Fellow Seibertronians, Dr.Va'al has pointed us in the direction of a new video previewing Transformers: Rescue Bots Season 4, and the introduction of the new female Rescue Bot: Quickshadow. Quickshadow, who was first revealed here, is set to join the cast in season 4, which is set to begin April 23, at 8AM ET. Check out the video and the summary - which can be found here, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Big news for Heatwave, Chase, Blades, and Boulder: in the fourth season of Discovery Family Channel’s Transformers Rescue Bots, the Autobots will not only celebrate their 100th episode, but they’ll get two new friends, including the first female Rescue Bot!

ER and Doctor Who’s Alex Kingston will guest star as Quickshadow, the first female Bot, while The Last Man on Earth and Bob’s Burgers star Kristen Schaal will provide the voice for another new Bot, Chickadee, in episodes airing later in Season 4.

The new season of the Emmy and Annie Award-nominated series premieres with back-to-back episodes on April 23. “New Normal” and Bride Building” finds the Rescue Bots forced to reveal their extraterrestrial backgrounds to the good people of Griffin Rock, when an evil alien group invades the town.

It’s up to the citizens to vote on whether or not the Bots get to stay in town, but, spoiler alert, since the rest of the season revolves around the gang completing construction of the cool new Mainland Training Center – as seen in the Season 4 trailer above – it’s probably safe to assume Heatwave and the gang will remain Griffin Rock presences for the foreseeable future.

Transformers Rescue Bots Season 4 premieres April 23 at 8 a.m. on Discovery Family Channel

Can't wait to see what Chickadee looks like so people can draw her in a Mabel sweater....

We have had weird names before but...Chickadee

What kind of name is Chickadee?

I wonder if it's a code name to keep the character secret until their debut.

You can have that, I want Quickshadow to say "sweetie" or "spoilers" just once.

Season 4 Episode 1 Yputube Link (until it gets taken down) (Not my video)

SabrBlade always does the good reviews, so I will wait for him to jump in. (Speak of the Devil...)

You beat me to it. That screen name I remember seeing posting RID15 on Dailymotion, I think. So hopefully they show up there more permanently soon.

I'm gonna sound like psj for saying this though, but trying to reconnect Rescue Bots, Prime, and RID15 is going to get painful. On the one hand, if 3 years have passed between season 3 and 4 and several months have lapsed between times Heatwave has seen Prime, since if he has been trying since Predacons Rising and THATS only been a few months, the presence of the older kids and the new Toddler would cramp the timeline.

So, theory 1) Three years since End of Prime, and the beginning of Rescue Bots. That means, give or take a few months, the three month Lapse that Heatwave has not been able to reach Optimus is not his death per the Wiki, but in fact the time span of the Season 2 Stealth team arc of RID15. By relation, that means season 1 of RID is ~2 years after the End of Transformers Prime, which does not necessarily contradict anything SAID by any series, but that does not feel like the implied timelines given how long Ratchet implied he was rounding up fugitives. Which is probably better discussed in RID, but this is the ongoing series now.

Theory 2)
Rescue Bots is still occuring during the Span of Prime. Predacons Rising gave the impression of events moving fairly quickly after the main series, but maybe there's enough stretch between the End of Prime and the beginning of the Movie, that Prime was able to build the Rescue Bots in Legacy before he left to rebuild Cybertron.

Theory 3)
We're all cray nutzo cookoo for still trying to fit square pegs in round holes after 3 seasons.

I love how the ALiens are using Zebra calls for their vocals. felt bad for the alien leader not getting soethign to eat, at least he could've been given a cow? Autobots should be nicer than that... nah.

I love how Huxley lost a bet to Neederlander. That was classic. She'd be the one to figure it out though, expecially after Riders of Midwinter, that's a lot of interaction with them.
Season 4 Episode 2 on Youtube (Until its taken down) (Not my video)

What is it with Autobots and Ground Bridges? Soundwave can use one to scratch his back from across the room, but Autobots can't get a Land Line built? I bet this is what FIxit was trying to do with the dual vortex whatever. I think this is the most impressive of the Ground Bridges seen so far.

Classic Huxley.

Is this a new persona for Milo? I don't remember him crying about the Sky falling before? But then, I don't remember him either.

I'm not sold on Heatwave's not likeing the people knowing yet. All the pieces are there about him trying to protect his team's safety and privacy, and his own brooding loner nature, but I am just not feeling the whole picture. Hopefully we get past this quickly.

Sand Surfing! Using the Boat was unexpected for me. I woulda used the ladder, send Chase up, then he can pull Heatwave. kinda like the Marines and the Wall drill.

Or the Dino Modes. Not sure they woulda helped, but the Camel seems to get around okay. Camel!

Kids love Fire truck rides. I hope they never stop using that routine.

just watched the first two eps of season 4, aye they were good

this new building they're gonna be constructing....i'm thinking it's probably a basebot of some kind

maybe Grandus

they're certainly giving enough hints that it can transform

the mysterious car by the oasis...could that be our first glimpse of Quick Shadow

mind you...it looked like it had the wrong profile for Quick Shadow's vehicle mode.....it looked more like a 4 wheel drive

Why the spoiler tags, guys? These eps aired when they were supposed to, not ahead of time. We don't need to spoiler-tag for episodes that air on time (this thread and the Prime thread are full of unspoiler-tagged episode talk).

That's why we posted episode links to watch 'em. Otherwise, they needn't come into this thread until they do see them.

Eh, I am used to a notion that a Spoiler doesn't expire until at least the next day, for those ho can't watch it right when it airs. It is a colossal pain in the aft though, I admit.

Showed these to my son. He enjoyed watching them, but as expected I can see he is beginning to age out. I'm sure he will stick with it if this is the last season, if it goes on much more I doubt it. Although he doesn't miss a beat, when the Rescue Bots activated their ground bridge and saw (seemingly two of them) he immediately said "Shadow Zone...cool Soundwave!"... but then I reminded him who this show was for, and that they would never do that.

I am curious though, to see if we get any links between RB and RiD, so we can get some idea of how much time has actually passed between the end of Prime, and the beginning of RiD. Based on the aging of Cody, and the fact that Doc Green (& Wife) now have a baby, Id say 2-3 years at the most since the events of the end of season 3. But Cody seems to talk as if it had been several yeas, but then again, the passage of time from a kids point of view is a bit different than an adults.

i still say that new training centre will possibly be Grandus

it's certainly a robot in disguise, seeing as they're giving us enough hints about it, as for a playset coming out....as long as it isn't like the non robot playset of High Tide(YES! i know that more recently the Deep Water High Tide came out that DOES transform into a robot).

Why? Why would you ever think that something so obscure and unknown by the general fandom would even be on the radar of this show whose target audience would barely even know who Megatron is? This is a not a show that dives that deep into obscurity.

Your expectations of Grandus are highly unrealistic, as the current team at Hasbro likely doesn't know who Grandus even is, let alone that he exists. The team who made Titan class Metroplex had never even heard of Metrotitan, who is just as obscure as Grandus.

Someone even said that the current Hasbro didn't even know what Beast Wars was until the fans had explained it to them.

well....we'll just see how this plays out....on the show....& what/who this building eventually turns out to be!....if i'm right i'm right.....if i'm wrong....then....i'm wrong

oh...& hypothetically....say that it did turn out to be Grandus! would you hate on the series & suddenly stop watching it from then on in? seeing as you are trying to justify against it being him.
