What was really cool, design-wise, in this crossover is that Bounce (the Cyclone Mini-Con who appeared in the episode) was not only the same body-type as Ransack and Backtrack, but had a character model that literally looked like it was lifted straight out of the RID cartoon's art style. If he were to ever appear on RID, he'd virtually look exactly the same as he did on Rescue Bots, much like how Soundwave looked practically identical to his Prime cartoon design when he showed up in RID! Multi-show design synergy!PrymeStriker wrote:I'm actually interested in the RiD crossovers on Rescue Bots. Not that I'm really keeping up on that show, but I quite enjoy seeing Rescue Bot takes on RiD designs.

Twould be a "mid-season climax event", then. Or the end of the season's first story arc.PrymeStriker wrote:Meanwhile, checked out "History Lessons". It was pretty good, but I think I'm a little more open to this being season two rather than season three, because this episode didn't particularly feel like a premiere. Alas, that makes "Decepticon Island" a little odd.

Pretty sure he was talking about some offscreen event that we never saw in Prime, possibly set before the show's beginning in the time when there were Decepticons on Earth three years prior. And maybe they were Decepticons who weren't part of the Nemesis crew and never got to report back their finding of the Autobots' base to Megatron (if they were Vehicons, the Autobots might've even killed them).Kurona wrote:Also the base was attacked by Decepticons and Bumblebee went to hide? What? Wasn't the whole point in TFP that the base was hidden and that when it was found at the end of Season 2 it was a massive game-changer because the Decepticons immediately blew the hell out of it?
You are correct. They weren't in Prime. They're likely from more offscreen events, like the above incident and the time Bee and Bulkhead arm-wrestled.Kurona wrote:And I certainly don't recognise those defence systems from TFP...

Or, it could be the episode where she acquires Sawtooth as her partner Mini-Con.psj333 wrote:In the next episode called, "Strongarm's Biggest Score", looks like her biggest score is Scatterspike, judging by the footage shown at this year's Comic Con. In the footage, you can see Scatterspike completely beat Strongarm senselessly, before took off. Is it true, that Scatterspike is being described as Strongarm's rival of sorts, hence the title?

btw it's HILARY not Helens, but i s'pose Helens would've been it's real world equivalent anywhoo....i got goosebumps when that volcano name was mentioned, although ended up a little disappointed when there was no huge hole there where the Ark once sat

All three of the Mini-Cons we've seen so far hanging out with those Decepticons are ones whose toys come with Autobot toys. But as Aerobolt says, they're currently in a situation in which they don't trust anyone, and have to rely on these Decepticons for the time being since someone is apparently after them. Yet, we saw how Buzzstrike behaved in the last episode and how Sawtooth behaved in this episode, in which both of them didn't want to hurt anyone and aren't inherently evil. It's evident that these Mini-Cons are eventually going to learn to trust the Autobots and join up with them later on.Stuartmaximus wrote:btw isn't Aerobolt supposed to be a good guy? i know he's supposed to be Power Surge Op Prime's minicon(well...at least where the Leader Class PSOP is concerned) so i dunno why he's hanging out with a bunch of enemy minicons(coz Clawtrap is a decepticon! you can see his insignia)
