Sabrblade, is this means that Steeljaw is the head of the Decepticons? If Megatron isn't his boss, then who is?

If you watched the show as you claim to have, then you would already know the answer to this question.

My head hurts.

Moving on: season 1 just ended, so lets get a break and maybe some new toy news before we think about season 2. That'll be like 8-10 months from now anyway.

We all know that season 2 will be aired in the beginning of next year. For a long time now, I have been thinking very hard at what type of vehicle mode would Pseudo have. So far, this is exactly what he looks like in robot mode:

By studying really hard on his robot mode, what's I find it very interesting is that the word pseudo is probably derived from a very similar word, moto. Because Decepticons in this series do possess animal-based robot modes and vehicle modes, I just came to the realization that based on the origin of that name, it looks this might be translation of Pseudo official altmode, which might look like this, based on his namesake (pseudo from moto):

Is this how his altmode supposed to look if he were to appear in season 2?

In case you didn't know, a fanart site called deviantart.net actually showed a picture of what Makeshift was supposed to look like if Hasbro didn't blacken his body, and he looked like this:
http://pre04.deviantart.net/bf22/th/pre ... 6v5whp.jpg

Judging by the looks of him, he seems to have a bodybuild quite similar to Megatron. Therefore, if he were to have his own alt-mode, then it would be a Cybertronian jet, although he would have looked slightly different from Megatron.

Would you agree on that? Comments?

I really hope Season 2 expands the personalities of the Decepticons more. Perhaps sneak in some character development as well.

As for Megatronus, I'm not sure about him being the new Decepticon leader. I rather have Steeljaw become the leader. He brings true fear to his fellow Decepticon troops, and he's quite a fighter and a skillful individual in improvising.

Megatronus used the cons for his own ambitions. he's gone and now Steeljaw is ready to resume command (which he never really lost, he and his team just got owned).

I watched the ghost town episode. I liked it, it was funny with a great lesson about trying new things.

Sadly, that's the last really fun episode of the season.

That's usually what happens when the follow-up is a season finale.

Unless your episode's title is "Equestria Games."

Last time, you've once told me that the bat mode that Nightstrike appeared in the cartoon is mostly likely his robot mode, as opposed to Filch, who had a human mode and a crow mode. If that is true, is he mostly likely that he would turn into some sort of a plane? If he does, what type of plane would he most likely transform into?

No one knows what he turns into. His only visible altmode kibble are the wheels on his wings.

t
Sabrblade, basically what you're saying is that Nightstrike is built differently from Filch in which that Nightstrike has a bat-themed robot mode and a vehicle mode, and Filch only has a human mode and a crow mode. Is that correct?

It's a guess, not a fact.

[psj333]

Well, Sabrblade, from what I can tell at the moment, the two cylinder-shaped pads on Nightstrike's wings do appear to be wheels as you've stated earlier. Those similar pads can also be found on Filch, but those are definitely are not wheels as the one Nighty has. You're right that we don't know that he turns into. But because bats can fly, I believe that he will be more of a plane rather than a car, don't you think?

Filch's circles are her robot mode shoulders, though, whereas Nightstrike's circles are distinctly colored more to resemble tires wrapped around rims.

Though, the fact that Nightstrike can fly should not automatically indicate the kind of vehicle he turns into, as stranger altmode choices have happened in this show.

Sabrblade, look, perhaps these pictures might help. See this:

Judging by these images, does this appear that Nightstrike will have a vehicle mode in season 2?

As far as we already knew, Filch's human mode has yet to appear in season 2. Don't forget all of these Decepticons are still alive when they're caught. So it is very likely that almost all of them are set to re-appear.

Surprising no one, but it's always good to have a confirmation, we have word via WorldScreen.com of a second season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise coming from Hasbro Studios. You can read the press snippet below, and stay tuned for some more dinopile punching time any time soon, as NYCC is round the corner!

CANNES: The second season of Transformers Robots in Disguise is on offer from Hasbro Studios.

“We have lightened the tone of the show and have introduced more humor and added new and exciting Autobot characters,” says Finn Arnesen, the company’s senior VP of global distribution and development. Hasbro is also presenting Blazing Team, a new animated action-adventure series that sees a group of heroic teens fight evil with the mystical power of Yo Kwon Do.

Then there is My Little Pony Equestria Girls Friendship Games, a full-length movie. “In this new feature, competition is fierce as The Friendship Games bring Canterlot High and its rival, Crystal Prep, together in a series of school-spirit, academic and sporting events to determine which school is number one,” says Arnesen.

“We are wholly focused on engaging with both traditional linear-TV partners as well as our SVOD, digital and ancillary partners,” adds Arnesen.

"Lightened the tone of the show?" The show was light as **** from the start. How much "lighter" can you get? There was literally no stake in the first season, did they seriously go out of their way to find a bar lower than that? The only reason I ever even watched the first season was simply because it's Transformers. It already doesn't hold my attention aside from when Optimus is onscreen. I seriously doubt I'm going to keep up with Season 2 if it's lighter than the first.

This is a stock quote taken from a previous statement in regards to the whole in comparison to TF: Prime. It has been taken out of context in this article to make it sound like it's referring specifically to season 2 when it isn't. It's comparing the whole show to Prime, so ease off, guys.

That's pretty much how I took it. A generic quote from execs that really don't know how to sell their product. It only makes sense. RiD couldn't get any "lighter", or else it would be Rescue Bots, (and that is not a Slam on Rescue Bots, just saying its designed for a much younger audience) or *shudders* Teen Titan Go!

I'll go on record as saying however, the day TF gets a show like TTG, is the day I retire as a Transformers Fan.

It kinda has something similar to it in the Q-Transformers cartoon, but rather than being a chibi slapstick cartoon, it's a chibi talk show cartoon (but is smarter in its humor since it's self-aware and discusses the brand itself).

So I was going through the Alchemor's prisoner manifest on TFwiki earlier today, and I was wondering if anyone else has asked themselves this question at some point during season one; "Where did Megatron /find/ these weirdos?" I mean you've got a few competent cons (Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, etc), but then you get nutters like Springload, morons like Quillfire, cowards like Clampdown, egomaniacs like Underbite, and creeps like Vertebreak. Really makes you wonder what kind of Energon Buckethead was on when he let these guys in.

Given this show's rather (intentionally?) vague time-period, we do not know if these are Decepticons who were all around during the war when Megatron started it, or if they are new Decepticons born from the Well after it was revitalized by Optimus's sacrifice.

If it's the latter, these would be post-war Decepticons not recruited by Megatron but instead having somehow become Cons at a point in time after Megatron had declared the faction disbanded. We do not know how the faction resurfaced or even if it ever went away despite Megatron's intentions (he could have declared it only to those who were in the movie while all other Decepticons would be unaware of this and continue being Decepticons regardless).

Some folks have even theorized that the meaning of being a Decepticon in this show might now just be synonymous with being a criminal, and that the symbols could be branded on those criminals upon their capture (after all, their symbols are used by the Autobots as a means to track their energy signatures, hence why Steeljaw scratches off those of himself and his Pack to make themselves undetectable).

Until we get any kind of answer, we can only speculate.

In "Even Robots Have Nightmares," Nightstrike gave the Autobots different kinds of nightmares. We all know that dreams are created. They're not true. But there is a chance some of them will be. For example, Strongarm had a nightmare, where she was arrested by Cybertronian authorities for being a corrupted cop and a traitor to the Cybtertronian Law Enforcement Department. Is it very likely that Pseudo at the time secretly scan and took over her form in order to frame her for the crimes that she never committed while she was still on Cybertron?

Yes, clearly this is feasible given all of the clearly solid and near-impeccable evidence that points to your suggestion. We can also deduce from this speculation that Fixit is also secretly Sideswipe's father.
