus to see the Primes.

There are five Primes. The rightmost one has to be Quintus Prime. The leftmost could be Alpha Trion, and the middle one might be Vector Prime. The others aren't quite as discernible.

For Optimus to face this challenge, the Primes must share with him a portion of each of their sparks, an awesome amount of power. If he is not properly prepared, he will not survive.

Optimus is upgraded to having the color scheme of his Mega toy.

Underbite takes out Windblade and the Pack captures her.

Hank's come to see Russell. She brought him a Bronco Kowalski rookie card.

Airazor uses hologram tech to pose as Hank and trick Russell into deactivating the security system and opening the gate.

Optimus has come to save the day.

The arch Steeljaw's Pack is building is at the base of the Crown City Colossus.

The arch is activated. Something's coming through a portal.

Optimus drives off a bridge and flies across the WaAAAIT, if he can fly, why did he bother driving?

Optimus fails to stop the guy coming through the portal. Megatronus has arrived.


Troy Baker -- Vector Prime


I'm a little indifferent towards this one. On the one hand, it was a passable episode with not really much of anything wrong with it. But on the other hand, there wasn't much wrong with it mainly because there wasn't much that really happened in this one. Some bots get captured, other Bots plan a rescue, the Cons plot, Optimus comes back, the arch is prepared and lit, Bots and Cons struggle, and then Megatronus comes. It just kinda felt really bare bones in this one with not that much to it. Sure, it's only part 1 of the bigger story, so hopefully part 2 will make it worth it. But on its own, it is a par for the course episode with little worthwhile to it. I mean, sure we got Megatronus's arrival, but it just didn't have that sense of awe that it needed to really be epic. His arrival just kinda feels... hollow. Hopefully the next one will make him more impressive.

There are 26 episodes in season 1, and the ones you saw were episode 12 and 13 respectively.

That said, I'm gonna finish off the last episode of season 1 right now.

Episode 26

Episode recap has Bumblebee say "Previously on Robots in Disguise..." Like the only episode recap Rescue Bots had, the "Transformers part of the title is excluded.

Drift doesn't know who Megatronus is, and wonders if he's also known by the name "Megatron".

The Alchemor's manifest actually has an entry on Megatronus. It says that Megatron named himself after Megatronus, who was one of the original Primes, but he turned on his brethren, destroying Solus Prime.

Both Earth and Cybertron played a role in Megatronus's exile.

Megatronus's hand can convert to a drill weapon.

Denny and Russell pretend to be filmmakers who claim that some of their animatronic props have gone haywire, to explain the presence of the Bots over at the statue.

Megatronus has been granted additional power from a source far greater than the Primes.

Megatronus turns into a giant monster of a tank.

Megatronus's plan is to use his staff to extract the last remains of Unicron's Anti-Spark from the Earth 's core, then to summon the AllSpark from Cybertron, and bring the two together, blowing both planets to dust.

A super burst of power occurred when Sideswipe and Strongarm brought their Decepticon Hunters together in close contact.

Optimus identifies Megatronus's staff as a Spark Fuser.

Strongarm, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee bring their Decepticon Hunters together and inagine theirs to become like Optimus's.

THEY UPGRADE INTO ARMORED SUPER MODES!!!!!

The AllSpark has come.

But it gets sent back when Optimus damages the Spark Fuser enough to shut it off and sent the Anti-Spark back into the core.

The three upgraded Autobots utterly annihilate Megatronus.

Bumblebee's decisive battle cry: "You heard him, team. Let's rev up and roll out!" The others approve.

All of Steeljaw's Pack, barring the wolf himself, are recaptured.

Since Steeljaw and other Cons are still on Earth, Bumblebee decides to stay on Earth. As do the other Autobots. And Optimus will only stay if he is not as Bumblebee's leader, but as his equal.


Eric Bauza -- Officer


Well, this is the end of the season and it was... fair. Honestly, I knew Optimus would come back, but I didn't really want him back. It kinda felt like he took away from the Bee Team focus-wise, and that he was needed makes our heroes look incapable of handling big situations without Optimus. And then we find out that they didn't really need Optimus since it was the regular Decepticon Hunters wielded by the Bee Team were what won the day instead, it begs the question of why they even really needed Optimus in the first place. Likewise, Megatronus was kinda boring as a villain, based mostly on how little we know of his motivation and reasons for trying to do what he did. It's a several case of "Show, don't tell," in which we were just told of Megatronus's evil, but it wasn't shown and being that much different from the evils of other main bad guy Transformers. He really needed more of a presence in this season as a whole.


But on the upside, however, we got some good (if not great) bits with all the other characters, especially Steeljaw. He really seems like he truly believes in his plan of giving the Decepticons a planet to call their home (and rule said some, though). And just about all of the Autobots had their own little spotlights up enhance their character further. I especially liked the power up that the three Decepticon Hunters made, those were cool. It was only the Primes themselves that were more on the dull side of things. But with Optimus returning not as a leader, but instead as Bumblebee's equal, could open up to some possibly interesting storytelling (though I would have preferred either he return to be a subordinate of Bumblebee, or not at all).

As for the season overall, it wasn't half bad. Several episodes that were either good, fun, or both, whereas the finale could have benefitted from some better forshadowing to it. Sure, we got some bits and pieces, but they were far too few and infrequent. Megatronus barely had a presence in this show, and could have worked better if he had made some more appearances beforehand. Granted, it was built up way more properly than Prime's season 1 finale, and I did reallt enjoy this season, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

Still no signs for new Decepticons at Botcon? Not even the brand-new Autobot Windblade and even the Decepticon boss Megatronus himself!? What on earth is happening here? Will we ever see these characters for sure at SDCC 2015 this time? Don't say that they won't. Because this season might be over. but the show is still ongoing. :CON: :BOT:

For once you actually have a point. Botcon's big reveals for RID this year literally revealed maybe 10% of stuff we didn't already know about. And that 10% was crap.

There are 26 episodes in season 1, and the ones you saw were episode 12 and 13 respectively.

That said, I'm gonna finish off the last episode of season 1 right now.


CN is usually slow with getting episodes up on demand

Madeus Prime wrote:What we saw of his supposed "real" robot mode is likely just a default form that Pseudo assumes whenever he's not shifted into another form,
How is that different from it being his true form?

Madeus Prime wrote:and this form likely is another stolen form of some other Cybertronian.
Based on what evidence?

Madeus Prime wrote:See above. He doesn't have a true robot mode or vehicle mode.
See above. Source? :P



D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Their "True form" is basically a hunk of part solid, part liquid metal. They really do not have an "original form" that has a single alt mode.
Source?

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:You cannot really find any parts of an alt form. :BOT:
Ah, so you must have seen a clear enough image of Makeshift to make out the finer details of his appearance to make this assertion, yes?

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Yes, but they do not have the resemblance to an alt mode. They have no secondary parts.
Nor do many other TFs, like AOE Optimus Prime's CGI model for instance. Or G1 Alpha Trion's animation model.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:He is a shifter, and all he looks like is a jumble of metal. This is his "true form" but it is just a jumble that organizes itself when it takes on a new form. :BOT:
One guy doesn't speak for the whole group. We see that Pseudo's true form is smooth, clean, and insectoid, not a mess of parts.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Edit: And I am not saying they have no "original form", I'm just saying their original form is a hunk of metal that has almost no identifiable parts
You know who else are Shifters? The Mutacons. Yet, they aren't jumbling masses of metal.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:they don't have an alt mode of their own.
Source?

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:they are a lot like Sixshot: They have many modes.
Calling their shifted forms "modes" implies transformation. Shifting and Transforming aren't the same ability.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:shifters have no visible components in their base form, they just have lots of visible parts, but none that are recognizable.
So they no visible parts except for the parts that are visible. Got it.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:they just don't have the visible appearance of having a dedicated "base" mode to go to. :BOT:
Source?


tl:dr - There is no existing fiction out there that declares all Shifters to universally have no standard base form with each individual's own personal robot mode and altmode unique to that person. Nor is there any fiction that states that every Shifter's base form lacks the capacity for a robot mode and altmode unique to each Shifter. All we've ever been told is that all Shifters possess a special shapeshifting ability that differs from basic transformation, but not that all of them have said ability in place of basic transformation.

You see, guys? What did I tell you? No matter or not if the characters are Shifters. Every character must have a specific robot and vehicle or beast mode in order for them to be called Transformers. Or else they wouldn't be Transformers at all. Sabrblade, you first said that Pseudo's robot mode is that of an insect, from the show in which it appears to be a ladybug larvae. But does that make him an Insecticon? In Transformers: Prime, Makeshift, another Shifters has a humanoid robot mode. However, unlike Makeshift's robot mode that was completely blacked out, Pseudo's entire body was completely shown for the first time ever.

Seceondly, you also said according to the official summary that you've posted earlier on episode 26, you also said that since that Steeljaw and Kickback are still at large, Bumblebee chose to remain on Earth. This means that the captured Decepticons, Pseudo, Steejaw's men, and many others are expected to return in the second season once Steeljaw releases them all. This means we might even see the return of Pseudo himself. At that point, we might possibly even get a glimpse of what Pseudo's official vehicle mode would be like. Now, if Pseudo has a official vehicle mode, what would it most likely be, judging by his insectoid robot mode. :CON:
