And he turns into a pumpkin.

I also do hope that when Bisk, Terrashock, Filch, and Ped show up at the Toy Fair, they will be classified in all sections, including Warrior class. Because you know, it would be more fun to see these guys in their Warrior forms.

Me? I mean, I was the one who reported the news from TFW2005, and even if I think one-steps are useless and the Warrior's have been less than stellar, it's still important news, especially the Legion Windblade bit.
Also, show of hands, who wants her to be absolutely adorable and vaguely anime looking?

Steeljaw has taken upon himself the task of becoming the de facto leader of the Decepticon convicts running amok on Earth, and will be going around rounding up each of them to join his army. Those who join him get scratches on their Decepticon symbols as a sign of their having joined his army.Whiplash33 wrote:Question why is steel jaws deception logo scratched out is he starting a new race of decepticon Also with this picture why is clampdown fracture underbite and thunder hooves logo scratched out

I'm getting the feeling that Fracture is going to be the Starscream to Steeljaw's Megatron. He seems too...cool looking.

If you're referring to the screenshots of Thunderhoof standing in front of a makeshift space bridge, then no, that's not quite it.
Warning: Actual spoilers below.
In episode 6, Thunderhoof pretends to be a mythical creature of local folklore called something like "Cospego"/"Kospego" and forces humans to gather materials for building a space bridge so he can get back to Cybertron. The plan fails and causes some unexpected consequences for Thunderhoof, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe.

But you know, sometimes is hard to tell how old or young they are, due to how they look. From what I've known so far, they are 13 Decepticons in the show. Which of these Decepticons is the oldest, and which one is the youngest? As for Drift, I can't really tell if he is young or old, due to the fact that he have a beard. Is Drift, young, middle-aged, or old? Because, you know, I have many friends who used to wear their beards when they were quite young. And to the Decepticons, tell me which of the Decepticons by name is young or old. This how it goes:
Name = Young/Middle-Aged/Old

To William-James88, I didn't say anything that is nonsensical. I'm just saying the exact same thing that you said about what and could not happen, that the Autobots and Decepticons are exacting the same age. I've already given you the information when that happens, and you decided to just spin it around in another direction.
Posted by psj333 on February 6th, 2015 @ 4:07pm CST
Name = Young/Middle-Aged/Old Name = Youngest/Oldest
And also as I said earlier, because Drift has a beard, is he a young, middle-aged. or old character?

See, you don't want to do that way. You don't want to identify who these characters are, how old they are, and what they do. You don't want to set up a chart and give the exact age of how young or old that these Decepticons are, based on their names, and their actions. As I said earlier, this is how the chart should look:

Anyways, before I get smacked by Burn for mentioning that, I'm hoping that for the finale, some major-league Decepticon (Megatronus?) arrives and basically kicks the crap out of Steeljaw for trying to rally the escapees. Thoughts?

NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS.
For fuck's sake, man. You give us the full biography on all of the characters that will make an appearance in this series. You put the characters in order from oldest to youngest. You identify who these characters are, how old they are, and what they do. You set up a chart and give us the exact age of these characters, based on their names and their actions. You tell us if Drift is a young, middle-aged, or old character.
What's that? You can't?
NEITHER CAN WE. WE DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN YOU DO. WE'RE NOT WORKING ON THE SHOW.
Why do you care in the first place? Why are you pestering everyone to make you a chart? What purpose does it serve? Is your life depending on having this organized information source? Also, will the series be cancelled? Will this series have 78 episodes or 156? Once you've answered these pressing questions, you can tell me when the world is going to end. I want this all done by the 14th in time for Valentine's Day.

It would be just like TFP Megatron to come kick the crap out of someone if they were to try to revive the Decepticons. However, I'm betting on this Megatronus character to be one of the Primes in Optimus' afterlife adventure.

Look, I know that this might upset a lot of people. I'm truly sorry that this has happened to you. However, your feedback is very important to me and this community. I remember seeing you online on this site in the forum section, and from what I can tell that you've been a very loyal user to this site. But I want you to understand one thing, I don't know just how old that these Decepticons are, and neither do you. Which is why I'm extremely curious in knowing the ages of these character in order for me to know them more, that's all. I don't care about their actions, their jobs, or their looks. I only do care about the age. And why, because I really do care about this show, just as much as you do. Look, I'm really sorry if I have to tell you this, but there is something that I really have to tell you about all the things that you want hear and the things that you need to hear.
Finally, it's not my job to create a chart of the ages of the Decepticons, since that I'm not an expert on that. It's someone else's job to create this chart for all of us to see. I don't mean you. I mean whoever on this site knows how to do this, please feel me to show it to me once it is finished. You don't have to be perfect to be creative, but be specific. Therefore, there's no need to be upset about. But I can see exactly where you're from, in that you're furious right now, which I completely understand. I really do hope this message has made you realize that we're all here to help, and not to fight.

That's the trouble. No one on this site knows more than you do regarding this series. william-james88 has no idea how old any of the characters are; he was being sarcastic from what I can tell. At first, I thought your questions were mere discussion topics throwing around speculation, and that everyone was getting worked up over your posts for nothing, but recently I've noticed you're honestly asking us questions that no one has the answers to. The only people you could possibly ask that would know the age of the characters or be able to give you a chart representing the ages would be the producers and writers of the show, not the moderators and members of a fansite following the show just like you are.
That said, I found it interestingly arrogant of you to outright demand a chart from william-james88. You're right; he doesn't want to make a chart for you. Not only because he can't, but it's no one's "job" on this site to do anything of the sort. It's our "job" as members to discuss the Transformers franchise, and it's the "job" of people like william-james88 (though, not him specifically) to moderate such discussions. Not create charts for you.
If you really care so deeply about how old each character is, Bumblebee's ragtag team of misfits seem generally youthful while the Decepticons seem like a bunch of middle-aged criminals. This is, of course, in relativity to a human's pace of growth, rather than overall lifespan. One must consider that the Well of AllSparks was just recently regenerated some years prior to this series, and therefore it may be logical to conclude that all characters, Bumblebee and Sideswipe (maybe Grimlock) aside, are from the new generation of Cybertronians.
But, again, this is all speculation. That's all we can do. Nothing in that paragraph is set-in-stone gospel to follow. The show hasn't aired yet. We know nothing about these characters at all. Trying to get a chart out of someone with this information is like asking someone on the street for all of their personal possessions. You're clearly not going to get what you want.

Not to be rude, but none of us owe the site to create a chart of information that isn't important to the whole of the site, ask any member that is a veteran on here and the reply will be the same: "Why would it matter?". And both my and PrymeStriker's point on this is that such a chart cannot be created, as the show hasn't aired and we don't know a single thing about any of the characters!
Despite your strange need for this chart, I salute you on excellent grammar and punctuation!

Yeah, it was in one of the episode summaries, they are fighting a skunk based Decepticon and Optimus trains with the Minicon member of the Thirteen.

I looked up that video, and you were seriously fooled by it.psj333 wrote:Sabrblade, if you really don't know what I'm talking about, you can find the video on YouTube by typing Lego Transformers Terrashock, and you will realize what I'm talking about.
That toy is not a Transformer. The video and the guy in the video call it a "Transformer" unofficially just for fun. It has nothing to do with the Terrashock character in this new cartoon because it is just something the guy in the video built in his spare time out of Technic and Bionicle pieces. To think of this thing as an actual Transformer in any official regard just because the video and guy used the word is extremely naive and foolish.
If you were to look on any database website for official Lego sets, you will never ever find an entry for Lego Transformers, let alone this Terrashock figure, because Lego has never ever had the Transformers license. This thing is a creation of the guy in the video and no one else. Not Hasbro, not TakaraTomy, no one. The fact that it bears the same name as the Terrashock character from this cartoon is nothing short of a coincidence.

Dude, I make Bionicle system based OCs all the time and mine are way more complicated and actually have color schemes. And "spent so much time"? Pfft, sorry man, this OC is pretty simple. And just because a guy makes a transforming toy doesn't make him a Transformers fan. For all you know he just has seen the movies and decided to make a OC that can transform, referring to it as a Transformer only to rake in the views.
psj333 wrote:Translation, this is not a Hasbro figure, but a fan-made figure. So why the name was registered for the show in the first place? I actually suspect that Hasbro has analyzed the video of the fan-made Terrashock and then registered the name for the show.
Or maybe they both just came up with the name Terrashock because it's cool sounding. Just because a Official Character shares a name with a Original Character doesn't mean it's based on it. Heck, back when I was doing my fanfiction, I had plans for a character named Clampdown to be Lockdown's brother, that doesn't make a connection with this Clampdown. Also, since when did Hasbro get it's ideas from the fandom, omitting the Fan-built bot contests, let alone a video which references Transformers in a vague capacity.
psj333 wrote:Because the RID Terrashock is based on a cow, is the character is also a female just like the original, or is it a male?
Have you ever looked at a biology book?! Not a cow, not by a long shot. Terrashock is clearly based on a male bison! BIG difference.

Robots in Disguise is definitely a lighter, more comedic take on the Transformers universe. There’s no ancient war being fought, meaning we can actually take the time to set-up a joke, and not feel guilty about it. Bee is front and center. Pptimus’ status is more mysterious than sorrowful. And there’s a younger, more inexperienced (aka less battle-weary) cast of characters.
