A group of young Bots fresh from Cybertron (Hot Shot, Whirl, Medix, Hoist and Wedge), have the honor of being the first-ever class to enroll in Earth’s Rescue Bot Training Academy and learn how to become Earth heroes through hands-on experience.

Got hit hmwith a baseball bat before ot was rendered in Flash Cell whatever... Its eh.
Not fond that that changed Heatwave's head to a grizzled old drill seargent, but oh well.
Kinda sad Medix didnt keep her ambulance alt mode given that Hoist is a straight up copy of his. Not thT it matters since I am not buying these, but.
Can I just say though I am ecstatic at the RID Revival? We are getting Shadow Striker in Cyberverse, now Wedge is an orange bobcat in Rescue Bots. Can I get a new Side Burn somewhere please?
Yeah, none of the voice cast from the previous series were carried over into this one, as it's being recorded in New York (first TF cartoon to ever be recorded there, even) instead of Los Angeles.Galactic Prime wrote:That doesn't sound like Peter Cullen
It's more based on the new evergreen design that's being widely used now, in IDW, in Aesthetics, in Cyberverse, etc.Flashwave wrote:So.... Yeah. That looks like the Beast Hunter Optimus Prime design...
Isn't Medix male?Flashwave wrote:Kinda sad Medix didnt keep her ambulance alt mode
While Shadow Striker was retooled from a RiD mold, she was a G1 character (a friend of Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe, no less), released in the first Universe line as an OTFCC 2003 exclusive.Flashwave wrote:Can I just say though I am ecstatic at the RID Revival?

Boulder went from producing three projects at most to six IPs including season two of Danger Mouse and Hasbro’s Micronauts, The Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Rescue Bots Academy, all in Toon Boom Harmony. The studio is also storyboarding the latest Transformers series and its first CG animated feature film in Storyboard Pro.
With so many new productions, Boulder suddenly needed storyboard artists, concept designers and animators. The challenge became to scale up and find top talent without losing its quality and personality.
“We’ve always been quite selective about who we hire and it’s not just the talent I’m looking at; I want to know if they’re nice people and if they will fit in,” says Cullen.
Its team now includes people from around Ireland and the world, though growing from 160 to 360 seats in just over a year comes with certain concerns as well. Namely, keeping the boutique studio corporate culture it had established.
“Each project has a team with their own director and production manager — every piece feels like it’s a boutique production that people can take pride in,” says Cullen. “It doesn’t feel like we’re this vast company making random shows and we have to make sure it stays that way.”

Equaling its predecessor; Transformers: Rescue Bots, Academy will also feature 104 episodes but at 11-minute runtime each (as opposed to the original’s 22-minute format).” Writers on a new (11min x 104) action adventure animated series for the International market. This series is the latest addition to the hugely successful Transformers universe. “

But I feel ya, Jon. After years and years of LA and Vancouver being the places for actors to record Transformers shows, for them to suddenly switch it all up and over to New York (a talent pool that's never done Transformers before) for both RBA and Cyberverse is disheartening indeed.
