If I remember correctly Deathsaurus extra bonus didn't show up until after the window for backing closed and they blew way past the target. Too early to know for this one yet.

That's a little disingenuous. A stop gap series bridging the end of the (acclaimed) Beast Era and the beginning of UT.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Though Fox Kids apparently only ordered 36 episodes originally, having dropped the three clip shows from the original Car Robots episode count (but then 9/11 banned three of the non-clip episodes and led Saban to create three new ones to return the count back to 36; then the banned ones aired the following year in Canada and the UK).Emerje wrote:CR/RID was the first real vehicle based series we'd had since G2, it was a very big deal. Stopgaps don't get 39 episode runs (3 whole TV seasons/cours in Japan).

During Unicron they were only taking order on Pulse which was only available in North America. It wasn't until they realized it was going to fail that they started looking at options in other countries including Japan. Because everything was so thrown together they weren't really setup for real time updates so they just calculated everything all at once at the end (those added countries ended earlier than Pulse). Since then, they've been able to do things closer to real time, or at least more frequently. They did add around 5K at the end, I'm guessing that was Takara Tomy's orders since they probably aren't ordering directly off the pulse store like other venders did.

Emerje wrote:Incidentally does anyone remember the earliest rumors for Armada, way before anything was ever hinted at? They said there would be a massive space battle featuring "armadas" of different Transformers generations at war. G1, G2, Beast Wars and so on. Sounds cool, but that ended up basically being Universe 2003 which ran along the Unicron Trilogy. It's just funny how rumors get twisted like that. That kind of rumor was pretty rare back then.
