Unlike what others thought, I was not too thrilled with his voice. Quite annoying and whiny. I know thats the point, but it doesnt make it any more enjoyable to hear.
A ped is a soil particle, and he burrows through the ground.

As for his voice, ever watch Dexter's Laboratory?


Yeah, is he Dexter? Also, was he supposed to be a worm? His face looked like a killer whale to me.

I was really surprised with his transformation, I doubt they could make a decent toy with him since both modes looked way too different to result in one another in the simple transformation hasbro wants with these toys.

peds actor played dexters evil rival mandark and believe it or not its his actual voice no changes or anything

That's his actual voice? Damn. He probably got made fun of at school, so it's awesome he managed to make a career out of it. It's an excellent voice for cartoons.

Who's "positive review" referred to it as a "kiddie show"?

Also, why do you have to watch TV shows? What exactly is on the line that it makes it a requirement? Because I've certainly never watched television out of necessity.

I have them on my dvr. They are the shows I would rather watch if/when I have the mythical thing called "free time". Nobody is forcing me to do a damned thing. I'm a grown-ass man, and I can do whatever the hell I want as long as my wife gives me permission.

"Kiddie show" is how I have interpreted all discriptions. If that disappoints you or hurts your feelings, well, I'm not sorry and I don't feel bad, but I'm willing to fake that if it puts a smile on your face, sunshine.


First off, pop a chill pill before you pop a blood vessel.

Second, if being a kid's show bothers you, you should probably get off this site dedicated to kid's shows.

Third, I do like how you're trying to change the context of "the other shows I have to watch." I mean, I already know you're making up points to try and justify a book by it's cover, but really...

Kinda like when you made up your mind about Beware the Batman before watching it, simply based on promo material?

Or are you the only one who is allowed to do that?


No, but then again, I don't expect you to have understood the actually very legitimate reasons I didn't like the show.

The key difference here is that I didn't reject the show because I thought I understood the overall tone of it based off of positive reviews a forum. I rejected it because the art style was godawful, they knowingly declined to use the best characters of the franchise, and those they did use were so heavily altered they ended up unrecognizable at best. (Anarky, for instance, was never actually on the show) The episodes I did watch (And I told you I watched it) I couldn't stand.

I rejected the show because they **** up Batman and bragged about it.

But it doesn't shock me you can't tell the difference.

Oh look, so the difference is that while he stated it's OK for his kids but not something he'd be interested in, you went into a fanboy rage, which justifies everything.
Got it ;)

I think you need to get your eyes checked. You appear to be reading things that I never typed.

Kid's shows don't bother me. I freaking love the new Star Wars Rebels show. See, I have this thing called a 'personal opinion'. This might shock you, but I'm not going to enjoy every single thing that you enjoy. This show is one of those things. It doesn't appeal to me at this point.

Also, I'm not justifying anything. I'm straight out judging this book by its cover. Same thing every other single human does. I've also said several times that when and if I put this show on for my kids, I'll probably give it a chance then.

I'm having a hard time understanding why my lack of interest in this show is bothering you so much? Are you bored? Perhaps you need to take your gentleman parts, find some nice lady parts, and have them hang out together for a while? It might do you some good, relieve some stress.

It's nothing against you personally or even about you having a personal opinion on something. It's just that one ever month or two Shadowman feels awful about himself or something and just picks on someone at random for completely arbitrary reasons. And he really doesn't care what it's about.
My personal theory is that he's frustrated about having to hide his sexuality from his friends and family. Really, you should feel sorry for him, I do.

I'm already kinda tired of this "Monster of the week" formula, they should offer us something different very soon. I hope that in next few episodes there will be some plot not centered about ne Con, but Steeljaw could bring some Megatron-like plan.

Also, it is strange that usually one Decepticon is able to fight all bots on his own, yet in 5 on 5 battle Autobots seems to be superior. It isn't problem for me that Aboutots are getting stronger, but there should be something between.

Kids shows don't bother me, kiddie shows do. That doesn't mean it's a bad show, just one that I, at this time, and based on the reviews of people on here who like it, do not care to watch. That's it.

I don't see the issue here?

there, no insults.

Is there a difference? The word "kiddie" means "of or pertaining to kids". A children's show is a show for children, no matter the age.

There is a difference to me. A kids show is just a show made for kids. A kiddie show is one that fails to appeal to the older viewer. It's a subjective discription that totally depends on the eye of the beholder.

There is a difference to me. A kids show is just a show made for kids. A kiddie show is one that fails to appeal to the older viewer. It's a subjective discription that totally depends on the eye of the beholder.
Wouldn't the latter be more of a "baby show"?

No. I've got a one and a two year old. Trust me, baby shows are in a class by themselves. A class filled with horrors.

RID has successfully appealed to older viewers, otherwise no one in this thread would be talking about how good it is. Even people who were apprehensive at first admit it was better than expected. Hell, my only issue with it is purely with continuity with prior works.

When I finally get a chance to sit down and watch it with my son, and I find out I like it, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. My entire point, my only point, has been that I have not heard anything yet that makes me want to watch it.

For the record, I'm a young adult with no children of my own who likes and enjoys the Rescue Bots cartoon much moreso than I did TF: Prime.

I like it more than RID too, but RID is slowly working its way upward to catch up.

And what would you have had to hear in order for you to be interested in it? Because apparently all the positive reviews did was make you think it was a "kiddie show" despite no one actually saying anything of the sort.

On the flip side, though, there were some negative reviewers calling it "kiddie", but they were more complaining about how it's not as dark and serious as Prime was, and were more like the people who called Animated "kiddie".

Drop it. Ironhidensh has given his opinion on things, you're bordering on harrassment the way you're going after him forcing him to justify his opinion.
