New Transformers: Robots In Disguise Concept art featuring early "Matches Malone like" Denny

Noideaforaname wrote:Denny looks... different.

Is it wrong my first thought upon seeing that Strongarm was "Dark Samus"?

Wolfman Jake wrote:Billy-J, I think you mixed up who Denny and Russel/Rusty are. Might want to fix that in the news post. Makes it look like Rusty was originally conceptualized as a dirtbag mildle-aged man instead of a tween boy. I don't think his character changed THAT much during the evolution of the show.

Yeah, Denny's the dad, Russell's the son.

psj333 wrote:Sabrblade, I've just went to the TFormers.com site, and found a picture or a snapshot of a new Robots in Disguise comic book coming out soon. Inside the book, there is a brand new Decepticon named, Transit, who have a bus altmode. In the image shown, the bus stops in time to pick up its passengers. Un-noticed, this bus transform into a Decepticon. Despite having being a bus, Transit doe not appear to have a human form, but an animal form. By judging his looks, what animal does Transit closely resembled? Here is the image shown below:

psj333 wrote:. Unfortunately, contrary to what most people believed, Season 2 is still currently in production, and not cancelled as previously thought. This was confirmed on TFW2005.com by Hasbro just weeks ago, pointing out that Season 2 will indeed make its debut, likely not this year, but mostly likely in the beginning of next year.

psj333 wrote:So I'm pretty sure that there is a very good chance that we might see some of these comic characters make their presence felt in the cartoon once Season 2 hits.

psj333 wrote: Hasbro said on their website long ago that this cartoon is expected to have a total of 78 episodes. Therefore, how can it be that short if it contains 78 episodes?

Simply put - Things change. This is CN after all, the killer of many a great series. It would be absolutely awesome if 2015 RiD ran 78 episodes, but until then, we should remain cautious, and not put anything written anywhere online in stone. Remember Transformers: Animated season 4? Oh no you don't, because while it was planned, it never happened, thanks to the very same network that is airing RiD right now.

Sabrblade wrote:Even the worst CN ratings are better than the best Discovery Family ratings. More people watch CN since it's a channel that more people have when compared to Discovery Family. RID airing on CN makes it more accessible and more likely to succeed than if it were to air on the less mainstream Discovery Family.

psj333 wrote:There is no way this show is getting cancelled. Why? Because Steeljaw, the main bad guy for the show is still alive and at large.

psj333 wrote:So, if this is really the end of Robots In Disguise, then it will upset a lot of fans, due to the fact that Steeljaw was still alive and not being capture or even killed.

Madeus Prime wrote:If season two is canceled, I'm not going to lose sleep or awake time over it. If it isn't, I'm going to skip watching it. Because this has probably been the least "wow" Transformers show I've ever watched. Plus, Transformers fans are too jaded to be upset over a cancelation of a TV series like this one. I was genuinely pissed off when TFA was canceled. I won't be if this should be.

Sabrblade wrote:At this point, I'll be bummed if RID were to be canned, but not as much as I'd be if the much better TF cartoon that's going to get a fourth season on Discovery Family were to be canned.

Noideaforaname wrote:Having caught up on all the episodes, I feel very much the same way. RiD overall just feels like it didn't want to actually do anything. There are hints of greater things here and there, but at precisely the moment everything should come together... it's all tossed out for some "epic" plots taken from better series sans any of the necessary gravitas.

The new mission begins as BUMBLEBEE must step up to be leader in the years after we left the AUTOBOTS in TRANSFORMERS PRIME. Summoned by OPTIMUS PRIME to save Earth from a new DECEPTICON threat, BUMBLEBEE puts his light-hearted mettle to the test after assembling a rouge team of AUTOBOTS action heroes. BUMBLEBEE must balance his job fighting off evil with being equal parts squad leader and coach to a rascally team that needs constant coaxing to learn how to work together. The results are comical when the cool rebel SIDESWIPE, elite guard cadet STRONGARM, bombastic dinobot GRIMLOCK and overly-excited mini-con FIXIT must balance keeping the team together with chasing and capturing their new enemies in each adventure-filled episode.

TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE features the voice talent of Will Friedle (Boy Meets World), Darren Criss (Glee), Constance Zimmer (Entourage), Khary Payton (Teen Titans Go!), Mitchell Whitfield (TMNT) and Peter Cullen who voices OPTIMUS PRIME when he makes cameo appearances in this series.

Five action-packed TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE adventures include:

• Pilot, Part 1
• Pilot, Part 2
• Trust Exercises
• More Than Meets The Eye
• W.W.O.D.

A Look Behind-The-Scenes

Total Running Time: Approx. 110 minutes

The TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE series is currently airing on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on Teletoon in Canada.

Can't tell if you're messing or serious...

Well, I get we all want a fourth season of Animated, what I'm asking is where is your assumption founded?? Why do you think we're getting a continuation of what is, IMHO, the best TF show since Beast Wars? Because, as far as I know, we've not heard anything to found these rumors.

Bumblebee being a leader just not and never will be right.OPtimus looks like a clown in this series i mean you sacrificed yourself in transformers prime to creatr animal like deceptichops? And creating a geisha autobot and more weaker autobots? Common writers of this show must think twice or even 50times, one decepticom per episode? thats just a waste! Put bumble bee aside hes like a tulip put ultramagnus and original autobots in the show and optimus should be just the leader and stop the idea of having beastlike bot or con its really annoying.
