You do realize when they do end it they're just going to replace it with something similar, right? Hasbro's current model is to have three different lines going simultaneously with distinct, albeit overlapping, demographics. And then there's the movies in between that replaces all of the simplified cartoon toys with simplified movie toys. These things are never going away and will always be on the shelves as part of one line or another.

The only confirmation in that news they cited is that "Season 2 will be 16 episodes long with a movie to finish it." There is nothing in the news they link to that says "Season 2 is the final season and will end the RID cartoon for good."Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There was no confirmation.

Looks like confirmation to me.
At the very least RID is ending with a movie.
He has to be working on a new season since all of the storyboarding for season 2 and its movie would be long since done by now.just starting up and it's looking to be a realllllllly fun season!

Comparing this "shorter season plus a movie" format to Prime season 3 an Predacons Rising is poor form since Prime season 3 was already done and over with by the time Predacons Rising was even conceived. Preds Rising was not in any of the plans for season 3. It came along after the fact. This new movie, however, is slated to be the conclusion of RID season 2 before that season has even begun airing, meaning that this movie was planned much farther ahead of schedule when compared to how Preds Rising was created as an afterthought.
And I repeat, there has been NO official word of RID ending with season 2. All we know for sure is that season 2 is shorter and has a movie coming at the end of the season. Know what other Hasbro Studios cartoon did that and is still ongoing? My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Its usual season length is 26 episodes, but its third season was only 13 episodes and had the first Equestria Girls movie come after it before the 26-episode fourth season, which in turn was followed by the second Equastria Girls movie, and then the 26-episode fifth season (with the third Equestria Girls movie coming during season 5 instead of after). Therefore, a movie coming after a show's season does not automatically mean that the whole show is ending for good.
Besides, Wormer very clearly Tweeted the following in a comment below his original Tweet:He has to be working on a new season since all of the storyboarding for season 2 and its movie would be long since done by now.just starting up and it's looking to be a realllllllly fun season!

What do you mean by sales? Are you referring to the toys?

Yeah toys and merchandise in general I'm in no way saying that there are bad sales but I see a lot more rid on shelves then I ever saw Prime on shelves.
I'm just saying that sales are not possibly as good as Prime or a movie year.

o.supreme wrote:Yes definitely excited. especially since after 2 single disc DVD releases, I thought they might just keep cranking these out ala Rescue Bots with no season sets. The only thing that prevents me from pre-ordering is waiting to see if they have a Blu Ray release planned. If no news is released in the coming weeks, then I'll definitely settle for the DVD set.

Note sure... Not many TV shows prior to the HD era are being released on Blu Ray (The various Star Trek series are some that come to mind), but they usually require some extensive digital reworking and preservation. Although what Mainframe was producing in the mid-90's to early 2000's was ground breaking, I'm not sure how well it would look in HD (would it look better, or only highlight the flaws in the early CG that we may not notice now??)
I also guess it depends on the quality of the master prints that S!F has. I know they have released Beast Wars a couple of times on DVD. I still have the original Rhino releases, so I don't cant say if the S!F ones are any better, or pretty much the same, just repackaged.

Their G1 and Beast Wars DVD set artworks looked pretty good, with the G1 sets having all new art while the Beast Wars art was creatively arranged Mainframe art. And their Beast Machines DVD art looked stunningly gorgeous.JoeMabbon wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Wow, that it some generically-boring-looking DVD artwork.

Shout Factory doesn't really put alot of energy into packaging design.
