It's gonna be kinda weird having no decepticons causing trouble in a TF cartoon series.

Probably. The Playskool Go-Bots cartoon only had Go-Bots (the antagonists were also Go-Bots, but were merely rascals who were inadvertently causing trouble).Tidalwavex wrote:Will this be the FIRST TF toy line that's supported by a cartoon to feature only Autobots & no decepticons.

The Return of Convoy toyline only had Cybertrons (Autobots), but there was no cartoon. If there had been, there definitely would have been Destrons (Decepticons) in it due to the fiction featuring them.

I've never heard of any playskool gobots cartoon series that aired on TV in America. Please,this is the 2nd time you said this thing existed. please post a few links with proof.
If their was a return of convoy cartoon it would of had super megatron & then the upgraded ultra magatron. it would have also had that alien head thing with all the tentacles. I can only imagine it would have had more zombie transformers in it. my guess is a few brave toys were meant to be late TF toys.

I was going to respond before, but IAmThePeej beat me to it. Plus, I was on vacation over the weekend with limited Internet access, which is why I wasn't on at all yesterday or today until now.Tidalwavex wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Probably.

Anyway, the Go-Bots cartoon was only four episodes long with two episodes being released on a VHS packed with a special Speed-Bot figure, while the other two aired on TV only in limited markets.
Here's the opening from it.
False Convoy, Dark Nova, Super Megatron, the Galaman army, the Novaroid army, Ultra Megatron, the Great Galaman army, the Great Novaroid army, and the Star Giant. Considering the small number of Cybertron/Autobot warriors in this toyline, I'd say that'sa fair number of Destrons/Deceptcions to even things out.Tidalwavex wrote:If their was a return of convoy cartoon it would of had super megatron & then the upgraded ultra magatron. it would have also had that alien head thing with all the tentacles.

So John DiMaggio isn't in it at all? I was kinda looking foward to him in it, but it's not a horrible loss. I mean, we got PETER CULLEN. In all honesty, who cares about the rest of the cast?

That might be stretching it a bit since this show is gonna be targeted at a Preschool age with simplistic plots and likely no evil villains.Autobot Megatron wrote:Any more good news and this might pass Prime in my excitement!

Of course, but I am getting very VERY excited about it. It kinda scares me, to tell 'ya the truth. Considering it is a 3-5 year-old show and all... Am I the only one? (And I've just noticed all my tongue smilies have been appearing like the one I just used. Why?)

Stage 1: Eww, no way am I gunna watch that!
Stage 2: Alright, I'll watch like 2 minutes. It's going to be crappy anyway.
Stage 3: Wow, didn't think it'd be that good.
Stage 4: Jesus, this show is awesome!
Stage 5: OH MY GOD I WANNA WORSHIP THIS SHOW!

You know, both of these posts just continue to remind me of what it's like to be a Brony. Not in a literal sense, though, but in a sense of being one who is excited for a rather unexpected subject that one would normally brush of as being lousy or out of my demographic. Well, I don't care how kiddie it is. I'm gonna give it a fair shot and judge it accordingly. Who knows? It could just turn out to be another diamond in the rough.Mindmaster wrote:As much as I don't like the prospect of a Transformers show lacking Decepticons/Predacons/any other bad guy anyone else can think of, this is probably what's going to happen to me in the future;

i wonder if Lacey Chabert will get replaced by Mila Kunis halfway through the season
Why would that happen?

because thats what happened with her on Family Guy. though the funny thing is that they aired it out of order so her voice would go back and forth between each actress for that first season. i think the dvds even kept that order. lol

Lacey Chabert left Family Guy after some wonky contractual stuff and that was after doing all her work uncredited. She was on Wild Thornberry's for years without Mila Kunis replacing her. It's not like she went all Charlie Sheen.
Posted by Sabrblade on November 22nd, 2011 @ 12:29pm CST
He didn't mean for it to be taken so seriously. It was just a jab at Meg's voice being changed over.Screamfleet wrote:Yea, but, still why would it happen? Maybe I'm' not seeing the humor in the 'joke'.

Glad my bit of useless knowledge came in handy.

I don't get the joke either. But then again, I always thought Mila Kunis was always Meg... Guess its used to hearing her voice for a majority of the time. Also, I hope they don't replace Lacey Chabert, I've had the biggest crush on her since Lost in Space was in theaters.
Anyway, I like kids' shows like Yo Gabba Gabba (fan of The Aquabats! what can I say?), Super Hero Squad, and almost everything from Nick back when the channel had good stuff to watch, like Eureeka's Castle, so this show may be right up my alley.
Posted by Sabrblade on November 23rd, 2011 @ 2:39pm CST
I'd suggest giving the Go-Bots cartoon a watch as a test to see what kind of stuff Rescue Bots might deal with and be like.IAmThePeej wrote:Anyway, I like kids' shows like Yo Gabba Gabba (fan of The Aquabats! what can I say?), Super Hero Squad, and almost everything from Nick back when the channel had good stuff to watch, like Eureeka's Castle, so this show may be right up my alley.

I have all 4 episodes, and I kind of enjoy them. They start to be painful if watched back to back, but once a week, I can handle it, so if that is any indication of the story structure, it will be bearable, and just fun. I hope the quality is higher than a straight-to-video release when it comes to story and animation though. I'm not expecting Transformers Prime quality animation or story, but at least on par with, say, the original Gobots show.

It wasn't really hard to understand, its just.. Not funny, I guess is the best way to put it. But still, so far she's what's drawing me to the show, so even if it is insufferable, I'll watch it, and buy the DVDs just because it has Lacey attached to it.
