It's gonna be kinda weird having no decepticons causing trouble in a TF cartoon series.

Probably. The Playskool Go-Bots cartoon only had Go-Bots (the antagonists were also Go-Bots, but were merely rascals who were inadvertently causing trouble).

The Return of Convoy toyline only had Cybertrons (Autobots), but there was no cartoon. If there had been, there definitely would have been Destrons (Decepticons) in it due to the fiction featuring them.

I've never heard of any playskool gobots cartoon series that aired on TV in America. Please,this is the 2nd time you said this thing existed. please post a few links with proof.

I was going to respond before, but IAmThePeej beat me to it. Plus, I was on vacation over the weekend with limited Internet access, which is why I wasn't on at all yesterday or today until now.

Anyway, the Go-Bots cartoon was only four episodes long with two episodes being released on a VHS packed with a special Speed-Bot figure, while the other two aired on TV only in limited markets.

Here's the opening from it.

I can only imagine it would have had more zombie transformers in it. my guess is a few brave toys were meant to be late TF toys.

False Convoy, Dark Nova, Super Megatron, the Galaman army, the Novaroid army, Ultra Megatron, the Great Galaman army, the Great Novaroid army, and the Star Giant. Considering the small number of Cybertron/Autobot warriors in this toyline, I'd say that'sa fair number of Destrons/Deceptcions to even things out.

thanks for the link. I suspected some of these episodes might have been released with a toy.

Glad my bit of useless knowledge came in handy.

Lacey Chabert left Family Guy after some wonky contractual stuff and that was after doing all her work uncredited. She was on Wild Thornberry's for years without Mila Kunis replacing her. It's not like she went all Charlie Sheen.

He didn't mean for it to be taken so seriously. It was just a jab at Meg's voice being changed over.

I don't get the joke either. But then again, I always thought Mila Kunis was always Meg... Guess its used to hearing her voice for a majority of the time. Also, I hope they don't replace Lacey Chabert, I've had the biggest crush on her since Lost in Space was in theaters.

Anyway, I like kids' shows like Yo Gabba Gabba (fan of The Aquabats! what can I say?), Super Hero Squad, and almost everything from Nick back when the channel had good stuff to watch, like Eureeka's Castle, so this show may be right up my alley.

I'd suggest giving the Go-Bots cartoon a watch as a test to see what kind of stuff Rescue Bots might deal with and be like.

the Lacey Chabert "joke" is.....she was replaced on a show early its incarnation. this is a new show featuring her since that happened so it was just a lame joke of will she be replaced again.

didn't think it was so hard to understand but there ya go. lol

I have all 4 episodes, and I kind of enjoy them. They start to be painful if watched back to back, but once a week, I can handle it, so if that is any indication of the story structure, it will be bearable, and just fun. I hope the quality is higher than a straight-to-video release when it comes to story and animation though. I'm not expecting Transformers Prime quality animation or story, but at least on par with, say, the original Gobots show.

It wasn't really hard to understand, its just.. Not funny, I guess is the best way to put it. But still, so far she's what's drawing me to the show, so even if it is insufferable, I'll watch it, and buy the DVDs just because it has Lacey attached to it.
