Erica Lindberg to Voice Transformers: Robots In Disguise Combiner Force Windblade

Fellow Seibertronian Terrsolpix has sent us a screenshot with Transformers: Robots in Disguise news! Episodes 8 (Get a Clue), 9 (Out of the Shadows) and 10 (Disordered Personalities) of the Combiner Force tranche of the new season for the animated series are now available on the Cartoon Network app, though you need an account to view them. Check it out!

*cough* 10 is also available but my screen wasn't big enough for all 3 to fit *cough*

Last one 'murica got was 10.

Have they changed the dates - ep 10 should of been in the US 24/6/17 - UK air 9/7/17. So us in the UK could be ahead then?

So uhh Blastwave is a bloody toad looking dude who is a bounty hunter and speaks in sign language.

At least it looks more like the toy than the card art.

Isn't that the remode of Megatronus & used for Bludgeon. I'll have to have a look at the toys

Prime Nova wrote:Isn't that the remode of Megatronus & used for Bludgeon. I'll have to have a look at the toys

Yup it is Blastwave but his toy doesn't look like him.

It was also confirmed on Twitter by one of the guys who worked on the show that Bludgeon is a toy only character and will not appear on the show.

Can't remember the guy's name right now but i think it was Adam.

latest episodes

Hasbro updated their website's Robots in Disguise section to both give a synopsis on the current season (which is officially titled as Season 4) and an episode count fo the series.

The episode count (if true) gives us the first hint at more episodes to come. We knew season 4 would have 26 episodes, but that only gives us a total episode count of 71. Hasbro instead writes a total count of 78 episodes, so there are 7 episodes beyond season 4. Maybe this will be similar to that Starscream arc made up of only 6 episodes.

Here is the previously mentioned synopsis:

Combine and conquer Season 4 with your favorite Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Bumblebee’s rogue team of young Autobots increases their sphere of influence and their fight against the Decepticons from the Antarctic to the moon! Whether handling road races or runaway trains, fugitives or viruses, this team is out of the shadows and ready to combine and conquer! Blurr Roll into adventure with new teammates and your favorite Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

Makes one wonder who wrote that description since both the Hasbro brand team (John Warden and Ben Montano, at least) and the show's creators (Adam Beechen, at least) treat the Starscream arc as an extension of Season 2 and current season as the third.

Also, whoever wrote it snuck in a few episode titles in there ("Sphere of Influence", "Out of the Shadows").

Though, the repetition of "combine and conquer" is a little odd, as is calling Bumblebee's team a "rogue" team.

But people part of the show did call it season 4. remember this?

a now removed instagram post from Tim Cahill, confirming a Fourth Season is in the works

He's a Hasbro studios writer.

Plus I have it under very good authority that the voice cast was also given the info that the starscream episodes were season 3.

Anyways, watching the new episodes and I realized that Blastwave is using the Megatronus model so an accurate toy should have been a redeco of Megatronus and not Bludgeon.

A similar thing happened back with Beast Wars in which Doug Parker (Terrorsaur's voice actor) once mentioned (at a time before Season 2 premiered) his having recorded Terrosaur lines for "Season 3" of that show when Terrorsaur died in the first episode of Season 2.

Hold on? did Nitra just say that Blastwave escaped from Trypticon prison? does this mean that we might see Trypticon in this?(kinda like we saw Metroplex & Fort Max in TF Animated)

I'm pretty sure it's just a reference and a name-drop -- RiD's been fond of those lately. Maybe, but especially since we don't see much of Cybertron in this series; don't hold your breath.

Stuartmaximus wrote:Hold on? did Nitra just say that Blastwave escaped from Trypticon prison? does this mean that we might see Trypticon in this?(kinda like we saw Metroplex & Fort Max in TF Animated)

Nightra was lying about his escape, since he's the bounty hunter after her and not vice versa like she initially claimed.

As for Trypticon Prison, since the Nemesis was made from Trypticon, who in turn was originally made from Trypticon Station, it's possible that this Trypticon Prison is the Nemesis having been refitted into a prison after it was downed in Predacons Rising.

Yeah I'm going with the whole "turning the dead spaceship into a prison" although it's likely grounded and on Cybertron there is a possibility that the Nemesis was fixed and is now a mobile prison ship like the Alchemor.

If that's the case how long before Trypticon crashes here to eh?

I can't wait until Mecha Godzilla speeds down to the planet at impossible speed, killing all life instantly.

So.....toywise....Nightra & Flamesword will just be repaints of Strongarm & Crazybolt

btw it was cool to see a full reveal of Motormaster(who looks even better than the toy does)

Wait, shoot, is there a link to the other episode(s)? I only saw the one with Nightra.

Have a look again....i posted both

Bee brings up a good point in episode 12, that villains don't think they are doing wrong. I have already heard people talking about this concept IRL but its nice to add it to the show for people who have not thought of it yet.

Except for cases where it's villains who boast such rhetoric as "My evil will reign supreme!" or "You cannot defeat the powers of evil!" or even just "Of course I'm a bad guy, I'm EVIL!"

I don't think them getting Toys is a sure thing. Remember that polar bear who had steel jaws model?

...This is the cartoon thread.

Episode 13 up!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Hp9Z6vaL8

& hopefully episode 14'll be along shortly too!

Cartoon network on demand only has up to episode 10 up.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Cartoon network on demand only has up to episode 10 up.

The U.S. CN hasn't aired any new episodes past that one. Episodes 11-13 of Combiner Force have aired in the UK.

Us in the UK are going to have to wait for ep 3.14 until 2 months after it has been shown in the US but we'll see the 3.26 a month before. I hope that they don't do a DVD Movie like with Prime. Then it'll be released in the US then on TV & us in the UK have to wait 3 years for it to be released on DVD & never shown on TV

So I finally got caught up and watched episodes 11-13 of season 3. The episodes were pretty good. I liked all the little nods. The most frustrating thing is...where is this season going?

I mean with season two there were obviously two directions (Team Bee and away missions with Team Prime)...

But this season...I don't know...It appears just random stuff goes on, then at the end you are reminded...Hey The Stunticons are out there, and Hey Soundwave is collecting Decepticon Hunters for some reason... To what end?

It clearly appears there are two separate threads to this season, and they don't mesh well together, and it shows. Also I think the idea of slowly revealing your adversary is a novel idea, but we are 13 episodes in, No Menasor, and they haven't figured out the whole BB combiner thing yet...its getting old, especially for a kids show where you want the action to be up front and fast. I think the slow reveal of a complex Combiner team would have been great on Transformers: Prime, but on this show it just isn't working. Also I immensely miss Optimus Prime, what the heck is going on with his "Investigation"...I definitely want to see some of that, but perhaps that will be the 7 episode "finale" or whatever is planned...

I guess I'm just a bit spoiled. season 2 was a bit underwhelming, then we had that amazing 6 episode Starscream Arc. I guess just a general lack of interest in this show makes it seems more like chore now, then something fun I should look forward to when new episodes come out.

On a positive note, I'll give kudos to the show for introducing Blastwave the first Transformer to use Sign Language. My daughter thought this was especially neat as she is learning ASL.

Totally agree. The episodes alone are fun, but there seems to be a distinct lack of focus on the overall direction of the story and certain elements like Optimus not showing up in so long certainly don't help.
Still, like I said; episodes themselves are fine. Slashmark is great, I liked Fixit's character development as well as the small bit of lore on the War we got in the knight episode; and I totally agree, Blastwave using sign language is great Representation is so important so I was very happy to see that

ok...so I just read the synopsis for #15-#17, looks like things will finally start to pick up. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Via the old, reliable TV guide Zap2It, we have the titles and synopses for three upcoming episodes of Transformers: Robots in Disguise season 3, namely, episodes 15-17, showing during the month of August! Read on below for more.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Combine and Conquer

Original Airdate:
8/12/2017

Bee's new leadership style is put to the test when Motormaster and the Stunticons go after a Meteorite Deflector Dish; the Bee Team is forced to combine and improvise together to take on Menasor.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Moon Breaker

Original Airdate:
8/19/2017

Optimus Prime arrives to recruit Drift for a special mission, sparking a competition between Sideswipe and Strongarm over who'd be better suited to take Drift's spot; the Autobots go to the moon to recover a dangerous weapon.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Exiles

Original Airdate:
8/26/2017

Steeljaw and his pack return and launch an attack on the Scrapyard, forcing the Autobots to abandon their home base; Sideswipe's fear of abandonment threatens the Bee Team when they face their foes again at the Crown River Dam.

Wait wait wait!

When did Steeljaw break out and who is in his current pack?

FINALLY, Combiners for real! Took their time.

Also nice to see Steeljaw back. I was worried the series was getting a bit too geewun and forgetting its more original roots.

Title (or Header) needs to reflect that it is season 3...

Also, we aren't getting new episodes the week starting this Monday because this is CN's -genius- schedule for that week.

If you are a person with great sensitivities, an idea of good taste and common sense, or you're a human being living on the planet Earth; you might want to look away.

Cor blimey!


Meanwhile, on the western side of the Atlantic, 'Guilty as Charged" finally aired in the U.S. this morning.

Who's dumbass idea was it to do a full week of almost nothing but Teen Titans Go? I'd like to congratulate them for their role in the stupidity of the generation that they're molding to lead us one day. May this world crumble to pieces.

That gawd awful cancer has been on in perpetuity since it began. We don't have cable or satellite so its not so much an issue here, but when my kids visit their Grandparents or other friends this show always seems to be on, and it infuriates me to no end, I keep telling my kids, that brain cells die every time they watch it.

What's worse is Teen Titans Go is a much larger brand than Transformers: RID.

Bout time we get legitimate combining.

Oh and Steeljaw? Really? huh.

This week has seemingly been the week for Concept art, as we've seen a ton for The Last Knight, and now we have some for the 2015 Robots In Disguise series, from artist Eric Brown. The never-before-seen pieces of art show the original concepts for characters like Jazz, Crazybolt, and, most importantly, an alternate design for Megatronus. It also shows different locations from the show, and weapons. We've mirrored some of the art below, but please go check out Eric's full catalog on his Coroflot page, here

In the UK for about 3 weeks we had Spider-man series 1-4 on non repeat 24 hours loop. We also get Rescuebots on non stop loop series 1-3.

I need to get caught back up on this season, 3 or 4 episodes behind now. Is it still meandering aimlessly?
