THe designs look a chibi version of the already simple designs of the original series.

"Coming to an end"? It ended over a year ago.

Aligned continuity chugs on yet still! Maybe we’ll see some post-RID Team Bee or Optimus.

Is this before whirl became a crazy 1 eyed autobot because that does not look like the whirl i know i hate how kids want it all nice and friendly Udw whirl is better these designs are ugly hot shot looks good reast yuck the only time il be watching this show is when they go to speedplanet aka velocitron because its rumourd there going there if so i hope i get to see nautica in this show maby maby not who know seeing cybetron override would be cool

Now that I think about it this cast is the kind of thing I've been wanting for awhile, new characters and one returning from a more obscure part of the franchise also this pleases me since I wanted Medix and Hoist to be in the original show so them being here is great in my opinion.

Hot Shot being back and looking quite like his Armada version is quite the thing instead of going with some G1 character instead great to see him back, same thing with Wedge if he is anything like the Rid 2001 version although I never saw that show myself.

Whirl being a chick is interesting but no doubt some fans are going to hate it and for that I would like to quote someone from another website who said this about it.

They didn't make Whirl a girl, they made a girl and named her Whirl because that's kinda TF's thing.

As for Heatwave I welcome him back especially if he is continued to be voiced by the same guy, I assume he is a teacher and that the other Rescue bots from the last show will also be in it in a similar non major role.

Also that's a lot of episodes for 1 season especially compared to Cyberverse's 18.

It's probably a throwback to Whirl's holoavatar from MTMTE. But I am also mentally preparing myself to roll my eyes at the people who are gonna get salty about it.

Transformers: where everything is an homage and coincidences don’t exist!

I....guess we're all just gonna ignore the fact that hot shot ain't the only obscure character making a comeback...?

Literally the very post made right above yours brings attention to the new Wedge.

Oh. So it does, hadn't noticed...
LOL sorry bout that!

We have a small update on Rescue Bots Academy, the new animated series due from Hasbro's media productions, in collaboration with the studio Boulder Media: according to an article on CynopsisMedia, the show has moved up from a previously generic due date of in 2019 to in the fall (of 2018, we assume from the piece).

Transformers Rescue Bots Academy – which Sondon describes as “the same concept as Transformers Rescue Bots but more skewed to a preschool audience” – is slated to bow in the fall.

The article appears to also confirm the target audience - lowering the age bracket a little, perhaps - with Angela Sondon of Discovery Family also mentioning My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop's later incarnation, news we heard from the Hasbro presentation at Toy Fair 2018.
