Theoretically possible, but since there was no sign of it onscreen it still feels like they got cheated of their vengeance and Starscream didn't get what he had coming. I want my catharsis, dammit.

And I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping to see how Knock Out is doing as an Autobot. Then again, if they threw out the whole "Starscream is loyal to Megatron now" thing from the last season or so of Prime, they'll probably ignore Knock Out changing sides, too. Megatron might have a better chance of keeping his character development, if only because his absence is part of the backstory and Cyclonus seems to be the next big bad (and therefore Megatron isn't).

Thanks to the Transformers Family, we bring to you news that the final 3 episodes of Robots in Disguise season 2 will be airing on December 16 as a Television Movie Event on Cartoon Network! The final 3 episodes, which star Starscream and the weaponizer minicons, are all being lumped together into this single movie event, which could very well be the TV movie that was anticipated to end Robots in Disguise, before Season 3 was announced. You can check out the video below advertising the movie, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Even though the first two parts have already on Cartoon Network three and two weeks ago, respectively, while the third and final part will be airing this Saturday (a Teen Titans Go! marathon pushed it back from airing last Saturday).

Teen Titans Go! -making kids dumber every day. But really, that is sad. You can tell CN doesn't give a hoot about Transformers, they should have stayed on HUB/Discovey since CN screwed them with TFA. who wakes up at 6am to watch it? Even back in my college days when Beast Wars was on, I had to program my VCR. How it got so popular I'll never know, I'm just glad we got what we did...maybe it was the airings in syndication on FOX M-F when BM came out.

Apparently, the 6am CN airings have garnered RID better ratings that it would have gotten on any timeslot for Discovery Family. So claims Hasbro Studios, at least. More people simply have access to CN than DF, so it's at least airing on a channel that more people watch.

I haven't had cable or satellite since 2010, but everyone else I know that does has equal access to both stations in most media outlets, of course I'm just speaking from my own experience. When TF: Prime aired regularly on Friday afternoons/evenings and on weekends with marathons I don't see how that could be viewed less than having to wake up at 6am for a show sporadically seen on CN. Of course like you said this is Hasbro, also the people that somehow thought Machimina's CW was received positively... :roll:

they have no flippin clue. But I guess as long as toy sales are strong, and TF5 makes a Billion at the box office they don't really have a reason to care, which is why all other forms of media (animation, games, and comics) are basically all just thrown about with little regard to anything.

Ok, important question (mainly for Sabr):

Have we heard anything about Ultra Magnus, Wheeljack, Arcee, Smokescreen, or Bulkhead returning in this series on screen? Don't ask why, but I just stumbled onto wikipedia and their Ultra Magnus page, and it claims that Magnus, with Micheal Ironside voicing again, is confirmed to return in season 3, but there is nothing so far to back u that claim that I could find. I then went to the other 4 pages and they all said the same thing. No citations, just that each was returning and so was their voice actor.

Has anyone else heard anything to back these up, or is this wikipedia (not the transformers one, just the wikipedia) making this up?

^There's been no confirmation as of current that any of these characters are returning. A Safe rule of thumb- if there is no reference on Wikipedia, then it isn't happening, someone will probably come along and correct it within a few hours. Still I'd love to see any of them return, and because we've seen Soundwave, Ratchet, & Starscream, anything is possible somewhere down the line.

Just deleted that info from the Ultra Magnus Wikipedia page. Good glory, that page is a disgusting mess. :SICK:

In both G1 and RID, Twinferno is a dragon. However, in a Transformers-related website named TFormers.com, he is listed as a Monsterbot in G1 and in a Dinobot in RID. In RID, is he really a Dinobot of sorts, like Grimlock, despite being listed as a dragon?

So, apparently season two of RiD is on Amazon Direct Video, buuuut... I forgot to see if they have the 2.5 season (using TFwiki's naming of it the last six episodes). It's not Amazon Prime, meaning you have to pay to watch it. In my opinion, wait a couple months for Netflix. Didn't take Rescue Bots too long to get updated, so it's worth it. Just thought I'd mention it in case someone couldn't wait.

Here's hoping that Amazon and Netflix list the Season 2.5 episodes as part of Season 2 and not as Season 3 like some places have mislabeled them. More word needs to get out that Season 3 is Combiner Force and not coming until 2017, as per its original announcement.

Considering that every time old character is returning, series suddenly become much better, I hope we wiull have a few returns in next season, without it, this series is just boring.

I honestly disagree. RiD is the perfect amount of silliness while being awesome at the same time.

For me, RiD has been... eh... I guess my feelings can be summed up as "It exists".

It's decent. It's alright. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but... I never find myself really interested in it and there's no moments that are particularly memorable or stick out to me. It's extremely average.

And returning characters doesn't help.

Seibertronians, time to set your DVRs! It's been announced that the third season of the Transformers Robots In Disguise cartoon will premier sometime in January of 2017! This info comes from a Press release made by Cartoon Network Germany, which also confirms the series, as well as the corrisponding Toyline, will be subtitled "Combiner Force".

There hasn't been a set premier date announced yet, but it will continue to air at the normal 6:40 AM slot on Saturdays and sundays!

You can check out the synopsis for this new season here!

PLEASE, please let this be the last season! I want a good show with good Deluxe, Voyager and Leader toys!

Why did they have to kill TFA?! It was so perfect...

Um... because... *checks TFwiki* Well, I think because of a bad timeslot, but TFwiki is being mean, so I'm uncertain.

And I honestly think RiD is lots of fun, almost to TF:A levels of such. Does it have the overarching storylines like TF:A had? Eeehhhhhh... not as well, but it still captures some of the heart of that series, IMO. But, as I keep telling my little brother about Rogue One, everyone's intitled to an opinion. ;)^
