The race-war had begun.

Machines were building robot-babies, to replace other babies.

Everyone knows what happened next:

Aw, man! You mean we gotta wait that long to find out anything about the plot of this show? It just got its first plot point in yesterday's episode.

Yeah, the first hint of an actual enemy. Something this show is at risk of becoming abysmally boring without.

Say, I think I know who the enemy is! Who still has an axe to grind with the TF franchise in the wake of their last cartoon cancellation? And who has a supply of nanites? Cartoon Network! That's why they cancelled Generator Rex did a soft reboot to Ben 10 all of a sudden: the forced continuity implosion mixed Rex's world's nanites with the ones from Alien Swarm via the dimensional bridge Ben used to get to his world in the crossover, creating an omniversal singularity that allows CN to ship the hybrid nanites into rival networks' shows and f@#& them up! These nanites weren't all that effective if they couldn't act on organic matter or even overwhelm the power plant, so maybe Time Warner will find some way to act through the HUB's reruns of Batman cartoons next time.

No, wait, DC's superheroes aren't to blame; the HUB airing that wretched Superhero Squad cartoon is f@#&ing up their network far worse.

Think that's too far fetched? Remember, continuity is a battle waged in the hearts and minds of every fan, everywhere, every day! Whenever someone talks about Diaclone like it's actually TF history within the context of the fiction, whenever someone implies that Transformers and GoBots had actual battles in the mid-'80s, wherever Turkish Star Wars carries more weight in the minds of fans than the prequels, you too may already be one of the Space Thunder Kids.

My tongue has reflexes you've never dreamed of; it cannot be bitten. You should hear my Seaspray impression.

And I said "at risk of" becoming boring, as in it hasn't happened...yet. It's just that despite their best efforts at variety, the pattern of the benevolent mad-scientist inventing something that leads to a problem is coming to dominate the majority of episodes. The implication that the can of nanites came from some other organization that might want to sabotage things on Griffin Rock seems to have added the necessary next layer to the dynamic of the show just in time to prevent that established routine from becoming dull.

And I didn't say 'Cons because I agree that they aren't needed here. I'm guessing it's some human organization out to sabotage all of the island's advanced tech, leading to an episode down the road where all human tech becomes unreliable, making sentient robots the only hope to avert disaster and restore order, forcing the bots to 'out' themselves to the rest of the town in a way that leads to their being accepted as the aliens they are. At least that's what I guessed the SETI dish episode (best one so far IMO) might be laying some groundwork for.

Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.

Hmm, still no sign of the plot arc that was hinted at in episode 6. I really hope this show kicks it up a level since it was off to a very strong start from the get-go.

Cody, his family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.

For a second there, I thought this was going to be the third Transformers Christmas episode ever made (Seriously, was was there never a Christmas episode until animated?), but I guess not.

Either way, here's hoping the plot gets going not long after these new episodes start airing.

Also, darn it! I'm gonna miss this one the morning it airs since I'll be at BotCon!

I'm also DVRing it, but I've never missed the day an episode aired.

Bumblevivisector wrote:And if it turns out the Weather Dominator Pearl of Bahoudin machine was actually sabotaged, that subplot may be rolling again before we know it.

I hope so, as the previous two episodes don't seem to have anything that ties into the newly-introduced plot (babysitting a robo-baby, and looking for a pet at the zoo).

An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer and wreaks havoc.

For continuity's sake, this better be referring to the robotic T-Rex from episode 1 and not THE Dinobots from FOC (as they haven't appeared yet and their full return in the present day is better suited to happen in TF: Prime).

Plus, it's only one "Dinobot" instead of "Dinobots". So, I'm hoping that it's referring to that robotic T-Rex.

Though, a hacking intruder, eh? Sounds like sabotage to me. Could this be linked with the mystery surrounding the Nanobots from before?

Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots episode 12, "The Other Doctor". This episode is scheduled to air May 19th, see the brief synopsis below:

A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.

Well, the title, "The Other Doctor", made me wonder "Who" as well, but I can't see Rescue Bots slipping in any Easter Eggs for Whovians; not that there's no precedent for that, according to David Wise and UK comic continuity.

If he is actually based on someone, I'll be first to guess Arkeville.

Houston, we have a plot!
