And it was another crossover with RID as the Mini-Con was a Cyclone and Sideswipe guest-starred.
With Sideswipe aware of what Cyclones are, this episode would logically have to come after the six RID shorts that formally introduced the Cyclones, as the second short had him unaware of what Cyclones were and needing to be told about them by Drift's Mini-Cons.
Additionally, Sideswipe sarcastically comments on both "Roll to the Rescue!" and "Power Up and Energize!" in regards to Bumblebee's own attempts to find a catchphrase, so this still takes place before the RID season 1 finale. Yet, Sideswipe also comments on the Bee Team's GroundBridge malfunctioning as though it's malfunctioned more than once before, meaning this episode must also come after at least both "Deep Trouble" and "The Champ".
Based on this, here's an update to the proposed RID season 1/RB season 4 timeline that I previously posted:
Pilot (Part 1)
Pilot (Part 2)
Trust Exercises / New Normal
More than Meets the Eye / Bridge Building
W.W.O.D.? / Arrivals
As the Kospego Commands! / Plus One
Collect 'Em All / Back to Virtual Reality
True Colors / Vanishing Returns
Rumble in the Jungle / Ghost in the Machine
Can You Dig It? / Enemy of My Enemy
Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting! / Mayor May Not
Hunting Season / All Spark Day
Out of Focus / Part-Time Heroes
Sideways / The More Things Change... / The More Things Stay the Same
Even Robots Have Nightmares / Hot Rod Bot
Some Body, Any Body / King Burns
One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing / Pizza Pi Party
Uninvited Guest
Deep Trouble /
The Champ /
Knock, Knock! / The Power of Dibs / Back and Forth / The Tragedy of Slipstream / A Level Playing Field / Two Plus Two Equals More
The Need for Speed
The Trouble with Fixit
Lockout
Similarly Different
The Buzz on Windblade
Ghosts and Impostors
Battlegrounds, Part 1
Battlegrounds, Part 2
Also, the latest episode of Robots in Disguise, "History Lessons" (whether it's considered season 2 episode 14 or season 3 episode 1), aired on Teletoon in Canada today. No idea if any Canadians recorded it or will upload said recording onto the Internet or not, though.

I'm actually interested in the RiD crossovers on Rescue Bots. Not that I'm really keeping up on that show, but I quite enjoy seeing Rescue Bot takes on RiD designs. Now, while I'm done with school, I'm in dire need of some "History Lessons". Canadians, help us out.

Though, on the other hand, Sideswipe's design was rather... unique, compared to his RID cartoon model. While his general look and silhouette were the same, he had a windshield design on his robot mode chest, which is odd considering how his RID cartoon model has his chest instead formed from his car hood. Even more inexplicable is that Sideswipe's Rescue Bots toy also has his car hood forming his robot chest, with the windshield ending up on the toy's back. Furthermore, Sideswipe's altmode in Rescue Bots looked to be based more directly on his RID cartoon altmode design, instead of his RB toy's altmode (which looks a little different from his RID cartoon altmode). So while Bounce got a design that looks (or would look) the same across both shows, Sideswipe instead got some artistic liberties for his RB cartoon design.

What was really cool, design-wise, in this crossover is that Bounce (the Cyclone Mini-Con who appeared in the episode) was not only the same body-type as Ransack and Backtrack, but had a character model that literally looked like it was lifted straight out of the RID cartoon's art style. If he were to ever appear on RID, he'd virtually look exactly the same as he did on Rescue Bots, much like how Soundwave looked practically identical to his Prime cartoon design when he showed up in RID! Multi-show design synergy!PrymeStriker wrote:I'm actually interested in the RiD crossovers on Rescue Bots.

Watched S2E14, which makes sense... as most seasons typically have 26 episodes (I know there are some exceptions such as Prime S3 but...) and Decepticon Island just seemed like a mid-level event, not so much as an epic season finale should feel...
Anyway History Lessons was ok... I liked The idea of going back to the old base from TF Prime...would have been nice if Fowler was there as a cameo/tour guide...but oh well you cant have everything.. cant wait to see more and perhaps get a real perspective as to how much time has passed between Prime & RiD...
Also and It may be just me but...although Prime & BB have made regular cameos on RB since the beginning, I believe this is the first time another show character (Sideswipe) has appeared. I know fans of RB don't want to admit it...but I am strongly feeling S4 will be the end...and that is nothing to be ashamed of. The show had a good run...more episodes than any other series to date. It may be a subtle way of transitioning kids from RB to RiD, though my son has already moved on...I'm pretty sure if I told him S4 was the end, he would finish it out of respect for what he started when he was 5 .

Watch while it's still up. The very beginning is cut off, though. The missing bit is the others approaching Fixit to talk about stop #41.

Just watched it a bit ago. Holy cow there is a lot of infodump dealing with what happened after Prime. appears to be a bunch of stuff that happened and I would have liked a little bit more exposition with that

Indeed, and that's what I find interesting to see.
Meanwhile, checked out "History Lessons". It was pretty good, but I think I'm a little more open to this being season two rather than season three, because this episode didn't particularly feel like a premiere. Alas, that makes "Decepticon Island" a little odd.

Twould be a "mid-season climax event", then. Or the end of the season's first story arc.PrymeStriker wrote:Meanwhile, checked out "History Lessons".

History Lessons was nice.
I'm still really uneasy about the desert/winter camos being shameless to-sell-toys things. I mean I get it, every Transformers series does it; but this just seems especially obnoxious, even more than Armada's Powerlinx 'upgrades'.
Also the base was attacked by Decepticons and Bumblebee went to hide? What? Wasn't the whole point in TFP that the base was hidden and that when it was found at the end of Season 2 it was a massive game-changer because the Decepticons immediately blew the hell out of it?
And I certainly don't recognise those defence systems from TFP...
Otherwise, great episode. I liked Paralon, the callback to Wheeljack's first appearance is nice; and I like that Buzzstrike appears to be a combination of a Targetmaster and an Armada-esque Powerlinx power-up Mini-con, which I really like. That's what the Aligned continuity (though it seems a joke to call it that anymore) is all about after all, right? Melding together aspects of previous series to make something new and entertaining.

Pretty sure he was talking about some offscreen event that we never saw in Prime, possibly set before the show's beginning in the time when there were Decepticons on Earth three years prior. And maybe they were Decepticons who weren't part of the Nemesis crew and never got to report back their finding of the Autobots' base to Megatron (if they were Vehicons, the Autobots might've even killed them).Kurona wrote:Also the base was attacked by Decepticons and Bumblebee went to hide?

You are correct. They weren't in Prime. They're likely from more offscreen events, like the above incident and the time Bee and Bulkhead arm-wrestled.Kurona wrote:And I certainly don't recognise those defence systems from TFP...

True. Not necessarily saying it's out of the realm of possibility; just that if you're going to a place specifically as a callback it'd make sense to allude to things that, y'know, were part of that place rather than bringing up random things. Just raises eyebrows and questions.
Still, not enough to bring down a great episode. Interested to see how things go with Buzzstrike. I mean he's obviously gonna join the autobots - even if he wasn't paired with Bumblebee in his toy that's really obvious from how he acts in the episode - but it'll be fun to see how.

I feel like some of the callbacks could have been things that happened after Prime finished. The bots could have come back to fix things up and finish off their base on Earth to permanently return to Cybertron, and there could have been cons left behind. plus, it would explain the lack of anyone else present as things were closed down

In the next episode called, "Strongarm's Biggest Score", looks like her biggest score is Scatterspike, judging by the footage shown at this year's Comic Con. In the footage, you can see Scatterspike completely beat Strongarm senselessly, before took off. Is it true, that Scatterspike is being described as Strongarm's rival of sorts, hence the title?

Egh, "Strongarm's Big Score" was kind of annoying for the most part. All the "testing" going on throughout the episode was so unnecessary. There were more important things to deal with, and it made me want to strangle both Strongarm and Fixit. That's an impressive feat, especially for the latter. Otherwise, I did like the end section with more revelations about the Decepticons, Minicons, and contacting Optimus. Not sure how to feel about them all being repaints of previous enemies, but screw it.
Next week, Episode 3: "Feminist Logic".
...
Oh, sorry, I always confuse that title. I meant "Pretzel Logic".

If the Ark ever did sit there, that is, since we have no idea what happened to the Ark in this continuity after it left Cybertron through a space bridge and went on a planet-hopping adventure in space.Stuartmaximus wrote:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:So, An autobot base in Mt Saint Helens, weapons minicons wanting freedom, repaints of season 1 and 2 characters for the bad guys. huh

btw isn't Aerobolt supposed to be a good guy? i know he's supposed to be Power Surge Op Prime's minicon(well...at least where the Leader Class PSOP is concerned) so i dunno why he's hanging out with a bunch of enemy minicons(coz Clawtrap is a decepticon! you can see his insignia)
