The Team Bee combiner doesn't look half bad. I'll need a better look at Menasor before forming an opinion on him, though.

[Megazarak]

Some potentially mixed news for these combiners. I got sent a pic from a TRU (Canadian) buddy that shows their listing in the system. There's a listing for a Combiner Team that's only $50. For reference, Crash Combiners are listed as $20. This seems likely to indicate the team will comprise of simplified Transformers. I'm sure a simple version was inevitable, and I guess this doesn't erase the possibility of Warrior class combiners or anything. That said he told me he tried all sorts of other searches and couldn't find anything else that we don't know of (say a Grimlock of a larger size to become proper pants). Though, I suppose at the end of the day, even if the individual bots are simplified, it isn't like we don't have other versions of them available, so if the combined mode is at least somewhat properly articulated then I'd probably be fine with it.

Haven't heard a thing about the new season since that. Dunno where it is

Seibertronian Scottyp has let us know that Amazon.com has uploaded a new listing for a Robots in Disguise DVD. The new DVD, titled 'Overloaded and Decepticon Island,' is up for pre-order and will be available May 30 of this year. The DVD's run time is 88 minutes, which means that the 2 part 'Overloaded' and the 2 part 'Decepticon Island' will be the only 4 episodes available. Check out the listing by following the above link, and check out the cover below!

Well, that's a strange pair of two-parters. The Season 2 premiere and the Season 2 finale, bookends without the books that connect the two.

Really wish they'd just dump the full seasons out on Blu-Ray instead of doing things like this first. Oh well. It'll be like my Energon DVD collection one of these days where I've got half the series on singles and a box set of the full thing to fill in the gaps

Why not just wait till they release the whole thing?

Why not just wait till they release the whole thing?

Exactly. S!F pattern of releasing single/impulse purchase DVD's first is frustrating to be sure, but waiting until they release the whole season is always a pretty safe bet (unless its Rescue Bots...). Even then, why are you hanging on to single-disc releases of Energon? why not sell them if you have the box set?

I mean the last series I bought single DVD's of was Spectacular Spider-Man because in 2009-2010 there was no sign of full season sets, until 2014 when the whole 26 episodes were released on BRD and DVD. Then I purchased that set and dumped the singles. Since then I've just learned to wait (as with RiD15) or just live without (as in the case of Rescue Bots, and pretty much all of Disney/Marvels animated series since they are not available in any physical media form)

Combienr Force Bruticus Revealed!

Combienr Force Bruticus Revealed!

Looks awesome, but because this is in the animated series thread, has it been confirmed he will appear in the series, and not just as a toy?

[bluecatcinema]

Interesting. He looks like a classic five-piece Combiner, compared to Ultra Bee's four.

I put it here because he is more likely to appear in the animated series than as a toy. All toys so far have appeared in the animated series but only half or less of characters made it to toys. And Bruticus was not part of the latst app update for toys.

[WreckerJack]

If you have not gotten around to watching season 2 it is now available on Netflix.com for your viewing pleasure. There is also a 6 part mini series under the season 3 category. The highlight of this season is the return of some fan favorite characters from Transformers: Prime. But don't worry, we won't spoil a thing. Enjoy!

If RiD does not suit your fancy, we suggest checking out an upcoming documentary on some nostalgic 80's toys!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Linking this news story cause it covers some important stuff for us here: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... air/37399/

So, the new title sequence has Dragbreak, or whatever that guys name is, and the combiner force logo. So, we are getting season 3 people, and we are certainly getting combiners!

The Menasor and Ultrabee round shots look cool, and if you look, Drift actually forms the sword for Ultra bee!

[Ravage XK]

Still only the first 13 episodes of season 1 on UK Netflix.

[Nexus Knight]

FINALLY!!! Know what I'm doing- binge watching RiD w/ my brothers.

[Nexus Knight]

After binging season two, want to point something out about the "first" season finale (Decepticon Island). Also, obviously, spoilers to continue. In the first part, the team find the Fix-It type Minicons being held. Optimus wants to stop the mission to cyro-bomb the Alchemor to rescue them and this pause in the mission causes them to be caught be Steeljaw and the Decepticon army, ending the first part. Let me note that Bumblebee was against stopping to save them, likely because if the mission succeeded, they could save the caretaker Minicons. When the next part begins and they barely get away (w/o Windblade), Optimus Prime berates Bubblebee because "completing the mission needed to be the priority". Hypocrisy much, OP?

I think Optimus is losing it a bit in this show. Those first few episodes show you how off he is in his reasoning. I dont know why they made him so hard to root for in this show.

[WreckerJack]

I'll probably watch some of the eps I missed on TV and the eps with my favs from Prime. I could use some cheer, it's been a long day. I think RiD is good for that. Despite it's flaws it is a cheery show.
