Rescue Bots Academy Sneak Peek Coming This Saturday

It's heartbreaking to watch this series. I worked on the pitch for the show which I was happy about and had my fingers crossed about actually working on the series. After I heard about how they recast the original actors (most of them would probably have been more than able & willing to continue as the characters) and how they only did the voices in house in NY and LA didn't even get auditions then seeing the format of the show, I have mixed feelings about it. I'm saddened that my friends that worked on RB didn't even get considered to be in the series. I'm saddened I and other friends who are fans and would've loved a shot to be in a TF series were not given that chance. Who knows? Maybe something bigger and better is still on the horizon.

But I feel ya, Jon. After years and years of LA and Vancouver being the places for actors to record Transformers shows, for them to suddenly switch it all up and over to New York (a talent pool that's never done Transformers before) for both RBA and Cyberverse is disheartening indeed.

Yep. Couldn’t agree more.

And now we got links for watching the next four episodes, getting us all caught up with this show as of last Saturday's latest two episodes:

"The TX3000"
"Little Bot Peep"
"Driving a Wedge"
"The Big, Small Rescue"

While I'm not really a fan of this show, many of you no doubt know I'm a numbers junkie. In fact I made a news announcement (on another site of course...) way back When Energon was airing in 2004 as to celebrating the franchises overall 500th episode (which unbeknownst to me was a special in Japan which was dubbed on CN as "Distribution"...although the count IMHO was off, a bit, it can be open to interpretation)

Now however, since the landscape of media has changed, we have some 5 minute episodes, and several series with 11 minute episodes. It becomes more difficult to keep track. If we were to solely count episodes, the franchise would probably be approaching 970. But using my system (counting basically for 21 minutes of content=1 episode). I have determined that the RB Academy Episodes "Hack Attack" & "Life of the Party" which recently aired to be the *900th* Episode of Transformers overall.

In either case. If you count each individually, or pair them up for content time, its a pretty impressive feat. Will there be any acknowledgement by Hasbro, TT or the Fandom as the franchise approaches it's 1000th overall episode? Only time will tell.

Can’t wait for season two. Saw Ratchet in the promo.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have news that the long awaited Rescue Bots Academy Season 2 Trailer is now live!

The Season 2 trailer is 90 seconds long, and gives us a look at the upcoming Rescue bots series, which centers around a group of young new recruits. Following the fact that this is Season 2, the season will focus in on the 2nd year of the recruits training, where each recruit is paired up with a Mentor, which includes the likes of Heatwave, Bumblebee, and Grimlock! We also see that Hot Shot has a lot going on, and it looks like he is set to be a stand out in season 2.

Sadly, there is no sign of Ratchet and Perceptor yet, who are both supposed to be in this new season.

Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Ratchet is on the left at 0:26, sporting a cyberverse design it seems.

It seem like we are getting a story arc thanks to episode 12.
