PLEASE, please let this be the last season! I want a good show with good Deluxe, Voyager and Leader toys!

Why did they have to kill TFA?! It was so perfect...

Um... because... *checks TFwiki* Well, I think because of a bad timeslot, but TFwiki is being mean, so I'm uncertain.

And I honestly think RiD is lots of fun, almost to TF:A levels of such. Does it have the overarching storylines like TF:A had? Eeehhhhhh... not as well, but it still captures some of the heart of that series, IMO. But, as I keep telling my little brother about Rogue One, everyone's intitled to an opinion.

Right, I'm sure RID is perfect for a lot of people, especially younger viewers. I just feel like RID is a little too kiddy, just like how Prime was a little bit too edgy. I'm all about balance when it comes to stories. Still, that's just my opinion.

Being mean where?

From what I recall, Animated was a co-production between Cartoon Network and Hasbro, and when Hasbro partnered with Discovery to create their own channel (The Hub) they chose to end their relations with CN so as to further the switch over to The Hub. Plus, while Hasbro liked Animated, it wasn't what they (as in the previous Transformers team) wanted to continue focusing on since they had created the Binder of Revelation and the Aligned continuity, and wanted to give all their attention to that more than they wanted to continue Animated.

It's no more kiddie that Animated was. It's even no more kiddie than G1 was.

Besides, was that last story arc really all that kiddie? With the visit to the old base from Prime, to the visiting of Mount St. Hilary, to the three-part final showdown against Starscream?

Being mean was simply a joke. I was simply having trouble pinpointing where I'd read it on the site.

I have to agree, though. They manage to get some very serious moments in both TF:A (RIP Prowl ) and RiD. TF:A did handle the more serious storylines better, IMO, but RiD has managed to do better in keeping their villains just dark enough to be interesting, but light enough for a children's show. Megatronus (hope I'm spelling that right) was an awesome villain who died too quickly.

I can't comment on TF:P's faults much. It got me back in the franchise by being just plain awesome. I have nothing bad to say for that series and I was disappointed that it was so rushed at the end.

Are you talking about the Amazon book, or something else?

Most countries showed Prime on CN.

Only America (I think) had it on The Hub. (Which is a US channel)

That means nothing in regards to why Animated was discontinued after its third season, as it was the American CN who who co-produced it with Hasbro.

Wasn't this already explained few times. New Hasbro cycle is like:

Old Animated Series --> LA Movie --> New Animated series

So it appears that RID 2015 will end in this year, after season 3.

That's not how it always goes, though. DOTM came out while TF: Prime was still airing its first season on TV, so Prime came first but ended long after DOTM.

Thanks to StuartMaximus we have some very interesting and exciting news to bring to you. A bus has been photographed in Hong Kong from a member of the Transformers Chile Facebook group that has a pair of new 4-bot combiners on it: Team Bee and Menasor! Menasor looks to be a new take on his Combiner Wars design in Robots in Disguise style and a very thin waist. He also appears to only be composed of 4 Stunticons, as the side of the bus implies. The Team Bee Combiner (Ultra Bee?) has Bumblebee as the torso, Strongarm as the right Strongarm, Sideswipe as the left arm, and Grimlock forming both legs (Oh no: Dinobot in a Combiner!!). "Ultra Bee" was also sighted at a UK asda store, so it seems we are getting some Combiners really soon!

So, are you ready for some combining to take place in Robots in Disguise? Ready for Team Bee to take the ultimate Team Building exercise? Ready for some Stunticons in a new show? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Well, sh*t. There we go, then.

I really want a good toy of both those combiners. Damn they look awesome.

And they had better name him Ultra Bee

Weird how they're both four-bot combiners when the season 3 press release said the Decepticon combiner was five bots.

And Drift gets left out of the Autobot one from some reason.

It is weird. But hey, maybe him, optimus, Ratchet, and Windblade will form a whole other combiner!

Also, let's couple this combiner news to the fact that we are getting 3 new aerialbot toys. Possible RiD Superion?

Him and three others who aren't in the show anymore?

Did you know Stormshot's on-package bio calls him an "aerialbot"?
