Yuck, these look just like TF Animated and i hated that show and the figures. Easy pass for me.

It's the stare you get when you're stepping into your bed, ready to sleep. Then you notice a shadow outside of your window and you open the curtains... And there's your buddy Jazz. Watching you sleep.

The shivers, I has them. I'm sure there is a ceiling cat joke in here somewhere, but I will refrain.

Other than that I've enjoyed the show the few time I was able to wake up that early. It's a fun Saturday morning eating sugary cearel good time. I'm waiting/looking for online options to catch the rest of it.

I do.

Plenty of people clearly do, or else Prime wouldn't have made it past season one.

Nice use of the word "nobody."

Seriously Ratchet, Wheeljack and Smokescreen were the only good Autobots in the show (Cliff maybe could of been great if he died in Darkness rising part 5 instead of part 1 in a wasting manner)

I have a feeling a lot of Cliffjumper critics have no idea what the difference between a major and minor character is. Some, characters, in films, books, cartoons, and comics, are, introduced, to, die. This happens everywhere and all the time. It wouldn't make a difference if this was Cliffjumper (who was just such a huge character in the franchise prior) or Jackshotimus Mega Ultracron Primawheels. He was written to die from the getgo. We, the audience, were never supposed to connect to Cliffjumper. We were meant to use his death a means of understanding Arcee's personality and internal dilemmas.

1: I prefer dealing with Bad guys with names that get captured then nameless Vehcions that get slaughtered like ants and make the Autobots look more violent then the Decepticons.

So, you complain that Cliffjumper was wasted, but you have no problem with one-dimensional bad guys showing up for an episode then never appearing again. Must've thought Bisk was a marvel of character engineering. Antagonists are characters too. If they're going to be one-off bullshit memes that have no definable personality beyond "ROAR I'M EVIL," what the hell is the point? They might as well be Vehicons because they're not adding anything more than them beyond new toy potential.

Plus unlike relics they aren't some magical device that's ignored for the rest of the show.

Yeah, because, you know, the Omega Lock played no prominent role in the finale. And that Star Saber? Please! Totally didn't kill anybody. The Forge of Solus Prime was pretty useless too, as they didn't put it to the proper use of upgrading any of the characters for future plot significance. Hey, what about the Apex Armor. Nobody used that. WTF. Yo, remember the Phase Shifter, that one thing from that one episode? Why the hell didn't they give that Smokescreen or something? He was perfect for it and could've used it countless times in the series.

Now, the Decepticon Hunters? These things are way better than all the Transformers relics put together.

2: The hell is that supposed to mean is it some kind of insult?

No, it's some kind of dry sarcasm.

3: Oh sure the villains had to be dealt with but many of them were just plain dumb especially since the only living cons are Megatron who has left the cons completely, Knockout who became an Autobot, Soundwave who is trapped in another dimension unlikely to come back, and Shockwave who the show tried to kill off only to put him in another scene before forgetting his existence.

Dumb.....

Megatron endures his own affliction for a day and changes his perspective, making for well thought out development.
Knock Out abides one of his defining character traits and joins the winning team.
Soundwave..........can easily get back once he figures out where he is and what he needs to do.
Shockwave witnesses the goddamn devil resurrect another Cybertronian, who resurrects an extinct species, and gets all of his scientific viewpoints shoved up his ass. Do I need to explain the real world parallels here? There's a point to his final scene.

Yeah, these endings weren't thought out at all. (Sorry, I've already used up today's reserve of decent sarcasm)

Regarding people's comments about this show being "kiddie" so far, it's no more kiddie than every single other TF cartoon ever made that wasn't Beast Machines and Prime. Beast Machines and Prime are, have been, and likely always will be the exception, not the norm, for TF cartoons.

If you feel TF cartoons should only ever be as serious as Prime was and should never again go back to the way things were before Prime came around, then maybe you guys might just be outgrowing family-friendly cartoons in general, which is perfectly natural and happens to a lot of people.

I though the thread was for the RiD 2015 toys, and this thread:

The Official Transformers Robots in Disguise Animated Series Thread

...was for the show itself. But that's just me...

Similar sentiments bleeds from thread to thread, it seems.

Not just you.

When I see people complaining about Transformers toys or cartoons being "too kiddie", I imagine those people going to Chuck-E-Cheese and complaining that the menu is too kiddie, or going into the kiddie pool and complaining that it's too shallow.

It's been a while since we heard about Transformers: Robots in Disguise One-Step Thunderhoof's wave mates Drift and Fracture - but thanks to fellow Seibertronian cdavid3, we can confirm that HasbroToyShop.com is now listing all three as available for $9.99 each! Click on the images below to head to the respective listings.

Awww, you beat me to the punch. I just left TRU and was going to complain about all the kids there.

awesome! I'm ready for more one steps! love playing with these and my kids love them too!

Thunderhoof is getting a "Deluxe" (Warrior?) version, right? Every time I see this version, I think about how cool it would be if they made a Deluxe version out of the Generations Scoop mold.

It's just so crazy to me that he has a subtle Slicer vibe from his color and paint apps.

Huh, Jazz Actually looks better now, good photos can really change your mind! (However, his package art looks manic, like he's gonna take his lance and shove it in a very uncomfortable place)
Sideswipe On the other hand I like less than in his first pics.
If CW doesn't slaughter my wallet, I'll give these two a try!

we need a 3P company that just makes visors for dudes with missing visors.

Seriously if you don't like the show or the toys then don't watch the show or buy the toys.

I would be inclined to believe the "kiddie" would want the same toy his big brother got and not a dumbed down version. I know I would. Im so glad there were no "kiddie Transformers" back in the 80's. (except happy meal toys maybe)

There were no "non-kiddie Transformers" until 1995.

Actually I take that back...:




My First Transformers: Race Car, Dump Truck, Jet

First release: 1986

That race car is pretty dope.

All three of those are dippity dope!

X, what age range would you put on "kiddie"? Last time I checked 9 year olds were still "kids". In fact the legal age of adulthood is 18, so...

Or "Bumblebee."

FYI Amazon has the three One-Step changers in stock with Prime shipping. They also have the two Legion figures listed but those are being sold by third party sellers at a horrible mark up
